Is it possible to save a copy of a PDF form created in Livecycle Designer ES3?

Hey,
I've created a form using the trial version of Livecycle ES3 however when I view the form I get this message:
"you cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like to keep a copy for your records."
Is there a way around this/ is this just with the trial version? If I download the full version will the forms then be saveable?
I don't want to send out the form to people unless they are able to save a copy as I think that this could cause issues.
Answers much appreciated!

If you use the File > Distribute Form this does allow recipients to save data entered into the form. However, beware of the following points:
1. File > Distribute Form will take you through a process to gather information about your preferences for distribution including destination email addresses. Once you have gone through this process, subsequently there is no option to change or reset any of the original inputs. For example, if you wish to change the destination email address, you need to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go to Edit > Preferences and select the identity category. The email address can be changed there.
2.The File > Distribute Form, seems to make other changes to the PDF too, because it uses the email address entered when Distribute Form is first used, to submit the PDF by email. If you have an email submit button in your form, like I did, this does not work any longer in Adobe Reader. Clicking it now simply prompts to save a local copy of the PDF. The submit does work in Acrobat Pro, but this is useless for a distributed form.

PDF Form created in LC Designer 2: Possible to make PDF backwards compatible to Acrobat 8 Reader

Client has not and doesn't want to upgrade to Acrobat 9. The form is interactive and works perfectly in Acrobat 9. Form opens in Acrobat 8 but message alerts pop up warning to upgrade Acrobat. Is there a way to make these message alerts go away?

Sure,
just set up the target version of your form under the form properties.
You can select either 8.0 or 8.1.
But, you should check the reports bar right after as not all functions you currently use might be supported by earlier Reader versions.

Is it possible to save a copy of Form

Whenever I open my custom bid form in Adobe Reader it gives me a warning message that says I will not be able to save data entered into the form and if I would like a copy of the Form I need to print it.
Is it possible to save a copy of the form (and data entered into it) to my computer for record keeping purposes. I would like to be able to open the Form and enter data and then save a copy of this form for Customer A and then open the form again and enter data for Customer B and save that form...etc...

You have to "rights enable" the PDF. You do that in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, following menu option "Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader"

Is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

is possible in acrobat reader fill in and save interactive PDF created with LiveCycle Designer?

Hi,
Only if the form has been Reader Enabled before it is sent out to the user with Reader.
There are two ways of Reader Enabling the form. One using Acrobat Standard v9 or Acrobat Professional v8 (both have license restrictions). The other is to use LC Reader Extensions ES2, which is a server product (additional costs).
Some info here:
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/2010/11/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reade r/
A search of the forums for "Reader Extensions" or "Reader Enable" will give more information.
Hope that helps,

Unable to save a copy of encrypted pdf with Acrobat Pro 10.0

I create an encrypted pdf using prince a tool to convert HTML documents to pdf. I am unable to save a copy of the pdf file when i use Acrobat Pro 10.0.
It displays the following error
"The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document(21)."
However Acrobat Reader (basic) allows me to do so.
I am also able to save a copy of the document with Acrobat pro 7. I raised this issue with Prince and they told me that it could probably be a bug/unwanted behaviour with Acrobat Pro 10.0
My system environment details:
OS: Windows xp
Acrobat Pro: 10.0.0

Hi
Please help I've tried every forum and tried everything you are my only hope ive created a Interative PDF form In indesign cs6 and when my clients fill it out it doesn't save the data, also ive put it online and again the same and the submit button doesnt work, ive tried the advanced save in Acrobat and still the same what am i doing wrong GUTTED

I designed in InDesign, exported as Interactive PDF, opened in Pro, saved with extended options.
I have both Pro XI and the most recent version of Reader. (Mac os x)
I actually used a template to design the form. Would this somehow be causing an issue??
Here's a link to the form-- (website is still being developed.)

Is it possible to remove XML properties from a PDF form?

I created a PDF version of our employment application in Acrobat and Live Cycle Designer. I'm knew to Acrobat and somewhere along the line, must have turned on XML. Now I want to combine the application with another document but I can only do that as a package, which I have done, but it throws people off and I'd rather make one document that's not a package. I can't do that with an Adobe XML
Is it possible to turn off XML without recreating the document?

Not really without hacking the PDF form you created. If you still want to go that way and the form is NOT a dynamic form then find a utility like WindJack's PDF CanOpener. Make a copy of the document and open it in either Acrobat with PDF CanOpener plug-in and navigate through the PDF innards and find the XFA dictionary and delete it. Then Save the document. You will need to re-edit and arrange any JavaScript actions in the saved form because Acrobat and Designer use two different JS engines.

Is it possible to designate stapling when printing a PDF form?

I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer (ver. 10.0.1029120306.1.870331) to set up a new report for an SAP application. I can certainly designate duplex printing from within the form by using Form Properties and the PDF Print Options, but no stapling option can be found. Is this possible? Is there a way to set this up from within the PDF form? If not within the form, what have others found to work for their environment? We are using Xerox GPD PS printers here and they certainly offer the stapling feature.
Thanks for any suggestions...Pat

OK...it has been a wild ride, but between our Basis team and the Server team (which handles our printer drivers), here is what they came up with to enable this feature. They really put in the time to figure this out. References to PRD in this document is a reference to our production machine. ZPMLOCL is a printer type used by our users for printing these work order forms. A lot of effort was also given to make sure the driver on the printer supported the stapling feature (most do anymore). This effort is to not only allow stapling, but to also eliminate the pesky banner page which can suddenly start printing with these changes. We are using Xerox printers in our evironment.
Steps for Basis Portion of PRD change on the - Standard Work Order Form - shop paper document
(STMS) Transport device type ZPMHPLJ4 to PRD with Transport
SPAD
Change device type of printer ZPMLOCL from SAPWIN to ZPMHPLJ4.
Click on access method tab and change access method to G: (Front End Printing with Control Tech).
Confirm the "No device Selection at frontend" checkbox is selected.
Hit the Save button.
Copy zpmhppcl5e.xdc file from AD1 to ADS, in the location below.
4. SA38/SE38* run program RSPO0022 on PRD and Check to see if transport from step 1 moves the assignment below.
If not create assignment the same as in the red box below.
5. Finally, stop and then start the XML Form Module Java Service in ADS.
I have no other notes on this setup. I hope this helps you in your efforts to get the stapling feature up and running on your system.

You have to use an Adobe product that add extended form rights to the PDF,
Acorbat 9 Standard + or Acorbat 8 Professional +.

You need opne of the Acrobat products that GKaiseril mentioned. Once the file is enabled, you can use Reader to fill it out and save it.

How can I save a partially filled in PDF form and complete it later, before submission?

When I try to do this (in Reader X), I get the following error message:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Save a copy is only available in Acrobat Pro, so users wouldn't have this option. Most of users would have only the PDF Reader to fill in the form. They can either click on the disc or go to File\Save As...\PDF to save the form. It works ok on my computer, but obviously not on all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though.
Best wishes.

Is it possible for users to enter data on PDF forms?

I would like to use Crystal Reports to generate a PDF form with data from database; I am experienced with that.
Here's the question -- Many of the fields will be populated from my database, but I would like to leave some fields blank for the user to edit manually. (I do not expect these edits to update the database.) Is there a field or object I can insert to allow for these manual edits?
I have seen this feature at my own benefits website. I can click on the PDF and enter some values in blank fields. It gives me a warning that the changes will only be shown when I print, not when I save.
I have been unable to create this feature using Visual Studio 2005. Do I have to upgrade to 2008? Or do I have to upgrade my Crystal Report package in Visual Studio? Or is this feature not possible in Visual Studio?
Any thoughts are most welcome.

There are 3rd-party tools (see comprehensive list at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html) that provide extra pdf functionality on top of the pdf export from Crystal.
In the case of my Visual CUT software, you can use hidden formulas inside your Crystal report to generate form fields (pre-populated as well as empty) as part of the pdf export process.
