Adobe PDF Form (submission by email) - ok on desktop, but using Adobe Reader on iPhone cannot 'submit'

I recently created an Adobe form (Adobe XI Pro) with a 'submit' button - submission by email (not using Forms Central).  The form works well on desktop (Outlook 2010), but when I open the same PDF on mobile (Adobe Reader installed), the 'submit' function is a dud - does nothing.  Any ideas for a fix?  Thanks.

If your user is using Adobe Reader and wants to add an attachment to your PDF file... you need Adobe LiveCycle Designer Reader Extensions to do that...
If your user is using Adobe Acrobat Pro then u can add attachments with this
var myDoc = event.target;
var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;
myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile); 
var sFileName = myDataObject.path; 
ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile); 
NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
you can also remove the file
myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);
you can also open the file
myDoc.exportDataObject({ cName: sFile, nLaunch: 2 });

  • Adobe PDF form / submit sutton does nothing in Safari 5.1.2

    Hi,
    We display embedded Acrobat PDF forms containing a submit button in Safari.
    If I press "submit" nothing happens, this worked some Safari versions before.
    My Adobe Reader is: Adobe Reader X, Version 10.1.1
    My Safari version is 5.1.2, I removed and reinstalled it, still does not work.
    Reading this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8302233/pdf-submit-a-form-button-safari
    "I contacted Adobe again, and their technical support was more helpful. 
    It is a known issue, and Adobe suggests using a different browser, or downgrade to Safari 5.0.1.
    Adobe will soon issue a patch for this to work with Safari 5.1.1.
    Well, I have 5.1.2 and this does not seam to be fixed yet.
    Downgrading my Safari version to 5.0.1 made the Adobe PDF forms work again with Safari, the submit button does  something.
    Does anybody have some information about this? Is there another way to solve this issue then to downgrade to version 5.0.1 ?
    Thanks for helping
    huba

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing the same issue and wondered if you have any news re this problem or have found some workaround ?
    I've performed tests on all verions of Safari  5.1.x including the latest 5.1.4 and unfortunately the bug still exists.
    Thanks in advance for your consideration and any help!

  • Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

    As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .
    1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :
    Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .
    For eg:
    If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page
    1111111111111111111111
    2222222222222222222222
    3333333333333333333333
    4444444444444444444444
    and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines
    1111111111111111111111
    2222222222222222222222
    in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints
    1111111111111111111111
    2222222222222222222222
    rather than printing
    3333333333333333333333
    4444444444444444444444
    2.No way to hide a page at runtime:
    It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .
    Any pointers on this????????
    Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

    Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.
    I have a node called <b>MasterData</b> which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called <b>GenData</b> inside this node whose <b>ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num</b> attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the <b>docReady</b> event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is <b>MngrCmptnc</b>
    if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
    then
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
    MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
    else
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
    MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
    MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"
    endif

  • How to dynamically assign Display Pattern using FormCalc in Adobe PDF Form

    I am using Adobe PDF Form Designer. I am trying to dynamically assign a display pattern like MM/DD/YYYY to the Field tab - Display Pattern property. May I know how to do that?
    I am using FormCalc scripting.

    hi,
    After placing the date field in layout from data view, u will get tabs like field,layout,border etc..
    In field tab under the edit pattern specify the pattern in which you want to display the date field.
    hope this works.

  • Faxing adobe pdf forms using actions in CRM service process

    Hi experts,
    Does anybody has experience in sending adobe PDF forms as a fax using actions in CRM service processes? Currently I use this by implementing a PPF BAdI, but what else configuration, software and hardware requirements I need to make faxing work in CRM?
    Is it possible to use 3rd party software to send the fax for example winfax and transfer the fax number to this?
    Regards:
    Gabor

    Dear Dezso,
    As far as I remember, we already know each other
    Our company have been using winfax in the past for sending fax messages. Now that they will use SAP-CRM shall they buy a new fax server? I have looked after Topcall, it might be useful with RFC?
    In CRM service order, I use the EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF BAdI implementation to collect the data from the service order, and then use the standard function modules to "print" or "fax" the PDF document (call function FM_NAME).
    At this function module, which structure do I neet to enter the recipient's fax number (I read somewhere that I have to use DEVICE='TELEFAX' in the output_options - is it true?) ?
    Or should I communicate from the BAdI with Business Communication Services (create recipient and similar methods)?
    Is there any way to send the fax from the local machine where the user uses the SAP GUI?
    Thank you very much in advance for your help and support!

  • Re: Interactive Adobe PDF forms

    Hi,
    In interactive Adobe PDF forms only two events are give such as OnCheck and OnSubmit. Is it possible to use other events appart from check and submit.If so how to use it and where to code it.
    Is Interactive pdf forms are ment for these two purposes only.
        Thanks and regards .
            Karthik

    Hi
    The other events you may need would be mostly for field level validations. The adobe framework allows one to write javascripts. Every UI element on the Adobe will have its own set of events. For eg say u want to fill a dropdown frm a RFC when an other UI in the form is clicked and you choose not to use the oncheck or submit action, here is the way:
    Make the RFC a webservice, call the webservice using javascript in the onclick action of UI element 1. Similarly you can use other events to fill, validate and manipulate data. Finally once all that is done submit the data to SAP. Hope it helps. Thank you.
    regards

  • ADOBE pdf Forms upload on EP

    Hi,
    Can somebody pls tell me the steps to upload ADOBE pdf Forms on Eportal...
    We have a requirement in which the user can download the pdf forms from EP & upload it again on EP doing some changes in pdf.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Nikesh Shah

    Hi Nikesh,
    As per your description you would like to use the PDF forms to update data in the CRM system. In that case you will be required to create a Webdynpro application which will work with some RFF/BAPI which will update data in the CRM tables.
    To use Adobe forms you need to have  Adobe LiveCycle Designer installed and configured with SAP EP Server.
    The option you currently use is not linked to any backend system and that file is being stored in the KM repository of the EP server.
    Please visit the following link for more details:

  • Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader.

    Texts in pdf form don't appear when viewing in Acrobat nor in Reader nor when printed after the form has been filled. But the texts appear when one clicks inside the field. What is the solution to be able to print and view all of the texts in all of the fields that have been typed.

    More than likely caused by someone filling out the form with Mac Preview.
    Here's a potential fix: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

    Looking to create editable PDF forms with drop downs and text boxes for use on a Mac computer and iPad. Which product do I need to purchase? Do not need anything fancy

    Basically you would need Acrobat. However, it is now also possible to create basic form fields using just the free Reader. In fact, I've been working on a tool that allows you to do it, so if you're interested in it please contact me privately.

  • Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
    I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
    Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
    It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.
