LC 8.0 form wiping entered data.

I have a dynamic form originally created using LC 7.1. The form was Saved As... using LC 8.0. The form has a table which adds rows via an addInstance button.
Using Acro Pro 8, I distributed it so that it could be completed and saved by a user with just Adobe Reader (7.08). Whilst completing the form with the user, adding rows, entering data and regularly saving, I reached the bottom of the page and added an additional row (to spill over onto a continuation sheet), however all the data disappeared from the completed fields (all the fields except check boxes). Even purging the cache, closing down, and reopening the Saved form doesn't recover the lost data!
So am I misunderstanding the licence limitations of this upgrade? If you are supposed to be able to complete/edit and save the form, what am I doing wrong?
Any help, greatly appreciated.

Where is some documentation on this bug? I am having the same problem (disappearing data EXCEPT radio buttons and check boxes). I do not manipulate instances in my form, but I do update the layout (it is dynamic) and allow users to save data.
I suspect that my end users are using earlier versions of Reader, but would like some documentation on the subject, as I do not have access to the users' computers. I can't recreate because I have Reader 8.

    Leigh,
    After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
    Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
    The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
    You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
    Try it out.

  • How to lock a pdf form after entering data

    Hi
    I have created certificate with editable fields for a client, I was of the thinking that the certificate is to be filled-in and printed however the client informed me that it is instead emailed to recipients. How can I make it possible for the client to lock the certificate after entering data.
    Bear in mind that the client is using Adobe Reader not Acrobat. I have tried setting a security password but Reader does not require the password in order to enable or disable the fields.

    If the user has Acrobat, not the free Reader, they could flatten the PDF form. If they only have Reader they can make the fields read only. They also might want to use a digital certificate to invisibly sign the PDF. Signing the PDF will add code to disclose if the PDF has been changed since it was signed.

  • LC/Acro 8.0 dynamic form resetting entered data

    I have a dynamic form originally created using LC 7.1. The form was Saved As... using LC 8.0. The form has a table (in the Body Page) which adds rows via an addInstance button. The rows expand to fit the text. Two master pages are used as the second is a continuation sheet.
    Using Acro Pro 8, I distributed it so that it could be completed and saved by a user with just Adobe Reader (7.08). Whilst completing the form, adding rows, entering data and regularly saving, I reached the bottom of the page and added an additional row (to spill over onto the continuation sheet), however all the data disappeared from the completed fields (all the fields except check boxes). The same happens when the table row expands to accommodate the text, thereby spilling over onto the continuation sheet (2nd master page). It also looks as though the RemoveInstance manager resets the form data when I delete a row and there is no script telling it to do this.
    Even purging the cache, closing down, and reopening the Saved form doesn't recover the lost data!
    So am I misunderstanding the licence limitations of this upgrade or is it a bug with the InstanceManager? If you are supposed to be able to complete/edit and save the form, what am I doing wrong?

  • PDF form - Displaying entered data in another field

    Hi, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me with this. I'm trying to create a PDF form containing a business card graphic/template with fields that'll update as the user enters his/her data. I wish to use an existing graphic with added fields which are read only, underneath I want to provide fields for the customer to enter their data which is then reflected into the fields of my graphic. Hope this makes some sense! Basically I want the customer to see real time proof of the business card as they update it with their own personal information.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks for reading.

    Thanks for this. I've found a good solution for what i'm trying to do
    Placing the script below in the custom calculation script for my Text2 field will copy the contents of Text1 to Text2 this way I can set individual
    properties for each field. (I found duplicating the same field means they share the same properties)
    {event.value = getField("Text1").value;
    Cheers

  • Tabular form loses entered data on return from error page after validation

    APEX 3.2
    I have a manually-built tabular form with validation. I display the error on the error page. When using Firefox and Chrome, when returning from the error page, the data I entered in the tabular form is still displayed. When using IE, that data is NOT retained.
    This worked properly at one time in IE.
    Suggestions?

  • Need to have a form to enter data and then send data to database

  • On IPad3, setting up form to enter alpha information only on a sheet. Form only seems to accept numeric data. How do I get it to work?

    I am setting up a numbers ledger to catagorize and keep information on documents.  Trying to set up a form to enter data, but forms only seem to accept numeric data--in that the numeric key pad pops up automatically and there is no way to change it to the alpha keypad.  I have tried various ways of setting up the sheet, thinking this may change the way the form will accept data, without success. 
    Further description:  Sheet one, all columns and rows have alpha information, such as "Name of Document", "Sub-Titles in Document", "Headings" in document.  My attempt is to create using Numbers, a library program allowing me to enter and search the beforementioned.  It works, I have been entering the data row by row, but want to create a form that will make data entry easier. 

    Thanks to bwfromspring hill for answering this question for me by way of another question on another topic.  It is working now.  I had set up the form before I had finished the sheet.  By deleting the form, selecting the sheet, then clicking + and "create new form", then selecting the sheet name, the form now enters alph data just like the sheet was set up to do.  I did have to go to the paint brush, select tables and make sure that "table name--on" was selected so the form was linked to the sheet.

  • Why would entering data into a basic form be so slow?

    We have a form created in Acrobat 8.0 that has about 30 fields. They are only fields to be filled in and then the form is printed.
    Until we updated Adobe Reader to version 9.1.1, we had no issues entering data into the form. With versions 9.1.1 and above, data entry gets slower and slower as you move down the form.
    Entering data into the first part of the form is rapid. When entering data into the middle part of the form, you can type characters and then watch as the characters slowly appear. When you get to the end of the form. the characters you type can take about 5 seconds each befor they appear.
    Can't figure out why version 9.1.1 and higher cause data entry to get progressively slower as you move down the form.

    Hi,
    I realize that you mentioned that it worked in 9.1, so perhaps the problem is not related to RDP performance.  However, you still might want to have a look at Ericom Blaze, a software product that accelerates and compresses standard Microsoft RDP. Blaze accelerates RDP performance by as much as 10-25 times, and helps deliver higher frame rates and reduce screen freezes and choppiness.
    You can read more about Blaze at:

  • Planning web form error "This form contains unsaved data. Select OK to cont

    I've got a user that suddenly gets an error on a planning web form. She opens the form and enters data but when she tries to submit gets the following error “This form contains unsaved data.

  • Can we enter data in any standard table directly through custom form??

    Hi,

    I have create custom form in R.12. I want to insert data in quality standard table directly through custom form. Need experts guideline.
    Awaiting regards,
    I would not recommend touching the standard tables at all unless you are being guided by the SR. For a record to be in the standard table it should go through series of validations based on the what operation you are performing and some times datas are dependent upon the other tables, and also some times the same records are hit to so many other tables simultaneously.
    Therefore I would not recommend this brother.

  • Restrict Which Users Can Enter Data In List Form in SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Is there a way to restrict which users can enter data in particular fields in a list item entry form?
    We are using a SharePoint Foundation 2013 list and calendar to manage vacation time. We need to restrict non-supervisor users users from entering a value in a certain field in the vacation request form.
    Here is how the system works now:
    1. Employees complete the vacation request form (which creates a list item)
    2. An email is sent to their supervisor to either approve or decline the request
    3. Approved requests are automatically entered onto the vacation calendar
    We have restricted the list so that only supervisors can edit items (the pending vacation requests). The problem is that all users can mark their own requests as approved when they fill out the request form in the first place. Is there a way to restrict
    which users can enter data in particular fields on a list item entry form?

    Thanks for the suggestion. We ended up 1) hiding the approval column and 2) creating a second list, workflow, etc. The user no longer sees the approval column when filling out the form. Requests are now submitted to list A. Workflow #1 copies the request
    to List B, then deletes the item from List A. Once the request is added to List B, Workflow #2 emails the user that the request has been received and emails the supervisor that a request needs to be approved. Only supervisors have editing permissions on List
    B. Approved requests are automatically added to the vacation calendar (the calendar view of List B).
    We found the following site to be helpful in learning how to hide the list column:

  • How can I get user to enter date & time on a form?

    I have a form where I want the user to enter a date and time for an event. The database field is in MYSQL datetime format
    I've used the datepicker on the form field but it only allows for a date entry not time.(eeven when seetin the width to 22 chars
    I remember doing something before which allowed the user to pick a date and then add the time at the end.
    I've got the date defaulted to dd/mm/yyyy and the time to H:mm in the control panel.
    Can anyone help please or is there a better way to enter date and time?.
    Any help appreciated
    Thanks
    Clive

    Two things:
    The column in your database is defined as DateTime, not Date
    You use the option on the Date Picker to choose datetime, not date
    This will give the user the ability to choose a date and time from the date column.  If you need more control over the time, you probably need to add another column defined as Time.  Then you can use the validation rules to force an entry rather than allowing the default (current time).

  • Enter data in a form - save that data to disk...

    I've got a form application which has typical fields for data entry, ref number, name, address etc.....up to ten items.
    I have a Main Menu form, four other forms, and can move between them fine.
    This is a cut down example, with only one text field, of the type of form I'm using to enter data to:
    package Test;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import com.borland.jbcl.control.*;
    public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
    Button button1 = new Button();
    Label label1 = new Label();
    TextField textField1 = new TextField();
    Filer filer1 = new Filer();
    //Construct the frame
    public Frame1() {
    enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
    try {
    jbInit();
    catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    //Component initialization
    private void jbInit() throws Exception {
    button1.setBounds(new Rectangle(136, 202, 133, 45));
    button1.setLabel("a button");
    button1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    button1_actionPerformed(e);
    this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
    this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
    this.setTitle("Form Test");
    label1.setBounds(new Rectangle(18, 10, 111, 37));
    label1.setAlignment(2);
    label1.setText("a text field");
    textField1.setBounds(new Rectangle(166, 13, 109, 23));
    textField1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    filer1.setDirectory("c:\\");
    filer1.setFrame(this);
    this.getContentPane().add(label1, null);
    this.getContentPane().add(textField1, null);
    this.getContentPane().add(button1, null);
    //Overridden so we can exit on System Close
    protected void processWindowEvent(WindowEvent e) {
    super.processWindowEvent(e);
    if(e.getID() == WindowEvent.WINDOW_CLOSING) {
    System.exit(0);
    void button1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
    Frame2 myFrame = new Frame2();
    myFrame.show();
    I'd like to be able to enter the data, save individual records to disk, and access them individually. I've been trying to implement
    'Serialize' but with no success so far. I'd be most grateful for any advice on how to save the individual records without implementing a database. I'm using applications for all the forms. To get me started, I'd be happy just to be able to enter something in the example form's text field, save it, and display it again.
    Many Thanks

    Though it would be better with ODBC bridge to an access DB.
    ... ( <--- that's dot, dot, dot) though for some reason you don't want to go down the DB path ?!?!

  • Error entering data in a data form using Smart View

    One of my user is facing an issue while entering data in a data form through Excel, if she uses the same data form in workspace she is able to enter data. She is facing the issue while entering in a specific column, for all other columns she is able to enter data in the data form. It is only one column for which she is facing issue while using smart view/excel and not workspace, as in workspace she is able to enter data.
