Save Data to a Static Form then re-open for adding attachments

Greetings,
I have an issue with a form that I would like some help solving.
1. Form designed in Designer 8 using pdf "image" and laying fields on top.
2. Form is saved as a static 7 PDF.
3. When form is opened in Reader (not sure which version(s).) the form needs to be saved with input data AND then reopened to add attachments later.
The problem seems to be that I can save the data to the static form but then seem to lose the "handle" on the form for later opening and addition of attachments.
Anyone have any ideas?

Try this. By naming the file before hand using a file path control (or a constant on the block diagram), it will write to the file without prompting.

Why do some people get "you cannot save data typed into this form" using FormsCentral fillable PDF?

Hello. We're using FormsCentral extensively. We create the fillable PDF and send it to about 80 people. Each of them is adding content and saving and then passing on to another person for further content. Ultimately, all parties are happy with the content and submit. The problem is that some of the people open the PDF and get the message ""you cannot save data typed into this form". What is causing this? Please help as it is causing us many problems.

Thanks for the quick response. We distribute the form to 80 people who fill it out and create 80 versions. They then pass the form to one other person who edits. All 80 forms, once complete, are submitted to FormsCentral.
I think the problem is with Mac users. Is there anything unusual about the Mac with Adobe Reader? If you provide your email address, I can send you one of the filled out forms that is having this issue. It's quite odd in that the fillable fields don't show up until clicked on and the form is not saveable.
Thanks!

You cannot save data typed into this form

Hi,
I created a small interactive form using transaction SFP and I included this form into a WDA application.
The data I am pushing from the system into the form is visualized, but there is also an error message stating:
You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records.
At first I thought something was wrong with my credentials, but after requesting new credentials this message still appears.
Does anybody know what is causing this message and how I can fix it?
Thanks
Mario

Hi.
1. Are you able to generate an interactive form with the save option through a report program or by WDJ or were you able to view an interactive form by any means with your current credential configuration -> i am asking this coz eventhough you have the right credential, cases can be that it is not properly installed. (check out the standard WDA examples)
2. try using ZCI and xACF layouts. (for ZCI generate the scripts)
3 . Check if the form properties is set to interactive form.
4. Check if you have the generated xml in the interface of your form.
Hope you have checked these already.
Rgds,
Anto.

Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for longer than an hour.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.
Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.
Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.
Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.

Hi Kyle,
Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.
I'm checking with the form content owners to see if I'm allowed to post any of them. If they give the okay then I'll put a sample up here.

How to save data on a graph and then add new data to it

i am currently plotting data on a graph from a physical system. However when i want to add new data to the plot, the old one is replaced. I am trying to do more than one plot on the same graph, where the incoming data is at different times. I want something like Excel where i can just add a new plot to the graph.Can i save the data or freeze it onto the graph or something so that i can add a new plot and see the two at the same time?

As the other post pointed out, there are two objects in LV for plotting,
graphs and charts. If you wish to have a chart recorder that
accumulates data into one or more plot with time, you probably want a chart.
If you push a button and acquire a trace and want to add that to your
graph, you just need to
combine it with the data you plotted before and
update the graph. It isn't the most efficient, but you can easily read
the value of the graph using a local, add another row or column or
element to your data and send it to the graph.
To directly answer your other question, no, the grah doesn't have a
functional interface for clearing, adding, or deleting plots. Instead,
you do that with the diagram nodes and give the graph the results.

How do I give user rights to save data entered into a form?

I created a form in LiveCycle and open it using XI. When I open the form, I can fill out the form but I can only print the form. I have tried changing the security in Livecycle to allow users to save the form with their changes. I have tried to distribute the form but it doesn't send. I don't need the information sent back to me though. This is a form that everyone in my department uses and saves to their local drives. Any suggestions?

You don't Reader-enable a form with Reader, you have to do it with Acrobat. Once the form is Reader-enabled with Acrobat, it will be savable with Reader. In Acrobat 9 you'd select:
Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
By the way, there is no Acrobat/Reader IX, though there is a version 9. They didn't start with the roman numerals until version 10 (X).

How to save data from a JSP Form to a xml file

Hi All,
I want to save JSP Form Fields (like name, contact etc) to a xml.
When i chick on submit button of form all the entered fields should be saved into a xml file.
Can any one send me a sample code, as I am new to JSP and XML.
Thanks you All.

You could
- send the form input as request parameters (e.g. site.jsp?name=value&name=value) (done in html)
- get the parameters with request.getParameter("name")
- use [Java's xml lib|http://developerlife.com/tutorials/?p=25] to create the xml file [(jDom.org|http://jdom.org/] is another nice and simple xml lib)

Waveform Graphs: Is there a way to save data to a file and then clear the graph after each run?

This is just an added feature that I would like to insert because I end up having to erase the previous graph(for viewing and simplification purposes) after almost every plot cycle. Does LabVIEW 7.0 have a built-in feature that allows the user to automatically clear the graph after each run.
Thank you,
Keith Blackwell

May I recall you that to clear a graph you have to create a property node,
choose value and connect an 1D array with its first value to zero.
Then using a Select vi enables you to choose from clear or graph value.

Pop up message "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form..."

I'm using InDesign CS2 to add some functionality to a pdf. Mostly buttons that I've used to create links to pages inside the document.
When I open the exported pdf I get the unwanted message above, with a little pink icon in upper left hand corner of Acrobat 9.
Any way to get rid of this?
When I save the document with the functionality turned off, it's not there. So obviously there is something amiss when the functionality is added back in. But I really have no idea.

If you're only adding buttons with links, there is no reason to add any of the extra functionality for Reader users.
Just create the links and make sure that you choose to include links when exporting from ID.

Can I create a PDF form with a field for adding/changing Photos?

Does anyone have a solution to the following problem?
I would like to be able to make a PDF form that others in the office can use to fill in a particular inventory and model number. (Fields, Easy)
Then have a field where they can replace the PHOTO of the item referred to by the inventory and model number.
Is this possible using Acrobat professional? Can the document then be saved as, or exported somehow from there?
I know this is probabably easy to do in Word, but can a photo be changed on a PDF and saved as?
Thanks for any help or suggestions!
DaddyOfZed

It will make it possible for them to select a new photo. Will you ever want to extract the photo from the form to be used elsewhere?
In order to set this up in Acrobat, you can create a button to display the image, set its layout to something other than "Label only", and add the following JavaScript to the Mouse Up action:
// Prompt user to select an image
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
For the PC users, Acrobat Standard is sufficient for this.

Forms application not opening for the end user.

I have an Oracle Form that works fine when I copy the url into the browser and user the login credentials of the schema owner. But when I use the credentials of the end user, it does not open the form. I receive no error messages.
To troubleshoot, I opened the form in Forms Builder, log in as the end user and Compile, but I get no error messages.
I also took a call to a server-side procedure that is in the Form, and ran it in SQL Developer, once again while logged in as the end user, and it ran successfully.
I’m not sure what could be wrong. Any suggestions on how to debug this?

To troubleshoot, I opened the form in Forms Builder, log in as the end user and Compile, but I get no error messages.What happens if you run the form from forms-builder with that credentials.

Form created in ES4 won't save data entered in acrobat readerXI

I have created a large form in Live Cycle Designer ES4. If I save the form as a pdf and open it in Acrobat Reader XI I get the message that I cannot save data entered in the form only print it. All I want to do is to put the form on our web site for people to download, complete, save and e-mail it back to me. I did consider an alternative method which is if I distribute the form and take the distributed pdf and save it locally, when it is opened in Reader you get the submit button on teh purple bar on teh right hand side. This will confuse a lot of our users so if there is a way to not have the submit button then that would work but how do I stop the submit button appearing on the purple bar?

You have to Reader-enable the form. You can do this in Acrobat 11 by opening the form in Acrobat and selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
Reader 11 can save non-enabled AcroForms (forms created in Acrobat), but not non-enabled XFA forms (forms created in LiveCycle Designer).

I cannot save data typed into an Adobe form sent to me..??

I have been sent an Adobe Form that is a Tender Document that I need to complete. When I open the Document is states in the top left-hand corner the following...."Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."

What does the creator of the file need to do to make the form fillable? OR is there a program Bob8527 can download to fill in the form and email?
Please advise.
Thanks
