Saving PDF Form locally along with the entered data

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are trying to create an offline form in NWDS with embedded Adobe Livecycle 7.1. Since this is for offline scenario, we would like the users to be able to save the form on their local computer. Also, users should be able to save <b> any data they have entered</b> in the form; and then submit the form whenever they are ready.

Our issue is that there is no “Save” button on the PDF form? We have tested with Adobe reader 7 and 8. Is there a configuration that we are missing in ADS?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Robby

Hi Robby,

Have you check in the menu of Adobe document, here you should find 'SAVE' or 'SAVE AS' function .

Also when you generate your form, do you set it as "FILLABLE" in sfpdocparams attributes ?

Hope it's help .

Best regards.

My offline forms works fine , user have to go to the menu to save it then they can send it back by mail and it's proceed by SAP without any problem .

I can understand your problem. You might not have done the data mapping.

once you do the data mapping. You can easiliy save the PDF.

Please reply if you are facing any other problem. I am sure I can provide you some pointer in this.
