I made a form to use as a yearbook page template and sent it out to classmates to fill out.
After having received some back I've realized that I need to adjust some limitations in the text fields I made for a few of the documents, but if I open any of the forms with livecycle it looses all of the text and pictures that were submitted in that form.
Is there a way to change field setting, either in acrobat or livecycle without loosing all of the data that was submitted?
Thank you for your help,
Aaron
But Yes, there is a simple way to perserve the data. Export the data from all the forms with the "Forms > Manage Form Data > export" menu item. Now the data is completely separate from the form template and saved. Make the modifications you need with LiveCycle Designer and then re-import the data.Thom Parker
