LiveCycle Designer 7 : Saving the PDF form for the users ?

Hi,
When building a form, which will be filled by users, is there any way that the users can be offered the possibility to save their data within the PDF so that they can send the complete form by emails or through a other files exchange media (FTP, WEB, Flashdisk... )
Although having the possibility to sent only the XML data via email (which is great and we would like to keep this option) we fear that some of our users, which are filling the form, might not feel confident with this and might want to sent their completed form too ?
Thanks for your answer
Eric B

I was able to make this work for the first time yesterday. Assuming that you have Abobe Acrobat 8.0, once you have built the form...using adobe 8 go to the Advanced menu and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader". The first time that I did this, and then attached the form to a user of reader - they were not able to save the completed form. So - I went to 'Forms' on the menu and selected "distribute form". Then the user of adobe was able to saved that form and changes that they made.
The distribute function wants you to email from there as a default. I had trouble because our default mail client is Novell. Still can't get that to work right. BUT - you can distribute the form and save it to your drive for distribution later. I then attached it to an email and sent it out to users.
Be sure to walk your end user through - using save as and saving it to their computer. My folks are used to NOT being able to do that so they still said they couldn't save the completed form.
Sorry if this explanation is very basic - but I am not at all a programmer! :) This is what worked for me. I spent hours on this site yesterday trying to work out the email piece and stumbled into this solution.
Good luck!

Livecycle design 8 with PDF forms

I need to create a simple PDF form to be hosted in internal web site which can be filled out by the viewer and submitted by email to the designated person with all the info in tact in the same PDF form? The users will only have Adobe Reader. I already have the form in excel 2003 and am running windows XP professionsl 2002.
Thank you,

Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

How to open the PDF form in the same browser window

Hi All,
I have created a webdynpro application to display a PDF form.The form is displayed in the new window.I want it to be displayed in the same window.
How to make the PDF form to be displayed in the same window
Thanks
Ponnusamy P

Hi Ponnusamy
Earlier there was <b>_self</b> as the target property for LinkToURLUIElement, but it is not available anymore,instead we need to use exit plugs
there is one way to do
1) Create a viewset of type Grid in your window
2) Create a new view with iFrame added to it
3) Specify number of columns/rows as per your requirement
to the viewset Suppose 1 Column and 2 Rows
4) In the second row embed your view which has iframe
Using Plugs[Inbound and Outbound] you can view your PDF in the same window.
This is not solution but this is one of the way to achieve your need

I want to prevent users from saving a PDF form with the data filled in

I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create a fillable PDF form. When I open my form in Acrobat Reader XI, it says right at the top "You can save data typed into this form." I have NOT saved it as Reader Extended PDF. This is a form that will be emailed to recipients or available to download from our website as a PDF so they can fill it out on their office computer, print with the data filled, and then fax or snail mail to us. (No online or email submissions.) We do not want them to accidentally save confidential information on the form that will be visible to the next user when they close it, or to Save As and keep the filled form.
I know there are still ways to do it if someone really wants to, like printing it to PDF or using a PDF software other than Reader, but these are not folks who would have time or intention to do such a thing. 99% of them will be using some version of Reader, probably a much older one than mine. Thank you for any advice!

Thank you Gilad and George for trying. I just discovered both of you have replied to this issue here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5881211#5881211 - which is my exact same situation; I am also a regional health care agency trying to provide forms for health care providers! (It's a small world.) I just didn't find this thread the first time I searched for answers. I will investigate the JavaScript reset Form statement. Thanks!

Preview deletes info when saving a pdf form from the IRS

This is driving me CRAZY. I have been working on my tax forms which have all been saved from the internet as a pdf through preview. When I go into the file to update numbers and try to save the file with the updated information, it won't let me. It will only let me do a "save as". If I do a "save as" and name the file the same as before (replaces original) or if I rename it, the pdf will save, but any data that I did not type in in the most recent session is deleted. So, when I open up my taxes and change a few numbers, the new numbers are saved, but all the rest of my data from before is deleted. It is making me want to scream. It does this repeatedly to different forms saved from the IRS' website and my local state's revenue website and on different days and with a shutdown in between. It isn't the websites, it is preview!
Oh, and just for info, sometimes preview will let me save the data I have updated and I don't lose anything, but then I can make a couple of more changes, go to save and the ability to "update" my current file with "save" isn't highlighted, only the "save as".
This is a brand new macbook pro, only a couple of months old. It has Preview version 5.0.3. I have done all updates that the computer has downloaded.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,
Kristie

Preview suck!!! Please for your own sanity use acrobat to edit PDF. Get it from adobe.com

Displaying the roles in the adobe form for the corresponding system

Hi Gurus,
I have two fields in my WDP Abap interactive form. In first filed, 2 radio buttons are there (1. SAP R/3 system, 2. BW System) As per this selection, I need to bring the existing roles and display them in the Adobe form. I know the technical system names for R/3 and BW as well. Please suggest me how can I achieve this. I know there should be a RFC call ... Please give me the detailed explaination.

Hi
Check the format (in the object pallete) of the date field in Adobe liveCycle Designer, If it is not set already set it according to your requirement. then see if it works
Hope this helps

Hide/Disable Print button on the Adobe form for my user

Hi
How do I Hide/Disable my print option for the user viewing my Adobe form shown using WD for Java application.
Regards,
Murali.

Hello Raja Sekhar,
This object is not available anymore in Designer 7.1. This setting can now be achieved through a web dynpro (Java) API (interface <a href="https://media.sdn.sap.com/javadocs/NW04s/SPS7/wd/com/sap/tc/webdynpro/clientserver/adobe/pdfdocument/api/IWDPDFDocumentAppearance.html">IWDPDFDocumentAppearance</a>). In web dynpro ABAP you would need to use the method handler of the <b>InteractiveForm</b> UI element (IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL, SET_HIDE_TOOLBARS).

Where is the PDF file for the User Manual?

I have found the Hardware Maintenance Manual but think there is another manual stored on the W520 that covers other, more day-to-day usage. This is on the hard drive somewhere, right?
...or did I misplace an optical disk that came in the package? Have searched in the Lenovo web site for our model.
Suggestions?

Im unable to open the pdf file for the code to redeem Mountain Lion:the '*****'file could not be opened. it may be damaged or in a format that preview doesn't recognise

I've tried opening the file in ibooks, on ipad, in Safari, and straight from e-mail, but it can't open the .pdf file. Could it be corrupted? I'm brand new to the MBP so may be missing something obvious!

If Preview won't read the pdf file, try Adobe Reader. It is possible, of course, that the file may actually be damaged, as Preview should be able to open the file.

How to Get XML from the PDF form generated using Designer that is stored in LC

We have a Requirement of Generating reports on what a PDF form is comprised of? It is easy for us to scan / parse the XML format of the PDF form and get all the relavent Info we need. We are able to see the XML format of the PDF form when we open up the Form in Designer.
But we are trying to run this report in a Batch Mode for many PDF files. I need to know how to get a XML format of the PDF file that is stored in LC that was developed using Designer. Once we are able to get the XML of the PDF form it is just a scan / parse to get the relavent data.
Can some one tell me how to get the XML format of a PDF file stored in the LC?

If I place the PDF form on the LC server - Can you let me know of the tools you are referring to get XML design from the PDF form?
Is it through a Process Orchestration I need to run the PDF through to get a XML design out of it?
I am fine in storing the PDF in the LC server? How will I get the XML design (XML) from this PDF on the server?

How to display all PO data in the PDF form?

Hi,experts,
I create a WDJ application with the PDF form for print all PO sheet.
I can transfer all data from WDJ to PDF form.
I need continuous print all PO sheet that include header and items.
After I run the application, I found only the one PO header and one items in the PDF FORM.
I think the config of the adobe form is error.
The version of the adobe livecycle designer is 7.1.
Do you give me some hint?
Best regards,
tao

Hi, Chintan,
Thanks a lot for your reply so quickly.
I have check the config of the "Repeat Row for each item" according your word.
I change the checkbox of the "Repeat Row for each item" for the PO items, and the PO items is ok after I run the application.
But the pdf is only one PO sheet, not all PO sheet.
I found the checkbox of the "Repeat Row for each item" is unabled in the HEADER subform. I think it is the cause for the problem.
But I don't know how to enable the HEADER subform because the check box of the "Repeat Row for each item" is unable in the subform of the header.
Do you give me some hint? Thanks a lot for your help!!!!!

Want to display an interactive pdf form in the browser

Hi all,
I had created a value node and has also binded it to the 'dataSource' property of Interactive form UI Element & i had also binded the 'pdfSource' property to a value attribute of binary type.
i had design the pdf form using the Adobe liveCycle Designer now when i deploy my application to my server (not running on my own system)
No error is shown but the pdf form space only shows red cross in it.
Please tell me where i could be wrong.

Hi,
If you want to display PDF in browser by using Webdynpro means you need to follow like this.
ADS should indtalled in your portal.
After only you have to create an Interactiveform UI Element in WD and that should be designed there data value should be drag and drop.
Then only deploy the application the pdf should be displayed in browser.
I am thinking like this only.
Otheriwise post your issues.
Thanks,
Lohi.

Smart Form for the CRM Survey

How do we trigger the smart form for the same.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Praveen,
As per my understanding u have to make a custom smartform for CRM.
Try using FM CRM_ORDER_READ with importing Parameters IT_HEADER_GUID and for Bar Code
use standard smartform BC470_FLOWD_LABELS.
Hope This Helps...

How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
Hopefully someone can answer my question.

George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
Does this sound possible to you?
