Unable to save form

Several weeks ago I created a form with version 8.2.1. Everything worked fine. Went back into the form yesterday and could not save or view the form as a pdf. Log reported an error with version compatibility. As a test I tried to create a new form, same problem. Went in today to attempt another form and received the error "Failed loading Device Driver [pdfldriver. System error [%1 is not a valid Win32 application" with no mention of the error from the previous day. Any ideas (in layman terms please) would be extremely appreciated. Thanks!

I suggest that you file a bug report to http://adobe.ly/DWBug.

Unable to save completed form

I am a recipient of a questionnaire on FormsCentral with many pages of input. At a certain point, the program will not let me save my input. I get the following error
Unable to Save Form
An error occurred while tryhing to save your form.
Then an OK button
Someone please help

Hi;
The more information we can get the better we can investigate, can you share with me:
The form URL
Screen shots of the error message the user sees (this would be very helpful)
Email address the user used for the Save form link
Email to [email protected]

Unable to save PDF's that have editable fields

I am unable to save forms that have editable fields. I get the error "The document could not be saved. The disk you were saving to or the disk used for temporary files is full. Free some space on this disk and try again, or save to a different disk"
I am running windows xp, and started with reader 10.1.4 having this issue, now i upgraded to 11 and same results. My co workers can save the same form and i have over 80 gb of free space on my hard drive which is where i am saving it to. I have tried saving it to other locations on my hard drive but get the same message. I can however save pdf files that have no fillable forms in them just fine.
I could really use some help.
Thanks

Figured out prtected mode was set to enabled on startup. Turned that off and no more problems.

I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file.

I am unable to save my form responses as a pdf or excel file. The error message states: Acrobat.com could not save this file. The file might be open in another application and cannot be overwritten.

Did saving ever work or did it fail the first time you tried?
Have you tried to save to multiple locations? Maybe it has something to do with permissions on the directory you are trying to save to.
Have you tried saving something from another web site to the same location? Try creating and saving a file in/from https://workspaces.acrobat.com/app.html#o and see if that has the same result.

Error while creating task: The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again. (SharePoint 2013)

I get the following error while saving a task inside task list:
"The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I tried restarting "search service host controller".
The server has 8 GB RAM and according to task manager, 6.67 GB is being used.
I logged into the site with user which is the owner of the site. I tried creating tasks from client as well as the SharePoint server itself. Same error is shown in both the cases.
How do I find information on the exact problem that is causing the error? What are possible solutions?

Hi robikshrestha,
This error message often shows when there is low memory that can be used, the workaround restart the “SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” service is to release some memory, and make it work. Whether restart the service release memory
in your situation?
Would you please check whether this issue happens all the time in task list, or happens sometimes when the memory is lower to use. If it doesn’t have a large impact, you can restart the server, check the result. have a look at the event
log and ULS log, see whether there is related information.
If it happens all the time, would you please use other browsers, whether the results are same? This may be caused by some add-ons in IE, like Free Download Manager I have seen.
Thanks,

Unable to Save Interactive Form

Hi Experts,
I am unable to save any UI elements (viz. Table, Text Fields, etc) on an Interactive Form UI element created using NWDS.
Whenever I create new UI elements on the Interactive form and try clicking on Save Metadata Button of the NWDS the Button doesn't get disable. Similar issue is faced if I explicitily try to close the Interactive Form opened for editing. It gives a pop-up to save the interactive form. On clicking Yes on this pop-up it throws another pop-up that says Save Failed:Null
Installed version for NWDS is 2004s (version7.0 SP15)
The Program files folder on my desktop has the following folder structure
Program Files -> Adobe -> Designer7.1
Importing the form also results in the same issue
Can you please point out what I am missing?
Thank you
Regards
Abhishek Arya

hi Abhishek
did you get the solution to your problem?
i am also facing similar issue. whenever after making changes to interactive form i click on "Save Metadata" it has no effect on the form.
the form doesnt get saved and after reopening it shows blank form.
have you found out the reason behind this?

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again - tried the trust standards...

2013 standard sharepoint server. Content DBs were on a Trial enterprise server and copied over to standard server. All was good on trial server.
there are 8 sites on server, 2 of the sites cannot create or edit items, they get "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
googling around i tried everything. restarted search host controller, checked ram usage (8gb free), manage content types, iisresets, edit the web.config file ( add things for ram, search host, etc), no alternate access mappings, .net HTTP activation, rebooted
server... I'm sure i missed some.
The server is new install, all but the August HF CUs. Trial server the content DBs came from is at same level.
It is not a server level issue as the other 6 sites are fine. its something with just 2 sites.
kinda stuck here...
Thanks,

With the USL Logs were hard to track down what was happening, though I think it was too do with /_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery.
I did the Enable/Disable Anonymous Access on the Directory with no luck.
Brought up Fiddler and Saw that I was getting 401 and 500 Errors on
GET http://team.intranet.eandm.com/it/_vti_bin/client.svc/ProcessQuery HTTP/1.1
So it had something to do with Permissions. I checked the Authentication and the sites that worked had Forms Auth Enabled, and the ones that didn't, didn't have forms Auth enabled. Enabling it manually was no go.
I then went though the web.config on the working and non-working sites and there were some differences. The Authentication was Forms on the working site, Windows on the nonworking. There was many things not present. httpModules section was missing,
Many of the Microsoft Identity /Authentication lines etc.
So I Basically took the web.config from the working site and copied it to the non-working site preserving the following line from the original web.config:
<machineKey validationKey="{key}" decryptionKey="{key}" validation="{hash}" />
After that I had Security Issues, Though I think this was Caused by the July 2014 CU making everything use the Microsoft Identity parts, where as the server I was porting form had the sites created before the July 2014 CU. (though both were at the same level)
Even though all of the users were present in the site security, I had to Drop and re-add them to every site/and list with special Perms.
With the Security Fixed, I no longer received the Error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again"
Knock on wood its all functioning fine.

The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again

Having created a new custom list (even with only a text field) I am unable add new items to the list - the error message is Unexpected
response from server. The status code of response is '0'. The status text of response is ''. when in 'quick edit'.
If I try to add or modify an item in the list by clicking 'add new item' I get "The
server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I have restarted the Sharepoint Search Host Controller server but to no avail. I have 24Gb RAM for this server so it's not a
memory issue (8Gb available). I have also tried from various browsers including Chrome and Safari - still the same error message.
This error only occurs on lists. I can edit document properties in a library and have no problems with calendar entries.
There are no entries in the event viewer, so where do I need to begin looking to find out what is (or rather is not) happening?

One thing I noticed in SP 2013 is that if your list has unique permissions and a user/group has permissions only on that list and has limited or no access at the site level, then you run into this error: "The server was unable to save the form at this time.
Please try again."
This can be resolved by either giving that user/group atleast read access at the site level or in my case I had to create a new permission set (since we cant update limited access permission set) which is same as limited access but with the additional permission
of "Use Remote Interfaces - Use SOAP, Web DAV, the Client Object Model or SharePoint Designer interfaces to access the Web site."
I am not sure if this is a bug or as per design, but not allowing a user who has needed permissions at the list level but limited access at site level doesnt seem right. Never ran into this issue in prior version of SharePoint. I tested and this additional
permission doesnt seem to violate any security at site level. But implement this at your risk. No guarantees provided and not responsible for any issues with this implementation if any.

Error:- The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again.

Hi,
I have SP 2013 intranet sites.
I am trying to edit the list item in site and getting the error "The server was unable to save the form at this time. Please try again."
I read many article on this forum. to chck web.config file, to restart
“SharePoint Search Hosting Controller” But no help.
Still i am getting this. what could be the reason now.
Please provide the resolution. I am trying to resolve this from last two days.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Normally, there's something wrong with the form responsible for editing list items. Is it customized? If not, you could use the free SharePoint Designer tool to delete the current form, create a new one (wait some time before caching issues are solved)
and you should be good to go. If it is customized, contact the team responsible for managing it.

Unable to save changes to Interactive form

Hi All
       I am designing an Interactive form in the WD Java application. This form is in DC which belongs to TRACK1.
      After making changes to the form I try to save the changes by clicking "Save All Metadata" but that has no effect. when i close the form and reopen it, the all changes made are gone.
      From some threads i got that Interactive form should not be kept blank. But even after assigning all the attributes to Form I am unable to save the changes to PDF.
      While as changes made to PDF in another DC belonging to TRACK2 are getting saved.
      Does that mean the track in perticular has to be given some perticular authorization? or does that depend on authoriztions of userid which created the track?
Please help me in resolving this issue
Deepak Salokhe

Hi Amita
actually when i tried to modify the XDP file, i found that for all DCs in that particular track no XDP file has been generated. also that the templateSource property of the InteractiveForm UI Element is blank while as it should point to the template on file system.
i checked the SAPNote 822198 as suggested on this thread Link: [Adobe Document Server issues - cannot save metadata of interactive form UI; but it has not solved my issue.
can you please suggest wat the issue might be??

Unable to save the ALV layout variant and display of selection screen on F4

I am not sure whats going wrong, but I am unable to save variants.
Please help.
Thanks,

The F4 will display you the existing layouts only. So you need to save the layout first & then execute the report again & check if you are getting F4 values for that field.
The Layout needs to get stored with variant.

'System Error' when trying to save Form Manager Registry Settings

Hi,
trying to save changes made in the form manager registry settings [Home > Services > Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager > Registry Settings (http://localhost:8080/FormManagerAdmin/registry-cfg-load)], I get an error, which reads:
> System Error
>
The request could not be processed. Please retry the operation. If the problem persists, please contact your system administrator.
Has anyone had this error as well?
The system runs fine apart from the jboss log files being crammed with the well-known and pretty annoying
SpyJMSException.
Does anyone have an idea how to apply changes to the form manager registry settings, if the web ui does not work? Where are the 'form manager registry settings' being stored? Maybe I succeed in changing the settings manually at least without having to re-install Livecycle...
Regards,
Steve

We are using JBoss 3.2.5.
Weirdly, last week a collegue of mine was able to save the registry changes. This week, both of us get the 'System error' when trying to save changes. Even using a default Administrator account, we were unable to save changes.
Is there any other way apart from the LiveCycle web UI to change the registry settings without having to re-install the server? Where are these values stored?

While composing email, keep getting "Unable to save as a draft" every 30 seconds. I've disable auto save and it didn't help.How can I stop this message?

Mike,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my app. This is my last major stumbling block that I have to resolve for this and other forms in the app.
Actually, I did use the Form Wizard for Auto DML to originally create the form. It was great. It created most of the Buttons, Items and Validations automatically (basically most of the page). I just needed to create some Processes and Computations. Two of which were the Processes to update the 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields and 'update_dt' and 'updated_by' fields. The Create process updates the fields just fine.
However, my problem seems to be that the Hidden 'create_dt' and 'created_by' fields aren't picking up the values from a record that is being editted. Then when I attempt to save the record those fields are NULL, causing the DB NOT NULL constraint to throw an exception for those fields. In the back of my mind I seem to remember seeing some post stating something to the effect that the information in fields with a Source Type of Database Column is just displayed and does not affect Session State items.
Even with that, I am still wondering just why the 'created_by' Page Item shows the value that is in the DB record being updated, but the 'create_dt" does not (as can be seen in my first posting). It is the 'create_dt' Page Item (:P205_CREATE_DT) not having the DB records 'create_dt' info in it that appears to be the problem.
Thanks,
Tom

Acrobat not able to save form

I have created a PDF document/form that is required to sent out via email, be adjusted and saved. However, the clients are unable to
save the adjusted document they are only able to save the blank document. I can edit the PDF and save the document but no one else
can. All the clients have downloaded the latest version of Acrobat Reader buy they are still unable to save anything but the blank f
orm. I have been searching for answers all over the internet but am unable to find the right answer. Can you help?
I have allowed extended features prior to uploading the form.

Not sure what's up then. I created a form using both Acrobat and Livecycle Designer (in case that's what you actually used to create the form), enabled them in Acrobat and they work no problems.
How are the people getting the form from you? Are they opening them from within Reader or are they clicking on a link and opening them in a browser?
rizwan.54 wrote:
i am using Acrobat 9.0 pro
The steps i took
1) Created the form.
2) Opened PDF
3) Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
Also, check to see if you maybe have a script running that resets (clears) the documents on closing.
