Older forms not editable in Adobe X

We currently have Adobe Acrobat Pro X installed on a Windows 7 computer.  Forms created in an older version of Adobe (exact version unknown) will not allow a copy to be made so the form can be edited. It doesn’t allow us to actually “Save a Copy”.  It wants to replace the existing file only. 
However once a copy is saved via "save as", the same message comes up so the form is not editable.  This does not happen in forms created with LifeCycle.

It's more of a process than an error.  When the user tries to edit the form she gets the above message.  Then when she does to "Save a Copy" it will only save with the existing file name, won't let us specify another.  At this point the process starts all over.
If we do a "Save As" we can make copies of the form until the cows come home, but trying to edit will still start the above process.
Thanks!

  • Error : Form not editable

    Hi All,
    we have generated an add-on which insert value to the transcation 4m user form. while doing so....
    i am receving an error -
    Form Not Editable.
    Pls try to solve it.
    Regards,
    Avijit

    Hi Avijit,
         The reason for the error might be that the field type is not editable, this can be achieved by selecting form settings > Table format>Active for the corresponding field.
    The other reason might be that the character length that you have defined might have exceeded the target field.
    Hope this might solve the problem.

    Hi Satheesh,
    1. Check the Adobe form Version (from 7.1 to 8)
    2. Installed Adobe form Extended Language Support Font Pack to Adobe ,if you are using some other   language in Adobe form
    3. Check the ADS Version.

  • Adobe forms not editable

    Hi,
    After a system copy, we can't make any changes in pdfs with adobe. We download the pdf from the system but the interactive fields are deactivate. However in the production system and test system it works properly.
    Any ideas about this matter?.
    Regards.

    Hi Maimino,
    Check in Tx SM59 -> HTTP connections.
    Ensure that host name and port are correctly defined.
    Then on JAVA host where ADS is pointed to ensure license is installed for interactive adobe forms.
    Hope this helps.

  • PDF form not editable

    Hi,
    I have created a form with an input element and bound the same to a context attribute. I have embedded the Interactive form in my view and set it to enabled.
    When I run the WebDynPro application, the PDF gets displayed, but I am not able to enter any data/edit into the input field of the PDF form. I am not able to click on the submit button that I have in the form.
    I have Active Component Framework and Adobe Lifecycle Designer installed in my system. Can you help me out?
    regards,
    Praveen Kumar

    Hi,
      Please add the following code in the WDdoModifyView method to make the form editable.
    data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
    check first_time = abap_true.
    LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(‘INTERACTIVE_FORM_1’).
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
    LR_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( abap_true ).
    This makes the  form interactive in case you are using forms with Function module-based interface.

  • Cbih82 "Accident details" - How to make older entries not editable

    Hello Experts,
    Is there a way in CBIH82 to set the "Accident details" long text field (under involved tab) in order that older entries cannot be modified?
    What I'd like would be like in maintenance notifications. No Changes to Existing Long Text.
    When someone add characters to the long text field, system automatically add a log line (a timestamp containing user + date + hour) before text and make the text unchangeable by anyone after saving. However, the long text can be supplemented, the older entries would be greyed out.
    Is there a key in IMG or any other way to make the system behave that way? I want to prevent people erasing previous text enterred in that field.
    Thanks,
    Francois

    Hi Francois,
    This seems to be a genuine requirement, and even more when it can be seen available in the case of maintainance notifications. But, unfortunately this functionality is not available for "Accident details" long text.
    The most you may do as an alternative is to utilize "Documents" functionality. The documents uploaded in this tab has inherent SAP DMS benefits, whereby you can track changes made to a particular DIR (administrative details). You may also make the documents password-protected for unintended access, However, you can not make older entries grayed out obviously.

  • Adobe form not working Editable

    Hi Experts,
    I have adobe interactive ( editable form Including dropdown/ Text box/ Check box) form, which will send to user to fill the data & submit by to return email id. the form is editable but today onwards i couldnt able to change the values in form (not editable). Any idea.
    ABAP, SFP transaction.

    Pl help
    Regards
    Kishore

    HI Kishore,
    Do one thing,first check type of the layout(ZCI or Standard).Use ZCI layout.
    and By default the interactive forms when created have properties of Static PDF.
    We need to change the properties for the UI elements to be editable.
    In File-->Form Properties --> defaults tab set the PDf render format As dynamic XML.
    Also in file>form properties>preview set the preview type to Interactive form & preview adobe xml form as: dynamic xml form.
    Thanks,
    Madhukar.

  • Create text editable PDF for client to edit in Adobe Reader

    I would like to create a PDF from either Illustrator or InDesign so that my client can edit just the text in the document using Adobe Reader as necessary (for flyers and business cards etc). I want to set the file up in Illustrator or InDesign so all text is laid out properly where I have the proper tools to do so, rather than using the Acrobat form tool and guessing measurement/layout etc. I have tried exporting to PDF from both programs and then using Acrobat Pro's form feature but it won't recognise any of the fields. I am using CS4 and Acrobat Pro 9 and am unsure if my software is too old to complete these tasks or if I am doing it incorrectly. I have seen it done in plenty of places so I know it is possible, I'm just not sure how.
    Here are some links showing examples of what I am trying to do:
    Using an e.m.papers Wedding Invitation Template.mp4 - YouTube
    How to use an e.m.papers printable RSVP template.mp4 - YouTube
    So, basically any advice on the following would be greatly appreciated:
    How do I make text editable in Adobe Reader (from an Illustrator or InDesign file)?
    How can I easily put the same design onto the same page (eg 8 business cards on an A4 page with crop marks) multiple times so that if I need to change the design slightly, it will change the design on all of them?
    How can I make the PDF like it is in the YouTube videos, so that when you edit one "product/design", it will edit all on the page?
    Or, how can I create a file of multiple business cards on the one page where they can have a different employees details on each card?
    This is my first time using this forum so if you require any further information, please let me know. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

  • Adobe Interactive Form text field not editable

    Hello,
    I created an Adobe Form using transaction SFP and placed a textfield on the body page.
    I then created a Web Dynpro application using SE80, placed Interactive Form container on the view. I also checked the flag 'Enabled' and provided the templateSource as my Adobe Form name.
    When I test the WD application, the text field is not editable.
    Can you please advise what needs to be done?
    Thanks

  • After creating a form, how do I download it for further editing with Adobe Professional XI?

    After creating a form, how do I download it for further editing with Adobe Professional XI?

    This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
    But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
    *My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

  • Adobe Form not so interactive

    Hi,
    I'm working to implement an offline interactive form scenario on CRM 2007. I've created a new Template of type Adobe XML Form File, using the CRM Document Template Designer under CRM UI->Sales Operations. Then created a Web Service using the Web Service Tool, at the same screen, using the wizard.
    Then clicked Start Designer and designed the layout using LiveCycle designer. I created 2 data connections. 1 for read and 1 for change. I dragged the fields and exported the file. 
    Finally, I created an appointment on the Calendar, and added this new template to the attachments. This created a PDF attachment with all the fields dynamically filled in correctly from the appointment data using the webservice.
    However, this PDF is not interactive. The button is not clickable. The text boxes are not editable. The form looks like a PDF document but not interactive.
    Am I missing anything here?
    I am not using SFP to create a form. I'm using CRM UI's Document Template tool.
    I am not using SE80 to create the webservice. I'm using CRM UI's Web Service tool.
    I confirm the Adobe Credentials are installed and I've tested interactive form functionality on this system by running SE38 then FP_TEST_IA_01 program, I get an interactive form properly.

    Hi Juergen,
    Right on the spot really. I've come into the following code in class CL_CRM_OI_ADS, method CALL_ADS. I repaired 1 line as below and now all forms are interactive!
    This is around line 47.
    *         set template
    *{   REPLACE        CR5K900218                                        1
    *\      lr_pdfobj->set_template( xftdata = x_template ).
          lr_pdfobj->set_template( xftdata = x_template fillable = 'X' ).
    *}   REPLACE

    Hi,
    As per your code, you are seletcing data from BSEG table as 'SELECT * FROM BSEG'.
    BSEG is a cluster table. Its better to use only selected field from this table during select query.
    Other than this run your program in SE30 and check analysis for the queries taking more time.
    Better to modify them, tune them and re transport the program in production.

  • Acrobat Pro: Create PDF Form Export so it's not editable User fills out and info is emailed back to me

    I have zero experience with PDF forms. A client needs to have the email addresses changed in an older PDF form, so I've opened it in Acrobat Pro, changed the existing email addresses and am now stuck. How do I save it so it's not editable by the end-user? Everything I've tried (Distribution via email, flattening, security) have not worked; either the form fields get stripped out or I receive nothing via email and I can still open the distributed form and edit the fields.
    I need it so the end-user will view the form in their browser
    Fill out the fields
    Click submit and the info is sent back to me via email.
    If they download the PDF they can NOT edit it.
    Thanks!
    Tim

    Open the PDF and do the following:  File> Save As> Reader Extended PDF> Enable Additional Features
