I received an email from my IS department about a change I did to a document. I altered the original in LiveCycle. The person asked about search criteria. I am not aware of how to do this. I have copied and pasted the email I received. If you need further info from me let me know. I do not work in the IS dept. My technical experience is not that good. This is a hospital setting. I am an RN who enjoys Adobe Acrobat and does things to help people out that is why my knowledge base is limited. I have not locked any type of form. Thanks Dan Here is the clip "Dan, you have some type of a lock on this form?
I have copied it into the database but it won't allow me to update the document properties to add search criteria. Without that the staff can't search for the this document and will have no access to it whatsoever."
Since you created your form in Adobe Designer, the Document Properties are inaccessible by an Acrobat user. You didn't do anything wrong. This is one of the problems one experiences with editing LCD forms in Acrobat.
Inform your IT department that any form created in LiveCycle Designer can't be edited in Acrobat (for just about everything). It's the natue of the beast.
