Acrobat X form problem

Why doesn't it work whe I create a form in acrobat for me to upload it to my website, and then have people open the form, fill it out, then submit it?

I am creating a 2 page form from a Word document. Once I have converted the doc to a pdf and have created all of the fillable areas in Acrobat, I then try to upload it to our home page. I then fill the form out an hit submit, and I get an error message, which I cannot remember, and my original pdf document now has the information I filled in, rather than blank fields. What I am trying to do is upload the pdf to the home page so people can fill out the form, submit it, and we can print their submitted form or file it electronically for our records. creating the form is the easy part, trying to get it to work properly in our web site...quite a problem. This is not a form I can "distribute" or email to people as it is an admission application, therefore only those wishing to apply need to fill it out.
Any help you can give is appreciated. Thank You!

  • Is there a way to create a button to make an entire page visible or hidden in an Acrobat XI form?

    Is there a way to create a button to make an entire page visible or hidden in an Acrobat XI form?

    Note that Reader (11 or otherwise) cannot show/hide pages that are templates. Reader 11 can spawn new pages from templates and delete any spawned pages, however. It also supports spawning a template by overlaying it on an existing page.
    The UI in Acrobat 11 for making a page a template and setting its visibility is found under: Tools > Document Processing > Page Templates
    Here are some links to the JavaScript documentation: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.1216.html
    http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_Dev_Templates.80.2.html
    Note that some of this information is outdated with respect to Reader 11.

  • Acrobat 9 Form Wizard on Complex PDF Artwork

    I read the following an article at InDesign Secrets
    http://indesignsecrets.com/automated-forms-with-acrobat-8-and-indesign.php
    It explains how to use layers in InDesign to help Acrobat's form recognition recognise form fields when there is not enough definition. However I wanted to be able to apply the same sort of concept to a complex area.
    created a layer with a simple form design on top of the layers with complex design. I exported the PDF, open it up in Acrobat, hide the complex layer and the run the form recognition.
    I figured the form recognition would only process the information on the visible layers... but that does not seem to be the case.
    What can I do for these complex forms?

    The first thing you need to come to grips with is that anything that's
    automated is going to be less than perfect.
    With that out of the way, create the document without the complex data
    and export the PDF. Run the form field recognition.
    Then export the document with the complex data to PDF. With the orignal
    PDF open use the Document>Replace Pages command in Acrobat to replace
    the simple page with the complex page. The form fields will remain and
    you'll have the final artwork.

  • Acrobat 9 Form works via email but not uploaded to website

    Hi all. I need to be able to have people go to a url, fill out a form and then e-mail it to the company. The e-mailing part works perfectly if I e-mail the form to myself but when it's uploaded to the company's website nothing happens. Is it possible to have it filled out on the website and e-mailed or do I have tobuild a conventional online form to do this? The company already has an attractive form which we'd prefer to use but I'm thinking I need to build a regular html form instead. Could someone please confirm or (hopefully) deny this conclusion? If it IS possible to make the pdf work on a website I'd appreciate any and all clues as to how to do so. Thanks!

    If the people are filling out the forms with Reader, unless you set up form in Acrobat to Confer Rights on Reader they won't be able to do wnything with the form and print it. It can't be saved nor can it be meailed and be filled out.
    Follow these steps:
    Open Acrobat
    Open form
    Go to advanced menu
    Choose extend Features in Reader (as described in Acobat 9.x for Mac).
    Once menu choice is open choose what you want to allow.
    Make sure you form is perfect because once you confer rights your no longer allowed to edit the form.
    you will have go back and may an unrights protected copy; before you can edit the form .

  • Skip logic in Acrobat X forms

    Can I use skip logic in Acrobat X forms, or do I need to go to Forms Central?

    It's possible since you can control fields with JavaScript, but depending on exactly how you want the form to behave, it could be simple or rather complex. You have more options if it doesn't need to work with Reader, and you may want to look into creating the form in LiveCycle Designer as it allows you to create more dynamic forms.

  • Smart Form problem with address layout

    Hello everyone,
    I need your help please for a smart form problem. We need the address layout for great britain with street1, street2 etc. but currently street2 is alligned before street1.
    We are using the FM ADDRESS_INTO_PRINTFORM (SAP standard address node) and according to the documenation the layout for GB is different as we see it currently.
    We have checked the sold-to and all contact persons, they have as country GB and language EN maintained.
    In customizing for address screen layout there is nothing chosen (tested to set up Europe, but did not change anything).
    For the customizing 'specify my countries...' we have maintained GB as country with the address layout key 006, vehicle country key GB and language key EN.
    For the described setting shouldn't there be designed the address in our smart forms according to 006? Anyhting in customizing we missed?
    Thanks a lot for your answers.
    Torsten

    Hi,
    Try to use line priority of FM, below is a brief of documentation. You can read it more in FM documentation:
    Control Parameters
    See also the parameter documentation.
    ADDRESS_TYPE - Address type (from 3.0C)
    There are three types of address:
    Address type '1': addresses of firms or organizations; the address
    structure which is used in most SAP applications as 'Address'.
    Address type '2': address of a person
    Address type '3': work address, usually the address of a contact person
    in a company
    The default value SPACE for the address type is handled like type '1',
    and is needed for the upwards-compatibility of the function module.
    Which parameters are used for which address type is explained in the
    ADDRESS_TYPE parameter documentation.
    The three character "address layout key" of the recipient country (LAND1) controls which of the available country-specific routines is used to format addresses for the country in question. This key is stored in field T005-ADDRS and is entered in Customizing under Global settings -> Set countries -> Define countries, on the detail screen under "Address layout key".
    Keys for customer routines in the SAP enhancement SZAD0001 can be
    maintained via the transaction SM30 (extended table maintenance),table
    name T005A, in the customer name range, and be assigned in country customizing.
    The address attributes are passed in the structures ADDRESS1 (type 1), ADDRESS2 (type 2), ADDRESS3 (type 3) or ADRSWA_IN (type SPACE).
    NUMBER_OF_LINES (ADRSWA_IN-ANZZL)
    The number of lines available for the address layout. If the number of
    lines is not sufficient for the complete layout of an address, then
    lines are consecutively suppressed according to the rules of the country in question. Use the parameter LINE_PRIORITY (ADRSWA_IN-PRIOR) overrules the standard sequence in which the output lines are to be suppressed.
    LINE_PRIORITY (ADRSWA_IN-PRIOR)
    If not equal to SPACE, this field overwrites the standard sequence in
    which the lines are suppressed if the available number of lines ANZZL is
    insufficient.
    The standard sequence is defined as follows:
    Type 1:   'AP43HRT7I86LC2BS5O'       (GB:  'APRT4327I86CBS5LO')
    Type 2:   'APHRT7I86LCBS5O'          (GB:  'PRT7I86CBS5LO')
    Type 3:   'APF43HR7I86TLC2BSND5O'    (GB:  'APRT4327I86CBS5LNDIO')
    where (if they occupy a line of their own):
    A = Title
    P = Mandatory empty line 1
    F = Function of the contact person in the company
    4 = Name 4
    3 = Name 3
    H = Different city
    R = Region
    T = District
    L = Name of country
    C = Postal code
    T = District
    7 = Street 3 (field STR_SUPPL2)
    I = Street 5 (field LOCATION)
    8 = Street 4 (field STR_SUPPL3)
    6 = Street 2 (field STR_SUPPL1)
    L = Country
    C = Postal code
    2 = Name 2
    B = PO Box
    S = Street or PO Box
    5 = c/o name
    N = Name (and title) of a person
    D = Department
    O = City
    Which of these attributes are available for maintenance can vary. All
    fields exist in Business Address Services.
    STREET_HAS_PRIORITY (ADRSWA_IN-WAREN)
    'X': Street has priority over PO Box (delivery address for example)
    ' ': PO Box has priority over street. This is the default value.

  • Muse CC 2014 contact web forms problems

    Hi I recently created a website using muse cc 2014 and I uploaded it to the hosting server a free one at freehosting.com I set up everything I know of and when I uploaded the site using muse it gave a error message saying something about PHP mail??? I setup the mail account for my admin user and entered that in the muse contact form. If I test the contact form I do not get the messages and I even added a email to have it forwarded to my yahoo account. If I go in my email account and enter the hosting email account I however do see the message on the server's webmail page and it gets forwarded to the email I set to be the forward email. I checked everything and I'm really confused as what needs to be done. I also submitted a ticket asking customer service they have yet to respond. To note I'm using a free hosting company as it's just a personal website that I don't need all the fancy stuff just the basic needed components to make it work. my website does show up and the pages work EXCEPT the contact form which is needed and important. I ran the script and this is the results
    PHP Version - OK
    mail configured incorrectly

    The last two  items I really don't understand what is the problem

    What would be the fix or proper setup for the "SQL configuration problem?" I too am having form problems on a third party host, and after checking the PHP diagnostics, the "php version" reads ok, the "mail configuration" is ok, but the SQL configuration is not.
    I guess I just need to know what I need to communicate to the hosting administrator about the SQL so they will configure it properly.
    Thanks

  • Problems getting multiple digital signatures in Acrobat Reader form

    I have a Word document that I converted to a form in Acrobat 9 Pro. I added two separate digital signature fields, one for a conference presenter and the other for the conference planner to sign. There are also a number of text fields where presenters give bio information. I saved the document using the Extend functionality so that a user who only has Acrobat Reader would be able to fill in the form, sign/save it, and then send it on to the conference planner. The first part is working fine. However, once the first user signs/saves the document, the extended functionality goes away. When the conference planner receives the document, it is essentially locked. She cannot sign and save.
    Is what I'm trying to do possible? I feel like this would be fairly commonplace, but I may be going about it the wrong way. Thank you for any pointers.
    -Brian 

    Hi Steve,
    I have met similar problem. Using Adobe 9.4 I have prepared document with three signature fileds. I did signature in one of the field and then did extension to Reader. When I checked the propierties of document it occured that signing was not allowed. I couldn't sign it second time (not saying of Reader's user).
    Is there missing any plug-in or something is wrong with a configuration (mentioned "Nothing has happened when signed" was set up)?

  • Acrobat 9 Pro form problem

    I've created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and it works well. It's a survey form. The problem is when I set the form using "Extend Features with Acrobat Reader", the reader version of the form "remembers" past entries for fields which require free form entries. I've tried using "Clear Form" and then saving the document as another version, but when I open it up with Reader, and I click on the free form fields, I get a drop down of previous entries into those fields.
    So, how do I clear this information out of the Acrobat file once and for all?

    Is it tunred off for the Reader installation or in your Acrobat installation. It doesn't matter what your Acrobat settings are when it's used by someone else with Reader.
    Recent versions of Acrobat/Reader do not cache form data in the way mentioned by GKaiseril. This used to happen when a form was viewed in a browser.

  • Adobe acrobat reader 9 problem saving forms and copying photos

    I used adobe acrobat reader 6 at
    work and I have a form that I save with new data. I am also able to copy text and photos using version 6.
    When I try to save edited forms and copy files from versiion 9 It wont allow me to do that.
    Is their any way that I can copy text, photos and save forms in Adobe version 9?
    When I try to save forms in version 9 it states that I am unable to save the form. When I try to copy text or photos it will not allow me to copy.

    Are you talking about Reader or Acrobat. These are two different programs and Reader definitely has restrictions. Reader used to be called Acrobat Reader before version 6, but that has been gone a long time. The change was likely because of the confusion between Acrobat and Reader. The problems you indicate are suggestive of Reader, not of Acrobat.

  • Acrobat 9 Distribute Forms Problem

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard in Windows 7 Professional.
    I have created a form with all the necessary fields, but when I click on the Distribute Form button, nothing happens.  I've tried several ways to launch this wizard, but can't seem to get the original screen with the distribute options (Acrobat.com, internal server, email) to appear. 
    No matter what I try, all I get is the purple bar showing Please fill out the following form.  If you are a form author, choose Distribute Form in the Forms menu to send it to your recipients.  Since I am the author, I don't understand why I keep going around in circles.
    Any guidance will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kim.

    I'm using the retail upgrade version, currently on 9.3.0.  I had to upgrade from Acrobat 7 Pro when I got my new Win7 computer.
    One thougth... the more I investigate this problem, I can't help but wonder if I somehow turned off the screen that is supposed to come up when I click the Distribute Forms button.  I just ran through the 20-minute video at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/acrobat-9-complete-forms-workfl ow and it reminded me of the wizard screen that is supposed to appear with the three options (use Acrobat.com, email, internal server).  I haven't seen it, which makes wonder if I checked the "always use this option" button and now I can undo it.  Every option that I've tried on the Forms menu immediately takes me to the form with the purple bar mentioned in my original post.
    Thanks,
    Kim.
