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?

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:

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

How do I transfer Notes from my Outlook Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6)? I am using OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

Hi,
I want to know how I can transfer Notes in my Outlook: Mac 2011 to my iPhone 4S.
Am using a Macbook Pro with OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and my 4S is on iOS 6.
Jesal

Finally figured it out...
1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
Anyways... problem solved for now...
ciao...

Multiple personalities when syncing bb calendar with outlook mac 2011

Outlook mac 2011 meetings where I invite guests appear correctly both in my bb and mac outlook calendar. Meetings where I invite no one "appointments" won't sync no matter what I try. Has this happened to anyone else?

Outlook for Mac 2011 does not support iCloud contacts and calendars syncing because Microsoft chose not to include the CardDAV and CalDAV protocols necessary to do so (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915), which is strange since they do support these on Outlook for Windows.
If you want to contacts and calendars with iCloud you'll have to use the OS X apps.

MS Outlook Mac 2011 , mail disappearing draft

If i send mail from my outlook mac 2011, aol account, and I am BCC multiple accounts; if one of those accounts are invalid, I get an error but can not fix it. The email is nowhere to be found. It is not in my drafts?? I want to delete the invalid email. Now it keeps appearing as an error every time I log on.

This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office or your question in any way. If you have issues or questions about Office, it's probably best you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

Leave email on server imap outlook:mac 2011

Hi,
I need to read my e-mails on multiple devices and when I download onto one it is removed from the server. How to I configure outlook:mac 2011 to leave it on the server for a specific number of days?
Thanks
John

Please post a screen shot of the Account window. More than likely your mail provider/ISP is using IMAP and Outlook is setup to access it using IMAP. You have to make sure all other devices are also accessing that account using IMAP. If one of them is accessing it by POP then the mail might get deleted from the server when downloaded to that device.
Who is your email provider?
How are you accessing the account, IMAP or POP?
To post a screen shot use the Camera icon at the top of the reply area. Images have to be Jpeg or PNG. To take a screen shot press Shift + Command + 4 keys and draw a box around what you want to make a screen shot of.

Outlook Mac 2011 keeps crashing after Maverick installation

Hi everyone,
just installed Maverick. Now my Outlook Mac 2011 keeps crashing. I just freezes up and eventually pops a window stating "microsoft outlook must be closed because an error occured. any unsaved work may be lost.". Anyone seen this too and found a way to fix?
Cheers,

I have found MS Office databases to be fragile. When I had the 2008 version, it was corrupted by an MS Office upadate. The same thing recently occurred to me in MS Office 2011 after I migrated to a new iMac. The tech support person from Microsoft had to reinstall MS Office 2011 from scratch and I had to start over with a new Main Identity.
Fortunately, there are ways to migrate all your old email to a new main identity but it is a pain.
I suggest you head over to the Microsoft forums to see what they are saying over there. It could be that your database was corrupted by the update to Mavericks but there are other things that cause that delicate database to get corrupted. I realize this does not fix your problems but you might gain some additional insights at the Microsoft web site.

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

How do I take two separate non numeric fields in a acrobat form and combine the data to display in a third separate field?

You have to use custom JavScripting to concatenate the first 2 fields. You cannot use the first 2 calculation options because they force the values of the fields to a numeric value or ignore string values.
Possible scripts for the 3rd field are:
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("Text2").valueAsString;
or
event.value = this.getField("Text1").valueAsString.concat( " ", this.getField("Text2").valueAsString);
If you do not want change the separator or not show the separator when on or the other field is empty, you will need to add more code to adjust for change.
The above scripts will also concatenate number because the field values are read as strings and not numbers.
There is also a generalized user written function to concatenate up to 3 fields with a separator that adjust for missing data.

How instal developer (forms and reports ) on Apple Mac

I want to install oracle 6i forms and report on Apple Mac note book. how i and where i can download developer installer for MAC OS.
Thanks

Apple Mac is not a suitable platform to install oracle products. You can take a look at the Oracle Certify Matrix and you can build up your own conclusions.
In this case, use your Apple Mac for documentation, get a Microsoft Windows Based platform, and choose a certified platform.

Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

I do not have Acrobat available in the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 task bar. (Mac OS 10.8.3)
I have searched, and my understanding is that these two programs are not compatible. Has a plugin or something been developed to do this?
What functionality is missed by not having this?
Thanks,
Donna

There's no plugin for the Mac version of Office, but you can still use Acrobat by printing to the PDF Printer to generate a PDF from your Office files.
(PS - you should post Acrobat-related questions in the Acrobat forums, not the Reader ones)

Problem with Acrobat Form and SendMail

I have produced a PDF form and have sent it to myself (at another address) filled it in, making sure that reader rights are enabled
(for clients with just the Acrobat Reader). I then want to send it back to myself. When clicking the submit button this is the message I get -
The SendMail doesn't know how to talk to your default mail client. Please select a different mail application to use.
What do I need to change for this to work?
I am using Acrobat 8 Professional and can attach the pdf form if it helps.
Regards
David Would
