Saving data in a form

Avatar

Former Community Member
I have a form I created to do some weekly reports and I have added the print and reset button, but I am wanting to save the form/data to the local machine that it is used on and I have been unable to figure/find anything on doing that or if it is possible....



I would say I'am a novice with LifeCycle, so any help would be greatly appreciated,,,,,,,,,,

P.S.



The user has to enter the data by hand

Are you using Reader or Acrobat. If you only use Reader, you'll need to Reader Extend the form.

There is a service in LiveCycle called Reader Extension service. You can use that to add the rights.



You'll need a Reader Extension certificate to do that though. You can also Reader Enable a form using Acrobat for a limited number of users (see acrobat help).

Thanks for the help I think the Reader enable in Acrobat will work out just fine, I will have to remind them to "save as" the document with data so they do not save over the original...



thanks again for the great help. just curious is the "Reader Extension Service" something you have to purchase through Adobe?



I found the Extension manager on CS3 and tried searching Adobe website and couldnt find anything about

you shouldn't do that. Just protect the original document (not with

Acrobat, but with standard Windows security), then they can't damage

it.

Yes you need to buy it from Adobe. It's part of the LiveCycle platform.
