Acrobat Forms: "Rush Order" Button

How do I create a button that shows the image "Rush Order" when clicked and hides the image when clicked a second time?
So far I have figured that I need three buttons to acomplish this...
One button that is hidden and has the "Rush Order" image shown on "up".
One button to show the "Rush Order" image button.
One button to hide the "Rush Order" image button.
It's odd that I can't have a button with an icon that becomes visable when clicked and stays visable untill clicked a second time.
Anyone know how to do this easily without three buttons?
Thank You!
Jeremy

2 buttons are certainly enough. Let's say the image button is called "Image". Then you use this code as the other button's MouseUp Run a JavaScript code:
var f = this.getField("Image");
f.display = f.display==display.visible ? display.hidden : display.visible;
That's it...

Acrobat form with submit button

Have a coldfusion app that includes an acrobat form that contains a submit button. The button submits the form to another CF page. I'm making some fixes to this app and need to change where the form submits, currently it's going to production but i need it to go to test. When I open the form in Acrobat 8 or Livecycle I don't see any script. Anyone know where to change wheer this form posts?

Not sure about LiveCycle, but here's how to do it in acrobat.
1) Right click on Form Button -> Properties -> Actions
You should see a list of actions associated with the button. something like:
- Mouse Up
Submit a Form
2) Select on "Submit a Form" and click "Edit" at the bottom of the screen
3) Edit URL in "Submit Form Selections" window.

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.

Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long

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.

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.

Acrobat Form button that when clicked will open a Windows Folder?

Is there a way to have a button on an Adobe Acrobat Form that when clicked will open a Windows Folder located with a predefined UNC path? I'm looking for a scripting solution.
UNC example: \\myserver\myshares\engineering\changeorders
I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES v. 8.2.
Thanks for any help that you can give.

This is in Internet Explorer 6 (yes, horrible, I know), but we use a standardized image where I work, with pretty intense GPO's.
Don't know what happens if you right-click the link; but from any other machine (with the same image) the same link will open with all three options "Open", "Save", and "Cancel". These are not freshly imaged machines, so some setting must of been changed along the way to make this happen on this user's computer.
Repaired Acrobat, but this resolved nothing.
Also checked in IE to make sure that Adobe was enabled under the Programs tab.
Also, the option to view a pdf within the browser is not turned on.
Any other ideas?

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?

Acrobat XI Pro will not activate when trying to convert to an Acrobat form from an existing Word document

My version of Acrobat XI Pro will not activate when trying to convert to an Acrobat form from an existing Word document. Acrobat not responding.
Please advise

Hi johnb69345359,
I am sorry for the inconvenience caused. Lets try to resolve this issue.
I would require few details in order to diagnose the issue correctly :-
1) Are you able to launch Acrobat XI pro ?
If yes, please try Help -> Repair option to repair Acrobat XI pro. Then try to perform the covert operation.
2) Let me know the Operating system installed on your computer.
3) Is there any error code or error message?
Regards,

Adobe Acrobat form can be opened in Adobe Reader but no one can fill it out. Why not?

So I created a form for my job that my co-workers and clients need to be able to fill out. It was created in Acrobat and while others can open it in their Adobe Reader they are unable to edit any of the fields/fill the form out. Any ideas what might be causing this or what I might do to fix this?
Thank you,
Sara

Hi There,
So I found out where I'm running into the problem. The document works fine as long as I don't have a submit button included (something that is added via Acrobat) - if the submit button is removed and I save it - the document can be opened and edited in Reader. However, if it has the submit button, nothing works. Do you have any idea what would cause this disconnect between acrobat and reader? It makes no sense to have "add button" as a feature if it doesn't work outside of acrobat.
Thanks,
Sara

"Submit Form" doesn't work in an Acrobat Form.

We created an Acrobat form which includes a "Submit Form" button, but this button does not work in Unix. Is this a known issue? If not, is there a fix for this?

Thanks for reporting the issue , can you please send us one such PDF form in which you are facing the issue. Also do let us know the version of Adobe Reader you are trying this on and also the Unix Distribution you are using.
thanks,

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).

Adding attachments to an Acrobat Form

Dear All, I hope you can help.
I have created an Acrobat form on a Mac using Acrobat XI ver 11.0.03. Once I distribute the form I need the user to add an attachment (.pdf .xls etc) and then email it back.
I thought Form Central would be a perfect solution, however having paid my subscription, I couldn't find the function anywhere. I then searched the forums only to find that Form Central can't deal with attachments. Back to the drawing board!
Now being forced to distribute the form manually (by email), I still need to allow users to add the documents above. I am aware of the add attachment in the left menu item, but ideally I would like users to simply click on a button that opens a finder window to allow them to add attachments.
I would really appreciate your help on this.
Many thanks,
J.

The type of thing you want is possible, but if it needs to work with Reader the document must be enabled by LiveCycle Reader Extensions so it includes the embedded file usage right.
The best you can do with a file that's been Reader-enabled with Acrobat is to manually attach a file as a comment. A button can be used to display instructions, but that's it. There is also the licensing restrictions that come into play when you enable with Acrobat.

Acrobat Form visibility

Good morning. I hope this is the correct area.
I have just created a form in Acrobat XI Pro. Form works great. I have added a "Clear Form" (reset a form) function, and also a "Submit form". Both buttons are set to "Visible but doesn't print". These buttons do not show up when i print it on paper.
I am asking that if I submit this form (via the button), how can I make this attachment a flat non editable pdf.
As of now the email recipient of this form can see the "Clear Form" and "Submit" button as well.
I want just a plain old static PDF file attached to the email.
Essentially making the original form like a template file and the end result is read only data
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

Ok thanks
I was not really looking at getting into digital signatures. I was just hoping that I could use this form like a template, and not have it editable after it is emailed the first time.
I have tried to hide the buttons, but the functionality seems to be gone. I will investigate the proper settings
thanks

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data

Acrobat form with server side submit, posting blank data,
thanh xả tràn
I have a PDF form which gets submitted to the server using a submit (server-side) button. The data is then received in XML format by a ColdFusion component which does some validation and stores it into the database.
This PDF form is usually filled in by our clients using Adobe Reader 8 or below. While most of the times(and I mean like 96-97% of the times) everything goes well, at times we receive blank data into our database!! This renders couple of other features in our application useless as they try to parse an XML which does not exist.
I do believe that this is not a problem at the ColdFusion side because all it does is trim(ToString(toBinary(GetHttpRequestData().content))).
Does anyone has a clue as to why the data will be lost upon form submission?? I have done a lot of googling around it but in vain!

There is an outside chance someone is just playing with you and submitting a blank form. Not uncommon if someone is not too familiar with forms.

Acrobat form submit automatically bypassing Outlook?

We are using Acrobat 9 Professional, Office Standard 2007, Windows XP and some PC's have Windows 7
We created a fillable Acrobat form with a submit buttom. Everything is working as expected - thank goodness. We are able to complete the form, the submit button then runs a java script that creates an Outlook email, populates the email header To field, subject, text in the body of the message and adds the completed PDF as an attachment.
Now we are interested in eliminating the last step: Send the Outlook email. Anyway to get Outlook to automatically send the email without input from the end user?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Acrobat form on Ipad - form field to open camera and use photo in field?

If I am using a acrobat form on an Ipad can I set a required field to open the camera, take a photo, and place the photo in the field?

It's possible, but not with Reader for iOS. The only PDF viewer for iOS that I know it can be done with is Readdle's PDF Expert. You can set up a button with a layout other than "Label Only", and use the following JavaScript in the button's Mouse Up event:
// Mouse Up script
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
It will allow you to take a picture or use an image from a photo library.
