Ok I have some form that were create in LifeCycle Desinger. Now I have found some code that I would like to use that saves the form with a particular name by bookmarks in the document. Now the problem is I cannot A: Add book marks to form fields, and B: get the script to use the information placed in those fields for the name. Below is a link to the website I am getting the script from, and the second link is the actual one I am using. I am sure this is simple, but it is kicking my butt. Thanks for any help.

The site you are looking at applies to forms created using Acrobat's 'Form Tools' (AcroForm) and not forms created with LiveCycle Designer.

How do I use the Acroform to work on these forms then. Is there a way to open them using that and not lifecycle.

The technology behind the forms are different and not very compatible at the form level. Once a form is started in LiveCycle Designer, there are very few feature of Acrobat that can be used. A form started in Acrobat can be edited in LiveCycle Designer, but all interactive JavaScript will be deactivated and have to be rewritten for a LiveCycle Designer form.

You can edit a form in Acrobat by using the 'Form Toolbar', "View => Toolbars => Forms", or run the 'Form Field Recognition' program.

Ok I have recreated the form using The form feature in acrobat and not livecycle. How do I add book marks to certain fields so that the code above will work. Thanks.
