PDFMaker 9.1, Excel 2003, Users can't save form data

Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some assistance with a problem.
I created a new form in Adobe Pro 9.1 bringing in an excel template. The final product looked great. I had our IT department post it on our Intranet, and some individuals commented back they cannot save a copy of the data they entered in the blank form. I tested with others where it works fine. I can't confirm 100%, but it seems whoever has the Adobe "Pro" version can save and those with just the "standard" cannot save. They get that message Save a Blank Copy of this Form, Data typed into this form will not be saved..."etc.
I tried going to Advanced-Extend Features in Adobe Reader, but that doesn't help either once posted on the website.
Any suggestions how to enable so that all users (1000's) can save their work they typed into the document if they wish?
Thanks so much in advance!

Not specifically addresses whatever is causing the issue.
Just an obtw re: "extended" PDF forms (which, if there are users of Adobe Reader, will have to be made use of):
When you "extend" a PDF form usage most comply with the "500 limit" of the EULA.
With "1000's" of end-users you may well be in harms way.
See Section 15.12.3 (PDF page 408 of 410).
http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Gen_WWCombined-20080205_1329.pdf
LiveCycle ES avoids this but is costly.
Alternatively, piping out the user's form input to FDF and processing that at the server level could be done.
For this, you might have your IT folks give the FDF SDK a look over.
Be well...

Can't save form data?

Can't save form data in reader. Using acrobat 9 pro. Reader-enabling forms option is unavailable.

User can only save files to desktop.

Hello,
We recently purchased/deployed a MacPro workstation w/Snow Leopard v10.6.8 to a member of our Marketing Dept. The server is bound to our Active Directory domain and the domain user account has local admin rights.
We copied files over from another Mac. However, this user can only save to his desktop and not directly to other folders on the HDD. He can copy files from the desktop to other folders, but is prompted for admin credentials each time.
I've located the following article that discusses the "Repair Privileges" utility, but I hesistate to proceeed without being a little more certain.
Suggestions?
TIA, Tom W.

Hey Niel,
Your suggestion along with this article seems to have been the answer:

Window users can't save my pictures i do sent by email

Hello,
Since i upgrade to OS X Lion Window users can't save photo's i do sent them by email. Before the upgrade it was never a problem.
They do receive the mail. When they open it they do see the photos but not as an attatchment. So no jp(e)g attachments...just the photo in the mail.
But whatever they do or try they just can't save the pictures i do mail them.
I also selected "Sent Windows used attatchemnt"....and all other things..nothing helps.
Who can help since i need to mail many pictures each day to window users.
I would really be thankfull.

It's a known issue with embedded images in Outlook.
It comes up with Mail on Lion cause Apple has decided to redesign Mail more close to the mail standards for better compatibility with the majority of mail applications.
Unfortunately Windows Outlook handle mail in a more proprietary way and not the way almost all other mail applications will do.
A workaround for Windows Outlook users is described in the knowledge base article behind the following link.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917120
A workaround for Apple users is only to put the file in a compressed folder (e.g. ZIP) prior of attaching to the mail.

PC users can't save PDF form data from form created on Mac

I'm trying to create a PDF form for a client that will be accessing the form on a PC. However, when the client opens the form, a message appears saying that any data filled in the form cannot be saved and the document must be printed. If the client tries to "Save As" a message appears saying the form will be saved without the data. This defeats the whole purpose of using PDF forms.
What can I do to allow my client to save data in the form? When I check the permissions on my end, there is no security and no restrictions.
Developer environment:
Acrobat 9 Pro
OSX Snow Leopard
Client environment:
Windows 7
Acrobat Pro X

Thanks for the quick response, Karl.
The client downloaded the trial version of Pro X, to verify that the form works before buying. Would the trial version impose restrictions?
The client does not want to store data on a server. He wants the form to function as a template that he can save-as to customize. The completed forms will be shown on the computer as a part of a presentation, sometimes without Internet access.
I tried using the Advanced > Extend Form Features options to enable to ability to save form data, but when I tested the PDF on my PC (Vista, latest version of Reader) I got an error message along the lines of "this document has been modified from previous version, please get a copy of the original" and all form fields are gone.
I'm currently downloading the trial of Pro X so I can test the PDF.
I am also using a Javascript to allow the client to place photos in the document. This is achieved using a button with a Javascript attached to it: event.target.buttonImportIcon();
This works correctly in my environment, but could it be screwing up the file as it's opened on a PC?

How can I save my data and the date,the time into the same file when I run this VI at different times?

I use a translation stage for the experiment.For each user in the lab the stage position (to start an experiment) is different.I defined one end of the stage as zero. I want to save the position , date and time of the stage with respect to zero.I want all these in one file, nd everytime I run it it should save to the same file, like this:
2/12/03 16:04 13567
2/13/03 10:15 35678
So I will track the position from day to day.If naybody helps, I appreciate it.Thanks.

Hi,
I know the function "write to spreadsheet file.vi"
can append the data
to file. You can use the "concatenate strings" to display the date,
time as well as data... Hope this help.

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory

How can i save the data from the Oracle database to my local directory instead Of saving the data file to the Directory created on the Oracle Server ?
I require to design the Procedure which will pull the data from various tables and needs to store the data in the Client's local directory.

Since SQL*PLUS runs on the client, you can use SQL*PLUS to spool data to your local drive.
You could also use the database to write a a specified drive where all users have access to (mapped network drive, e.g.). I wouldn't recommend doing it that way, but it is sometimes useful when the files are created in some nightly batch run.

I can not save any data to external hard drive from my mac pro. Is there anyone can help me in this regard?( note, when i first plug my ext. drive to mac i chose option to backup later)

The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

How can i submit form-data with acrobat pocket pc

how can i submit form-data (http-post) on a PPC?
how can i store the data offline?
which submit-functions are availabe for the pocket pc reader?
do i need ARES?
where can i find a documentation of of the available functions for the ppc version?
where can i fond form-samples for ppc?
from the docu on my pocket pc:
Submit form data using handheld devices over a wireless connection. If you are working offline, the data is temporarily stored, then submitted once a connection is established. Send forms by e-mail or directly to the destination server using a cradle or cable

To your question regarding the Pocket PC version of Reader, I downloaded Adobe Reader for Pocket Pc 2 and installed it on my HP iPAQ . I then loaded my test PDF file onto the iPAQ. The Reader for Pocket PC preformed an email submission fine. However, I received no indication that anything happened when I tried an HTTP Post. So I think you can only do an email submission.
In general, I have been testing to see how much I can do without the Live Cycle Reader Extensions, since for sure I will never be able to purchase them. What I have found is that for Acrobat Reader 7, the email submission works for all of the people I have asked to test it, but the HTTP Post has worked for only one of the two people who have tested it so far with Reader 7 (the one for which it worked claims that he only has Reader 7 on his computernot Acrobat).

How we can populate the form data from 2D barcode

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me how we can populate the form data from 2D barcode, will this can be done through script(javascript)?.
Thanks & Regards,
Faisal Afzal

I was hoping someone could put me in the right direction here. I am basically doing the same . I am decodeing the information stored in a 2D Bar code and sending this information to an XML file, then I am trying to combine that xml file with a blank PDF template but the process is failing beacuse there are some additional tag fields the XML data from the Decode->Extract XML process.
The XML file from the decode process gives the structure below..notice therer some extra tags (lines 2- 4)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
<xfa:datasets>
<xfa:data>
<form1>
The XML structure that is expected by the PDF template is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form1>
So the xml output of the Decode barcode + Extract XML process has three extra lines of tag. Is there a way I could use a process within liveCycle to clean out those three lines in real-time before sending the xml to be recombined with the PDF template.
Thanks

How can i save a data in text format

how can i save a data in text format in labwindows cvi
Message Edited by Tikoy on 04-14-2010 11:30 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
If your data is in an array, the easiest way is to use the ArrayToFile function.
It automatically creates a file and puts your data in it according to the format you provide.
If you have individual samples that you need to write once in a while, you can either collect them into an array and then use ArrayToFile or open a file with fopen and write them as they are acquired with fwrite.
Hope this helps,

HT1320 how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?

how can i save me data stored on a non responding ipod classic and says you need to format before using it?
in another way : how can i save my date stored on my classic iPOD as a external hard .... when that msgs appears .... volume doesn't contain a recognized file system , make sure the file system is loaded .... then , you need to format ??? can anyone help ?

It sounds like the iPod's storage has data corruption. You may be able to treat it like an external drive and use data recovery software on it, but it probably won't work because the system is telling you that the drive needs to be formatted before it is recognized.
If the problem is data corruption and there is no hardware-related problem on the iPod's hard drive, a Restore should fix the problem. But this will obviously erase the iPod's hard drive.
