Automatic submit button

How can i remove the submit button when trying to distribute my form?

Hi,
To export a FormsCentral form as a PDF that is not submission-enabled, you should use the File | Save as PDF Form... menu item.

Adobe 9 Forms Wizard automatic Submit Button - Change Email Address

Hi,
I was wondering if someone would be able to assist me with an issue I have.
I am quite a new user with Adobe 9 Standard and have created an editable form using the Adobe 9 Form Wizard. The form creates fine but when I create it for distribution it creates a submit button in the top right of the form that can be seen by users who would fill out the form and it puts an email address, subject and attachement details into the button but when I go to edit the form in Adobe 9 I am unable to see this button or edit the details as I wish to change the email address.
When I first installed Adobe 9 and created an editable form I guess I was prompted for details for this but can not find where I can change these details.
From investigating this further by opening the form in Adobe 8 then saving a copy and then opening it again in Adobe 9 I can see the button and that the button executes a Java Script, as a work around I tried to edit the Java Script but this does not appear to work.
Ideally I would not like to use the work around to change it in the Java Script but would like to know what to change to make this work (just for future reference) I would like to find out how to get Adobe to prompt me for the email details again?
Your assistance is appreciated.
With Kindest Regards

I had the same problem with the email address. Took forever to figure out, but fortunately the answer is simple. On the Acrobat menu, go to Edit > Preferences, thenin the Categories section click on "Identity". Whatever name and email address you put there will stay with the document.

How to automatically saved a pdf form into a network folder using a submit button

Good evening to everyone,
I'm more than a beginner on adobe development reason why I would like to apologize first if my questions are dumbs. :-(
I would like to know if 'Adobe 9 Professional Extended' has the possibility to put some code into a submit button in order for the pdf form to be saved with a unique name and into a Network folder located into an Encryption Server where we handle our PII. Is it? Over the past two weeks I've been digging into the documentation but I'm unable to find something that will help me to accomplish our headquarters requirements.
If there is no possibility, is there any programming language that adobe accepts in order to configure a piece of code that will store the file into a network folder? Perhaps VB or C-SHARP?
Whatever feedback anyone can give, I deeply appreciate it.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Mr. Chaney!
I do have more questions based on your recomendation.
From my understanding, JavaScript or FormCalc will be my only options, right? If that's the case, how can a scripting language (client server side) allow me to transfer automatic saved files into a Network folder within my company intranet? I downloaded the Scripting Basic manual and all the scenarios and code are client server side such as, changing background color, add effects to a button and so on.
I did find a command under FormCalc called "PUT" can I use this command to transfer a pdf file into a Virtual Directory folder? All the examples I saw were for XML files.
Greetings,

Can I use a submit button that will automatically flatten and open up the save as screen?

Hello,
I'm working with forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I want the submit button to flatten the document then open the save as screen. I know I can print to pdf and this automatically will open that screen, but these forms are going to be used with tablets that may or may not have the "print to adobe" as an option. Is there another way to flatten? I know the PDF Optimizer will do that too, but it isn't an executable option in the button properties. Magic anyone? Thanks.

It depends very much on the platform and the applications used by the users of this form. If they are using non-Adobe software, all bets are off.
Also, some tablets (iPad) don't support JS, so even if they do use Adobe's Reader for the iOS, there's not much that can be done in the way of scripting.
Generally speaking: In Acrobat you can flatten the form, but in Reader that's not possible. What you can do, though, is create a function that makes the form fields read-only, thus preventing the user from editing them after having submitted the file.

Form distribution submit button: how to avoid this or remove it when it's automatically inserted?

I've form(s), created in Acrobat X Pro, that I want to put on a web page for download and fill in. I tried this with FDF but... because I have a number of forms it proved very time consuming to match the FDF data to the relevant form. I'm now trying to do this through acrobat,com and form distribution.
Help pages for Acrobat X Pro state;
"Home / Using Acrobat X Pro / Forms
Setting action buttons
Add a submit button
When you distribute a form, Acrobat automatically checks the form. If it doesn’t find a submit button, it adds a Submit Form button to
the document message bar. Users can click the Submit Form button to send completed forms back to you. If you don’t plan to use the
Submit Form button created by Acrobat, you can add a custom submit button to your form."
My form already has a submit button (whose target I changed to acrobat.com) which also submits to PayPal for payment and pops up a warning message to avoid (hopefully) double submission etc. (which works OK in the undistributed form) but the wizard doesn't detect this and inserts an additional submit button - top right, in the purple area.
How can I avoid this or remove it?

Automatically triggering the Submit button (Sample Transaction Module)

Hello everyone,
The requirement is to trigger the Submit button when the transactions are created via Web Service.
Basically, i want to update the Status field to 'Submitted' once a new tranasction is created.
The reason i am not able to update this field via Web service call is that, Status field is the internal read-only field provided by Oracle.
Even if we change it through Admin (in the page layout), it doesnt work as i mentioned that it is a read-only field.
Is there any other way that i trigger the submit button once my web service call inserts / creates a new transaction ?
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

From the form editor/Livecycle Designer within the SAP GUI (t-code SFP), go to the very TOP menu (not the Livecycle Designer menu)
1. Click "Utilities"
2. Click "Insert Webdynpro Script".
You will see "ContainerFoundation_JS" added to your form. This allows your ZCI form to react appropriately.

Distributed form missing "automatic" Submit Form button

I am going crazy and running out of time.
I created a form in Acrobat. I distributed the form using SharePoint. It worked great. For me and my test user. I sent the distributed file to my boss so she could try it and there was no Submit Form button. The purple forms bar was there; Highlight Fields was there; there was no Submit Form button. I tried it on another user's computer and no Submit Form was there. I tried it on our terminal server with a test user (set up like a standard user), and there was a Submit Form button. I tried it on a computer outside our network and no Submit Form button was there. I also had my boss try it in the terminal server (known working computer) and no Submit Form button was there.
I have looked around the net and found a JavaScript reference that hid a Submit Form button, but that is a different, ugly, email-only button meant for backwards-compatibility.
This is so effing frustrating. I can't find a single reason the Submit Form button will show up for some and not others.
I submitted it via e-mail. I open it within Terminal Services, logged in as me, and the Submit button wasn't there. I open it with my Test user (a standard user, not admin or anything) and the Submit button is there. I open it on my local machine and the Submit button is there. WTF IS GOING ON, ADOBE??? I am so frustrated right now.

On this machine I only have AA5. I was able to open the first form, but saw no submit button anywhere. The second form would not open. I might try it with AA7 a bit later (the only versions I have at home).
I was able to check the various radio buttons and type in the text boxes. The text boxes seem to wrap correctly.
I assume folks will be fine with the exceeds expectations being on the left. In many surveys, the best is on the right and not on the left. However, I am not sure there is any standard for that and you have been consistent. I was wondering how you were going to take care of the signatures. It looks like you are going to do them by hand - I guess the advantage is that all the signers would see the entire evaluation before signing. The alternative would be to introduce digital signatures in some sense, possibly using the Acrobat route.
Again, I see no submit button. Bill

How can I get one Submit button to perform three actions?

I have a 2-page form. One page is completed by an HR person, entering fields that describe a new role, new pay, new hours or a new location for an existing employee. The second page automatically repeats the name, location and job role fields, but also completes the IT requirements linked to the job role (such as whether or not the role needs access to a particular piece of software or not).
The users of the form will have varying degress of IT capability. I wan to enable them to press a single Submit button that does three things: first, print the first page of a two-page form AND e-mail the same page to one e-mail address. Second: e-mail the second page only to a DIFFERENT e-mail address.
I am not a Javascript expert - or even a beginner. Can anyone help? I need to get this ready for Tuesday! Thanks in advance

You will need two buttons on your form to be able to do this.
One is the actual submit button (this will interact with th email system and do the submit). Note that you cannot write programs on a submit button. You will need to make this button invisible to the user. The second button will be a regular button which you can write programs on. Use teh click event of that button. This one will have logic to accomplish the things that you want ...here is some pseudo code to do this:
use print command and one of the parms indicates which pages to print.
Set up the submit button to hold the email address of the person recieving it.
Programmatically click the hidden submit button.
Note that the user will recieve a dialog from the mail client to OK before teh form will be sent.
Set up the submit button to change the email address
Programmatically click the submit button again
User will recieve another dialog to OK the email submission
Also you cannot email part of the form it will have to be the whole form. You coudl get a little more sophisticated and hide parts of the form but the whole form will be sent with the emails. This will need more programming on your part.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

How do I remove the submit button?

I have a form that provides information only. Is it possible to remove the submit button. There is also a text input box at the base of the form with no provision for deleteing. How can I delete this?.

When you convert a web form that you've created in FormsCentral and download as a PDF, you have the option of not including a submit button. If you created a PDF form with the desktop version of Acrobat, it won't have a submit button unless you upload it to the FormsCentral service and enable it for submission.
Still, you can remove it in Acrobat by first saving a non-enabled version by selecting: File > Save A Copy
and opening the copy (it doens't happen automatically) and deleting the button.

Adobe form with Webdynpro - Form is hanging on click of Submit button

Hello Experts,
My View has an adobe form that has many dropdowns and input fields. There are some fields which get automatically populated based on entries made by the users. There are several internal tables getting populated in the WDDOINIT method. I have a 'Submit Button' which when clicked should close the browser, retrieve data in the Context and do processing in SAP.
When I click on the submit button, I get a 'Wait' symbol (the circle symbol) for a very long time and then the Connection time out error comes up.
I commented the population of some internal tables in the 'Init' method. when I tested by clicking this button, it worked. The browser got closed and processing in SAP was done too.
I am working with a fairly large data. 2-3 of the internal tables (that I commented) have 2000-3000 records. Is there is restriction on how much data the WDN can handle? I am stuck now because even though all codes are correct, the wdn is not able to handle the data.
Any suggestions ?
appreciate all your help! Regards, Liz

This issue is resolved. This was due to loading a large data set to the form.

Submit button with autoclose

Hi Folks!
I have created a simple popup window which takes some data from the form. What I would like is to be able to submit the popup window and the automatically close it.
To achieve this I have created a Submit button and the a branch process which is fired. As my URL Target I placed the following :
javascript:window.close();
The popup opens OK, and processes everything OK. However instead of closing itself I get the "Page cannot be displayed" error.
Note, that when I use the same approach with a button without submit - the window closes OK.
Any ideas?

Just found it ;)
Instead of creating a branch just add a process (after all your other processes) with "Close popup window"
This is ready available in 2.2.1 - nice and easy!
Regards,
Pawel.

Submit Button Acrobat 9 Pro & Select Email Client Screen

I'm new to Acrobat and creating forms and need help. I've created a few forms for work using 8 Pro, which have been successful. I decided to purchase 9 Pro for home and use for our school's PTU membership drive.
I created a form using a Word doc and the Acrobat Form Wizard. It worked, I adjusted my fields, added a Submit button with mailto:[email protected] as the URL and want to distribute the form as "save and distribute later." This works. When I bring up the form for a test run, and submit to myself I get a pop up asking to Select Email Client - do I use Outlook (a few others are also listed) or Yahoo or Hotmail as my email servers. If I click Outlook, everything is fine, the document gets forwarded to me with no problem (because I use Outlook). My concern is for members who don't use Outlook (or the others). They have to go through more steps by saving the doc to their hard drive and emailing it to me as an attachment. I would really like to avoid extra steps for them.
It there a something I'm missing in setting up my Submit button so it automatically gets emailed to me irregardless as to what they are using for email server?
I have searched for 2 hours and have come up with nothing that I understand. If you respond, please remember to be clear as I'm not a techno person.
Thanks for ANY and ALL help you can provide.

You are running into some of the classic problems/concerns for new users with forms. I will try to summarize the issues related to your work:
1. You can create forms directly in Acrobat under the TOOLS menu using the form tools found there, or by selecting the options in the FORMS menu that generally take you to LiveCycle Designer. Questions on the forms should be put to the appropriate forum of these two, since the processing and menus are different.
2. Having the forms be allowed to be saved (necessary for submitting the full form and not just the data that can be imported to the form) requires Reader Rights to be activated for clients using Reader. This activation limits the form use to 500 uses (check section 15 of the EULA for more details) that could be a problem for you, depending on the school size. If you have the form data submitted and do not activate the Rights, then there is not a limitation. Simply import the XML or FDF file into the form when you get it.
3. The e-mail submission you have concerns about is valid. If you do not mind getting questions that it would not work on their machine, then fine. The e-mail submission will not work on all machines (PC , MAC, or UNIX). It depends on the client setup (you have no control), historically requiring MAPI to be active (typical of Outlook, but not other packages). In AA9/AR9 there appear to have been some extensions to this, but a lot of folks use version 9. In fact I have a different version that has come on every machine I have and do not have AA9 yet (AA4-AA8), with even older versions lying around some place. A few weeks ago someone checked in who was using AA4. Since I mentioned this problem, the solutions are:
a. live with it and ask folks who can not submit to copy the info into the body of an e-mail or such.
b. find someone who can add the proper scripts to a web server to receive the data. The school IT folks (if any) might be able to help there.
c. submit the data in HTML form through a cgi-mail or formmail server that is available on many ISP servers (you may have to ask). These servers require some hidden fields telling the server where to send the submitted form data.
Hope that helps. Bill

Multiple Submit buttons in Adobe form !

Hello Experts,
Scenario :
Form has Material number as input field and Material description should get automatically populated( maybe as a script or button , dont know yet ). Then the form is to be submitted at the backend.
I have created an Adobe interactive form with Multiple Submit buttons( one is Submit toSAP) button , other is a normal pushbutton( for Material desc to be populated ) . I have been able to Submit data at backend.
But problem is there is only one event on the Interactive form UI element properties.
Please suggest how to achieve the above ? via script or sm code in web dynpro ?
System Config : WAS 6.4 / SP12 .
Need a quick resolution. Generous points for help.
Regards,
Sonika

Hi Sonika,
control_param structure is used in case of ISR forms, but I dont think your form is related to the ISR.
Use a context attribute, and set its value to get the Material description from backend.
Like you can define an attribute in context, "GETDESCRIPTION", and set its value at the exit event of Inputfield to "GET".
$.parent.GETDESCRIPTION.rawvalue = "GET"
app.eval("event.target.SAPSubmit();");
And at the click event of the button you can write:
$.parent.GETDESCRIPTION.rawvalue = "SET"
app.eval("event.target.SAPSubmit();");
And in the backend, read the value of this attribute and perform the desired action.
Hope this helps,
Amit

How to distribute a form with multiple submit buttons?

I have a form that has multiple submit buttons depending on the information that is being entered and then who the information should go to. When I try to disbribute the form, I get an error message stating the following, "Acrobat is unable to distribute this form because it contains multiple submit buttons with different formats or return URLs." Is anyone able to let me know how I can distribute the form?

Sounds as if you need your own web script to process submissions - written by an experienced web programmer (I very strongly recommend someone familiar with all the latest security weaknesses, and not a project for anyone else). Your needs are (it seems to me) too complex for Adobe's automatic system.
