Acrobat Form Submit button not working with Reader

I created a form using Acrobat Pro 9 with a submit button function. When I email the form to users they are only allowed to submit the form if they have Acrobat Standard or Pro. For users that have Acrobat Reader they are able to open complete the fields and print the document but are unable to use the submit function. They receive the following message "This operation is not permitted". 
I need all Adobe users including Reader to be able to submit this form. How do I fix this?
Help is greatly appreciated!!

You need to Reader-enable the form in Acrobat by selecting: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
This is because the form needs to be saved before it is attached to an email, and Reader normally cannot save a modified form. Reader 11 is able to save a modified form, however.

  • 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.

  • Forms - submit button not working

    A client asked me to create an eflyer with a registration form included to be emailed out. I added form fields to the form page and an email submit button. Works fine on my Mac - opens Entourage correctly addressed and with the xfdf file attached. Tested on Parallels Desktop running Windows XP Pro and this seemed to work too. However when my client tested it on her PC, when she clicked on the submit button nothing happened. It works for her on the web but understandably she want's it to work when people receive the PDF as an attachment to an email. She uses Outlook as her email client.
    Any thoughts? Many thanks.

    Thanks for your comment. I've sent a new PDF to the client with the extended rights turned on and this still doesn't work, as you thought. I know I've read about how unreliable emailing PDF forms can be but I wanted a simple solution on a document that my client wants to email to her contacts. Maybe it's just not a good idea to start with though you'd think that seeing as how adobe have added the feature it might just work! When I tried on Windows running on my Mac when I clicked send it asked me whether I wanted to use local or web-based email which implied you could use either? (I don't have an email client currently set up under windows as I only use it for opening the odd PC only file that clients send me which is I guess why it asked the question rather than chaining straight into an email window).
    I'm attaching the document in question. The form is on page 3.
    Many thanks for your support

  • Submit button not working with gumby

    I am using Gumby (http://gumbyframework.com/) on our home page. The page is very simple with no fancy js. In Gumby there is a submit button (http://gumbyframework.com/docs/ui-kit/#!/buttons) which lets you ..... well, submit forms. Not in FF!! When I click 'Submit' nothing happens. I do see bunch of css errors but after reading other answers I am going to ignore them.
    The same page works on chrome (and supposedly on IE)

    Did everything you asked me to. No use. See logs [http://we.tl/qKjPwG7m6n here] By the way, I am creating the form in js. But that shouldnt be a problem as it works fine in Chrome.

  • Interactive PDF Form Submit Button Not Working

    Hi there,
    I created an Interactive PDF in InDesign with a form included in the document. When I export as an interactive PDF my Adobe Reader will allow me to fill out the form no problem, however, when I click submit to connect the form to my email, it says "operation not permitted". Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

    Reader prior to version 11 cannot save the document unless it is Reader-enabled, which you can do with Acrobat. Exactly how depends on which version you're using. In Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

  • Submit button not working on ipad

    We have an interactive form and a submit button where it posts the copy of the PDf file to the server(URL). It works fine on Desktop; however when I open the file on iPad, and click on the buttons, they do not trigger any event(it does not work).
    Is it a known issue? Any workaround for this?

    Submit form actions don't work with Reader for iOS unless the form was enabled for use with Adobe's FormsCentral service. Other PDF viewers for iOS support the submit form action or the submitForm JavaScript method.

  • Power button not working with 7.1 update

    Power button not working with 7.1 update

    I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
    Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
    I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
    I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
    When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
    Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
    I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
    I seriously think Android is calling me...

  • CRM Survey on Web - Submit button not working.

    Hi Gurus,
    We have created a Survey in CRM_Survey_suite. The Problem is, when we send the survey with one Question (mail goes out with a link, user click on the link and link take them to our QA Server BSP Page), the submit button is working but when we send survey with more then one question the submit button is not working (When we click, nothing happens), however the RESET button is working fine.
    Another interesting thing is, surveys with multiple questions are working fine in our Dev environment (The initial setup in dev was done by another consultant who is no longer with us).
    I am not an expert in this area and i have checked every single config that i know in DEV and in QA to my knowledge and the config is identical.
    Pls help.
    Thanks

  • Print button not working with Xerox pluggins installed

    Thanks to the wonderful people here I found that if you have any Xerox plugins in /Library/Printers/PPD Plugins you can experience the print button not working.
    Removing them fixes it which is nice but I need the plugins, anyone know a work arround?

    I've seen this happen with some of our Xerox PPD's on PC's. The cause in this case, is their reference to virtual memory with older OS systems.
    I instead used an older PPD or a PPD I had edited to support 200"x200" custom pages sizes, supporting full color.
    All I needed was a clean postscript file.
    The Adobe 7 PPD writes clean PS.
    If you need some kind of VIPP instructions in your PPD for the Xerox, I'd look at getting a newer PPD form Xerox made for OSX.

  • Sharepoint send to button not working with document mode 9

    Hi All,
    We are using document mode 9 for HTML 5 in the master page but the SharePoint send to button is not working with ie 9.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    SharePoint 2010 doesn't use HTML 5, so its possible that the browser is running in quirks mode. Try the default compatibility mode and see if that works for you.

  • MBA 13" media buttons not working with iTunes

    I just got my mba 13" and everything is great, but for some reason the media buttons do not work with itunes. I've tried them with vlc and other applications and they work fine. Any ideas how I can fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    No, it didn't work fine with VLC. Whenever I pressed "play/pause", it'll trigger iTune and the media buttons become the controller for both applications at the same time.
    What the %^&*..
