My newly created fillable form is not saving the data input by applicant

I have created a fillable form from a word document using Acrobat XI. This has been uploaded to our careers website, however, feedback from some applicants is that have completed this rather detailed application form they are unable to save the newly input information and thus when the forms come back to us they are blank. Is there a setting that I should have applied to prevent this from happening?

It sounds like the users with the problem are using Adobe Reader older the version XI. For those users the form requires Extended Form Rights be applied tot he PDF form by you before they can save the from.

Form created with LiveCycle is not saving the data of a fillable form.

I had posted this in another forum, which got moved over to this forum. Forgive the double post, I wasn't sure if it was assumed that it was resolved.
This document: http://www.southark.edu/employment/application-v5.pdf was created a couple of years ago in Acrobat and LiveCycle.
I wanted visitors to have the ability to fill in the document and save their data.
So, I opened it in Adobe Acrobat X and saved it using the Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
However, after filling in the document and saving, no data is saved.
I was informed that since it was an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, that they have special considerations that don't apply to forms created in Acrobat.
Still needing help in giving my visitors the ability to save their form data.
Thanks,
Charley

Thanks so much for your reply.
Employing your solution our website visitors can save the data using Acrobat Pro.
They cannot save their data using Reader (most of them don't have Acrobat Pro). See image below.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks very much for your time and interest.

Not saving the data in two tables

Hello,
its my production problem, i have an update form where you can update the records and these
records will sit in the temp tables until the final approval from the supervisor.
In this update form i have two table where i am saving the data one is dup_emp to save the
officer data and another is the dup_address to save the officer where he worked data.
in this form address form is pop up screen where you can update and gets back to the original
form where you can see all the other fields. my problem is if a user hit the cancel button on
address form example the user doesnt want to update any information on that screen so user
cancel that screen, and comes to the other screen where the user makes the changes to the
appropriate fields and hits the SAVE button. in this case its saving only to the dup_emp table
data not the address data from the address form to dup_address table for the same record.
if the user cancels in both the screens cancel button it should delete the record from both the
tables but cancel in form and saves in another form it should save the record in both the
tables.
here is my code from both cancel buttons from both the forms.
this is code is from address form cancel button.
delete from dup_address
where address_id=:address_id
and parent_table_name='emp';
commit;
CLEAR_BLOCK;
go_block('DUP_EMP');
This code is from dup form of the cancel button
declare
temp_address_id varchar2 (12);
begin
delete from dup_emp
where secondemp_id =:dup_emp.secondemp_id;
delete from dup_address
where parent_t_id=:global.secondemp
and parent_table_name='emp';
commit;
clear_block;
go_block('secondaryemp');
END;

Hi,
As Aravind mentioned, it's nothing related to workflow. You have to find a BADI in tcode PA30 that could be used after the infotype is updated. So, you can use FM SAVE_TEXT.

Standard transaction CG02 is not saving the data through F4 help.

Hi Guru's,
I have a standard transaction CG02 for this i need to maintain the data for few of the fileds like Heat sensitive, Thermal energy hazard etc for updating Derived C-Alpha code. So for i can able to maintain data in two ways either directly or through F4 help. when i supply data through F4 help, on the F4 help window im providing the value and clicking on continue button. when i press on the contine button it has to update the Derived C-Alpha code if all the required fields filled. If suppose i do nt fill the required fileds it has to through the error message on the status bar like 'Invalid Data Combination'. Now the problem is when i clicking on continue button of F4 help window im displaying error message. when i try to change the value or try to fill the required fields so for im clicking on F4 button then its directly taking me out from the transaction. If i press on any key also samething is happening but the same is not happening when i supplied the value directly and saving. Please let me know the reason and help me for the same with needful solution. If anyting required plz ask me i wil provide u.

Fillable form will not print the second page

I have created a fillable two-page Acrobat form using Adobe InDesign. Everything appears to be okay with the form, except that the second page does not print. The first page prints okay, but the second page exits as a blank page without content from the form or the user-entered data.

For Macintosh the AdobeViewer Plugins does not function and Hasn't since Acrobat 8. Adobe has no intention of fixing it, I received a nasty reply: what feature do you want removed in order fix the problem. Its not worth it and we have no intention of ever fixing it. However its shipped and installed on the Mac version
The only PDF Plugin that works is PDFBrowser Plugin by Schubert of Germany, and it appears he has discontined updating although Thankfully It works in OSX.8 with most mdern Updates. You can Only fill out forms by opening Chrome, iCab , and OperaNext only Safari doesn't work and any product using the Gecko Rendering engine (Mozilla Products , FireFox and SeaMonkey Form Fields don't work or crash the browser.

Problem: EO based VO not saving VO data in database

Hi Experts!
For a shocker and contradiction to the concepts and theory of OAF, something strange and wierd i came across. I got an EO based VO, which got some data (i've confirmed this by debugging) is not saving the data to database on "apply". By apply i mean .. getTransaction().commit();
This is something which violates completely with the theories, so i've no clues about it. Can anyone suggest something !!
I mean, how to trace the functionality and resolve the issue?

How to create fillable forms for users of reader IX or X in acrobat pro XI?

I created fillable forms in Acrobat Pro XI. How can i make them fillable also for users with Reader IX or X? As Adobe Reader für Vista or Linux is only available in version IX or X, it is not possible for these users to fill in the forms?

Open PDF Form in Acrobat XI then choose File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (inclues form fill-in & save)...
Then, save the form with new name and it's gonna work.

Creating Fillable Forms

I have seen questions very simiar to this one, but not precisely the same. I spoke with your enterprise support division and they said it is possible to create fillable forms using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 standard or Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional. Is that correct? I am unable to find the procedures for doing this.
thank you,
Robert

Send the form to 500 people
1) Each Form?
2) What happens if you go over?
3)What if one of those 500 people them forwards it to someone else? Is that person part of the 500?
4)How does Adobe keep track?
1) Each "unique" form can be sent to 500 people and they can fill it out an infinite amount of times
2) well, a couple of the local agencies in our state went over and are now in litigation with Adobe
3)Yes. %00 people per form total. No matter how they end up getting it
4)Not sure anyone outside of Adobe can answer that (and they probably wouldn't tell you if there were some definitive way of tracking). In our local cases, they just got busted
unlimited amount of people and collect the data 500 times
1) What happens when we go over 500 times
2)Each form?
3)What happens if one of those unlimited people then sends it along?
1)A very expensive (for you) law suit for violation of the EULA
2)Each "unique" form can be sent to any amount of people but again, you can only collect the data 500 times. This also includes forms that are filled out, printed and mailed. That form can be used 500 times total.
3)Doesn't matter, it can be sent to all the people you want. See #2.
I'm really stuck on this 500 number. It seams very little.
It is and that is intentional. They used to now allow it at all. For larger usage, you would need to purchase a very expensive server side solution from Adobe. How expensive? Let's just ssay that the IRS decided it was too much to update from the latest version so you still have to use Reader 8 to fill out and save their forms.

Does the Trial version of Adobe FormsCentral allow you to create Fillable forms

I just downloaded the trial version of Adobe XI Pro. I wanted to create fillable forms that I can save, or use online for people to submit but the option to create those types of forms are GRAYED out. Does that mean that the full version would allow me to do this but this feature is not allowed on the Trial version?
please email your responses to [email protected]
Thanks!

Exactly which option is grayed out? In Acrobat 11, it will either direct you to create "From Scratch or Template" or "From Existing Document". The first option will cause the FormsCentral app to launch (if it's installed) and the other will direct you to create/edit and AcroForm in Acrobat. You can also simply open a PDF in Acrobat and select "Tools > Forms > Edit" to go into form editing mode where you can add/edit fields.

Is it possible to have copy to clipboard take entries in text boxes on a fillable form as well as the form fields Windows?

Is it possible to have copy to clipboard take entries in text boxes on a fillable form as well as the form fields in Adobe Reader Windows? When I create the forms is there some javascript or possibly a setting that would allow the end user to copy to clipboard the form fields and their entered text. Or another option that would work is to have only the entries in the text boxes copy to clipboard. Is that even possible?

Copying fields is not possible in Reader.

Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache of sent text?

Fire Fox sent not all the data in text form. Reached only piece of information. Where can I find the cache sent the text?
For example, I posted an article on a news site, but found that only a small part of my article was posted.

I'm not sure whether Firefox saved that information. There is a chance that it is in the session history file, especially if you haven't closed that tab yet. To check that:
Open your currently active Firefox settings folder (AKA your Firefox profile folder) using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Find all files starting with the name sessionstore and copy them to a safe working location (e.g., your documents folder). In order to read a .js file, it is useful to rename it to a .txt file. Or you could drag it to Wordpad or your favorite word processing software.
The script will look somewhat like gibberish, but if you search for a word in your article that doesn't normally appear in web pages, you may be able to find your data.
Any luck?
For the future, you might want to consider this add-on, although I don't know how long it saves data after you submit a form: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/].

Hi,
In this scenario, you can share the document with the clients to and provide co-author privileges.
Co-authors can edit the form design, options, responses, and summary report (everything that you can do).
Note:- They do not require a paid subscription to view the responses, free subscription users can become co-authors.
Please refer to the following thread to know how to share a form with others:-How do I share a form I created with others?

Form not committing the data

I'm a newbie in Apex development.
We are working in Apex 4.0.
I have created a form on a table with report.
Form updates work fine with automated row processing(DML) but when I replace
this process with a PL/SQL process (calling our internal procedures to handle the
journalling, replication etc.) then form does not commit the new field values.
My Pl/SQL block is something like this
DECLARE
v_rec_sid NUMBER := 0;
v_sqlcode NUMBER := 0;
v_sqlerrm VARCHAR2(132) := NULL;
BEGIN
v_rec_sid := :P11_REC_SID;
P_TABLE
, IO_REC_SID => v_rec_sid
, O_SQLCODE => v_sqlcode
, O_SQLERRM => v_sqlerrm
, I_FORENAME => :P11_FORENAME
, I_LOGIN_ID => :P11_LOGIN_ID
, I_MIDDLE_NAMES => :P11_MIDDLE_NAMES
, I_SURNAME => :P11_SURNAME
, I_TITLE => :P11_TITLE
-- Report any problem
IF v_sqlcode <> 0 THEN
htp.p('PV - ' || to_char(v_sqlcode)||': '||substr(v_sqlerrm,1,80));
END IF;
:P11_REC_SID := v_rec_sid;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
htp.p('Error - ' || TO_CHAR(SQLCODE)||': '||substr(SQLERRM,1,80));
htp.nl;
END;
This process is 'On Submit-After Computations and Validations' and while running the form
it shows the Process Success Message but when it goes back to report page it shows that it
has not updated the data.
When I compared the session state between automated row processing and my process the difference
is that the status of all page parameters (except the primary key which shows the actual value)
is 'blank' for automated row processing and 'Reset to Null' for my process.
When I print the page parameters value (after header section) it shows the value in all parameters.
I have tried using the COMMIT inside my pl/sql block but it does not make any difference.
What am I missing.
Thanks
Dino

You need to run a trace for this user to diagnose this issue. Look at note 133055.1 for more details.

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

How can I create a form for users wherein the text field will expand to accommodate additional text?

You need to use LiveCycle (PC Only) to create a dynamic form like that.
The best you can do with Acrobat to view all of the text in a field is to set the field to multiline, and set the size to "Auto" (If you don't set the size to 'Auto', you can enter as much text as you wish, but the user will need to use the scrollbar to view all of the text.)

My newly created fillable form is not saving the data input by applicant
