Acrobat 8 forms won't email

Created a form (Mac OS X) from my pdf. Made the submit button with the emailto:xxxxxxxxxx, etc and when trying it from Acrobat reader I get a dialog box saying "This operation is not permitted" What did I miss? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the prompt comments and suggestions : )
The source of the file is travelling - are there any online tools that can convert a 9 file to an 8 file?

Adobe Acrobat form created and emailed but recipient cannot save the form in reader after filling it out

When I purchased Acrobat today, the Adobe sales rep told me I could create fill-in forms that I could email to others, who could fill them out using Adobe Reader. When the recipient tried to save the completed form, he was unable to save it to his computer, only able to print. Is this correct, or is there a step we are unaware of? He owns Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but I'm using Acrobat 11 (purchased it today). Acrobat Pro 9 cannot open the forms I sent... now we are stuck.
Solutions?

Hi DMOliver,
Please try saving the form as 'Reader Extended' and check.

Acrobat Forms Cache and Emailing

I have a technical question regarding using the Auto-Complete function on Acrobat. I fill in mutiple forms with mutilple pages prior to emailing them to clients. The information being filled in is personal information and should not be accessed by anyone other than the recepient. Having the Auto-Complete function turned on would really shorten the time spent filling in the data. However, given that I email the PDF file to the client I have to ensure that they cannot see anyone elses personal data when they open the PFD to finish the form. When sending a form in which Auto-Complete is used, does any other infromation from the "Cache" go with the PDF or does it all reside on the in the "Cache" on the "C" drive?

>1. I noticed that it seems the form will save in Acrobat Reader 8 and not the Reader version 9. Why might this be?
A problem with the system that the IRS is using. They need to update to get it to work.
>2. Can a developer of software freely "redistribute" those forms in a software package? In other words, an end user can download the PDF fillable forms (such as Form 1040 or perhaps a state form, etc) but can a software developer then download those forms and then redistribute them in their own software program?
That's between the owner of the forms and the developer.
>3. What is this 500 limit all about? Is it that a form can only be "filled out" in the Acrobat Reader 500 times? Or does the 500 apply to something else?
You got the first one correct BUT, that only applies to forms created with Acrobat Pro using the newly available enabling features. The IRS for instance, uses LiveCycle Extensions for Reader which uses a server side solution for enabling forms. If you can stay under the 500 limit, you can simply enable the forms using Acrobat Pro.
>4. Where on Adobe's web site can I find this information in their licensing agreements?
You'd probably want to give customer service a call. It would be located in the two different product's EULA's which I've never seen on the site (not that they aren't there. I've just never found them.)

Form won't email, ISP won't help

Hi guys, I followed this tutorial to build a form: http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1332862 but when it comes to getting the form content emailed, the tute says to insert just a URL. And even though the tute purports to show the author's example code, it doesn't show up for me.
Well I contacted my server hosts who directed me to this page: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/403824/iseve_script.jpg (screenshot as the actual page is only accessible with log in details - hope you can read it).
So I selected my submit button, clicked on Tag Editor/Input/Events and pasted the text into the onClick event and uploaded the form.
Sadly nothing happens when I click "submit" and the server hosts will not help because they say it's a coding issue, even though they wrote the code!
If anyone has the time or inclination to go here http://12bar.co.nz/queen_entry I'd be really grateful if you could tell me where I've gone wrong with my coding. (please don't judge the design - I want to get the form working before I turn to the aesthetics).
Thanks in advance,
Jo

actually, i just looked at the link to your help guide that your hosting provider provided, and all the details are there.
change your form tag to exactly what it says in the first line of the documentation:
<form action="http://www.iserve.co.nz/scripts . . . . .
leave your form as is in the middle.
At the bottom of your form BEFORE the closing </form> tag, add all of the other lines in the documentation that say
<input TYPE="HIDDEN....
all the way down to the </form>
After you have copied all of that to the bottom of your form, change the values:
ie from VALUE="[email protected]" change this to who you want the email to be from (can be your email address)
recipient VALUE ="[email protected]" - change this to where you want the email to go
subject: VALUE="subject for the mail " - change this to whatever you want the subject to be (ie NOTICE: new message)
The last thankyou_page value is where you want the viewer to go after they submit the form. Could be your home page or any other page.
The documentation on your hosting provider's site is actually really comprehensive.
Good luck!

Acrobat 7 Pro - form won't submit via email, and data won't submit either

Hi. I am trying to create a form for end users at my website to be able to open the form in Reader, enter their data in the form, and click on the "Submit" button to email it back to me (or any other way it can come back would be okay... as long as I can get the data).
In doing some research on program software needed to do this, I came to the conclusion I needed to have the Adobe suite (Acrobat Pro 7, Distiller 7, and Designer 7), and so I spent a lot of money obtaining this software. I also have just downloaded Reader 9.0 (the most recent).
Here are some particulars:
1. Following directions Ive found on Adobe online, and the Help files as well as in this forum, in the form (in Designer), I have the Submit button going to a URL of mailto:[email protected].
2. I've saved the form as a Static PDF Form File in Designer. Things are going well.
3. The form works great in PDF Preview all form fields are setup and act correctly. Super!
4. I FTP my file to the appropriate website, where once the link to the form is clicked the form opens (in Reader) for my users. Perfect!
5. The user then opens the form, and before they start to fill it out, a popup shows this:
Sending Data Fields By Email. Please note: This form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file containing data you type into this form. However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember, you cannot save a completed copy of this form with Adobe Reader 9
Then you have the option to Dont show again and a button to Close.
6. After clicking Close, the user is then able to fill in the fields. These fields are standard fields, nothing exceptional, nothing fancy, just text.
7. At the end of the form is the Submit button. When a user clicks this, NOTHING happens. Even when you try to do the File/Send thing, the form will send, but none of the data. Im not so happy right now L
8. In this forum, I now see directions to Reader Enable in Adobe Pro (I do have Adobe Pro). The directions say Advanced/Enable Reader (as in one of the above posts is stated, 'Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader'). However, I do not have an Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader under my Advanced tab. So, continuing to read in other similar posts, I find others dont have this option either so, one question is, where is it??? ;-)
9. Now I see what appears to be another piece of Adobe software that I need, that is LiveCycle? I think Im getting in over my head, as I dont understand
I am new to all this, and am doing my best, but now Im totally confused. All I want to do is have my measly little form open up and have people fill it in and email it back to me so that I can take that data and work with it.
I run (or am trying to run) a non-profit (i.e., Im paying 100% of the bill) website for local Humane Societies who can facilitate offering online Adoption Applications (this is the form Im trying to make happen). I got the form made, and its fillable its just not being able to be submitted online; and when it DID get submitted (first try or so), it came through with no data, and the .xml file data wouldnt populate.
Bottom line question: Is this, what Im trying to do, feasible or not? Im just a simple soul trying to help out some animals. Im not a programmer, so if thats what it takes I guess Im gonna have to give up and forget it. I only wanted to help make things easer for folks to adopt a pet.
Any help by anyone would be totally and gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
keywords: empty form, form not submitting, can't email form, data not transferring, no data in form, can't submit form, can't submit data

Hi, and thank you for the reply.
I've already spent several hundred dollars on getting Adobe Acrobat software, and was hoping there was some work-around on this? What did people do before LiveCycle for instance when they needed to get data from submitted forms via email?
Please don't misunderstand, but as in my example described above, what can a 3rd party do for me (to enable more 'robust rights') that I can't do myself? I'm trying to figure out if I have the software to do it, paid for the software that is "supposed" to do it, why then I need to pay more money to someone else to make the software do what it's supposed to? I sure don't want to have to pay someone to fix it each time I need to make a change in my form for instance...
I'm confused I guess - I suppose the purpose of my asking on the forum here was to hopefully gain some know-how as how to go about doing this myself vs. paying someone else to do it for me. I want to learn, but just don't know where to start. Or, maybe the software I have just doesn't do what I believed it was capable of doing?
Guidance and/or suggestions from all on this point would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Simple Q. how to store/publish acrobat form and "return" as email attachment

New to acrobat.com and wondering if this can be done (with acrobat.com).
I have roughly 20 acrobat forms that I want to be accessible on the internet for about 5 specific people to access via the internet. The goal would be for them to click on the acrobat form, fill it out and then "return" it to me as an email attachment. The forms are not complex or long, typically 5 questions to respond to.
So, I signed up for the free buzz option, uploaded a pdf form and saved it in a shared workspace. I see the file (test.pdf) in the all files section. The downward-pointing triangular arrow next to the file gives me the option of open vs download vs share among other choices. I really just want to open, but when I try that it says"this file is a pdf form. Please download the file and use adobe reader to fill out the form and submit your responses". I then click download it then asks for a location (this will be a problem-source of confusion). I save it to a location but that location already has that file and wants to overwrite it-another problem. I quickly see that this is the wrong solution for me.
So, can this be done with acrobat.com or should I be using something like dreamweaver and a personal web site? Thanks in advance.

Hello there,
Thank you for your post. What you would like to do is most easily achieved using Acrobat desktop software; this is a well-defined workflow, using Acrobat.com to distribute forms and collect responses, and deliver these responses to the Acrobat Tracker, where you can then analyze them and sort the data. If you're on a Windows machine, I recommend downloading a free 30-day trial of Acrobat Pro software, which you can get here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/tryout.html
(Unfortunately, there is no trial available for Mac at this time.)
Beyond that, there really isn't a more streamlined way to collect form responses with Acrobat.com; the Acrobat workflow works very well, however, and I encourage you to give it a shot. Here's a video that illustrates how it works:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/?id=vid0348
Please let me know if you have any further questions about Acrobat.com, and I will be happy to answer them for you.
Best regards,
Rebecca

Acrobat Form Wizard, need to change distribution email address

When I'm using the Acrobat Form Wizard, I don't want my respondents to email me, I want them to email the Department I'm creating the form for. How do I change the email address?

I've got a PDF form, created by a client, which I'm trying to setup for email collection of completed forms.
Problem is, when I go through the steps to "distribute" the form, it never asks me what email address I'd like the completed forms sent to. And in the end, it choose my own personal email address.
Instead, I'd like to be able to specify my client's email address so he can receive the completed forms.
Can anyone tell me how to change the default address for receiving forms?
Thanks,
Jade

Contact form won't send to email

I've done this contact form loads of times and it works fine but for some reason this particular form won't send to email. The php is good so it must be my form. I'll put both bits of code up anyway. Thanks
PHP:
<?php
if ($_POST){
if (!filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'email', FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
$message="Please provide a correct email address";} else {
$name = strip_tags($_POST['name']);
$company_name = strip_tags($_POST['company_name']);
$telephone = strip_tags($_POST['telephone']);
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comments = strip_tags($_POST['comments']);
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Contact form submitted.';
$body = $name. "\n". $company_name. "\n". $telephone. "\n". $email. "\n" .$comments;
$headers = 'From: ' .$email;
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo 'Thanks for contacting us. We\'ll be in touch soon!';
} else {
$message = 'Sorry an error occurred. Please try again later.';
?>
<?php echo "<p style='color:red'>$message</p>"; ?>
HTML:
<form id="contactform" action="" method="post">
<p>Name:<br/><input name="name" type="text" required /></p>
<p>Company Name: <br/><input name="company_name" type="text" required/></p>
<p>Telephone: <br/><input name="telephone" type="tel" required/></p>
<p>Email: <br/><input name="email" type="email" required/></p>
<p>Comments: <br/><textarea name="comments" required/> </textarea></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send!" formmethod="post"/>
</form>

PEAR is a library of useful functions that is often included in a PHP installation.
BUT. . .PHP only uses the mail capabilities of the server. If the server doesn't allow it, then you may not able to send email no matter what. . .however, I am not absolutely sure of that. I have never had to work with a server that did not support mail.
SMTP is a protocol that uses an email account to send mail. You may be able to tie your mail to an external SMTP account, for instance even a GMAIL account. PHPMailer is an add-on that you can use to do this. You can install it on your website. It isn't hard to use, but it is more involved than simply using PHP mail().
But really, have a conversation with the server admin about all of this. Find out why PHP mail isn't installed, and if he is willing to install it.

Submitted forms won't get sent in an email

I've used "Forms to Go" for years to create the php-file
needed to make interactive forms for websites. These forms are the
kind the user fills out and then hits "submit" and the filled out
form will get emailed to the owner of the website. Since I started
using Dreamweaver CS3, the forms just won't email. I've done
everything the same way as before but it won't work now. Please
help me figure out how to make it work in CS3 before I lose more
clients!
I tried the brand new version of Forms to Go as well but that
didn't make any difference.
Here's a link to the page that has the form on it that won't
email. www.streetriderofreno.com/parts_form.html
Thanks a bunch,

No, have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

Help with complex Acrobat forms

Hi Everyone,
Background: I worked with another developer and completed a form for one of our clients but I need to know if the below change requests are even possible and if so if anyone would like to help with finishing the form. I am definitely willing to pay for an experts services as long as this can be done in a timely manner.
What the form is - Our client wants a form that has text fields, drop down boxes and pages where images can be placed into the file and arrows drawn on it to point where the images are located on other images (some images are store layout maps). They would like to send this file out to their store managers, have them fill it in and then they would like the completed forms sent back so all of the information that was filled in (names, store names, addresses, square footage, etc) can be gathered into a database or excel file.
What is completed so far
- Cascading drop down boxes (user clicks on first drop down and whatever is selected changes the second drop down options, etc)
- Most of the text fields for information gathering including city, state, store manager etc
- Metric unit conversion boxes
- Header text fields (read only) are used on several of the pages and are a combination of choices made in the drop down boxes and text fields.
- Page footer info including page number
- The over all layout of the pages is set
Requested changes/additions
Major must have:
- Page Addition - There is a product page in the form (page 10) and the different stores will have a different number of these products to enter into the form so is there a way to add an ADD PAGE button on the page that when pressed will copy the product page to make a new product page? Now the product page has cascading drop down form fields on it so I would want to make sure the form fields are separate iterations of the form fields not just a duplicate of what was on the product page.
- Footer adjustments - If we can do the above of adding pages then is it possible to at that point adjust the footer to reflect the page number changes? The footer shows the current page number then the form name and date.
- Gather info - What is the best way to distribute these forms so that when returned completed the information can be gathered? I tried distributing via email which seems to work ok but the files might end up being too large for email so what is the best way to gather the completed info if say the files were ftp'd back?
Minor:
There are several minor change requests that I know are doable or that if not possible we can disregard. One that I am not sure about is if the color of the arrows in Acrobat can be changed from the default red?
At first I was assuming that the Clients that get the forms needed Acrobat Standard or Pro 8 or 9 because I thought that the only way to add images was to use the Touch-Up Tool under advanced tools and right click to Place images. However I am pretty sure that if Reader Rights is enabled that images can be copy pasted into the file too if this is incorrect please let me know.
If the above is not doable or if there is a better solution other than Acrobat forms to gather client information including allow the client to add images and place arrows then please let me know your thoughts.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and again id like to commission this out to anyone who is up for the challenge.
Thanks in advance
Jason

Perhaps a better question is does anyone know a good developer?

How can I click Acrobat Form button from VB (Excel Macro)?

I may be asking in the wrong forum, but I'm at my wit's end and think just about anyone with VB experience would be able to tell me what I'm doing wrong. Is there a forum for interapplication/ VB/ forms questions?
Suffice to say, I know very little about VB (or any of the other languages behind the software), but I've adapted code which has allowed me to get almost everything I need done, thus far.
I'm trying, desperately, to finalize a Macro which enables me to export a lot of Excel info into individual Acrobat Forms and save them all independently. This all works fine, but there is one last thing I've not been able to accomplish: I need to remote click (or 'focus on') a button in the Acrobat form in order to select the icon button (dynamically set image relevant to each individual form, base on excel cell). The button's name, in Acrobat, is 'Photo1' and it is located on the 3rd page of the form. I've several SendKeys commands in order to save each file with a unique, row specific name.

I'm pretty sure one of many issues is that I don't know the fully-qualified name of the field/button, or how to properly identify it in the Macro.
I have no doubt that my approach, if it's even possible, is clumsy and unfounded, but I am (obviously) flailing around for anything that can achieve clicking this confounded button. Any help appreciated.

It was a button option - I haven't got access to Acrobat 8 here at home, but it was something like
Add menu item
File - attach to email
When the button was clicked, the email application would open with a new email and the PDF would be attached, so you could enter the recipients email address and send.

Submit Button Acrobat 9 Pro & Select Email Client Screen

I'm new to Acrobat and creating forms and need help. I've created a few forms for work using 8 Pro, which have been successful. I decided to purchase 9 Pro for home and use for our school's PTU membership drive.
I created a form using a Word doc and the Acrobat Form Wizard. It worked, I adjusted my fields, added a Submit button with mailto:[email protected] as the URL and want to distribute the form as "save and distribute later." This works. When I bring up the form for a test run, and submit to myself I get a pop up asking to Select Email Client - do I use Outlook (a few others are also listed) or Yahoo or Hotmail as my email servers. If I click Outlook, everything is fine, the document gets forwarded to me with no problem (because I use Outlook). My concern is for members who don't use Outlook (or the others). They have to go through more steps by saving the doc to their hard drive and emailing it to me as an attachment. I would really like to avoid extra steps for them.
It there a something I'm missing in setting up my Submit button so it automatically gets emailed to me irregardless as to what they are using for email server?
I have searched for 2 hours and have come up with nothing that I understand. If you respond, please remember to be clear as I'm not a techno person.
Thanks for ANY and ALL help you can provide.

You are running into some of the classic problems/concerns for new users with forms. I will try to summarize the issues related to your work:
1. You can create forms directly in Acrobat under the TOOLS menu using the form tools found there, or by selecting the options in the FORMS menu that generally take you to LiveCycle Designer. Questions on the forms should be put to the appropriate forum of these two, since the processing and menus are different.
2. Having the forms be allowed to be saved (necessary for submitting the full form and not just the data that can be imported to the form) requires Reader Rights to be activated for clients using Reader. This activation limits the form use to 500 uses (check section 15 of the EULA for more details) that could be a problem for you, depending on the school size. If you have the form data submitted and do not activate the Rights, then there is not a limitation. Simply import the XML or FDF file into the form when you get it.
3. The e-mail submission you have concerns about is valid. If you do not mind getting questions that it would not work on their machine, then fine. The e-mail submission will not work on all machines (PC , MAC, or UNIX). It depends on the client setup (you have no control), historically requiring MAPI to be active (typical of Outlook, but not other packages). In AA9/AR9 there appear to have been some extensions to this, but a lot of folks use version 9. In fact I have a different version that has come on every machine I have and do not have AA9 yet (AA4-AA8), with even older versions lying around some place. A few weeks ago someone checked in who was using AA4. Since I mentioned this problem, the solutions are:
a. live with it and ask folks who can not submit to copy the info into the body of an e-mail or such.
b. find someone who can add the proper scripts to a web server to receive the data. The school IT folks (if any) might be able to help there.
c. submit the data in HTML form through a cgi-mail or formmail server that is available on many ISP servers (you may have to ask). These servers require some hidden fields telling the server where to send the submitted form data.
Hope that helps. Bill

Acrobat Forms and submit to Outlook Mac 2011

Anyone come across this.
Use Acrobat Pro 9 and have forms set up to use in Reader with a submit button.
Submit button runs a java script which attaches form to an email (see below), resets the form and then closes the form.
This has worked fine with Entourage (Office Mac 2008) however we have just upgraded to Office Mac 2011 with Entourage now being replaced in the suite with Outlook.
Now we can't get any pdf to attach itself to an email - either using the java script which lets us specify an email address, subject line and copy in the email itself OR the standard built in action in Acrobat Pro itself.
Help?
Java script is as follows - feel free to use.
this.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: "default subject",
cMsg: "default message"

Sorry folks - haven't looked at this for a while - found the answer on another thread - don't know why it appears answered here but the answer ain't good I'm afraid and it looks like the problem is with Adobe. Some of the answers were as follows:
Office 2011 on Mac is not an officially supported email client for Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X. Thanks.
Outlook (in Mac Office 2011) is not supported?!?! Adobe is not supporting Office, the MOST POPLAR software package available on the Mac? This does not help Adobe and certainly does not help its customers. This is an awful deficency that needs to be fixed.
Adobe was too dumb to go looking up what was happening with Office for Mac. They've only had 3 years to find out. That they were replacing Entourage with Office. There is no such thing as Entourage on PC. They should have known. I think since they got caught flatfooted they will have to add.
Put simply - it now DOES NOT work with Office 2011 for Mac - downgrade Office anyone?

Acrobat Forms - receiving Images embedded in Distributed Forms

Hi, I've been using the Acrobat forms through Live Cycle for a while now for small simple projects, but trying to implement it now in something a bit more complex (as well as learning more as I go).
I've made a form in LiveCycle ES2 requesting Text, Radio Buttons ...
...BUT also that the respondee can send their company logo with the form. To make it simpler than just attaching the logo seperately in an Email.
I've found the Image Field Object which allows the respondee to upload their Logo into the PDF which then gets mailed back to me.
What I haven't seen is a way to extract this logo to a databank or similar.
The text I can collect, sort through, and export as CSV or XML which is great, but other than the logos being embedded in the returned PDF, they don't seem to be accessible anywhere.
I've probably overlooked it somewhere. (I hope). Can someone assist?
(I'm also not certain what the difference between creating forms in LiveCycle and straight through Acrobat is, but I'll ask that in another question).
Thanks Angus

Since your question is specific to Designer, ask in the LiveCycle forum. Be aware that adding pictures is a rather new process and may not work for folks with older versions of Acrobat or Reader (don't remember how far back this goes).
