Form save problem

Avatar

Level 4

Hi there

I have designed a fillable form and included a save button function with the following javascript app.ExecMenuItem("SaveAs");

When I preview the form in Acrobat / Reader and extend the rights, I  click the save button and it prompts me to save it as an xml file.  What I want the user to be able to do is save my form as a complete PDF with their saved data so that they do not have to import tehir xml data.

The odd thing is that when I test the button in Livecycle preview mode and save a copy it does exactly what I want it to do and I can re-open the saved form with the data completed.

Can anyone help with fixing this in Reader / Acrobat?

Many thanks

If you are using Reader the file must be Reader Extended to do a local save with data. My guess is that when you do the preview you are using Acrobat.
