Adobe submit button vs button (configured to send)

I noticed that when the pre-configured Adobe submit button is chosed the ability to chose a PDF format is not present, but when I manually configure a button to send to an email address I have four choices as to the format the data or form should be sent in. What I need is a combination of both. The pre-configured button lets me set the topic (so an email filter can be used for the incoming forms) but the manually configured button allows me to submit the form as a pdf which is not present in the pre-configured button. Anyway to get both?

NL,
What type of form it is i.e. ActiveX / Native?
If its ActiveX you will need ACF on your machine, normally the dll is installed whenever the form is opened for first time and it requires Admin rights for user logged in.
If its Native then no installation is required, just check the coding you have in ALD for that button.
Also verify one more time from where did you select the Submit To SAP button i.e. the button should be from respective library depending on form type.
For Native, it should be something like mentioned below:-
// DO NOT MODIFY THE CODE BEYOND THIS POINT - 705.20051114114126.253659.250577 - SubmitToSAP.xfo
ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
// END OF DO NOT MODIFY

WebDynpro SUBMIT button instead of Adobe SUBMIT button

Hi Exprts,
I am using the WebDynpro SUBMIT button after many unsuccessful attempts of using the Adobe SUBMIT button.
The WebDynpro button is easier to implement and use. Pease let me know if there are any negative points in taking this approach.
Any kinds of tips are appreciaed.
Thanks,
Shobhit

hi,
there are two buttons available for facilitating integration with Web Dynpro.
the Buttons:-
1). Submit to SAP
2). Check Fields
are there.
if you go to interactive forms->properties->events
you will see that there are two events...
*onSubmit
*onCheck
these events correspond to the two above mentioned buttons.
you can write the code for actions in web dynpro implementation.
these two buttons provide good integration with Dynpro.
There is no bad effect of using these two buttons as such.
But the advantage surely is that you have access to these buttons in web dynpro.
and can write the code for them in their respective actions.
and further you can change the functionality of these buttons and modify the text on these buttons too. like "submit to SAP" can be changed to "MyText".
the behavior of the button will depend on what code you write in its action.

Auto send form using submit button

Is it possible to configure the submit button to auto send without bringing up the email dialog box? I need to be able to have the form send to a speicific email address without the ability of the user sending the form the ability to change the emai address.

Adobe security ...you are not allowed to programmatically do something without the users knowledge. Your PDF could be used to generate countless emails from the users desktop without them even knowing.

Submitting a form using Adobes built in submit button

Hello All,
I have created a form in Acrobat XI Pro and use the built in distribute wizard
Adobe opens up and asks for the email to send the forms to.
This works fine.
When the user fills the form and press the Adobe submit button, (not the one you add to a form) how can I indicate to the user the button was pressed!
Thanks

Is there any way after pressing the submit button i can set a flag or message?

Submit Button to submit xml data of form to a server folder

I have Livecycle ES2 vs 9 on Windows 7.
I have created a form that our users will fill out in adobe reader. I would like them to be able to hit the submit button and it send the xml data to a specified folder on our server.
I created a submit button from from the generic "button", chose to use as a "submit" control type, then entered the servers url as http://<my server name>:<Open Port>/<Folder name on the server>/
I chose to submit as XML data
When I test the button, a box willl pop up saying "Preparing for submit..." then immediatley changes to "Receiving Data".
The problem is that the box freezes on "receiving Data" but I do not need to receive data, I just need to dump the xml data to the folder on my server.
I have used a variety of urls with and without the port#, or without the http: but with backslashes but get the error "An error occurred during the submit process. There was a problem connecting to the server." I feel the latest URL with the port# is at least closer by trying to communicate with the server.
Not sure what I am missing but I have seen in other forums where some have used PHP code or a servlet but I have no experience with either and the forums did not cover the scripting and where it needs to be placed.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

As far as I know you canit simply write a file to the server using HTTP protocol. If your server was set up as an FTP server you coudl use the FTP protocol (but Acrobat does not support that). You can post the file to a server program (as you mentioned a servlet or JSP or whatever your server supports) and it can in turn write it to your server location.
Hope that helps

Email submit button issue

Hi Guys,
I have designed few forms recently and i am fairly new to livecyle, I have actually 2 issues, bit odd and i have tried to be as much discriptive as i can.
email submit button on all my forms works but it sends email to one perticular address and not to one that i programmed it to.
I.e. Form 1 - email to [email protected] - when i press submit button it will send email to [email protected]
Form 2 - email to [email protected] - when i press submit button it will send email to [email protected]
Form 3 - email to [email protected] - when submit button is pressed it sends email to [email protected]
Now when i use this button on actual form it sends email to right addresse but it is obviously in XML format and wouldnt work for us, when i use button on distributed copy of the form (created via distribute form button) it sends email to wrong addresse in PDF formate (which is the formate we like).
Also whatever i put in Email Subject box - it will always put "submitting completed form" in the email subject line.
Not sure if it makes any different but we use outlook and i have tried this from several pcs.
I think i have cheked and rechecked everything and can't fix it, any help would be great.
Process i use to create this button is - Insert >standard>email submit, i will then put desired email address and email subject in relevant fields under Object pellette.
Thanks,
H

There are two ways to set the adress in LiveCycle I know:
1st is with the button itself, second is with Javascript/Formcalc.
If I got you right and you have 3 different forms you could search for the [email protected] adress in the xml's and exchange it there or check out where the form gains the mail adress from. It's the easiest method to get rid of something you are not that sure where it is located in the form but know what it does ;D . (I had some similar problem since I overtook forms of someone else.)
Did you check this thread out? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681?tstart=0
Paul gave an example there how to deal with the various things on mail buttons.
Edit: PS: On which event did you script it? Normally you can't script on the mail button itself so you need a fake button like Paul said.
I'm also not good with Reader Extensions, since I can't experiment with those sry

Inserting a Hyperlink in the "Submit" button in forms CS4

This has got to be a nobrainer!
I created a form and at the end it has the submit button...when i go to insert a hyperlink it won't let me copy paste a url and doesn't recognize
the button....does anyone know how i can include a hyperlink for the submit button which will send the info to the new url??

You can have a Submit button with the Submit URL and the remove the back ground fill to look like a hyperlink on the form.
Thanks

Submit Button won't work

I need some help. I put a form on my page in Dreamweaver 8

Submit button on Adobe Interactive form does not send data back to ABAP

The integration of my ABAP View and Adobe works fine getting data into the form. The form is interactive and I am able to change the data. I am using ZCI and the XML Context. I display the FirstName attribute both on the ABAP View, and the Adobe Form. When I press the SUBMIT button the first time, it disables that button, but the ABAP View is not updated. I have an ONACTION event, but it doesn't get triggered at all.
Here are my specs:
Adobe Reader 8.1.1. Local
Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.01.3250.1.491864
NetWeaver 7.0 SP19
HR Support Pack 48 and Enhancement Pack 2

Hi all,
I assume the ZCI script included in the form (800.20070410093956.383622.376748 ) is too old (I guess it's from SP13 or14).
In general, I propose the following to analyze/fix these kind of problems (Web Dynpro ABAP only):
1. Check the tracefile (available from SAP NetWeaver 700 SP19): Add "&sap-wd-clientDebug=X" to the application URL and open the trace by typing <CTRL><ALT><SHIFT>T (see note 999998 too):
-> Watch for an entry "Got a message from Adobe Reader: zciReady 1: 2: 3:". If this line doesn't appear => ZCI script too old, go on with step 2
-> Watch for an entry "Got a message from Adobe Reader: zciVersion 1: 800....". That's the version of the ZCI script included in the form
-> Watch for entries containing "sendDataToServer" and "responseFromServer": If you can't find these entries, something went wrong transferring the form data to the ABAP server: Watch out for entries containing "Error", there might be a network problem.
2. Execute report FP_PDF_TEST_00 to find out the used ADS version: The corresponding ADS version of SP19 is 800.20090130093518.519793 or 800.20090608122643.560369 (look at the second part of the version string. It's a timestamp: The ZCI script included in the form is from April 2007, the ADS version of SP19 is from January/June 2009!
-> Update the ADS or patch the ADS (see notes 999998, 1229392 and 956074)
3. optional step: Have a look at note 999998, section "related notes" (this is the complete list of available notes for Web Dynpro ABAP Interactive Forms integration): Install all notes available for your release/SP - or even better: Update SAP NetWeaver (SAP_BASIS) to the latest available SP
4. Update the ZCI script of the form using transaction SFP_ZCI_UPDATE
5. Repeat step 1, I'm pretty sure that it will work now!
Regards,
Ralf

Problem in submit button on adobe form integrated with web dynpro

Hello,
I'm facing prob in triggering web dynpro event onSubmit for Interactive form.
I've created a submit button from web dynpro activex pallete on adobe form (integrated with web dynpro) to send the form as email.
Then in the web dynpro view where this form is embedded i have created an action against onSubmit event and called a method within this.
However, on clicking Submit button this event is not getting triggered.
Please let me know what is lacking in this process?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. i have developed a simple scenario under which user have to input his/her details and on submit button it will be updated to database.
I have tried the above solution but after adopting this solution all the editable fields become non-editable.
so the above solution is not working for me could you help me out.
I think ... try this....
When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
Thanks

Adobe Acrobat X Pro - Javascript for submit button

Hi,
I am new to Adobe Acrobat X Pro and I have just designed a fillable form and enabled user rights for reader, for them to send the form back as a PDF. I created the form with a submit button and have mailto:[email protected] but I want to know if it is possible to create a button that will run a javascript to bring up a persons Mircosoft Outlook contacts, so they can choose who they want to send the completed form too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Adobe form in Web Dynpro Submit Button Problem

Hi all,
I've created an Adobe form as a UI element in Web Dynpro as a development component. In this Adobe form, I've included a "Submit to SAP" button from the Web Dynpro Library.
My whole purpose is to expose this DC as a callable object into Guided Procedures and then run this process, so that the Adobe form(embedded in Web Dynpro) can be seen and allows the user to enter information online into the form or download(maintain offline) and click on the submit button. After clicking of the button, I need the control to return to the GP framework to trigger to the next action. I have configured the button in the Adobe form as a submit format -> XML data and with submit to URL "%com.sap.caf.gp.if.PostProcessorUrl%". I did this because I want it to return the control to GP framework. However, there is also another option of the event submit button in the Web Dynpro UI Adobe element -> event-> onSubmit.... i created an action onsubmit which has the code wdThis.wdGetBformController().complete();
When I run the GP process, the adobe form appears and when i click submit button, nothing happens... Does anybody know the solution?? Thanks!

Hello,
Can somebody tell me if i really need to put this code
"%com.sap.caf.gp.if.PostProcessorUrl%"
in the submit button. If so, do i need to configure somewhere what the PostProcessorUrl is? If so, can somebody tell me where i need to do this?
Thx in advance.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Adobe Acrobat submit button feature not working

Hello,
I just created a new time card using Adobe Acrobat. I'd like to make it so when the user enters their hours, they click on the submit button and it routes the form to the e-mail I've provided.
Following the directions provided by adobe (http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/acrobat/articles/acr8at_addsubmit.ht ml), I added mailto: myE-mailAddress@...
But when I tested out the form by clicking submit, a dialog box appeared asking me to save it, but then I ended up receiving NO e-mail.

When using a mailtotype URL, be sure there is no space between "mailto:" and the email address. For example:
"mailto:[email protected]"
and not
"MailTo: [email protected]"
But that's not likely to be your problem. It is up to the user to complete the sending of the email. If the user elects to save the data or PDF locally, it is up to them to then attach the file manually. In the other case, they have to complete the sending of the email. If their default email program does not get launched with the file attached, then thir system is not properly set up.

Can submit buttons or links associated with post or get requests work on iPad's Adobe Reader?

Hi,
I'm trying to call a JSPs from a PDF file using submit buttons and links created dynamically in a Java (iText) code.
All buttons and links work fine in my PC but no buttons or dynamically generated links work in my iPad (Adobe Reader 11.0.1).
Could anyone please let me know in case a workaround exists for this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo

Michael,
Thank you for your comment.
I know it is not supported. But I’m wondering whether a workaround solution was implemented somewhere. I’m sure people are trying to submit PDF’s data or even the full documents from their iPads without sending them as an e-Mail's attachement.

Marcelo

URL for configuration in HTTP SUBMIT button --urgent

Hi All,
I am in development of a urgent interactive form and I am new this. My aim is to build a interactive form ( SFP) and then place a HTTP Submit button and post the data back .
I went through the documentation and understood that W can send data in XML format back and in the server end we need to write the program to read it .. Writing progaram is ok for me . but I need to know What is the URL I in the HTTP button ( is it IP of the server ) or some other details .. how will this trigger my custom code ...
Regards
Abhilash

Hi Abhilash,
URL is url of your page, for example http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.htm. You can read more in Adobe LiveCycle Designer Help. Nevertheless the control Button from group Standard is better. Set property Control Type in tab Field to Submit and then fill new tab Submit.
If you use WebDynpro for online scenario you needn't this buttons. In such case use a button Submit from the group Web Dynpro ActiveX (if you use xACF layout) or a button Submit from the group Web Dynpro Native (if you use ZCI layout).
