Problem Saving Forms Created

I created multiple forms inside of Acroba Professional 8.0 and I have not securities set on the file. For some reason when a user fills out the form, they can't save the completed form.
Any ideas?
TR

go in acrobat with the form BEFORE you send it out. Go to adavanced > Enable adobe reader rights. Make sure the form is done before you do this. This will allow users that use reader to save and print the form.

Javascript problem for form created in Adobe Designer 8.2

I have redesigned the form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2 and tried to do merging of xml values into the form. But not successful. Below is sample of the javascript
trustedImportXFAData = app.trustedFunction (
function (xmlfilenamename)
app.beginPriv();
var re =".pdf";
var filename = this.path;
this.importXFAData(xmlfilenamename);
this.saveAs(filename);
this.closeDoc();
app.endPriv();
This code works find with form created in previous version but not in the new version. I believe it has something to do with the privilege but I do know where I should change.
For you information, I don't get any error from javascript.
Thank you

Hi Paul Guerette,
I just remembered. I better inform you this as well so you can see the real picture.
Desktop - OS / Vista Home
I created the PDF form using Acrobat Livecycle ES 8.2, Then I opened the form in Acrobat Professional 9.0 to enable the save features. Then I open in Reader 9 to make I will be able to save data. Successful
Laptop - OS / XP Professional
I have vb.net that calls the js passing xml as parameter.
jsCode = "trustedImportXFAData(""" + SOURCE_XML + """);"
Fields = formApp.Fields
Fields.ExecuteThisJavaScript(jsCode)
In this machine I have Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional. The javascript is inside the \Acrobat 7.0\Acrobat\Javascript\.
I wonder could this also be, because of the compatibility between 2 different versions.
Thank you

Problem with forms created in Adobe 9 not saving in reader X

We have been using fill in forms I created in Adobe 9 pro and suddenly people were complaining they cannot save the form with their information. I have discovered that all of those people have acrobat reader X. I looked for solution and found that original form needs to be saved with "extend features in Adobe reader". when I did this it seems to have corrected problem. Does anyone know another way to accomplish without redoing the form? There are many forms and they have been widely distributed and would be difficult to redistribute. They worked fine with Acrobat reader 9.

In order for a modified form to be saved with any recent version of Adobe Reader, the document has to Reader-enabled, which is done in Acrobat 9 by selecting "Advanced > Extend Feature in Adobe Reader". So if the forms worked with Reader 9, they must have had the rights applied through this process or by LiveCycle Reader Extensions. It would be interesting to see a form that is fillable/saveable with Reader 9 that doesn't work with Reader 10.

Saving Form created in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard (V 9.4.5)

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could help me.
I have a form that is created in Adobe 9 that is sent out and the form is filled out and then submitted back but the problem is that many of the users who click the "Submit Form" button it does not appear to open an email with the form attached (this works for me and some of the people but it appears that more and more users of the form have the problem).
I was wondering if it is possible to have the users save the form once it has been filled in so it can be manually emailed as an attachement.
If so how do I go about amending the form so it can be saved.
My thanks in advance for your assistance.
Kindest Regards
Laig007

Thank you for your swift response,
The problem is that the form has to be filled out and then submitted via email, as you mentioned the email clients have trouble, I do not have a problem with the amount of submissions as I do not think I will ever hit the max on the form.
I have been doing some digging, can I use "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save In Adobe Reader" function on the form so the users can fill out the form and then save it? And if so are you also able to have the "submit Form" function with this or can it only be one or the other?
Thanks in Advance

Problem with form created in Accrobat 9 opening in Reader 9 (Works in Reader 8.1.2)

I created a form using Acrobat 9 and Adobe LifeCycle Designer ES 8.2. It works great on my PC running Adobe 8.1.2. It also works correctly when accessed on a flash drive. Additionally, it opens correctly on my wife's PC running Reader 8.1.2 regardless of how it was transferred. (Worked via flash, network copy/paste to desktop, and as an email attachment).
The problem is, on my laptop, and work computers running Adobe Reader 9.0, attempting to open the file generated the following error window to appear, once you click "OK" on the error, the form fields are no longer accessible. The error is as follows:
"This document enabled extended features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and use of extended features is no longer available. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
I re-opened the form in LifeCycle and optimized it for Adobe Reader 9.0 and higher; but the error persists. The only difference it makes is now when the form is opened on the Reader 8.1.2 machines, it generates first a window for downloading Reader 9.0, and then a compatability warning. Clicking cancel on the download and ignoring the warning results in a form that is still usable and that can be saved. On the Reader 9.0 machines, even after optimized for 9.0 and higher, the above error still persists.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance :)

No, you are wrong (Gene & Mike). First, the forms, at least my forms, have NOT been edited since being created in designer. They were created and saved directly to flash. Second, this issue has been posted on the acrobat forum as well as the life cycle designer forum and both thread were ended with adobe expert posts saying it was an adobe reader issue and to post here.
I have experimented more with this issue and it seems to be a 'trusted identity' issue within reader, but I have not wholely figured it out yet. My forms work on Reader, 7, 8, and 9. They work on all versions of 7 and 8 regardless of what the form was optimized for (my forms were optimized for 9 and higher). The only trouble is on 9.0. I have found that when updating on client machines, reader gives a prompt (sometimes) that says reader has found a set of trusted identities from a previous version, would you like to use these identies or create a new set of identities. If you choose to keep the existing trusted identies set, the form works, even when upgraded to reader 9.0
Not trying to be argumentative (Mike and Gene) but the 'experts' bail on this issue by telling people it's a reader problem and to post here.

Text fields special characters problem in forms created with ID

Hi there,
I'm creating form document with ID.
The problem with special characters appears after exporting file to interactive pdf.
When filling up text field, special characters (polish language specials in my case) are replaced by squares.
I do not know if this is a ID problem (and I should set encoding during pdf creation somehow) or Acrobat/Reader problem (tried both and also in Polish or English versions).
Some help would be appreciated.

I am Creative Cloud User and downloaded fresh ID less than 2 hours ago.. And honestly the last thing I would think about was updating.
But in fact - it was the problem.
So thank you very much for help!

Saving form created in Acrobat XI so other users cannot edit contents

I created a form in Acrobat XI and added information to the fields. I created multiple files, each with different data. I want users with Reader to be able to see the completed forms using Reader, but not be able to edit the fields. Hopefully I don't have to go through the settings under File -> Preferences -> Security because they are dreadfully complex. Hopefully there is a simple solution.

Thank you Gilad, for the prompt response. Can you briefly explain how to
"flatten" the file? There is no option with that word in any of the
dropdowns. Also, where would one find the "Action" option? Again, I'm not
seeing it. As noted, I am using Acrobat XI.
Regardless, I think that I found the solution: File -> Save as Other...->
Archivable PDF (PDF/A). When I did that, it saved the file, but gave an
error message that I ignored. Information in the fields was then visible,
but not editable. Also, I was able to link multiple files together using
Create -> Combine Files into a Single PDF... such that each record was
different.
Thank you again.

Adobe acrobat reader 9 problem saving forms and copying photos

I used adobe acrobat reader 6 at
work and I have a form that I save with new data. I am also able to copy text and photos using version 6.
When I try to save edited forms and copy files from versiion 9 It wont allow me to do that.
Is their any way that I can copy text, photos and save forms in Adobe version 9?
When I try to save forms in version 9 it states that I am unable to save the form. When I try to copy text or photos it will not allow me to copy.

Are you talking about Reader or Acrobat. These are two different programs and Reader definitely has restrictions. Reader used to be called Acrobat Reader before version 6, but that has been gone a long time. The change was likely because of the confusion between Acrobat and Reader. The problems you indicate are suggestive of Reader, not of Acrobat.

Problems with form created in muse to use in business catalyst ecommerce checkout

I am trying to create a form to use with my BC hosted site for the commerce module checkout
I have created a sample form - but every time I update the site it overwrites the form that I have modified in BC
I have checked the option to not export the page that the form is placed on but it still overwrites...

Hi,
any webform which is not used till now, will be deleted by Muse. To fix this,
1) Create the Purchase webform with payment details in BC.
2) Goto Module template-> online shop-> register buy layout and place the webform .
3) Go to test page URL and submit a test entry.
4) Check in back end a order will be created.
5) Then publish the site via Muse.
Muse never deletes a webform which has been used for submission.
Do let me know if you have any question.

Hi - i've been having this issue for over a month (since my company migrated to Windows 7) and JUST found the fix today. My issue was that I could successfully convert the PDFs, but once I tried to save them, Internet Explorer would crash.
The problem was that I needed to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player.
Oddly enough, it wasn't Adobe that told me this - I didn't get any errors or any upgrade suggestions on the Adobe site. Our Service Technician installed another web browser, Firefox (I had been using IE8), I logged in and tried to do a conversion, and then got the notification that Adobe Flash Player was out of date.
Once I upgraded Adobe Flash Player, it works fine, even in IE8.
Hope this helps!
Stephanie

Intermittent problem saving a pdf form

I have created a 17 page PDF form in LiveCycle Es with many dynamic features, such as adding or subtracting more lines to a table. The whole document is about 700KB ( 800 after being partially filled in) in size. I put fillable password protection on it and ran it thru Adobe Extension, checking Basic Fill-in and Final.
Most users are happy with it except two people are having problems saving it to their computer. Both downloaded it from Firefox to their computers, then opened it and began typing. Sometimes they are able to save their work and other times not. One was able to do a Save As and rename it, but that didn't even work for the other. One was getting an error message saying to the effect that the volume for the file was externally altered and cannot be saved.
They are both using Reader 8 or 9 and one has Vista while the other has XP. I have downloaded the form at work and at home and cannot duplicate their problem so I suspect the problem is at their end.
Any ideas of what could be causing this?

I think have a similar question as you answered here. But I want to just make sure I am understanding your response.
I have created a PDF form in LiveCycle and saved it as an Adobe Static PDF form. When I supply this form to my users. The only way they can fill it out and save it is they must have Adode ACROBAT. The free Adobe Reader will not allow a user to fill out the form and then save it electronically. They can only fill out the form in Reader and then print it out. Is this correct?
So any one I want to fill out the form and save it electronically will need to have Adobe Acrobat and at least the Standard addition...which costs money.

Form created with LiveCycle is not saving the data of a fillable form.

I had posted this in another forum, which got moved over to this forum. Forgive the double post, I wasn't sure if it was assumed that it was resolved.
This document: http://www.southark.edu/employment/application-v5.pdf was created a couple of years ago in Acrobat and LiveCycle.
I wanted visitors to have the ability to fill in the document and save their data.
So, I opened it in Adobe Acrobat X and saved it using the Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features.
However, after filling in the document and saving, no data is saved.
I was informed that since it was an XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, that they have special considerations that don't apply to forms created in Acrobat.
Still needing help in giving my visitors the ability to save their form data.
Thanks,
Charley

Thanks so much for your reply.
Employing your solution our website visitors can save the data using Acrobat Pro.
They cannot save their data using Reader (most of them don't have Acrobat Pro). See image below.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks very much for your time and interest.

Accessing a form created in FormsCentral that is saved locally

Accessing a form created in FormsCentral that is saved locally - how do I do this if the form was not created on this computer?

I am assuming you are saying you used the FormsCentral Desktop application included with Adobe Acrobat Professional XI and created a "Local" form. You will need to be able to ccess that computer to retrieve that form, when you are on the original PC you created the form on you can either move the form online when signed in so it is available anywhere, or you can export the Design File (FCDT, FormsCentral Design Template) which can then be imported into FormsCentral on any other computer, or can be converted to a PDF in Acrobat XI. To export the design file open the form and from the Design tab click "File" - "Export Design File..."
Thanks,
Josh

I created a publisher file, saved it as a pdf. The problem is I created it landscape and it only shows portrait cutting the sides off my document.

I created a publisher file, saved it as a pdf. The problem is I created it landscape and it only shows portrait cutting the sides off my document.

Sounds as if you used Microsoft software to make a PDF. If so, and you didn't use Adobe Acrobat ($$), then you need to get help with Publisher -- Adobe Reader only shows what you make.

Hey louiseg45826294,
Thank you for posting on Adobe forums.
Could you please let me know what Adobe Writer program you are talking about. Is it Adobe Acrobat or Reader?
Could you please share the screenshot of the exact error message that appears.
Are the PDF forms saved on your computer's local drive?
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
