Save versus Save As for PDF Forms

Windows 7 (x64)
Adobe Reader 11.0.07.79
I download a PDF fill-in form. Opening it with Adobe Reader, I see just below the tool bar a banner that says: "Please fill out the following form, You can save data typed into the form."
I partially insert data. When I select Save (NOT Save As), I get the Save As navigation window. If I do not close the fill-in form, and insert more data, the next time I select Save, it saves without the Save As navigation window.
To demonstrate, try the U.S. individual tax return Form 1040, which can be downloaded from http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf.
I reported this same problem a few years ago, citing Windows XP and an earlier version of Adobe Reader (version 10.?). Is there a plan and schedule to fix this?

Word 12.0.6695.5000
Excel 12.0.6683.5002
WordPad 6.1.7601.17514
NotePad 6.1.7600.16385
SeaMonkey 2.26
Thunderbird 24.5.0
Eraser 6.0.10. 2620
File-Type Manager 1.6.5.0
Free Hex Editor 5.14.0. 4787
Icon Cofiguration Utility 5.0.0.0
All of the applications listed above -- just a few of those I have on my PC -- silently save when I request "Save" for an altered EXISTING file. Note that, contrary to comment #6, Word (from Office 2007) is among them.

Support for PDF form editing in Acrobat Pro XI and futire versions?

Will Adobe Professional continue to support the creation and editing of PDF forms after Forms Central? Can I import my Forms-Central PDF forms into Acrobat XI? What are the plans for future versions of Acrobat Pro - any cancellations planned for forms-features?

>. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
That's correct.
>but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
to buy to save forms.
> I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
a different one.

How to find where used for PDF forms

Hello Everyone,
I have a small issue. I want to find the where used list for a PDF form SD_INVOICE_FORM01. Just want to see the driver program which is calling this PDF form.
Can some one help me in this regard?
Quick response would be appriciated. Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi,
You can see the driver program in Tnapr table.
Give the FORM name in the selection criteria. You will get the driver program details.
If you have the FM name generated,goto se37 and check where used list there.( It is useful only if the FM is used by its name in the driver program.)

Highlight Fields as default for PDF Forms

Hello all,
I've recently designed a PDF form with some required fields, which get marked in red as soon as you open the form. However, some Acrobat Reader users have to click first on "highlight fields" in order to see the required fields. Is there a way to set "highlight fields" as a default for this form?
Cheers,
David

The suggested code didn't work for me with Adobe Reader 8.0. However, since I am a novice at this, I may not be adding the code correctly -- can you please tell me if this JavaScript client code for layout:ready is correct or not? I added the code in red. (I am using LiveCycle Designer ES Version 8.2.1.4029.1.523496). It seems to be in the right place because if I alter the code to unconditionally set app.runtimeHighlight to false, then when I open up the form with Reader 9.0, the highlighted fields are off.
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.CurrentPage::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue
=xfa.layout.page(this);
// Turn on highlighted fields
if
(!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight
= true;}
form1.#pageSet[0].Page1.PageCount::ready:layout - (JavaScript, client)
this.rawValue
= xfa.layout.pageCount();
// Turn on highlighted fields
if
(!app.runtimeHighlight){
app.runtimeHighlight
= true;}

Multiple print for pdf form retains the value from previous!

Hello All,
We have developed Adobe Print Forms for our business requirements.
When we try to print these forms from the direct transaction, it prints fine. But when we try to select multiple forms to be printed with one transaction, the pdf form generated has data from all the selection!
Eg: Form printed properly for Delivery Note through transaction VL02N.
The same form when we try to print for multiple deliveries from transaction VL71, i retains the data and prints one huge form having all delivery data!!
Please help us out in this issue and let us know what is tha we are missing in this process!
Thanks a lot for your time and help.
Gaurav

Hi ,
i think that the problems comes form the data you give to the form, do you make a refresh of internal table before populated them ...

Submit Button for PDF Form

Good Morning All,
I have created a simple form in Live Cycle with a submit button. Originally, I placed a "Submit by E-Mail" button and found that wasn't working at all. Then I tried placing a button and reconfiguring it as a submit button. The button I reated has the correct group e-mail address I want the form submitted to - the department's generic e-mail address. When I go to test the form it defaults back to my e-mail address. This is driving me crazy. What am I doing wrong???? Help, anyone.

Sequential numbering for pdf form

I am trying to find out how to have sequential numbering of a pdf form that will be accessible on a shared drive. I need a new number assigned each time it is opened. Please help!

Hi,
There is not a way for the person filling out the form to see such a number the instant they fill out the form. If the form e-mails to the respondent with a copy of their responses however, the e-mail includes text indicating which response number their submission has counted up to. (If you also receive e-mail receipts of each submission, you would see the same info.)
So, for instance, you and the respondent would see, at the top of the e-mail, something like:
"The form <your form name here> has a new submission.
Total Responses: 238"
I hope that helps,
Brian

GTS Interface for PDF forms

Hello Friends,
Is there a GTS interface for PDF based forms. I am working on PDF based print form for GTS systems.
Points will be rewarded for useful answers.
Thanks,
John.

Hi John,
For adobe based pdf print forms, there are two entities which need to be created for proper execution - the form interface and form layout.
Both of these are accessed by the transaction SFP .
U first need to create a form interface. then u need to 'link' this active interface with the form layout. At runtime, the data fetched through the interface will be printed in the form.
when the activity message is configured, u can print the form via /SAPSLL/MENU_LEGAL transaction, giving the appropriate customs declaration number and going to the COMMUNICATION tab.
for more info on adobe based pdf print forms, please see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c8/4adf7ba13c4ac1b4600d4df15f8b84/frameset.htm

Save versus Save As

I have version 9.0.3. Am I missing something or do "save" and "save as" perform exactely the same function. Often I just want to open a picture and do a quick crop and "save" it back where it was. But PE says I already have one of those and makes me go through the whole "save as" routine. I doesn't make sense that it would be set that way but I also realize some of the easiest questions can be the hardest to figure out until you see the "duh" answer. Thanks much. Doug

Is it possible to save a copy of a PDF form created in Livecycle Designer ES3?

Hey,
I've created a form using the trial version of Livecycle ES3 however when I view the form I get this message:
"you cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like to keep a copy for your records."
Is there a way around this/ is this just with the trial version? If I download the full version will the forms then be saveable?
I don't want to send out the form to people unless they are able to save a copy as I think that this could cause issues.
Answers much appreciated!

If you use the File > Distribute Form this does allow recipients to save data entered into the form. However, beware of the following points:
1. File > Distribute Form will take you through a process to gather information about your preferences for distribution including destination email addresses. Once you have gone through this process, subsequently there is no option to change or reset any of the original inputs. For example, if you wish to change the destination email address, you need to open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go to Edit > Preferences and select the identity category. The email address can be changed there.
2.The File > Distribute Form, seems to make other changes to the PDF too, because it uses the email address entered when Distribute Form is first used, to submit the PDF by email. If you have an email submit button in your form, like I did, this does not work any longer in Adobe Reader. Clicking it now simply prompts to save a local copy of the PDF. The submit does work in Acrobat Pro, but this is useless for a distributed form.

How can I save a partially filled in PDF form and complete it later, before submission?

When I try to do this (in Reader X), I get the following error message:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Save a copy is only available in Acrobat Pro, so users wouldn't have this option. Most of users would have only the PDF Reader to fill in the form. They can either click on the disc or go to File\Save As...\PDF to save the form. It works ok on my computer, but obviously not on all. Thank you for sharing your thoughts though.
Best wishes.

Cannot save checked radio buttons in pdf forms

I am using form 1023 from the IRS which has a series of "yes" and "no" radio buttons that need to be checked. The problem is that each time I check my responses and save the pdf, it opens with my filled info still intact (i.e. my name, etc...), but none of the boxes are checked.
Help, please?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
If you're using Apple's Preview application, for this particular PDF file you might try the Adobe Reader application instead:
