PDF form to be saved

Hi all,
I don't know where to put this query, if anybody knows please do reply.
I am working on a project where I need to save data from PDF files. To
save the data, we will be using Acrobat FDFTK. As I know FDFTK supports
only JDK1.1.7 but for our application we are using JDK1.2. Does anybody
have the idea whether JDK1.2 supports FDFTK?
OR
Does anybody know any other vendor who provides the utility to save the
data from PDF forms.
All the suggestions will be appreicatable.

You have to add save rights with Acrobat.
Open you form in Acrobat and then save it via File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.

How do I enable a LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

I have an interactive PDF form that I created in LiveCycle. However, when it is opened with Adobe Reader, the user is unable to save it. They can only print from Reader. How do I enable the LiveCycle PDF form to be saved in Adobe Reader?

I used Preview to fill in a .pdf form. I saved it, re-opened and saw my annotations. When I attached it to an email, the annotation and filled-in materials were no there. What's happening?

Having been gently chided by "How to write a good question," I offer additional information as a preamble to my question.
I am writing about Preview 7.0 (826.4) on Mavericks 10.9.4; my computer is a MacBook Pro, late 2011 model with not modifications.
I used Preview to fill in a .pdf form and saved it. To check, I re-opened the form and saw all the info I had filled in. However, when I attached it to an email, the info was not there; the form contained none of the info I had added. I re-did the form several times, but the results were the same when I attached it to email. What's going on?
Here's a secondary matter. When I filled in the form, the print was red and the type too large. Though I went into fonts, etc. and selected a type size and color black, the info I added was still red and the wrong size. Again, how do I manage color, size, and font?

Form document will automatically be saved after closing the file. As far as cloud message is concerned, it seems your Mobile link setting has been turned on. When you pressed device back button after filling the form, it was saved to your Acrobat.com account. You can access this document by going to Acrobat.com tab present in left pane. Its a cloud storage area where you can upload/save any document.
Thanks,

PDF form only allow saving as a copy

Hi,
Have an Adobe PDF form in Adobe Reader X that only allows you to save a copy of the form when data is entered into the fields. Every time I make any changes to the form fields and hit the save button it is asking me to save under a new name. I would prefer that the data be saved to the original form. I have other forms that allow saves directly to it but can’t figure out the reason or differences. Is there something in Adobe Reader X or Adobe Pro X that will allow me save directly to the form?

I know it will require that when you try to edit a form in Acrobat, but once it's saved it shouldn't. Hopefully one of the "gurus" will have more insight. I'm just an avid user (and tinkerer) myself.

Checkmarks in PDF forms not being saved

Hi,
I have a PDF form that I have filled out in Preview. Regardless of whether I "save" the filled in form (Cmd + S) or simply close it, the next time I open it the checkmarks in the fields that just require a click to produce checkmarks are missing. This has not always been a problem. I can restore a version in which the checkmarks are present, but when I close the restored document then reopen it, the checkmarks are missing. What this means is, at some point in the past, the checkmarks were saved, but now they're no longer being saved.
This is extremely frustrating, as it has been a problem off and on with Preview in Lion. Does anybody have a fix for this? No, printing to PDF is not an option, as then the form can no longer be filled in comfortably.
Regards,
Richard

Can live cycle create a PDF form that is saved on a desktop and filled out simply to be attached to

I'm new to using LiveCycle to create PDF forms. I have a simple "Request for Quote" form that simply needs to be filled out in Acrobate Reader and then attached to a new Email message that goes to our quoting people.
right now when the form is opened by the users in READER it shows the message PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING FORM. YOU CANNOT SAVE DATA TYPED INTO THE FORM. PLEASE PRINT YOUR COMPLETED FORM IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS.
Years ago i remember having a simple form that you could just send out have a user fill in the boxes and then just email it back filled in. I love the layout options that LiveCycle gives but i'm having a hard time with a simple "fill this out and email it back" option.
I've been hunting around in LiveCycle for an option that would allow this but i must keep missing it.
any help or ideas??

You are doing exactly what I am as well, and creating a savable form. Although it is a slight process, it is very do-able.
1. First create your form in LiveCycle. Once finshed, save it and close down LiveCycle. (e.g. you should have "Document1.pdf")
2. Open your new PDF with Acrobat Professional. Make sure you see the fields, and then add Usage Rights to the document (Advanced - Enable Usage Rights In Acrobat Reader).
3. It will ask you to save it, so save it as something else. (e.g. now you save it as "Document1A.pdf")
4. Then the KEY is to chose File - Save As and save it one last time as another name. (e.g. "Document1Final.pdf")
5. Close Acrobat Professional and open your final file ("Document1Final.pdf") with Acrobat Reader. You should be able to fill out and save the PDF, so it can be emailed back as a filled-in document. At this point you can make a copy of it and name it whatever you would like the customers to see ("BobsRequestForQuote.pdf")
Remember not to save over your final document (or you will have to recreate it), but keep it in a safe place for sending out to customers. Sure beats handwritten forms sometimes!

How to automatically saved a pdf form into a network folder using a submit button

Good evening to everyone,
I'm more than a beginner on adobe development reason why I would like to apologize first if my questions are dumbs. :-(
I would like to know if 'Adobe 9 Professional Extended' has the possibility to put some code into a submit button in order for the pdf form to be saved with a unique name and into a Network folder located into an Encryption Server where we handle our PII. Is it? Over the past two weeks I've been digging into the documentation but I'm unable to find something that will help me to accomplish our headquarters requirements.
If there is no possibility, is there any programming language that adobe accepts in order to configure a piece of code that will store the file into a network folder? Perhaps VB or C-SHARP?
Whatever feedback anyone can give, I deeply appreciate it.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Mr. Chaney!
I do have more questions based on your recomendation.
From my understanding, JavaScript or FormCalc will be my only options, right? If that's the case, how can a scripting language (client server side) allow me to transfer automatic saved files into a Network folder within my company intranet? I downloaded the Scripting Basic manual and all the scenarios and code are client server side such as, changing background color, add effects to a button and so on.
I did find a command under FormCalc called "PUT" can I use this command to transfer a pdf file into a Virtual Directory folder? All the examples I saw were for XML files.
Greetings,

Trying to create a customized PDF form to save and re-use

Hi,
New to this program. I have created a "fill-in-the-blanks" PDF form and have saved it. But now when I print the form, there are characters in the beginning of the text boxes. They are T and E. I don't understand why she characters are there and how do I get rid of them. We want this form to fill in the blanks format, then we want to be able to save it, and go on to the next one. In other words we will be re-using this format over and over again. Can someone help me? I am frustrated as I am almost there. Plus I downloaded a 30 day trial of Adobe Pro 9 to see if I could do this.....so I don't know if I will need to buy this program or not. Thanks.

I don't want to post this form. I've attached it here for you to look at. I think I created it using forms.

Making an editable PDF Form non-editable (a shortcut)

How to make a PDF form non-editable or locked.
For those who aren't script-savvy, I believe this may be a little shortcut to editing a PDF form and then saving and sending it as a non-editable or locked PDF.
This is what I have written out for my client, whom I provided an editable PDF Form, so they could edit the PDF and then send it out to their own respective clients as a NON-editable PDF.
Instructions as follows:
How to save your PDF Form into a separate non-editable PDF to send to your client: (Using Adobe Acrobat Professional)
Step 1. Fill out the original PDF Form
Step 2. Once finished, go to “File” menu and click “Save a Copy” - title the file appropriately and save it to the desktop.
Step 3. Close the editable PDF document and do not save it (Saving it will save over the original file). Now open up the PDF you’ve just saved to
                    the desktop (you’ll now take the steps to make this file only non-editable).
Step 4. In the top menu, go to “Advanced” then select in that drop down menu “Security” then “Show Security Properties” - a ‘Document Properties’ window will now appear.
Step 5. From this new window, select the “Security” Menu. Set your ‘Security Method’ to ‘Password Security’.
Step 6. A new window will appear named ‘Password Security Settings’. In this menu, tick the box that says “Restrict Editing & Printing of the document”
            you’ll need to a) set a password for it, and b) In the ‘Printing Allowed’ drop down box, select ‘high resolution’   and if you want to, tick the
            box that says ‘allow the copying of text, images and other content’
Step 7. Click OK and Save the document. Now it’s not editable unless you have the password.
Note: If you happen to want to edit the PDF at a later date, you can open the file and in the ‘Security settings’ menu on the left hand side
(the menu is represented as a little gold lock) click ‘Permission Details’ then ‘Change Settings’ to revert everything back to an editable document
- repeat the above steps to make it a locked document again.

Thanks for your suggestions. You should also consider flattening a form if you want a non-editable copy; because the permissions password is not always respected by third-party PDF applications (for some people the form will remain editable, depending on what software they're using).
Flattening a form can be done in several ways in Acrobat: you can run a script - this.flattenPages() - or print the PDF back to PDF (aka refrying), or use the Sanitize tool in Acrobat X. It also strips out hidden content associated with the form (button actions, field calculation scripts, etc.) so provides additional data protection. Sanitize is the heavy-duty option of the three; it will remove all hidden content, leaving only what you see on the page.
One correction to your workflow - the Save a Copy menu item is not intended for creating a duplicate of a normal form, it's only available if the form has been rights-extended and it serves to remove the extension certificate from the PDF (allowing full editing in Acrobat again). As your client is working in Acrobat they don't need a rights-extended version in the first place, and working with a normal form will make things simpler for them. In Acrobat X Pro you could create them a custom Action which automatically flattens the file and saves a duplicate, so they don't accidentally overwrite the original.

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!

Saving responses in pdf form in Adobe Reader

Hi,
I have an existing pdf document (for a competition entry form) which i converted into a form using Acrobat Pro. I want to post this on my website for users to download, complete and email back to me. However, when the pdf form is opened up in Adobe Reader (which most people have), they cannot save it.
Going back to Acrobat Pro it gives me the option to distribute to a list of email addresses and collate the responses. This is not what I want to do as I do not know all the recipients.
Is there a way to allow this document to be saved in Adobe Reader?
Thanks, Simon

There is but as I mentioned in your post in the Reader forum, it is not available in Acrobat 7. You need 8 or better.
Also, if you DO get 8, be sure and read the usage rights on enabled forms. There is a limit for data colletion. Basically you can only collect 500 filled in forms.

Saving PDF form on Mac prevents viewing and printing by another viewer

We run a student competition which is affiliated with a national competition. The national competition provides a set of forms that must be filled out by the students, teachers, etc. We have a process set up whereby students can download a PDF form (which is enabled by the authors for saving from Reader). They are supposed to fill out this form (actually several of them), and then save the file(s) to their drive. Once they have the forms filled out and approved by their teacher, they upload them to our website via a standard web form, which simply saves the uploaded PDF for later viewing by the student, teachers, judges, and committee members. When students do this using Adobe Reader on a PC, it works fine. (I'm not sure if Reader X works, actually, but I know Reader 9 does). The problem, though, comes up with Mac users. When they do the same thing, it seems to override the extended rights in the document, resulting in a document saved on their disk that displays with all the fields initially unviewable (that is they all appear blank). If you click on one of the fields, you can view the fields one at a time. Each field appears and disappears as you move thru the document. But we can't simply read the form, nor can we print a copy (which is necessary if the student wins and proceeds to the national competition.) This is true if the form is uploaded or emailed or transported by USB drive--it is simply a property of the saved file. In our testing, this appears to be a generic property of forms processed on a Mac--and we haven't found a way around it. Is there any way for a student who has filled out a form on a Mac to save the form while PRESERVING the extended rights? Or do we just have to tell them that Macs don't work right? If there is a way for them to do this, I could provide the instructions on the page that delivers the forms. But we've tried to explore the Mac interface (inside Safari and in the PDF viewer that is provided on the Mac systems) and can't find any place that gives options that seem to affect the extended rights. Help!

There's an easy way around it. Make sure they are using Adobe Reader to fill in the form. 99% of these cases are because they are using the Mac Preview application to open PDF's and it will corrupt Adobe forms.
