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?

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.

Thanks to everyone who helped on this. You are awesome. Especially Ned!! Posted here because I was unable to add more to the existing post.
Here is the question:
When you click on the reset button, this error below comes up. If you can't find the button it is the navy colored rectangular thing in the lower left corner of page.
ArgumentError: Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.

Here is the answer:
//when you click the reset button everything is removed from the stage
    //except the star, baclground, and reset button (trees and greeting REMOVED)
    public function onClear(Event:MouseEvent):void
            if (tree3) removeChild(tree3);
            if (tree2) removeChild(tree2);
            if (webText) removeChild(webText);
            if (tree) removeChild(tree);
            clickCount = 0;

This is the answer to what to put in the onclear function.

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

Sennheiser MM50s with iPhone - can't get the voice button to work :(

Can anybody advise?
I am on the latest iPhone OS. The headphones are brand new and sound great - but the voice/music control button does nothing but switch one speaker off while I hold it.
Any advice welcome. I've cleaned the earbud socket with surgical spirit and my original headset works perfectly.
Thanks.
Steve

Sorry if my answer confused.
I don't mean you need to use excessive force to push it home, but I do need to make sure the connector is all the way in and that it's easy to leave it nearly-but-not-quite home, and when that's the case the mic button doesn't work.
I've just tried quantifying it. From the front of the iPhone, when the headphones are all the way in there's no more than 0.5mm of gold connector showing. But with as little as 1.0mm showing, the mic button doesn't work, although sound does in both ears (and sometimes it's louder than normal too).
(Because of the curve on the iPhone, there's a good 1-2MM of connector showing at the back even when fully inserted)
If you're confident the connector is as far in as it'll go without damaging something, then it sounds like you've got either something in the connector slot of the iPhone or duff headphones. Do the buttons on the stock iPhone headphones work for you? That would narrow down the problem for you...
PS: you don't need to push-and-hold; that launches Voice Control. A short but confident stab should play/pause; two quick pushes will skip a track, and 3 quick ones will go back to the start of the current track or go to the previous track if you were already near the start. I found the button on the MM50s a bit un-ergonomic in position and operation to start with but I'm getting more confident with knowing I've hit it now. There can be a 1-2 second delay between hitting the button and getting an effect though.

Hello:
Thank you for responding so quickly.
I have added child and it has removed the error. However, the button icon has disappeared as you can see when you play the .swf and the reset button doesn't clear the stage of everything but the star and the back ground.

How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click? (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2. Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing. Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad. IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad. Any help would be greatly appeciated. Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

How can I get my home button to work again

How can I get my home button to work again

Well, if your Home button is broken, you won't be able to reset your phone, and if the Sleep/Wake button won't turn your phone on, it's a trip to the Apple store.

Hello, so today I realized that my iPhone with iOS 6 is frozen on the music. I can get back to the home screen but I can't get the music player to work because its frozen on the w's and will not respond to touch. I would be grateful for any help on this.

Hi deamayfield,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Music app is unresponsive, try restarting/resetting your iPhone:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately the Apple TV doesn't have a web browser so you can't do that.

I have a MacBook, made in 2010. I can't get the eject function to work. I have a DVD in now and want to eject it and put another one in. Command-E, dragging it to the trash or Find-Eject does not work. Ideas?

Hi there. Hear are some other options . Hold down for click on the track pad while restarting and keep it down all the way thru boot. Or use right click on a mouse. If it's stuck, sometimes sticking a business card in top edge of slot while trying the eject option can work.
