Hi,

We have developed Adobe Interactive form uisng Adobe LiveCycle Designer. After creating pdf, whenever I change data in the interacvie form, it is poping up "Save As" dialouge box everytime user saves data. So User is replacing the same file again and again. Is there any setting to get rid of this error?

OS: Windows 7

Adobe Reader: 10.0.1

Hi,

you cannot suppress the save function but you can avoid that the PDF viewer recognizes changes.

Put this script in the layout:Ready event of your form.

event.target.dirty = "false";

Thanks for your swift reply.

After I add this code, will it allow user to save the Interactive form or the complete save functionality will be removed?

As I said before, you cannot deactivate the save function.

This script will only reset the dirty flag, so the PDF viewer doesn't ask you to save changes when you close the file.
