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.

  • Button that will pause project AND open URL

    how can I create a button, that upon clicking will pause the
    movie, and open a URL in another window. I've got javascript that
    opens another window, but the movie doesn't pause. I uncheck the
    'pause movie' box because I want the user to have the option of
    clicking on the button or not. The 'Continue playing project'
    option in the pull down that appear after selecting Execute
    Javascript, doesn't work. I've tried unchecking it.

    Hi there oddrhythm
    You have posted this identical question three different times
    now. I realize you haven't yet received an answer, but if we have
    multiple posts asking the same question, it makes searching the
    forums later more difficult for others that have the same question.
    Anyone choosing to reply should direct the reply to the

    I have a thought on how you might achieve what you are

  • Which software can i use for recovery management that will allow me to use DVD's instead of Flashdsk

    which software can i use for recovery management that will allow me to use DVD's instead of Flashdisk? I find DVD's easier to use. i am using windows 10

    As the other posters wrote in order to take a movie file and turn it into a DVD that can be played in standard DVD players you need a DVD authoring application. That you need a separate program to create the DVD is standard procedure and has been that way since the beginning. All Apple produce that can produce video files require an external authoring program. iMovie, iPhoto and Final Cut all do this.
    One other thing I will comment on is your choice of output format. You will almost certainly be disappointed with the video quality of your finished DVD if you put a HD video on a SD DVD. Unless you plan to burn a bluray disk you will get a better quality video if you output as SD if you plan to burn to an SD disk.

    Hello Bobejoe.
    Can I send a mail attachment that will automatically open
    when the recipient opens the message.
    No, fortunately.

    This doesn’t make sense. What do you mean?
    Why is this?
    It isn’t.

  • When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

    When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

    See if the following help.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

  • I need a function that will go through and encrypt all the strings

    I want to use one way enryption and need a function that will

    I also need a function that compares a test password string

    Apparently it's not as simple as I thought. My first instinct
    was
    update yourtable set password = '#hash(password)#'
    but that will crash
    This is inefficient, but you only have to do it once.
    query1
    select id, password thepassword

  • Which form would work best with a Filemaker database? PDF or HTML? and can we use a submit button to do this?

    We are looking at developing work forms for a project that will use a submit button to send the data from the form to a Filemaker database. My question is can this be done with a PDF or do we need to convert it to a HTML form?

    The architecture is not submit form - database, not exactly. It's submit form - web app - database. The crucial thing is the web app, perhaps one of CGI/PHP/ASP/others... FileMaker Pro seems a slightly unusual choice for a web back end, but there is a FileMaker Pro Server product. (Regular FileMaker is out of the question).
    So, you can have a web app which takes HTML format submits and updates a database. What about PDF?
    * PDF can submit the same format as HTML, so the same backend can work
    * PDF can submit other formats, FDF or XFDF. The web script could handle these.
    Frankly, if HTML is an option I'd go with HTML. There are many important compatibility issues with PDF forms, since so many browsers now do not use Adobe technology, and have their own. In these alternatives, form support goes from nonexistent to flaky, via badly broken.

  • How can I creat a control button that will allow the vi to run?

    Instead of pressing the run button, I want to creat my own run button that will allow my vi to run.
    Any idea?
    Thank you

    First you need to set the VI to Run When Opened (VI Properties>Execution). Then you create a front panel Boolean. On the diagram what you need to do is have some sort of idle state where nothing is done until the Boolean is pressed. It could be a separate while loop that doesn't exit until the Boolean is pressed, an Event Structure, or as part of a state machine. Look at the shippings examples Queued Message Handler, New Event Handler, Using Buttons for Options to name just a few.

    How can you get your submit buttons on the quiz template to be a single click instead of the default double click?  (The option to choose double click or not is not showing in properties for this).

    Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?

  • How can I create a simple app that will automatically add folder script

    Hi! I hope I can get a little help on this.  I tried searching online and haven't found anything.
    Is there away I can make a simple "application" that will automatically add a folder script to a users folder?
    Basically I need a folder script to run but I don't want to explaint o a user how they'd have to do it in automator.
    I'd like to be able to create an application they double click.  The app tells them to select a folder then automatically runs the script.
    Does anyone have any ideas of how'd I'd do this?

    Oh I get it. Yeah I read you post on one of the other pages and didn't quite understand, but not that you say that your're makeing this for another user, it makes sence.
    So what you want to do is have the computer automatically install a script on a customer's computer, right?
    (I'm using "custumer" loosly; i.e. just another user)
    If that's what you'd like to do, then you'll probably have to write an actual program in Xcode, since I imagine automiticlly installing folder action scrips will be highly discuraged by Apple because it would cause a huge security hole in the OS. (You wouldn't want some random person sending you a folder action installer disgused as a regular app LOL.)
    But I will actually suggest the following, which I think will work great for your users:
    Make a regular Automator app, and drag it to your Dock. Now, have the user click and drag a bunch of photos to the application icon, and it will run the app automatically on those files.
    You could try a work flow like this:
    ask the user Are you sure?
    convert pictures
    save pictures to ConvertedPics folder
    pop up a confirmation message saying that everything was resized
    Hope this helps

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How can I create a submit button that only saves?

    Our end users will save the completed form and later upload it to anotherg place.  I created a save button that works fine, but without a Submit button there is nothing to trigger the reminder to go back and answer required questions.  I don't want to lose that part.  Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer!

    Would something like this work for you?
    var OKToSave = true;
    if (tfSomething.isNull) {
              tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
              OKToSave = false;

  • Can Designer create a submit button that works in Acrobat Reader

    Just got Adobe Professional 7.0 for Windows XP. Was able to design a form in Professional that works in Acrobat Reader (the majority of my users do not have the full product). To do this I set the email button to export the data in a .fdf format. I received the full form as an attachment in my email.
    I then brought up the form in Designer 7.0 to use its expanded design capability. The button choices for the email submit button did not allow me to select a format and the saved file would not work in Adobe Reader. I then changed the button to a plain button using the submit control type. I found several submit format choices (XML, PDF, etc.). I saved the file in a variety of the choices but could not get Adobe Reader to send the format versions. FDF was not a choice. XML works but I would rather see the full form directly as an email attachment instead of taking the extra step of importing the XML data into the form
    Anybody have a work around?

    Andrej -
    Can you be more specific about what is needed and how to do it? I just downloaded the trial version of Designer and Document Server 6. I've created the form with a submit button but it ain't working.
    I want the "Submit by email" button to do just that - send the viewable .pdf (not just the data).
    To take a step back - I can't even get the darn button to send anything. I have the info entered correctly in Designer but when the buttons clicked, an error msg. reads: "An error occured while sending mail". That tells me a whole lot of nothing. Is it because it's the trial version, or is there something else going on?
    Anyway can you explain how to use Reader Extension Server in conjunction with Designer?
    Thanks -
