Why can't I save the form I created in Acrobat XI as a Reader Extended PDF?

I created and saved the document just like I have always done, with form and signature fields. When I click file>save as>reader extended, it let's me go through and name a new verison of the file, but then says "This document cannot be saved as reader enable." It gives no reason. If I can't save it as reader enabled, as I've done in the past with every single form, I'd like to know WHY so that I can fix it.

I have run into this issue at times too. If you have the original document that you used to create the form saved in a folder in Windows Explorer, try closing Windows Explorer before saving the document with reader extended properties enabled. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesnt. . .

Why can't i save the same bookmarks in different locations?

Why can't I save a bookmark for a particular site in multiple locations? If I already have it saved, for instance, in the bookmarks menu, and I then try to save an additional copy into the bookmarks folder, the copy in the bookmarks menu will disappear. This is incredibly frustrating. Thanks.

Using the "star" at the right end of the Location bar, you can only save to one location.
Using the Bookmark Sidebar (CTRL+B opens and closes the Bookmarks Sidebar), you can drag the icon at the left end of the Location Bar to other locations, one at a time, into a folder (will be placed at the bottom of the items already in the folder) or into any position, including a position within a folder. The image below demonstrates; the image is old, but the method still works. This is the only method that I use for Bookmarking, as I place some Bookmarks in multiple folders and I keep the Bookmarks Sidebar open most of the time for easier access.

Why can't i save my form after changes?

After editing a form I can't save the form to the same filename. I receive the following message:
Needless to say, the form is not shared or open anywhere else.
I've set permissions on the file, folder and designer, I've set compatibility on the urls, but nothing makes a difference. Imagine saving every few minutes and having to give a different file name every time. I have to keep on deleting previous versions.
Any ideas? I'm quite desperate....

Make sure the Preview pane in Windows Explorer is disabled.

Still can't sign form created in Adobe X, saved as Reader Extended PDF, Additional Features enabled

I've been trying to make a form work in Reader with fillable fields and signature enabled. I want to give users the option of typing their information and using a choice of Pen Signature or Digital Signature. For some reason you can neither fill in the forms nor insert digital signature or use the Pen option to sign. All highlighted fields are just shaded boxes in Reader, not fillable.
After saving and reopening with Adobe X Pro, both security and document properties indicate the form allows fillable fields and signing but I get the following message when testing in Adobe Reader:
The security settings on this document prevent adding text and/or placing a signature on it from Adobe Reader,. To fill and sign this you need to print it out.
Document properties are set to No Security, with no restrictions and Edit>Preferences>Security>Digital Signatures has nothing ticked on the first page.
Digital Signatures Advanced Preferences are marked as Verification document specific, prompt if not available; Ignore document validation; Verify Signatures using Current Time.
Under Creation tab Default Method is Ask When I Sign. Default Signature Signing Format is locked at selecting between the 2 certificate standards - PCKS #7 - Detached and CAdES - Eaquivalent.
I've tried leaving out the digital signature verification which is, of course, impossible when there are Digital Signature fields in the document.
The goal is to be as paperless as possible but this sure isn't working if you have to print it out. And, of course, it can't be saved in Reader, either, to then try to fill in the forms.
Any and all answers are appreciated!

Thank you for the info, George. I have posted an example on dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/s/qyiudku6pqm3kxf/rehire%20packet%20rev%20Mar%202013%20%28full%203 a3%29.pdf
I'm getting closer to resolving as at now text can be entered in non-signature boxes. Given who will be completing these forms I'll stick to e-signature rather than digital. Do I use a different form field for those or does the recipient plug that in from the Sign section in Reader?

Why can't I save a form under the same file name with multiple signatures

I have a form the requires several signature but after the first signature is placed and the form is saved (the lock document is not activated) when the form is opened again and the next signature is added the form now can't be saved under the same name. Why?

Oh your good....you've been doing this TOO long.....I give you THE COOKIE!!!
Yes I had explore open and minimized "in preview mode"...you know come to think about it this "preview mode" may be the reason I've had trouble saving other documents....wow....you get TWO COOKIES....

Why can't FC save the folder locations set for render files?

I wrongly assumed that when you go to system settings to select the scratch disks (root folder where all the audio and video render folders and files go, capture files, etc.) that Final Cut would save the folder locations within the FC project you are working in. Makes total sense, but for reasons I don't understand, FC does NOT save these folder locations and the result is that I have render files scattered all over the place on my hard drive and it is quite a mess! Fortunately, the project file remembers where it put the render files, so as long as you don't remove or rename any project folders, everything shows up rendered on the time line as it should. The problem is, if I'm working on several projects at once, I have to reset the scratch disks every time I reopen a project, otherwise the program will save it to the last scratch location selected and put all of the render files in another project's folder. I often forget to reset the scratch disks when I'm busy and now I have render files mixed up in various project folders.
Why can't you just set the scratch disks one time when you first set up the project and have the project always remember that location, instead of always having to reset them every time you reopen a project. I love Final Cut, but this is a product defect that should be addressed and corrected. If the project file can remember where it is putting all the render files, it should also be capable of remembering the scratch disk locations you originally selected when you first set up the project or better yet, save it to the project's root folder by default. Am I missing something here?

As MtD describes, FCP sets file locations for ALL projects at the system level. It may help to organize things this way so your files don't end up scattered across multiple locations.
Save the project files to your User folder on the boot drive.
For all the other files FCP creates, set them on a non-boot drive similar to this:
Media Drive
----->FCP Documents
---------->Autosave Vault
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
---------->Audio Render Files
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
---------->Capture Scratch
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
----------->Render Files
---------------->Acme Widgets Demo (sample project name)
---------------->Grass Valley Music Video (sample project name)
---------------->Jen's Wedding (sample project name)
----------->Waveform Cache
Of course, you can choose to keep renders or the Autosave Vault folder on other drives ... just keep them off your boot drive. It may not be the way you're use to working, but it's worked well for me the past 14 years. When you finish with a project and ready to delete the associate files, just go to your media drive and delete folders bearing the project's name.

Why can't I test the form?

I just made a form in FormsCentral and now I want to test it. When I go to Testing and then click on "look how users see the form", nothing happens. What is going wrong?

What browser are you using? It may be possible that your browser is set up to block pop-up windows/tabs.

Why can't i save the image that i have corrected on the texturizer filter screen.

as soon as i click ok on the corrected screen, it reveals the underlying original uncorrected image. i don't see any options to save the image.

In version 10 hold down Alt+Ctrl+Shift while starting PSE. Answer Yes to the prompt box. This is what it will look like (except yours will say 10 in the Title).

Why can't i see the chart i created in CR Viewer in SAP?

Can anyone give me a hint on this? thanks. i already tried using print preview in Crystal Reports 2008 and the chart appear but when using the CRystal Reports Viewer the chart i created does not appear.

Hi,
Not only charts, if you have any images like logo of the company will not be visible but when you export your report to any of the format there you find your charts, strange!!! Try exporting your report and see.
I assume you are using .NET Infoview.
Here is a solution,
It is a .Net version mismatch, change the version from 1.x to 2.x for crystalreportviewers115 virtual directory.
Steps
1. Right-click My Computer and click Manage.
2. Navigate to Services and Applications > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > Web Sites > Default Web Site.
3. Right-click crystalreportviewers115 and then click Properties.
4. On the ASP.NET tab, choose a 2.0.x version from the ASP.NET Version list.
5. Click the Apply button and then click OK.
6. Right-click businessobjects and click Properties.
7. On the Virtual Directory tab, click the Configuration button.
8. Check the path of the mappings and note the version number (in the path ...\Framework\vX.X...)
9. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for crystalreportsviewers115.
If the paths for businessobjects and crystalreportviewers115 are different, change one or the other so that they point to the same version of .NET Framework.
10. Stop and restart the Default Web Site
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Why can't I save the sender of a text to my contacts?

Whenever I get a text from someone who is not in my contacts, I can't save their phone number to my contacts. I think there used to be a button at the top of the conversaton that gave me the choice to save, but it's no longer there. Also, the manual says that all I have to do is tap the phone number, but that doesn't work. Anyone know what's going on and how do I save these people to my contacts without having to cut and paste? Thanks!

Any idea what that is?
Thanks so much,

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why can't I save the changes I've made to a .vit?

I've created and saved a .vit file that's called from a another .vi.
Then, i went back and tweaked the .vit file (and saved it as the original .vit filename), this ran fine by itself.
But, when i call this file from the 'main' .vi, those changes didn't show up, it was still the original file.
I'm very sure i saved the changes under the proper file name and extension, what am i missing?

In your "main" vi, how exactly are you caling the vit? Are sure you are calling the vit, or a vi instance created from the vit? Mike...

What happens to the form I created with free trial when I upgrade?

I signed up for a free AdobeForms account 6 months ago. In that time I created a really detailed form. I am still able to access the account and the form to this day without any problems. However I now want to upgrade my account so I can do more with the form I created with the free account.
What will happen to my existing form when I upgrade my AdobeForms account to paid subscription? I am assuming it would just remain in my account. However when my secretary called to order the full subscription, the sales rep suggested that the existing form created via the trial would be wiped-out upon upgrading the account.
Is this true/accurate? I do not want to lose the form I have already perfected when upgrading.
Thank you for any info!!

Thanks! Ok... well we're going to order the full subscription now, I made a PDF backup of the web form in case, but really looking forward to not losing the designed form.

Can't open a reader extended pdf in IE

I have a form that was originally a word document and then converted to a pdf. I used Acrobat X Pro to create form fields and then saved it as a reader extended pdf with enabled additional features. I uploaded it to my web server and it opens fine in Google Chrome & Firefox, but when I try to open it with internet explorer I get a Runtime Error! message.
I uploaded it without the reader extended features and had the same result. I then uploaded the original converted pdf before I added the form fields and it opens fine in internet explorer. I am using Windows 7 and IE 8. I checked with someone using XP and IE 8 and they were able to open it with no problems. Not sure about Vista, but it seems there is something with Windows 7 using IE 8 and the form fields that is causing the problem. Can anyone help?
thanks

i forgot to add the links to the pages.
