Need HP Line printer Font 16.67/8.5 Roman-8 for Windows font.

I am looking for a font that is currently in my HP 4Si Printer, PCL Font Source I, Font Number 50, sym Set Roman-8. The PCL Typeface List names the font as Line Printer, Scale 16.67/8.5, Font # 50. I am trying to print my forms to a virtual printer to convert the form into a compressed searchable PDF, but I need the Line Printer font to match my current font being printed through the PCL printer font. I tried several others fonts but the columns get all screwed up because the spacing and size are not the same. I will purchase the font if I could only find where to buy it. Any help will be appreciated. Printer: HP 4Si P/N : C2009A Serial : {Removed for privacy} Thanks, Rob

I have asked the moderators to escalate this issue. Someone should contact you through private messaging for additional information.

Hi, Need help. I am trying to download the latest iTunes for Windows application but on running the program it says that it can not be completed as it can not find the folder location of the file "iTunes.msi" . Any clues would be appreciated

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Printing multiple pages per sheet on Adobe Reader for Windows 8

Need help installing new hard drive and wiping the old one for Windows XP.

I’ve searched to try and figure out the answer to my question and haven’t been too successful, so hopefully someone can help me out. I have a new Mac Pro that I haven’t even turned it on yet because I’m waiting for some upgrades to show up. Here is what I plan to do, I’m unsure of what I need to do and what order to do it in:
It has a stock 250GB hard drive that I plan to wipe and install Windows XP on. I have a new 750GB drive coming that will run Leopard which will be my primary OS. Once I have this set up, I will probably try running VM Fusion which I assume I can install later on. Here are my questions:
When I put my new blank 750GB drive in to install Leopard, will OS X boot up off the Leopard install disc to then allow me to do the install?
When do I wipe the smaller drive to put Windows on it, before or after I’ve installed Leopard on the new drive? How should I wipe it, using the Bootcamp setup assistant or Disc Utility? If I wipe it after installing Leopard, will I be prompted for which drive to boot from?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't use Windows, but I think the proper order to do things would be this:
First, if your Mac Pro came with Tiger installed, when you start it up for the first time, you'll need to go through some initial setup, create an administrator account, etc. You can go ahead and do this.
Afterwards, you can install your 750 GB drive. Next, you can insert your Leopard disk, and go to System Preferences/Startup Disk to choose to start up from the disk. (Alternatively, if you just choose "Install Mac OS X" from the disk, it will instruct you to restart the mac.)
When the mac boots from the disc, install Leopard on your 750. Once you have that done, and have booted from that drive, you'll be able to erase your 250 in Disk Utility, and then install Windows on it.

Change Font size for Line printer when Printing ALV

We are using device type IBM 64xx LP+ emulation 1.00A to print to an IBM line printer.
I would like to change the font size of an ALV report I am sending to the device.
Can the font size be set in the Printer Initialization section of the Format?
Ex. I am using X_65_255
What/Where can I add the font size
Set to P-Series Emulation (SSCC P 0)
\0x1b\0x7c\0x7d\0x3b\0x50\0x30
Emulation Reset                               (SFCC @)
\0x01\0x40
Character Set = IBM PC, ASCII, IBM PC(0850)   (SFCC l 0 0 1)
\0x01\0x6c\0x30\0x30\0x31
Print Mode/Pitch Selection = DP Quality, 20 cpi
\0x01\0x7c\0x7d;Sxxxxx;0;0;xxx;0024;0048
Line Spacing = 6 lpi                          (SFCC 2)
\0x01\0x32
Forms Length Set = 66 lines                   (SFCC LINES;66 <CR><LF>)
\0x01LINES;66\0x0d\0x0a
Thanks,
Mike

You will find the P-series emulation here: [LinePrinter Plus programmer's reference manual|http://www.printronix.com/WorkArea/downloadasset.aspx?id=4546] (printronix doc)
You don't have many options with P-series. Maybe it's better to choose another emulation, and get the IBM 64xx programmer's guide.

Need to increase the font size of SAP printer

Hi all,
We had some new HP printers HP4015 which needs to print from SAP . we created the new device type ZHPLJCM1 after checking correct device type for it from HP printer site. For some users printouts are coming in small fonts ,they wanted it to print in big fonts .
These are some of the t codes that they use KAH3 , FB03 , Y_DEV_39000067.
we tried to change the printer fonts in SE73 of that particular device type and increased the font size , but that also ended in vain.
Kindly suggest possible ways by which we can solve this issue.
Please let me know if more information are needed.

Hi,
Is this ABAP lists, sapcript or smartforms? For sapscript or smartforms, you need to specify the font size in the paragraph/character formats for sapscript and in the smartstyle for smartforms.
For ABAP lists, the font size is selected based on the format used. e.g. If you create a list with format X_65_255, it should print in landscape and the font size is calculated based on the size needed to fit 255 characters into a page. If the format is X_65_132, then the font size is calculated based on the size needed to fit 132 characters into a page so it is a bit larger.

Aidan

I need the Line Per Inch # for an HP3052A printer/scanner.

Hey guys,
I am working on some photo, enlargements and other tasks. I am working through some manuals for the software I am using and I need the lines per Inch value for this printer. Unfortunatley for me, I cannot find it on their site, specifications or through PM tech support. I figured one of you experts, may have the actual value or a working value.
I hope I am explaining what I am looking for.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.

I am including a link so you can download the drivers for your printer. The next step would be to select type of operating system you are using. For illustration purpose i choose windows 7 64 bit. Then select driver i recommend using the full feature download.
Let me know if this helps.

Later jet m1212 nf mfp need to move the font down a little to print on premium forms

I am using pre printed forms and need to re-aling the print (font) down to match the form
Thanks

Then use the features within whatever application (e.g. Word) you are using to set a different top margin value for the document.

Smartform-PDF-Printer fonts

Hi Folks,
Here we have designed a Invoice-smartform and converted it into PDF which is by default storing in c-drive as mentioned in the code.When we open the Pdf it is displaying it fine but when given a printout except the logo nothing is getting printed,I mean it is showing all junk characters.May I know what is the problem and how to rectify the same.
Points will be given.
K.Kiran.

Hi Kiran, see the OSS notes: 960341 and 776507.
I downloaded and copying here, Hope this will be helpful
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Which fonts are suitable for a given language?

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA

SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

Small window changes in line printer

We are using a line printer EPSON FX-980. We are using sapscripts to print.
We are printing in a not so flexible format. We have the formats already pre-printed and we need to make small changes to adjust the output.
Almost everything is alright, except some variables that cross some pre-printed lines.
We only need to move a window aprox. 1mm down to adjust the exit.
However, when we try to make small changes, the windows jumps a whole line, not like laser printer that adjust to fractions.
For example, my problematic windows is in 28 ln. No matter if I change it to 28,01 or 28,5, the widow jumps to 29ln.
I tough it was the printer couldn't print small details, but I drew several lines with small spaces between in ms paint and it prints them fine. So I'm guessing is the driver.
I already used the two drivers for line printers, also changed the device type line lenght and nothing has been resolved.
Is there a way to do this?

hi,
Modifying the SWIN (SAPWIN) Device Type
The SWIN device type allows you to use any printer or fax that the Microsoft Windows Print Manager can use, regardless of whether the SAP R/3 System has a device type for the corresponding device. In this case, it is actually the Microsoft Windows Print Manager and Windows driver that format a document and make an output-ready data stream out of it.
Modifying SWIN is a little different than working on other device types because SWIN does not deliver an output-ready data stream. Rather, it converts the internal SAP R/3 document format into a special SAP R/3 formatting language. The SAPSprint service understands this formatting language. SAPSprint, in turn, converts the SAP R/3 formatting commands into Microsoft Windows GDI commands, which the Print Manager and the Microsoft Windows device driver can use for preparing print-ready output data.
The upshot: rather than modifying printer commands in actions and print controls, in SWIN you need to work with SAP R/3 formatting commands. The SWIN formatting language is documented in this section.
SWIN Device Format Actions
With SAPscript formats, SWIN does not use the Printer initialization or Reset actions. Enter a comment line -- # Not used -- in these two actions in the SAPscript device formats in your copy of SWIN. This ensures that the actions will be ignored when they are called during output. SWIN list formats do use the Printer initialization and Reset actions.
In your copy of SWIN, insert commands only in the device type format actions that the SAP R/3 standard device type SWIN uses.
Frequently Made Changes to SWIN
●      Adjusting the position of output on the paper.
In a SAPscript form definition, positioning information refers to the absolute dimensions of the paper to be used for outputting the form. However, the position information in SAPscript forms is added to the coordinates system of the target output device during execution to determine where the form objects are to appear on the output page.
Since output devices use different origins for their coordinate systems, this means that SAPscript and the spool system must offer a way to adjust form positionings to reflect the coordinate system used by an output device.
You can adapt your forms to the differing coordinate systems of output devices in the device definition, where individual printers and fax machines are made known to the SAP R/3 spool system.
Set the fields: Choose Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Spool Administration, change the corresponding output device, and switch to the Output Attributes tab page. There, you can set the horizontal positioning in Horizontal move, the vertical positioning in Vertical shift. Positive values (> 0) move the output down or to the right. Negative values in the format xxx move the output up or to the left. No decimal values are permitted. For fine positioning, use MM (millimeters) or PT (points, 10 points / inch).
If a window in a form definition is to appear 1 cm from the left edge of the paper, the window will actually be printed 1.5 cm from the left edge of the paper on a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printer. The LaserJet starts its X-axis coordinate system 0.5 centimeter from the left edge of the paper. On a PostScript printer, on the other hand, the window will start 1 cm from the left edge of the paper, because PostScript uses the physical boundaries of the paper for its coordinate system.
You can adjust the positioning of the output on the HPLJ4 (LaserJet) printer by entering -5 MM in the Horizontal move field in the second screen of the device definition of each HPLJ4 printer.
●      Setting Basic List Print Properties: Character pitch, line leading, type size.
To make these adjustments, you need to change the Printer initialization action in the X_ formats in your copy of the SWIN device type.
There, you can adjust the character pitch (character spacing), leading (line spacing), and type size with the following commands:
Property
SWIN Formatting Command to Use
Character pitch
ec is the type size in twips (20 twips = 1 point).
For example: eS200X sets the type size to 10 points (200 twips / 20 = 10 points).
The SWIN data stream protocol is an internal SAP R/3 format that may change without prior notice. SAP intends to make only upwardly compatible changes to the SWIN protocol. That means that you should always be able to use the newest version of SAPSPrint, even if you have not upgraded your SAP R/3 System itself.
SAP guarantees, however, only that the SWIN device type will function correctly with the development level of the SAPSPrint transfer program that is specified for a particular SAP R/3 Release.
SAP Printing Guide (BC-CCM-PRN)
Implementation considerations
The SAP Printing Guide describes the functions of the SAP Spool System. This system was designed to be used on various platforms. SAP provides its own spool service and a spool database so that users do not have to deal with operating system-specific issues.
The platform-independent SAP spool system is responsible for the output of forms and documents. The data to be printed is first temporarily stored (spooled), then formatted, and finally transferred to a host spool system to be output. You can control all of your output from the SAP System and do not need to arrange further processing in the host spool system.
The following are among the main tasks of the SAP spool system:
·        Processing and managing print requests
·        Administering output devices
·        Technical mapping of the output devices in the SAP System
Features
Among other things, the SAP Printing Guide describes the following:
·        Print Process in General
An introduction for users and administrators, in which the print process from document to printout is explained in general.
The focus of the introductory sections is the Output Controller (transaction SP01), which can be used by both administrators and users to manage print requests.
·        Spool Access Authorizations
This sections and its subsections describe the access authorizations required specifically for the spool system.
·        Possible Print Architecture and Print Methods
The various print architectures are described in this section and its subsections, that is, the different constellations of hardware and software components with the corresponding access methods: Each architecture also requires a specific print method, such as:
·         Local printing: The spool server (application server with a spool work process) and host spool system (operating system spooler) are on the same host.
·         Remote printing: The spool server and the host spool system are on different hosts.
·         Frontend printing: Print data are to be printed on the default printer of the users PC.
·         Printing using SAP GUI for HTML
·        Output Devices in the SAP Spool System
Output devices must be defined in the SAP System so that they can be addressed from the SAP System.
You do this using device definitions with which the devices are managed in the SAP System.
This link takes you to a description of these device definitions and their printer settings.
·        Spool Server
This section explains what a spool server is, how you define it, and what using logical servers and alternative servers involves.
·        Device Types for SAP Output Devices
Device types are explained in this section. A device type in the SAP system is the category of printer to be addressed. The information in the device type, such as font selection, page size, and character set selection is used to convert a document from the internal SAP format to a device-specific, printable data stream.
·        Connecting to an External Output Management System (OMS)
This section explains how you can connect the SAP spool system to an external Output Management System.
·        Maintaining the Spool Database
This link takes you to a section explaining how you maintain your spool database to ensure optimal performance.
·        TemSe Database Storage
This section and its subsections explain what TemSe is and how you can manage TemSe objects.
·        Analyzing Printing Problems
This link takes you to examples that will provide you with support in identifying and correcting errors
Printing from the SAP System
Features
Using the SAP output system, you can output many types of documents on output devices such as printers or fax machines: purchase orders, invoices, delivery note, payroll documents, e-mails, report lists, and so on.
Process Flow
Unlike most other programs, which forward print requests directly to the printer, the SAP System temporarily stores the print data. If you want to print data in an SAP System (online or in the background) and choose a print function, such as , the SAP output system creates two types of print requests:
       1.      a spool request, which temporarily stores the data to be printed in the system
       2.      an output request, which sends the data to the desired output device
If you want your document to be printed immediately on your printer without temporary storage, you must have made a setting in the print window for immediate output. In this case, the spool request and output request are generated immediately, and the data is printed.
If you want to temporarily store the data, do not choose print out immediately. You can display the temporarily stored print request (spool request) in the output controller and/or print it at a later time

How to print a crystal report in Tally MT691 line printer?

I have recently developed a crystal report with version 8.5 in windows-based operation system (windows xp). My client today told me that the report has to be able to print to a network printer - line printer (Tally MT691); otherwise, the crystal report I developed becomes useless. I have no experiences with line printer. Could you please give me some instructions on how to make it happen?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Hi
Unfortunatelly you need to worry about the printer, please don't consider the last replies.
As far I can see this model is a dot matrix printer, only the following models are supported for SAP B1:
For 2005A those are the supported models:
- Citizen PROdot 300
- Epson FX-880
- OKI MICROLINE 320 Elite
- Epson FX-890
For the 2007
- Citizen PROdot 300
- Epson FX-880
- OKI MICROLINE 320 Elite
Please note that some workaround can be found to use different printer but only the mentioned devices are supported. Those workarounds may work in one patch but may stop to work after patch or version upgrade.
Also a multipurpose (combine fax, printer, scanner) devices are also note supported (SAP Note 925841).

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.

We are trying to implement a process so that any document that needs to be printed through our Java application will be printed as PDF using Adobe Reader.
For which, We created and execute the below command line to call Adobe Reader and print the PDF on a printer.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /T "\\<Application Server>\Report\<TEST.PDF>" "<Printer Name>".
Current Situation: The above command line parameter when executed is working as expected in a User's Workspace.
When executed in a command line on the Application Server, it is working as expected.
But, the same is not working while executing it from Deployed environment.
Software being used: 1. Adobe 11.0 enterprise version. 2. Webshpere Application Server 8.5.5.2.
Please let us know if there is a way to enable trace logs in Adobe Reader to further diagnose this issue.

This is the Acrobat.com forum. Your question will have a much better chance being addressed in the Acrobat SDK forum.

PDF form with line printer

Hi,
Is there a way to use PDF form with line printer? how, and the pros & cons. Currently we are using SPF to develop pdf form in sap, however it has limitation to print on line printer that we need to print on 3 ply form. The only option is to convert all PDF form to sap script.
If you have any ideas, please advise. Thanks.

Hi courtneyp58664902,
I would recommend you to follow the steps detailed on the page associated with this link (http://wwwimages.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/acrobat/pdfs/adobe-acrobat-xi-con vert-forms-into-fillable-pdf-c… ).
I would recommend you to Save the pdf with reader rights enabled [ File -> 'Save as other' -> 'Reader extender PDF' -> 'Enable More tools ( includes form fill-in and save)' ].
Please let me know if you face any challenges or need any further assistance.
