URL for configuration in HTTP SUBMIT button --urgent

Hi All,
I am in development of a urgent interactive form and I am new this. My aim is to build a interactive form ( SFP) and then place a HTTP Submit button and post the data back .
I went through the documentation and understood that W can send data in XML format back and in the server end we need to write the program to read it .. Writing progaram is ok for me . but I need to know What is the URL I in the HTTP button ( is it IP of the server ) or some other details .. how will this trigger my custom code ...
Regards
Abhilash

Hi Abhilash,
URL is url of your page, for example http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.htm. You can read more in Adobe LiveCycle Designer Help. Nevertheless the control Button from group Standard is better. Set property Control Type in tab Field to Submit and then fill new tab Submit.
If you use WebDynpro for online scenario you needn't this buttons. In such case use a button Submit from the group Web Dynpro ActiveX (if you use xACF layout) or a button Submit from the group Web Dynpro Native (if you use ZCI layout).

HTTP Submit Button - How to post data to an IIS Server

Hello,
I have created a simple form in LiveCycle designer. The form only has some check boxes, radio buttons and text fields for users to fill out. Everyone in my office is on webmail so the Email Submit button is not a smooth option for getting the xml data back to me.
I would like to use the HTTP Submit button to allow users to submit their form data back to me but I am having trouble. I would like the xml files to end up in a directory on the web server.
I set up an IIS 6 server and granted the Write right to the anonymous web user account. When I fill out the PDF form and click the HTTP Submit button it doesn't seem to work. Are there any special configuration changes I need to make to my IIS server to allow this data to be posted?
Should this plan work? Should I be able to have users use the HTTP Submit button to post their data right to my IIS web server or is there some Adobe server I need to buy for this simple form? Also, I noticed that when I configure a standard button and set the Control Type to "Submit", there is an option on the Submit Tab to change the Submit As setting to "PDF". Does this mean that my users can fill out my form with Acrobat Reader and HTTP Submit the form to my web server as a PDF complete with their data? If not that's fine, I would be sufficiently happy if the users could post their XML files to the web server so I can open them in the form with Acrobat Professional.
I am lost and would appreciate any good feedback.
Thanks,
Steve

I think the problem may be missing what "submit" means. Submitting a
PDF form, like submitting an HTML form, sends information to a web
program or script, like an ASP, a CGI or a PHP. It does not just "save
to the server", which seems to be what you are trying to do.
Do you have the LiveCycle Form Manager product? If not I recommend the
LiveCycle Designer forum: more folk there to help.

I'd also be happy if this could work with Apache; it doesn't need to be IIS. I guess my main issue is that I don't know how to get either web werver to accept data in an HTTP post and save it as a file.
Also, I noticed that when I configure a standard button and set the Control Type to "Submit", there is an option on the Submit Tab to change the Submit As setting to "PDF".

HI again,
I want to have a pdf fillable form opened on a link.Once user has entered data, the user clicks a button(or some action to invoke saving). At this point I want the filled pdf file to be saved on a certain directory.
How can save a filled pdf form in pdf format on a certain directory?
Is it possible to dynamically give the final pdf a name so that it doesnt overwrite everytime it saves the file?

HTTP Submit Button (beginner question)

I have been working with livecycle for a week or so now and got most of the program down. I have a simple form that uses about 10 text box fields that I want to have on a website say www.thisismysite.com/info.pdf now some where on that pdf there is a submit button that links to a url. Is there a way to have the form be submitted via e-mail through http or have it dump onto a database somewhere on my iis server? That way I would be able to compile all the data from xml form into the appropriate pdf and populate all the fields? Similar to an aspx submit form that submits via e-mail.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. (I dont want it to be email submit button because the person who submits would have to have an email client such as outlook and thats how we currently do it.)

Welcome the LiveCycle! There is under the "Standard" section of the Object Library a HTTP Submit Button that you can place, with this you would be able to point the document towards a URL (the database location on your server) where you would like the form to be sent upon submission.

HTTP Submit Button vs event.target.submitForm

Dear All,
I have a problem that looks like I would need some expert help to resove.
I have designed a small Form with Acrobat LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2
The plan is people to fill out the form and submit it to a script on a web page.
Here is the problem.
When I insert a regular HTTPSubmit button. Everithing is working just fine. All th fields are submited, and I can process them from there with my script.
However, when I try to make a regular button and add javascript to the click event.
event.target.submitForm({cURL: "http://mysite/myscript.php", cSubmitAs:"HTML", cCharSet:"utf-8"});
The form is submited but non of the fields are.
As an example output from REQUEST array in PHP.
With the regular HTTP Submit button I get:
Array
    [familyname] => 1
    [SubjectNumber] => 2
    [Site] => 3
While with the above javascript I get:
Array
    [form1] => Array
            [0] =>
Looks like with the Javascript I somehow cannot submit the actuall fields.
Finally, let me tell you the reason why I even want to use Javascript instead of the regular HTTP Submit button.
My plan is so people can actually change the location where to submit the form.
From what I read if I use a regluar submit button, the URL must be hardcoded and cannot be changed (selected, by the user dinamically)
While if I use javascript then I can easily have a text field where people can enter the site where they want to submit the form and use it.
Thank you very much for your help
Please let me know if you need any further information
Regards
Tsvyatko

Hey gays, thanks for answering.
However, looks like I still have problems.
When I insert a regluar HTTP submit button, it asks for the URL or it will give error.
Anyhow, if I leave the URL setting blank, and try to execute the code u mentioned, I get a messege, "submit canceled" and nothing is happening,
And if I enter something in the URL, looks like it still overites the code and submits the form the the hard coeded url.
In addition, the regular submit button does not even allow me to enter code in the click even, so I did enterend in the mose in even,
as to execute the code before the button is clicked.
In addition I also tried to enter the even in a text field exit which I was hoping to use so the user can enter their own url.
In other words.
could please be more specific.
On which even shown I enter the code.
p.s.
Finaly,
in Form Calc
If I enter this on the mouse enter of the button:
form1.SCOPA_p2.HTTPSubmitButton1.event__click.#submit.#target = form1.SCOPA_p2.HTTPSubmitButton1_txt.rawValue;
I get error accessor form1.SCOPA_p2.HTTPSubmitButton1.event__click.#submit.#target is unknown
Any other thoughts
Thanks

More information regarding HTTP Submit button

Hello All ,
I am trying to learn the fucntionalities of a HTTP Submit button . I have designed a simple form which contains only one text field which will be used to enter the UserID .After entering the User ID the user has to click on the submit button . In the URL I have given the address of the server which is on another system . I have created a simple table in MySQL 5 which contains only one column as the UserID.I have no IIS installed in my system . So after clicking the submit button the data is not upadted in the table . And some weird results are shown . I have not used any data binding here . I am totally confused . What should I do ?? Any suggestions ??
Thanks .
Bibhu .

Well, if you can surf to http://localhost, it means you already have a webserver running. Otherwise, you will have to install one. There's a variety of options besides IIS: Apache and Lighthttp are both free and open-source.

I've set up an event and published it, but it won't allow for registrations. The SUBMIT button is grayed out. Thoughts?

I've set up an event and published it, but it won't allow for registrations. The SUBMIT button is grayed out. Thoughts?

The submit button is greyed out in case the registration page is being viewed in preview mode.
Please check if the following string is present in the event registration URL:
"preview=true"
If it is present, please try by removing this string.

HTTP submit button

Hi all,
I am new to designer and am working to change our static PDF files to interactive ones. The goal would be for a user to fill out the form then submit it to our website, which would place it in a database. I am running IIS 5.0 and have used ASP, but am not sure what form the PDF information will take or how to make use of it. Any suggestions or hints would be very appriciated.

Hi folks,
I seem to be having a similar problem... I'm using Adobe Designer 7 to create a form and submit it to a script on my web server, where I will capture the POSTed data. I'm experimenting with target scripts written in ColdFusion MX and PHP 5.
I too get POST data in an "annoying format," and had to dump it out as a lump to figure out what was going on. Normally, I'd have access to form field values by referencing them like so, in ColdFusion and PHP respectively:
#form.myfieldname#
$_POST["myfieldname"]
The fieldnames I get from the Acrobat form looks like this:
FORM1[0].MYFORMNAME[0].MYFIELDNAME[0]
ColdFusion will allow me to get at the field value by using this as a key, but PHP chokes--it seems to interpret the POST data as an array with a single, apparently empty element.
I've made sure that the Acrobat form's submit button is configured to send POST data, and I've tried every manipulation I can think of to get it to send differently. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to clean this up?
TIA,
Nick.

Hi Viorel
Thanks for your response,
This is occurring in most of the websites and also you can observe the same error in "http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie" and you can observe it in IE11 browser only. please check the attached screenshot. ( http://screencast.com/t/jBez3nNpbfF )
I have checked with different machine and get the same issue. i think my
Internet Explorer is up to date, you can also check it once by enabling the console (F12).

Using script in a dummy submit button to check for digital signature

Is it possible to add script to a dummy submit button to stop it from submitting if a signature field is not signed? Perhaps adding something like what I have below. I know the syntax isn't right. I just haven't been able to get it to work. Thanks.
if (SignatureField1 == null)
xfa.host.messageBox("Please digitally sign before clicking Submit!");

Thanks, I took a look at that. I couldn't make that solution work for me because there are four submit buttons in my form, as it passes through several reviewers. So what I had to do is enter the code below into the Click event for each section's Submit button, so that it at least gives a reminder to sign before submitting. It doesn't stop the e-mail from popping up, though, unfortunately.
var oState = event.target.getField("form1[0].Page4[0].DeptReview[0].EA_Signature[0]").signatureValidat e()
if (oState == 0)
xfa.host.messageBox("You have not signed the form. \n\nPlease click OK and then click the signature field to sign the form. \n\nThank you!");

Http Submit Form Button to New Window

Hello,
Does anyone know how to make a HTTP Submit Button open in a new window rather than the same window?
I have a form that I need the user to print off as well as click a link so they can pay with Paypal. The problem is that if the user clicks the pay with paypal button before the print button, they will lose all of their data in the form.
Here is the form if needed: http://staging.ebizresults.info/wsra-pdf/membership_flat.pdf
Any help would be great. I am using Acrobat 8.
Thanks,
Pat

Somethings I forgot to mention. First, I'm fairly new to Acrobat, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.
Second, I imported HTML code into Acrobat to get the form. Then I opened the form in LiveCycle because I didn't know how to get the email buttons and submit buttons on the page. So, I am working with a flattened PDF.
I'm not sure if this make a difference or not, but it's a button not a link.
I still have the unflattened pdf available to me. Is it in my best interest to avoid flattening the file? If this is the case, any advise on making submit buttons and whatnot myself?
Thanks,
Pat
