Javascript to save form in Acrobat X Pro

I have developed a return authorization form using the form function in Acrobat X Pro. I would like to insert a "save" button into the form that would save the pdf form into a specific folder using the number field in the form as the file name. I'm not much of a javascript programmer but wondering if anybody has done anything like this or is this possible? If so, any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

The location for application folder level scripts was changed with Acrobat/Reader 10.0.1.1 update.
You may need to use the "app.getPath" method to locate the exact location for your scriipts or verify the location.

Save Form in Acrobat 9 Pro Without Distribution?

I just want to save a form. I don't want to distribute it or collect responses. Help!
How do you just save the form so that anyone could use it and save it?

This doesn't get rid of the distribution bar and submit form, though. I just want it to open in Reader and look like a standard form, no "Submit" button or distribution.

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Do you know what PDF viewer those users were using? Do you have any more details about what happens when they attempt to save?

EMail completed form in Acrobat 10 Pro

I created a form in Acrobat 10 Pro with an EMail button. The problem is, when it sends the email, it sends a complet copy of the form in editable format. All I want it to send is what the form would look like when you print it and not be able to edit it. How can I do that.

You can add a signature field and have the user's use the digital signature to sign the form and as part of that action lock the fields
Or you can add JavaScript code to lock the fields before emaiilng the PDF.

Are Distributed Forms created in Acrobat XI Pro compatible with Response Forms in Acrobat X Pro?

I want to be able to use distributed forms (created in Acrobat XI Pro) that I have received back through email with Acrobat X Pro. That is, I want to be able to import the form information that is being sent back to me into a response form in Acrobat X Pro. Is this kind of "forward-compatible" issue possible?
Or, since I created the distributed forms in Acrobat XI Pro, can I only import data from those forms in an appropriate response from in Acrobat XI Pro?
Thanks!

The distribution technique for email, network folder, or internal server haven't changed between Acrobat X and XI so you should be able to do this; however, it won't be managed through Tracker because you're distributing the form through different programs.

Enable Reader users to save form from Acrobat Pro 6

I've found details on how to enable Adobe Reader users to edit & save forms when you use Acrobat Pro 8 or 9, but I can't seem to find anything on how to do it when you use Acrobat Pro 6. Can anyone help? ~ Taya

Thanks! I found out my company has Acrobat 9, so got that updated. Form now works!!

Submit Form Button Acrobat X Pro Mac

I used Acrobat X Pro for the first time a couple of months ago. I created a form and when I was finished there was a Submit Form button in the purple field at the top of the document next to the Highlight Existing Fields button, and the text to the left of the buttons said "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit Form to return the completed form. You can save data typed in this form.". I did not create any buttons on this form manually. I want to do this again for another form but I cannot figure out how I did it the first time. I have seen discussions on how to create a submit button, but I cannot get that to work either. Plus I think the Submit Form button looks nicer anyway. Please Help!!
What I Need:
- a pdf form with a submit button that will email me a copy of the completed form when pressed
- the person filling out the form also needs to be able save a copy for themselves
My System:
Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.7
Office 2011 for Mac 14.0
Acrobat X for Mac 10.0.2

I just did what it sounds like you want to do using these instructions for Acrobat Pro 9. Here is the link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3593E0A4-C5E2-4cde-A09E-2A984346DDD2.w. html
To make it so your user can save a copy go to the Advanced Tab and click on Extend Features in Adobe Reader. That should do it. Good Luck.
Best,
Lisa

Created a Form in Acrobat 9 pro and in LiveCyle. Images are blank in Acrobat Reader !!!Can you Help?

I wrote a manual using MS Word on Vista 64 bit
I have images in the manual.
When I open the File in Acrobat 9 Pro, the images are displayed.
BUT, when I opne it in ACrobat reader, the images are black boxes !
Would you be kind to help me solve this matter?

The boss used the Mac Preview app to fill out the form. Make sure that it is filled out using either Acrobat Pro or Reader to ensure you can use the output.

Change subject line of email when submitting a form using Acrobat X Pro

I have created an interactive PDF in Acrobat X PRO with a submit a form button. Everything works fine all the way through distribution except that I need the Subject Line of the submitted form when attached to an email to read "Form Returned: File Name" rather than "Submitting Completed Form". All of my past forms had the "Form Returned: File Name" subject line automatically...did something change and is it possible to change the subject line? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I had actually come across that form on multiple occasions during my research. Looks like I need the doc.mailDoc() function, but there isn't an example of the code. Looking in other places I have tried a few things unsuccessfully. I did find this, which I thought would be even better than Form Returned: File Name in the subject line...actually taking information from fields in the form:
// Build the subject line text from several fields form fields
var subj_text = getField("text1").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text2").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text3").valueAsString;
// Send the email
mailDoc({
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cSubject: subj_text,
    cMsg: "Body of email message goes here."
I entered the script(adding in my own information for the email, body and subject line) by adding an action to the button to run the java script but it did not work. Any ideas??

Editing online interactive forms using Acrobat XI Pro

Our organization recently purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in hopes of using it to create and convert many of our forms to electronic format. We recently tried opening an existing online interactive form to edit it and it says "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form". Did we purchase the wrong product for what we are trying to do? I'm in panic mode because we are very new to this type of editing and I hope we didn't purchase the wrong thing. Any suggestions?

There are two kinds of PDF forms: Acrobat forms and LiveCycle Designer
forms. The latter are actually XML files and can only be edited in
LiveCycle Designer, which used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro but is not
any more. If your forms were created in LCD then you need to purchase that
application as well if you want to edit them.

Why can't I see the text I enter when testing a fillable form using Acrobat 9 Pro?

I created a fillable pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have done this several times over the last two years with no problems. Recently, when I tested my fields by typing in text, it didn't show up. Out of sheer frustration I just typed a staggering amount of letters and suddenly I could see a couple of letters, but they were chopped off at the top, and no where near the bottom of the field where they should be. What is going on?

I know!!! This is so frustrating. I have attached the document.
Maybe you can try to type in it and see. I used the default font, but I
did change the size from "varies" to "10 pt."
I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot for me! Thank you!

Fill and save form in Acrobat Reader + checkbox problem

I use Acrobat Pro X to create fillable forms and then save the file as Reader Extended PDF - Enable Additional Features, and when I want to open it and fill it in in Acrobat Reader, I get a pop-up saying I can only save it as a blank document.
Another issue I'm having is that when I fill it in Preview and save it, everything saves except the checkboxes, they are always blank.
Could this be because I'm using Mac OS X Lion?

I'm sure I open the one that I save as enabled version but it does sound like the file is just being saved as a regular PDF. Here is the screenshot below of the security settings, I'm not sure exactly what the enabled version is supposed to show.
And here is the message I'm getting:

I want to create a form in Acrobat XI Pro, but if I try to do a new form, it opens Forms Central.

I don't want to create a form in this application since it is going away. How do I get around that? Is there some way to turn off that option so I can create the form directly in Acrobat Pro? !

Thanks! That will help. I didn't want to start to recreate this form in another app. It is one I created in Live Design before we upgraded and I lost that app. Now I cannot edit the form anymore so I need to start over. This way I can just re-create what I already had.

Question about Creating Forms in Acrobat 9 Pro

I designed an invoice form to send to my clients that allows me to easily fill out form data and automatically email to my client. Everything works great, but when I send it, the form is still active and I want the fields to be closed for alteration. How can I make this happen?
many thanks!

What I would do is flatten the form, which converts the form fields to regular page contents so that they are no longer interactive. There are a number of ways to do this, including JavaScript, PDF Optimizer (Discard Objects > Flatten form fields), and Preflight (Flatten all form fields fixup).
Edit: I did not see the previous responses when I posted this, due toforum wierdness, so sorry for the duplication.
