Hello all,
I apologise if this issue has already been posted/answered, but I've been having real trouble browsing the Adobe forums for the few days (slow page loading time etc) so haven't really been able to check.
Anyway, onto my question, I want to create a button on my form that will save the form data as an xml file. I've checked out this document:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_schema_tip.pdf
Which shows how to do it, and that solution works fine if the user is using Acrobat Pro, but when I test it with users running Adobe Reader the button does not work (no error message - it just doesn't do anything).
So my question is, is there a way (using the above method or otherwise) for me to put a button on my form that will allow an Adobe Reader use to save the form data as xml?
I'm using LiveCycle Designer 8.2.
Thanks
Matt

To be able to save the data out of Reader you must Reader extend the form.

Hi Paul,
I have tried that (in Acrobat went to Advanced --> Extend Features in Adobe Reader...) but the button still doesn't work even after doing this.
Do you have any other idea what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks

The functionality in Acrobat only allows you to save the completed PDF not the data. You need LiveCycle Reader Extensions server for that. Acrobat only provides a subset of all Reader Extensions functionality. It will only allow digital Signatures, commenting and local save of the PDF.

Hi Radhika,
A bit of an old thread you have found, but I do have a copy of that document which I have uploaded to;
