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?

Unable to save Interactive form content

Hello Experts,
Can someone tell me how can I save the contents of my pdf locally ? I am only able to save a blank form but not the information that i have filled in. Have experimented with the various possible modes but so far no success. Thank you.

Hi Kwok,
If you create an XDP with the Designer and save it as PDF form, the PDF will not contain the proper right for saving it.
But if you create an Interactive Form UI in a WD project in the Developer Studio and design your form from Dev Studio, then when the WD application runs, the XDP is tried to sent to the preconfigured ADS (a web service responsible for PDF generation). If the ADS is configured well and contains the <b>proper credential file</b> for operations such as save, the returning PDF displayed in the browser will contain the right for saving and you can save it locally. From this time the local PDF can be open with Reader and the Reader will always give the possibility for saving.
Do you need only the contents ? Then you can also try the followings:
1. Save as text... command from the Reader
2. If you like PS much more then a readable text file, you can also choose Print.. and click on the Print to file checkbox. (of course this solution rather a joke than a suggestion)

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.
Thanks,

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,

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.

Save Interactive form to SAP

Hi All
I have a requirement where we display an interactive form in a web dynpro. The user captures some information and on submit I need to save the interactive form (i.e. the file) as a notification attachment in QM02.
I'm not sure if this is possible and if not, what is the best way of saving an interactive form in SAP.
Thanks in Advance

Thanks Nawal
What I am trying to do is save and update the Interactive form as a notification attachment. I convert the xstring data to binary and store the form as an attchment using fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_CONTENT and this works. I can read the binary data, convert it to xstring and display the adobe form on the portal.
But when I want to update the binary content in SAP with any changes, I use fm SDOK_PHIO_STORE_AS_UPDATE. This also seems to work but when I try to display the updated document on the portal, it says the file is damaged and could not be repaired.

Save Interactive Form on server or into a folder

Hi all,
I would like to save an interactive form on my server WAS but without user action.
When the user push on the button, the data are safeguarder on R3 and the PDF is stored in the server.
Thank you for your help

Hi Tony,
In general, you should be able to do this by developing and provisioning a simple web service on the NetWeaver Application Server. This Web Service should store a PDF/XDP file that is submitted to it (over HTTP). Depending on your needs you can do this on whichever stack you prefer-- ABAP and Java.
In this scenario the assumed process flow is that the user will fill some information in the Interactive Form and press the 'Submit' button and that button click will transmit the Form to the server. At the server your web service will receive, process and store the PDF/XDP data. This web service will be, what you call, your 'data safeguarder'
Your web service will need to be responsible for handling the management of submissions-- for example, differentiating between new forms and newer versions of existing forms/submissions. This is not too difficult since you can determine certain key fields on your form and use them for differentiating between newer versions of an already submitted form from a new one. You can do this based on explicit (user entered) or implicit (system generated) variables on your Interactive Form that are passed between the client and the server.
I am not sure what the purpose/scenario is of you form(s) or what data your form(s) will contain but if you want more information then you can clarify your requirement and post a new thread.

Adobe Reader unable so save fillable form

I am trying to fill out a PDF Form, but if does not allow me to save changes unless I save a copy. The PDF is already saved as reader extended, I have Adobe XI Pro but several others users only have Adobe Reader. This form was working just fine last week. I tried opening with Reader X and XI and neither will allow me to save the changes.

Thank you I will have them try this.
On a separate note- I am sending these forms on a private social networking site and when they click them it opens in a new browser tab. If they fill it out from the tab and then save it to their computer it does not save what they wrote; its just blank. I have had to have my students save to a computer file first then fill out from there and save it and then upload it again to the site. Is there a way to make it save right from the browser?

Unable to save a form with missing required fields

I have a form, with required fields, as part of the new hire process. I would like to make sure the user fills in the required fields before closing/saving the form.
I have a custom script that highlights the missing required fields when the complete/validate button is clicked.
This, however, doesn't stop the user from saving the form. As a result, we are getting incomplete forms returned.
Is there a way to stop the user from saving the form until the required fields are filled ?
Thanks in advance.
Aditya

I have a "validate" button that sets a flag (for workflow). This button will perform the check and highlight the missing fields.
Once the user completes the form, he/she saves and emails the form. The reason for not having the email button is because not all users will have outlook and wouldn't want to go through the wizard.
I understand your point but I need to know if there is some solid way of not allowing the users to return the form without completing the form.
If I include an email button, the users can still save, by using the toolbar menu, and email the incomplete document.
As we are planning to implement Digital Signatures, would it be possible to have the check in the presign event. Will this prevent the document fron being signed until the required fields are filled ?
Thanks
Aditya

Create and Save Interactive Form

I have created my form which I would like to have users fill in and save. I have done something wrong because it gives a message that it cannot save entered data. The form works, it just won't save entered data. Thanks.

Hi Ibgolfin,
That's par for the course.
What you need to do is enable Reader Useage Rights by:
open your form in Acrobat Pro
Select Advanced
Select Extend Features in Adobe Reader
That's it. No puttering around needed.
Stephen
