I tried to submit an interactive PDF form, but received a message: Error opening URL to submit the form. My form is created in InDesign cs6 and exported to interactive PDF with text fields. any one has some tips to deal wiith this?

Did you get this resolved? I am doing the same thing, passing in a url to the submitForm method via cURL. I am submitting as FDF, and specifying the #FDF at end of URL.
Currently working against a localhost url, which is allowed and trusted in acrobat to rule out the enhanced security of the reader.
Any ideas?

"error opening url to submit this form"

Hi,

when I was click on Submit button than I got the Error message
Error opening url to submit this form
I set the return type XFDF on button.
How can I fix this bug?

To which URL are you trying to submit it?

Filling in a PDF Form, but get "Error opening URL to submit this form" when I try to submit

I was able to fill in the form with Adobe Reader, but when I tried to Submit the form another box popped up that said "Error opening URL to submit this form." What can I do to fix this?

Nothing. Report it to the form's authors.

Can anyone help with "Error opening URL to submit this form"?

I am running Adobe Reader 11 and I am on Windows 8. I cannot get a form completed for a client in their portal. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's Adobe Reader. It says it on the top of the page.
Here's the info I am getting in the error message, through Javascript Debugger anyway:
Acrobat EScript Built-in Functions Version 11.0
Acrobat SOAP 11.0
RaiseError: Error opening URL to submit this form
Doc.submitForm:2:Field btnSubmit:Mouse Up

As the creator of an interactive PDF form, can I block users from opening it in Preview or web?

I have created a number of interactive PDF application forms which are downloaded from our website and completed by individuals and organisations who wish to apply for funding.
Increasingly we are being contacted by people who are having trouble completing, saving and printing the forms. In almost every case it turns out that they have opened/filled in the form in Preview or in their web browser and the form has been corrupted. As Macs become more and more popular this is going to become a bigger issue, to the point where we may not be able to use interactive PDFs anymore.
We do have a warning at the top of the first page of each form telling people that they need to complete their form using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, with a hyper-link to the web page to download Adobe Reader for free. But this obviously isn't sufficient given the number of people who are still trying to access and complete the forms in Preview.
What I want to know is if there is any way, as the creator of the form, that I can stop it from being opened in Preview in the first place? Or failing that, if it is possible to create a warning that pops up if the form in opened in Preview or a web browser?
If this can't be done I will need to include a detailed technical help page in the form. Rather than starting from scratch, if anyone has already pulled this information together and would be happy to share it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help (in advance)
Rachel

You can't prevent it from opening, but you can active the form only if it's being used in a JavaScript-capable viewer. You could show a message (e.g., button, layer) by default, and get rid of it if a script that runs when the form is opened is executed. The script could also enable the fields if everything checks out.

Error opening URL to submit form

I keep getting this when I check my compatible setting on my clients portal system. I am not tech savvy. Its coming from Adobe Reader. Anyone have any ideas? I can't submit some of my clients forms back to them after I've filled them out, and their support says to contact Adobe. I am getting no where fast.

Are you positive that Adobe Reader is being used and not the MS reader that comes with Windows 8?

Not able to assemble two interactive PDF forms to form a single interactive PDF

Hi,
I am trying to assemble two interactive PDF forms to form a single PDF. I am using LiveCycle process with Assembler and Invoke ddx file for this. But the resultant PDF is a flattened non interactive file.
Please guide me in obtaining a interactive PDF from two interactive PDFs.
Thanks in Advance,
Shabeer

Sabeer,
type of output document depends on the type of base document.
if base document is flatten\non-intractive, then you will recieve flatten\non-intractive form nd vise versa
ddx,
<PDF result="doc3.pdf" >
<PDF source="doc1.pdf"/> 
<PDF source="doc2.pdf"/>
</PDF>

Digital Signature Interactive PDF form

Hi
I am Trying to make an Interactive PDF form with a functionality to Display and hide Specific Fields Using a Button
Is It possible to Digitally Sign such a PDF
If it is
Will the signature be removed once i Activate the Interactive Functionality from the form of Display\Hide a field ?

To further elaborate:
There is some general Java documentation in the SAP library on digitally signing a document with SSF:-
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/a4/d0201854fb6a4cb9545892b49d4851/content.htm
Questions though:
(1) If I sign with the SSF classes will this then prevent the popup "Uncertified document" appearing in ACROBAT reader? The PDFs that the UI interactive form produces are not pure XML streams are they? As far as I can ascertain SSF is not suitable for signing PDFs!
(2) At which event would one sign the pdfSource context node for an interactive form created in the web dynpro environment? At method WDoInit of the PDF view the pdfSource context node is still null.
Thanks again,
Jonathan

Interactive PDF Form Speed Issues

Hello! I am looking for some info for an interactive PDF form issue.
A little info on the form:
Created in Acrobat PRO 9.4.5, Windows.
File Size: 559KB
Ultimately the file is placed up on a website, it is 3 pages with a colored background on each page and a lineart logo. It has text fields for things like name, phone etc., has some radio buttons, drop-downs, two links to other pages within the site and two links to other PDF docs. It does not have a flowable layout and is only being populated by the end user. The form has buttons on the bottom to email, print, save & clear the form.
The form tested fine from our file servers and/or local machines, the client had no issues testing when we sent them the files. We start to get into issues once the file was posted on their site and the results from testing vary significantly as I would suspect can be somewhat expected due to machine, browser, Acrobat and/or Reader variances etc. but maybe there is something we can do to improve how it functions(?)
Some end-users have come back saying that the form takes a while until they can enter text in any of the fields following their first click in one of the form fields to begin using the form. Also commented on was that the PDF pages scroll slowly as they move further down the page. We do not have any details about any browser versions, settings etc. and also did not receive this feedback directly.
Internal testing we have found some of the following accessing the form from their site (the site is a DNN site using a file handling module),
I am going to try and limit the info below as it could get very lengthy w/ all the various outcomes:
I did not have any issues on first click or scrolling in either IE8 or Firefox4, I do however have some slowness when I click the links that go to other pages on their site and also the links to the other PDF documents (I can only get this to occur when I am accessing the form through the link on their site it does not occur when I test any other way either locally from my desktop, our file server or even when I right click the file that resides on the web server and open w/ either of my browsers).
A co-worker tested every which way and could not get any slowness at all any way that she tried. Another tested and found IE on their machine to have the hangups but not Firefox. And a third had the initial click slowness (but also said he had that when he saved the file from the site to his desktop and opened it), please note browser & Reader/Acrobat versions probably vary from each person testing.
What I am feeling is that the form itself is ok just that the user variances can produce different outcomes but I just want to check and see if anyone else has had anything similar or has any suggestions to maybe "speed" the form up covering a variety of users.
Thanks very much!
Robin

When you fix it in Acrobat, what you want to do specifically is remove whatever action is present in the button and add a "Submit a form" action to the Mouse Up event. Specify that you want to submit the entire PDF and use the mailto URL you showed earlier, making sure there are no spaces.
For it to work in desktop versions of Reader prior to 11, you need to Reader-enabled the document by selecting: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
The button won't work with the native iOS PDF viewer, but certain other PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader and Readdle's PDF Expert allow you to email a filled-in form and will support the button action.

When clicking the Signature box in an interactive PDF form IE crashes.

When we click on the Signature box in an interactive PDF form loaded inside Internet Explorer, it will crash the browser with a message "Internet Explorer has stopped working."
We have tried:
-this on PDF forms created with Adobe Acrobat Professional X and XI
-loaded the forms on Windows 7 IE 8 and IE 9
-Adobe Reader X and XI
-loaded IE in no add-ons mode
and the issue still persists. We believe there is an issue with how Internet Explorer and Adobe are communicating but don't understand why clicking inside the Signature box, IE crashes? Any thoughts? Is this related to some kind of Windows update that is impacting the ability to sign PDFs when loaded inside IE browser?

I will not be able to upload any forms as it is propietary information, but here are the steps taken to create the form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X or XI:
Open the PDF in Adobe Pro and click Tools.
In the Forms menu, click Edit.
Click Add New Field > Text Field.
Place the field on the document and edit the field name with the text [MAGICWORD]. This is a magic word that allows the signed form to be saved in the right location.
Click the All Properties link.
Change the Form Field from Visible to Hidden but Printable under Common Properties.
To add other visible magic word fields (optional), click Add New Field > Text Field.
Click Add New Field > Digital Signature.
Click Add New Field > Button.
Click the All Properties link.
Click the Actions tab.
Under Add an Action:
Select Trigger – Select Mouse Down.
Select Action – Select Submit a form.
Click Add.
Enter the URL:(https://anythingcangohere.com)
This enables the signed form to be submitted and saved in the right location.
Under Export Format, select PDF The complete document.
Click OK.
To add a label to the button, click the Options tab.
Label: – Enter Submit to athenaNet or Submit.
Click Close.
