Can Designer create a submit button that works in Acrobat Reader

Just got Adobe Professional 7.0 for Windows XP. Was able to design a form in Professional that works in Acrobat Reader (the majority of my users do not have the full product). To do this I set the email button to export the data in a .fdf format. I received the full form as an attachment in my email.
I then brought up the form in Designer 7.0 to use its expanded design capability. The button choices for the email submit button did not allow me to select a format and the saved file would not work in Adobe Reader. I then changed the button to a plain button using the submit control type. I found several submit format choices (XML, PDF, etc.). I saved the file in a variety of the choices but could not get Adobe Reader to send the format versions. FDF was not a choice. XML works but I would rather see the full form directly as an email attachment instead of taking the extra step of importing the XML data into the form
Anybody have a work around?

Andrej -
Can you be more specific about what is needed and how to do it? I just downloaded the trial version of Designer and Document Server 6. I've created the form with a submit button but it ain't working.
I want the "Submit by email" button to do just that - send the viewable .pdf (not just the data).
To take a step back - I can't even get the darn button to send anything. I have the info entered correctly in Designer but when the buttons clicked, an error msg. reads: "An error occured while sending mail". That tells me a whole lot of nothing. Is it because it's the trial version, or is there something else going on?
Anyway can you explain how to use Reader Extension Server in conjunction with Designer?
Thanks -
Dewey

How can I create a submit button that only saves?

Our end users will save the completed form and later upload it to anotherg place. I created a save button that works fine, but without a Submit button there is nothing to trigger the reminder to go back and answer required questions. I don't want to lose that part. Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer!

Would something like this work for you?
var OKToSave = true;
if (tfSomething.isNull) {
tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
OKToSave = false;
else tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
if (!OKToSave) app.alert("Please fill in all required fields");
else app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

Can't get the Submit button to work on Acrobat X

I was having this problem on Acrobat 9 and so I bit the bullet and upgraded, hoping the problem would go away, but it did not.
I have a simple form for an event which recipients will fill out and submit, emailing the entirePDF to others (not to me)
I've done these forms a zillion times, no problemo, but this is the first time I've tried since upgrading from Entourage email to Outlook, and I have a sneaking suspicion the problem lies there somehow.
Can install the button, all fine, but when I click it to test, I get this message:
"An error occured while trying to create a mail document. Acrobat is unable to complete your request."
Anybody know what I can do to fix this?
signed,
Desperate

I gave up on the 'Submit' button long ago, as have others, I suspect.
It fails in about half of the cases.
Now I place a note at the top of the form instructing users how to manually attach the form to an email in case the button doesn't work – it's ridiculous. Thinking about it, it would be more clean-cut to get rid of the button alltogether.
I also keep getting requests to provide forms as Word documents instead. Apparently people are way more comfortable with Word than willing to deal with idiosyncrasies in PDFs.

Create Email/Submit button that asks the user what email address to submit to

Is it possible to have an Email/Submit button that will ask for the users to imput the email address in which to submit to?

My own opinion is that you are going to tick off more people than you realize. I think you can handle this in one of a few better ways:
1) Institute an interface/web service where the HR system can send you people that are terminated. If the person has sensitive company data or anything on your site it would be in their best interest to remove their access.
2) Force password resets every x days. To reset a password, your page can send the link to their email. That way they have to establish they still work there to reset it.
3) Along the lines of #2, just make them verify their account every x days. If they don't do it within a week timespan, lock their account until they can prove they work there.
I mean unless you're dealing with top secret information, if someone gets a few extra days of your service its not a big deal. You have to balance the user experience with the reality that someone may get your service for free for a bit.
I can still get into My Oracle Support with my old email address. I obviously would not dare to put in a ticket, but I can view bug notes, knowledge base..etc. So it happens.

Can I use a submit button that will automatically flatten and open up the save as screen?

Hello,
I'm working with forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I want the submit button to flatten the document then open the save as screen. I know I can print to pdf and this automatically will open that screen, but these forms are going to be used with tablets that may or may not have the "print to adobe" as an option. Is there another way to flatten? I know the PDF Optimizer will do that too, but it isn't an executable option in the button properties. Magic anyone? Thanks.

It depends very much on the platform and the applications used by the users of this form. If they are using non-Adobe software, all bets are off.
Also, some tablets (iPad) don't support JS, so even if they do use Adobe's Reader for the iOS, there's not much that can be done in the way of scripting.
Generally speaking: In Acrobat you can flatten the form, but in Reader that's not possible. What you can do, though, is create a function that makes the form fields read-only, thus preventing the user from editing them after having submitted the file.

How can I creat a control button that will allow the vi to run?

Instead of pressing the run button, I want to creat my own run button that will allow my vi to run.
Any idea?
Thank you

First you need to set the VI to Run When Opened (VI Properties>Execution). Then you create a front panel Boolean. On the diagram what you need to do is have some sort of idle state where nothing is done until the Boolean is pressed. It could be a separate while loop that doesn't exit until the Boolean is pressed, an Event Structure, or as part of a state machine. Look at the shippings examples Queued Message Handler, New Event Handler, Using Buttons for Options to name just a few.

Anyone has faced such problem? How can I solve it?

Created "submit" button not working with Reader

I have created a submit button that will submit an email based off dropdown menu selection. While it works great on my computer (Pro). A user with Reader (9.0) can fill out everything until the (java created) submit button. The user computer hangs... Any ideas of what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Jo

Thanks for the feedback, I figured it out. Silly me, didn't have the form user-enabled.

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?

Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Firefox frequently freezes. I can't click on anything (tabs, menu buttons, bookmarks, etc.) The only button that works is the upper right close button which when clicked will ask me if I want to "save & quit." Then I have to restart. Help fixing this?

Frequently when I use Firefox it will all of a sudden freeze. It no longer will accept any user input from the keyboard or mouse. I cannot click on any of the open tabbed pages I have or on my bookmarks or any of the menu buttons. Nothing works. When it happens if it is loading a page it will just freeze in the middle of loading it. I've tried to see if the freezes are caused when it loads certain types of content (java, flash, etc...) but there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when it happens or with what types of pages. I cannot find a pattern. The ONLY button that works is the close button in the upper right hand corner (X). I can click on that and then Firefox will prompt me with it's regular message asking me if I want to save and quit, quit, or cancel. I'll hit save and quit and then reopen Firefox. It opens my tabs and if I was in the middle of a post it generally will still remember the text I've typed (except Facebook!).
It's beginning to drive me nuts and I'm really hoping to find a fix to this.

You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon.
