Users unable to save data in .pdf

Greetings,
I created a rather simple form in LiveCycle Designer 8.2.  However, when users open the form in Acrobat Reader 9.0+ they are informed that they cannot save the data in the file and that it must be printed out.  I've looked through Ted Padova/Angie Okamoto's PDF Forms using LiveCycle Bible and have found nothing that can remotely explain this.  Perhaps I have missed a step, an option or saved it correctly.  Can anyone out there give me a hint, an explaination, or a fix for this problem?
Thanks!

Hi,
The issue is that the form will have certain restrictions when opened in Reader. For example, users cannot save the data that they have entered into the form.
There is a step you can take, which is to "Reader Enable" the form before you send it out. There are two approaches:
You can Reader Enable the form using Acrobat Standard v9 and above or Acrobat Pro v8.
You can use the full server product LC Reader Extensions ES2 to apply the Reader rights. 
The features that are available to the user will depend on which was you apply the Reader rights.
For example:
In your situation, you are at Option 2: form is not Reader Enabled and the user opens the form in Reader.
In order to enable the user to be able to save the data in the form, you need to get to Option 3 (enabling the form using Acrobat) OR Option 4 (enabling the form using LC Reader Extensions).
There is more information here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
Please note that there are licensing restrictions in Reader Enabling a form in Acrobat. Also you need to Reader Enable the form before you send it out to the users.
Hope that helps,
Niall

  • Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

    Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

  • Unable to save data entered in editable field of IW37N output

    Hi Gurus,
    I have made one of the fields in IW37N ALV output as editable using exit IWOC0004. When I enter the values in the field, I am unable to save the data to the order. The orders are getting successfully released but the values entered are not saved in database. Please help.

    Discovered that the problem was with the Adobe version. Updated version to 8.1.1 and installed  Active X control software and things started working.

  • Save data in PDF file

    hi,
    Using Adobe Life cycle Designer 7.1, I have created a PDF Form Template.But when I enter some data in the form ,I am not able to save the details in the form .I am able to save only the blank form.I want to create a callable object of intercative form type and initiate a workflow.Why am I not able to save the pdf file with data?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shamila

    hi i hope you are not trying to save the PDF while developing the application itself...(in NETWEAVER... )??
    the usable form in which you can actually save data should be obtained by running the application and NOT going to Interactive form->edit->pdf view.
    make the application and deploy it. when you get the blank form by deploying it, SAVE it, from the browser....
    i guess this should solve the problem.
    you can mail me at [email protected]

  • User Defined Table locked when multi users try to save data?

    Hi All,
    I am having a problem with User Define Table (UDT). I am just checking if somebody having the same problem as mine (any patch level).
    I've developed an add-on to save additional data to some UDTs upon saving a Production Order. I added my code in FormDataEvent (After Action = True and ActionSuccess = True).
    Here are my sequences to save the data:
    1. Start Transaction
    2. Remove Existing Data from 3 UDTs linked to the production order number.
    3. Save to table 1, using UserTable object
    4. Call function A to save to table2 , using UserTable object
    5. Call function B to save to table 3, using UserTable object
    6. Commit Transaction.
    Note: I have a try catch and rollback the transaction if any exception thrown by .NET and SAP. Below are parts of my coding to handle exception from SAP
                    If oUserTable.Add() <> 0 Then
                        oCompany.GetLastError(ErrCode, ErrMsg)
                        Throw New ApplicationException(ErrCode & "-" & ErrMsg)
                    End If
    in the try catch block, i add the following code
                If oCompany.InTransaction Then
                    oCompany.EndTransaction(SAPbobsCOM.BoWfTransOpt.wf_RollBack)
                    SBO_Application.MessageBox("[SaveRoute]:" & ex.Message)
                    Return False
                End If
    Now, the issue is in some occasions, when multi users try to save the Production Order, the data get deleted from the UDTs, but some of the data did not get saved yet it did not throw an exception. From our observation, it only happens when multi users are trying to save to the same table.
    Does anybody having the same or similar issue? Really appreciate if you can share on this.
    Many Thanks,
    Harianto Ng

    I Believe you should look carefully where in your code writting, you should start transaction and be sure of using end.transaction commit if the insert sends a succesfull message, and rollback it for negative message.
    I used to start transacción right before .add method
    Wha DBMS are u using?
    Hope it helps.

  • Unable to SAVE data through a data form in Hyperion Planning

    Hi,
    I recently migrated an application from development to QA using the LCM tool and refreshed the outline into Essbase using Planning Web. Once completed, i loaded the level0 data and aggregated it.
    I opened a data form and tried to SAVE data and i get an error stating: "There was an error during the save process".
    I tried saving the data using another form and i was successful at it. I re-migrated the data-form i was having an issue with and tried again. Thist time I get an error "Communication error with server. Callback failed for data entry page". This error shows up now on every form and every application.
    Any suggestion on how to fix this?

    I don't know if that patch will help you or not. It addresses a specific issue related to text data types. Your issue sounds similar, in that it appears to be triggered via the existence of specific data. The issue we were describing above presents itself when opening the form, and not when saving the form. I'm just guessing here, but it sounds as though there is some type of mismatch between the data types that Planning is expecting to display and save on the form, and the format of the existing data in Essbase.
    You said that you can't save the form once the data is loaded into a particular version. Here's what I'd do to narrow the issue down:
    1) Copy the data into your version so that the form will NOT save. (ensuring that the issue is present)
    2) Start selectively deleting data from the version. Write a quick calc script that clears certain data, account, by account.
    3) After each selective delete, make a note of the account you cleared. You'll only need to clear accounts that are present on the form.
    4) After each selective delete, refresh the form, and then try to save.
    At some point, I expect the save will be successful. You'll then know what data was causing the issue. I'm guessing that this data (probably a specific account) will have a data type that doesn't match up with the data in Essbase. It could be defined as a Smart List that wasn't migrated. Or a text value that doesn't exist in the app repository. Something like that.
    Hope this helps,

  • Unable to save files as pdf with CS5 AI

    What do I need to do to be able to once again save files as pdf with out freezing up AI

    are you using a MAC or a Windows machine??
    there is no other place to set your PDF exports--(there are workarounds-but that doesn't solve the base problem)  there should just be a choice in a drop down menu when you do a 'save as' and the PDF options window should open when you choose Adobe PDF
    you should 'consider' reinstalling Illustrator as it seems that you've somehow lost your presets for PDF--BUT--
    first--need to know what OS you're running--if you recently updated a 'MAC' (to Mavericks 10.9.x) that could be the problem and I don't know if CS5 is problematic with Mavericks--IF you're using a Windows machine--a reinstall may prove to be the solution.
    let me know what OS you're running...OK?
    this window 'should' get to this other window

  • Unable to Save Responses As PDF

    We have several users that have access to view responses to our Adobe formcentral forms, lately we are having issues with saving the responses as a PDF.  We are accessing formcentral via IE (we have tried alternative browsers and doesn't seem to matter), and it happens to different users at different times during the day. 
    When we are in the respective account and try to download the response as a PDF (doesn't matter whether we use the arrow to the right of the row, or the save as PDF feature at the top) sometimes the sytem gets stuck on the spinning clock.  Is this a formcentral server tie up or is it on our end?  Anyone else experience this?  Do we need to clean out old responses? 
    It seems to work sporadically, we are now stuck with using the "view details" feature to see our form responses and print them out that way but we would like to be able to use the download as PDF feature like we used to do.  This issue has been going on for about a month on and off and seems to be worse now. We have tried to contact someone through the Formcentral support (No.: 0185350898) and they gave us a "FIXITWIN" file that did not resolve the proplem.  We have one user that tried to download the desktop formcentral client to see if it would work through that method instead of through the browser and that did not make any difference.  We have had our IT support check this issue out at one station and he's unable to determine what could be the problem and seems to think it's on formcentral's end.
    Please help.

    Yes I've tried to download them via the method you indicated and also by using the save as PDF feature button, once we get stuck with the spinning clock, we have to completely close out of formcentral and log back in to attempt the whole proces again.  Unfortunately it is not linked to a specific form, we have several forms, all which were once working properly and now are encountering this issue.  Again, this incident is not tied to any particular form, it sometimes works and sometimes it gets stuck, and I can't seem to pinpoint any pattern to a specific time of day (we thought maybe it was a many users accessing the forms at the same time).
    This morning I attempted to download responses from several forms and was successful, however, when I had another user try they were unsuccessful.  I just attempted it on one of my forms and no luck.  Is there a capacity limit?  We have some forms with over 300 responses.

  • Unable to save an edited PDF file

    I have some PDF files that I need to sign, whenever I place my signature and click save I get an error message saying "The file may be read-only, or another user may heve it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder". I am currently using adobe Pro 9 with windows 7 64bit and Im trying to save it into a network drive.
    Doing a little research, I found that there is a bug on the application, if the file is selected/highlighted on the folder where I opened the PDF, I get the error message, and if I unselect the file or close the window from which I opened the file, I am able to save it with no problems at all.
    Is there any patch or is adobe going to fix this?

    Como indica el encabezado del foro, se trata de un foro en español.
    Has instalado todas las actualizaciones de Acrobat?, creo que la mas reciente es la v. 9.5.
    Sobre una futura solución a ese problema (en el caso de que no se haya resuelto aun), dependerá de Adobe, esto es un foro de usuario, que no suelen anunciar si seguirán apareciendo actualizaciones y
    en que momento, de versiones antiguas de su software.
    En el caso de Acrobat XI, lo hacen trimestralmente al menos.

  • Users unable change own data

    Hi All,
    With the implementation of CUA users in the client systems aren't able to change their own data (SU3). On the CUA server itself, we can change our own data, when trying this (something like a printer) on the client systems (where user data is distributed to) the deafults tab is grayed out, so unable to make any changes. Any ideas?

    Hi Diederik,
    As far as i know that you can not do any changes on the client system you can try changing this in the client which you have implemented CUA.
