Need to limit save options - Acrobat 8

Here's my problem:
I have a PDF form that needs to be accessible via shared network locally to a small group of users. This PDF has Reader Usage Rights enabled, so the users can fill in form data and save. What I'd like to do is set the PDF so they can't just Crtl+S or File>Save, but must save a copy of the PDF, in order to eliminate the possibility that they will overwrite the form with their entered data.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

Write protect the form on the file system.

  • How to disable save option from adobe toolbar in Acrobat Reader

    Is it possible to disable Save ( Floppy Disk) icon?
    We have disabled printing and copying.
    Please help

    You are, I'm afraid, chasing an impossible security that cannot exist. Many have sought this, but it just isn't there -- and there is so much more than the save button involved.
    If you are a big enterprise with sensitive information consider DRM solutions ($$$$+).

  • I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

       I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?

    You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

  • Save option disabled in Reader 7 when another user works on the same PDF

    Hi, I'm a first time user of Acrobat Pro 8.1 and 9. I'm creating PDF forms. When I open the forms in Reader 7 and work on them, I can directly save it, I do not have to do 'Save as'. However, when I copy this document on another machine, open it in Reader 7 and make changes, the 'save' option is disabled, whereas, I can do a 'Save as'.
    My client does not want to do a "Save as'. They want to modify the original document and just click 'save'.
    I would like to know if this is an internal feature of Reader 7. Please provide a solution, if any
    P.S: I'm enabling usage rights in Acrobat Professional, still the Save option is not available in machines which don't have Acrobat Professional.

    The document can be copied on another machine in two ways:
    1. The document can be sent by mail and copied to the recipients local drive.
    2. It can be placed on a share drive and copied on another machine.
    I am enabling rights through Advanced> Enable usage rights in Acrobat Professional 8.1. Do I need the Adobe Livecycle Reader extension software as well to enable local save in Reader 7?
    Please provide me a solution.

  • Printing BI Publisher report from OAF Page WITHOUT Preview or Save Option

    I have a requirement to print a BI Publisher Report on the invoke of a Button from a OAF Page. I have followed the method suggested in the below link to integrate OAF and BI Publisher.-
    http://apps2fusion.com/at/51-ps/260-integrating-xml-publisher-and-oa-framework
    In this scenario, I already developed Data Definition (XML) and Template (RTF) for the report and a self service page with 'Generate PDF' button. When the button is clicked the template is getting filled with the data from the database and displaying the PDF output. A dialog box with 'Open/Save/Cancel' appears before the PDF document is shown.
    But my requirement is to avoid this dialog box and Save option so when the button is clicked the document has to be directly sent to the printer.
    Is there anyway to achieve this? Please help as this is very urgent..
    Thanks,
    Naren

    Naveen,
    You need to read the documentation here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/documentation/xmlpdocs-084437.html
    All of the information you need is in these:
    Administration and Developer's Guide
    Report Designer's Guide
    JavaDocs
    With the BI publisher (XML publisher) Java APIs, you can call a data template with parameters and get the XML from that.
    For an example that should be very close to what you need to do, see the comments section of this page:
    http://apps2fusion.com/at/ps/294-bi-publisher-document-viewer-common-region-embeded-report-output-in-oa-framework-page-part-2
    Find the comment titled: "Alternative: BlobDomain from data template"
    The great thing about using a Data Template is that, while you are NOT concurrent program dependent, you can still set up a concurrent program to run it for other purposes if you wish. Data Templates offer a lot more flexibility.

  • Getting prompted to Save As when using Save option

    We would like to deploy Reader XI with Protected Mode enabled. We have noticed that when using the Save option the user receives a prompt to Save As instead. I understand this is a security feature to basically grant Reader/Acrobat permission to save to this location.
    Issue is that we have in house software that opens the PDF using Reader allowing the user to make markups and then save, but if the user saves the file to a different location this will cause the in house software to fail. Older version of Reader with Protected Mode disabled allows just the save to be used and the original file location to be preserved.
    Is there anyway to white list this Directory so that Reader can save to it without a Save As prompt?
    Only fix I know of currently is to disable Protected Mode but we would like to avoid that if possible
    Thanks

    There is a notation in the documentation that may be relevant.
    "Permissions granted by other features often overlap. For example, cross domain policies, internet access settings in Trust Manager, and certificate trust settings for certified documents sometimes interact so that the most permissive setting takes precedence. Users should TEST THEIR CONFIGURATION prior to deployment."
    Have you checked the possible overlapping features?

  • File Adapter -- Need to limit the number of files picked up

    One of my trading partners sends a .zip file.  The zip file contains check images and an index file.  The Index File is the same name every time.
    So, if the trading partner sends two zip files, we will lose the index file.  We need to limit the contents to a single file at a time.
    Secondarily, the file adapter also runs at a specific interval...evey X seconds.  Is there a method to "fire" the FTP channel at a specific time?  Say for example at 6:30am every day?

    Hi,
    To handle ur first requirement, you can use the OS Commands option in the file adapter. (you have to play around with the options like archiving etc )

  • HOW TO DISABLE THE SAVEAS OPTION OF A BROWSER?

    Hi all,
    Nice to be back again folks.....
    Well I need to develop an Applet (perhaps even a swing) which when loaded by any browser would disable the SaveAs option of the browser's File menu.
    I tried using the Frame class of java.awt package, the code is:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.applet.*;
    public class WinAppl extends Applet
    int mc;
    String str="NO OF MENUS: ";
    Font fnt=new Font("Arial",Font.BOLD,12);
    MenuBar mb;
    Frame frame=new Frame("SNODX");
    Window window;
    public void init()
    frame.setBackground(Color.red);
    frame.setForeground(Color.black);
    this.setFont(fnt);
    mb=frame.getMenuBar();
    if(mb!=null)
    mc=mb.getMenuCount();
    str+=mc;
    else
    str+="ZERO";
    public void paint(Graphics g)
    g.drawString(str,50,50);
    but when this applet is loaded ALL the menus of the browser disappear .i.e when this frame applet is loaded by the browser only the title bar of the browser and a red colored window appear, no menus. I dont want all the menus to be hidden, just the SaveAs option of Browser's File Menu to be disabled.
    Thanks in advance.
    True to my nature I am posting this question in some of the other Java forums as well. And as usual sorry for the multiple postings.
    snodx

    Applets usually have absolutely no control over the browser they are running in (with the exception of loading other web pages and other very high level stuff). You won't be able to write an applet that disables entries in the menu bar. And even if you could it wouldn't really help you because most browsers write everything they download to disc (to the cache) where it can be recovered by anybode.
    Last but not least: there are lots of tools for mirroring web sites that will allow users to download and save anything that is accessible for browsers.
    However, you may be able to disable the menu bar and perhaps even change entries in some browsers like ie by activeX controls or javascript. Still this is not a very friendly way for a website to behave...

  • Save option enabling  in spool created from sap script.

    Hi,
    I got a requirement where in the output letter created using sap script, needs to be saved on local desktop. when the form is displayed from sp02 the save button is greyed out and also the path system->list->save option is also disabled.
    in foreground when we preview the form, there too the save options are not working.
    is there any option to enable the saving of form / letter on local machine.
    awaiting your response....
    thanxs

    Spool generated from SAPScript output can be converted to PDF on local/desktop using program RSTXPDFT4.
