Can't add submit button to form

i am trying to add a submit button to my form but Acrobat does not recognize it.
My goal is to post a PDF form on our website and when a user fills it out and clicks the submit button, it automatically gets emailed to us. Is Acrobat 8 Pro able to do this?
Thanks

> when I choose to submit the data to the website, where do I enter the username and password to allow the data to be saved here?
I think you misunderstand what "submit" means. This is a very common
misunderstanding, but it is quite wrong. "Submit" does not mean "save
a copy" by connecting and storing a file, with or without a password.
When a PDF form is submitted, or when an HTML form is submitted, a
connection is made to the server. On the server, a script (program) is
run. This may be a CGI/PHP/ASP written by an experienced web
programmer. The script has a URL.
When the script runs, information about the form fields is sent, and
the script can connect to a database, send an e-mail, or do whatever
else you need (and the programmer is capable of).

Can I add Action button on each page of my pdf document

I have created many power point slides with an action button on each slide that allows the user to click to display a video clip.   I would like to create a pdf document of this and replace each of my action button in ppt with an action button that works in Acrobat.
I noticed that action buttons can be added to forms, but I want to be able to add an Action Button on each of my ppt slides to start playing a video clip (each slide will have a different video).
I would like to do this using any coding method (i.e. Javascript, VBA, C , etc).   I think acrobat uses Javascript.
The reason, is that I want to display my power point slides on an IPad and they don't support hyperlink in power point.   I believe IPad does suppport the full acrobat capabilities.
Can this be done ??
Any suggestions where to start ??
Thank You,
G

NO problem creating the buttons and then playing this back in Acrobat. Works great.
However, unfortunately, none of the PDF viewers for the iPad support playing movies.   So playing it there won't work :(.

If i have a form with check boxes. Can I add a button that will display the boxes that the user selected on a new page?

For example, there are 10 check boxes and the user selects 5 of those boxes. Then they click a submit button. Just the information from those boxes would be displayed so they can print it. Is this possible? Any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

That is definitely possible.
Option 1: checkboxes are all named differently.
In the click event for the submit button, add some code like this...
if (cbChoice1 == "1") p2.tfChoice1.presence = "visible";
else p2.tfChoice1.presence = "hidden"; //can use "invisible" if preferred
if (cbChoice2 == "1")...
Option 2: checkboxes are named the same
In the click event for the submit button, add code like this...
var checkboxes = xfa.resolveNodes("cbChoice[*]");
var textfields = xfa.resolveNodes("p2.tfChoice[*]");
for (i=0; i<checkboxes.length; i++){
if( checkboxes.item(i).rawValue == "1") textfields.item(i).presence = "visible";
else textfields.item(i).presence = "hidden";

Email submit button in forms central doc

hello needing to know in forms central how to insert an email submission button to our transportation dept. the form is created but struggling with the mail submission button to their dept., thanks

The procedure for enabling a document in Acrobat depends on which version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
Do not use the "Distribute Form" process, which also enables the form but adds other things so it can be used with Tracker and perhpas submit to Acrobat.com.
The submit button should be configured to submit the entire PDF using a mailto type URL and the users should use Adobe Reader since other PDF viewers may not support this method of submitting. When the button is clicked, it should initiate an email with the filled-in PDF attached. With FormsCentral, you get the form data and not the complete PDF.

Submit button in form central.

can i choose not to use the form central submit button. I have added a submit button in adobe before i have uploaded it so the completed form goes directly to a person not onto the form central site. I just need the completed pdf form to come directly to me.

How can I add a button to add multiple image in PDF from using adobe acrobat pro?

I have to create a pdf form using Adobe Acrobat Pro X.
In this form I want to add a button where I can add multiple images to the field.
I have tried using javascript event.target.buttonImportIcon(); and successfully add an image, but when I want to add the 2nd image it automatically overwrites the previous one.
Is there any way to solve this issue? I would like to have a form where I can add a lot of images in it. It is possible in word, but we really have to use adobe.
Thanks

Hi thanks for your answer.
I can add multiple button, but if there are 10 images that I wan to add, then I have to create 10 buttons.
Moreover, the pictures will be placed on top of each other and it means that you cannot see it clearly.

Notes: Called by FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
FORM set_pf_status USING rt_extab TYPE slis_t_extab.
SET PF-STATUS 'ZSTANDARD'.
ENDFORM. "Set_pf_status
In the above case the GUI status copied was named ZSTANDARD and adjusted accordingly, adding and removing the desired buttons. A button was added called '%DELETE'.

Can I add a customer comment form to a standard product manual?

We just recevied Acrobat X (and Frame 9 before that) and would like to use forms or form fields to get comments back on the docs (pdfs and HTML) from paying customers. So far, I have created a small form in a huge document (only 4-6 pages but with videos, fonts, etc.) and it's too big to email. Can I put it on a repository and get comments back? Is the adobe distribution server the only way to do this? Am I way off base with this concept? Thanks for any suggestions or clarification.

Dear Ricardo,
Step1) First create the java script file in that you have to write the following code.
<script type = "text/javascript">
function close_windows()
window.close();
function DisableBackButton()
history.forward();
</script>
<html>
<head><title> close </title>
</head>
<form>
<script language="javascript">DisableBackButton();
</script>
<body>
<input type = "button" value = "close" onClick="close_windows();"/>
</body>
</form>
</html>
step 2) go to se80 in that mime repository go to sap create folder and export the above file.
step 3) go to your view where you want to add exit button.
check the link and write the code to your exit button methods.

Hope this helps u.,

Can't See Submit Button?

Hi I have a form to fill out, I've downloaded Adobe Reader 9, and have completed the form I am not able to save any filled out parts nor does it print fully. I have previous filled out the form using reader 6 ---- it had a submit button that didn;t work. On Adobe Reader 9 there is no submit button - unless it is hidden somewhere? There is a highlight fields button and a note about not being able to save and to print in document message but no submit button. When i try to attach as an email a warning comes up saying about the submit button. Is there smething I can do to make the submit button appear? Can you even do this in adobe reader 9? Is there any other way I can fil out this form?
Thanks heaps

You and your partner might have different browsers, different versions of the same browser, or most likely a fervent version of the PDF plug-in.
See if just clicking on the Enter key sends the form in.

"Submit "buttons on forms in various websites do not render in 18.0.1 but render in other browsers.

After 18.0.1 was released forms in our inhouse applications and some external websites "submit" button does not render.
- Buttons render correctly in current versions of other browsers IE,Chrome, Opera.
- Latest release of Java installed.

Yep .... I too would rather have seen more time put into that kind of stuff than parallax scrolling.

Hide submit button in form

Hi all,
I have an interactive form with a submit button that i displayed online thru webdynpro for the user to key in data. And when user clicked on the submit button, i will validate the data in the webdynpro action handler, and will send out a copy of the same form as an attachment in email.
But when sending this form in email, i do not want the email recipient to see the submit button when they open up the form to view. And the form should be in display mode as well.
So 2 questions:
1. how do i go about hiding the submit button and setting the form in display mode?
2. For setting the form in display mode... i currently uses cl_wd_adobe_services create_pdf method to generate the xstring for email, so i can set the enable = ' '. Any other way to do this if i going to use the xstring from pdfsource of the interactive form UI element?

Hi,
For Hiding the UI elements in Interactive form try using Scripts (FormCalc).
The script for hiding the Submit Button is:
<path of the UI element in the Subform>.presence = "visible" / "hidden"
The Script for making a field editable / read-only is:
<path of the UI element in the Subform>.access = "readOnly" (Not Sure about the casing
For more information, refer to the bolg:

Customizing the text of next,back, and submit buttons in form guides

Hi,
We are preparing some forms in Turkish language. So, we need to change the text of next, back and submit buttons in the form guides. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks for your help.

This can be done via Flex Builder. There is a good Next panel button example in this guide:http://help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/fggettingstarted.pdf. I believe you can also control the text via the style sheet applied to the guide.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Button click="{panels.selectedIndex++}"
enabled="{panels.selectedIndex < panels.length-1}"
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import ga.views.PanelListView;
private var panels:PanelListView = PanelListView.instance;
]]>
</mx:Script>
</mx:Button>
