Hello guys!

When the user open my form, same that it doesn´t change anything, when it try to close, the Adobe Reader alert to save changes. Why this?

Is it possible to disable?


Thank you.

Reader is giving you that message because the form is "dirty" .....something has changed. It may not be in the data but in the layout or visual aspects of the form. Do you have script that is manipulating the form upon opening?

Hello!

That´s right. It has a scritp that is manupulating when it opened.

But is there any way this message appears only when the user fill in the fields? Or, for example, automatically save the changes made by the script.

Note: With this option to save changes, I'll have trouble saving the user the wrong part of the form and send me.

Thank you Paul

Then that is what is causing the "dirty" bit to be set .....the only way to stop the message is to make sure the PDF is not "dirty".

Hi Paul.

Again, thanks for reply

Ok! But doesn´t exist any function to save automatically? For example: When will finish a function, to execute a save function.

You can do a File/Save or from code an app.execMenuItem("Save")

Hi Paul


Will it be that using the function "PreSave" will it be help me?

I ask this, because I don´t know this function.
