Can't email fill-able form

Hi I can't email a completed fill-able form.
It reads (Acrobat is unable to connect to your email program)
thanks Tom

Hi genshield,
To email a PDF, you will have to have a valid desktop email application(like microsoft outlook) on your machine.
If you dont have an email application configured on your machine, you can use adobe SendNow Online from tools->send files.

Can fill-able forms created in Acrobat 9 work with SharePoint 2013 workflow?

Okay so here's the deal.....
I have a few HR forms that need to be searchable and created as workflows in SharePoint 2013. Creating a custom list will not work because it is not a built to create forms. Integrating InfoPath would be ideal, but it will not work either because the company
will not pay for Enterprise licensing.
So my question is....what if I created a fill-able form in Acrobat and uploaded to SharePoint. Can I create a workflow from the document. The only question is, when the user fill out the form, where it will go? There is no submit button.
I guess the REAL question is, other than InfoPath, is there a work around to having forms on SharePoint that can be created as a workflow and made searchable. Did I mention that the forms must be fill-able.
Hope I make sense.

No, you cannot submit form values of a acrobat to SharePoint. You can use list form for basic form, else try using jquery to build custom forms as an alternative for infopath. Refer to the following codeplex solution. You could use this or build one similar
to that using the source code.

User Cannot Click on Hyperlinks in Fill-able Form

We use Acrobat Pro 10 / LiveCycle Desginer to create our fill-able forms to then publish on our website. Our users can click the form on our webpage, the PDF opens in Chrome just fine and they can fill in the fields. But when a user trys to click on the Hyperlinks, the Hand doesn't turn into the Finger allowing you to click the link and go to the webpage. When looking at the properties of this PDF, I can see there are restrictions. I only want to allow my customers to click on the Hyperlinks. Keep in mind, they are using Chrome with default Chrome PDF Viewer. Also, many of our internal users do not use Adobe to view/edit PDFs. Their default PDF viewer if eCopy or PowerPDF, so when they open this form in those applications, the Hyperlinks do not work either. The hyperlinks only work if I open with Adobe.
Also, I saw a security restriction in the document properties where is says can only be opened with Acrobat.
Is there way to modify this?

Not sure what you mean by just the text for the hyperlink. These are true hyperlinks where there is a work or phase that shows up bold blue in the document. If I use Adobe Reader or Acrobat to view the Doc, I can click on the Hyperlinks. But other PDF programs and Chrome does not allow anyone to click on the Hyperlinks.

I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form created in Acrobat being non savable in Reader

Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
Trying to save other as extended reader has not worked, also if I save the attachment file as an extended reader first I am unable to attach a return hyperlink back to the Parent document,
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

I have tried to save the attachment as extended but that has not worked and also if done before inserting than the return hyperlink to the parent document will not connect because editing in not allowed.
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

You can't. Before Reader 11, you could prevent Reader users from saving by not Reader-enabling the form, but users with Acrobat, Reader for iOS, and some non-Adobe PDF viewers could fill-in and save. Reader 11 now allows filled-in forms to be saved even if the document does not include usage rights.

Here is the code, thought I had put it in the first time, guess not heh. Anyway, I converted the arrayList(accountList) to a String so that I could see the that element I am trying to index is in there, which it is. I also checked the file that i'm populating the arrayList from and it also has the element in it.
public static void getAccountNumbers() {
          accountList = LoadStoreAccounts.readCollectionObject();
          accountInfo = accountList.toString();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, accountInfo);
          acctNumIndex = accountList.indexOf(accountNumber);
          acctIndex = String.valueOf(acctNumIndex);
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Index of accountNumber    is: " + acctIndex);

How can I save filled Adobe Form?

Hallo experts,
I use Adobe Forms in my Webdypro application.
In Form setPDFSourse set dynamically (read from SAP as byte[]) , I do not know the Context.
How can I save filled Adobe Form, because I must show the Form by next Step in anothe window?
Thank you very much!

This sounds to me like a client-side problem whith adobe reader plugin in your browser. What is your reader version?
You can try the following to check if there is any content in the byte[]:
String s = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfData().length + "";
byte[] test = s.getBytes();
final IWDCachedWebResource resource =
               WDWebResource.getWebResource(
                    test,
                    WDWebResourceType.TXT);
try {
     final IWDWindow window =
     wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(
          resource.getAbsoluteURL(),
          "Window title",
          false);
     window.open();
} catch (Exception e) {
     wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException(
     new WDNonFatalException(e),
     false);

Why can't I email filled out forms?

I fill out a form, but when I email it it sends a blank.

Hi Posrthos,
Your data is in the form, but Apple's email application doesn't display forms or comments in PDF properly when it shows the preview. The recipient of the email will be able to open the PDF in Adobe Reader and see the filled out form correctly, regardless of this issue in iOS.
We have reported this problem to Apple and are working with them to make sure that they understand the PDF specification, but do not have any info on when or whether they will fix the display in their email app.
Thanks

Having Reader be able to save a completed fill able form.

Is there any way to allow someone with Reader to have the ability to save the information added in on a fill able PDF form? I have tried several different things and it always says it can only save a blank document.
What about having the email submit button automatically email the person who is filling the information in? As in the email will vary based on which desktop it is being filled on.
Or do they need standard or professional? If so, would standard do the job?

Trust me, Acrobat Pro will allow you to both save the filled out PDF AND save the XML, separately. Reader WILL NOT allow you to do this, but if you have an email button. The point of reader extensions is to allow people without Acrobat to be able to save a filled out form, thus why reader is free. Reader extensions works on a form by form basis, so it can be portable. Acrobat Pro, which ISNT free, allows you to do all of this, which is why it isnt free. The point is that Adobe doesnt want anyone to have any save capability without having to pay for it first. If you have a form with an email submit button, you can open it in reader, click it, and email the xml with the values in it.

Newbie with fill-able form distribution questions

Please can someone help me understand a few things about creating electronic forms in LiveCyle Designer ES so our HR department can:
Make the blank forms available on our Intranet
Make the forms fill-able by our own employees with Intranet access and Acrobat Reader 6 and above.
Allow the form and the form data to be emailed back to HR as an PDF attachment
Allow HR to send out the part filled form as an email attachment to Authorising managers (numerous people involved in the authorisation process)
Allow the authorising managers to submit their authorisations back to HR
Allow HR to store and print the completed forms with all the authorisations (not digital signatures, just email addresses I think)
Is the above possible just using LiveCycle Designer ES (stand-alone version) to create the forms, saving as 6.x, setting the compatibility tab settings correctly, sending to HR so they can do the distribution bit in Acrobat and then putting the form_distributed.pdf file on the Intranet? Or do we need other tools to accomplish the above?
Best Regards to all.

I'm pretty sure this is possible with a standalone version of LiveCycle Designer. I don't believe any of the functionality you described requires a LiveCycle server. My only caution would be the use of Adobe Reader 6.0. At the very least, if you can push the use Reader 7.0 (or even better 8.0), your ideas will function better. There is a pretty big gap from 6.0-7.0. If you'd like to discuss this further, feel free to email me.
Hope this helps!

Can no longer fill out form--what happened?

I have an important form saved on my computer that had a typo in it, so I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Acrobat Pro X, corrected the typo, then deleted the free trial. However, when I open the form with Adobe Reader I can no longer fill out the form. I was able to fill out the form just fine before I edited it with the free trial of Pro X. Is there any way I can fix this? I did not change any settings (as far as I know), I only corrected a typo in the form and now I am having the problem of no longer being able to fill it out. I appreciate any help, the form is for an important job application.

If the document was Reader-enabled so that Reader was able to save the filled-in form, and you used Acrobat to make changes to the text on a page (as opposed to text in a form field), the usage rights were removed. The modified document will have to be Reader-enabled, which is done with Acrobat.

Adobe Reader Mac 9 can't save filled-in forms?

It appears that Adobe Reader Mac version 9.0.0 can no longer save filled-in forms. Using Reader Mac 8, I could save my last year's IRS Form 1040 PDF with all the fields filled in. Now, when I open the 2007 IRS 1040 PDF downloaded from their website today, I get a message:
"This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer enabled in this Reader version."
I get the same message when I open my 1040 PDF that I saved with fields filled in earlier this year with Reader Mac 8. That PDF still contains my filled-in values, but I can't save any changes.
Has Adobe disabled saving filled-in forms in Reader Mac 9? If so, was it by accident or on purpose? If on purpose, why?

Is there a tutorial for uploading fill- able forms to website and making them submit-table?

I want to upload a couple of fillable forms (pdf's) to website and allow customers to fill and submit. Is there a tutorial out there for this that someone could point me to? I can't seem to find one that really answers my questions.

A problem you'll encounter with those types of forms is security when transmitting the data. Obviously, the forms will contain sensitive information, and using email or a non-secure posting to a web server would not be acceptable. I personally would not send such data that way.
It's possible to set up the form and web server so that the data is submitted securely. If your web server can handle that, it would be the best way to go. You would have to somehow program the web server to manage it all. Now I'm being vague, but that's because there are a lot of details to consider.

I have OS 10.9.2 and have downloaded latest version of Reader 11. I can no longer fill in form or scroll using the side bar.

How do I get it to work? I am thinking of going back to an earlier version.
Thanks.

Well, I have tried filling up the same IRS Form 1040 on my Mac machine with Reader 11.0.07 installed and faced no such issue. I even downloaded the PDF to my machine and I was still able to fill-up the form.
How are downloading the PDF file? Hope you are using the Save as option from with in Reader plugin and not the Safari Saved as option. The detailed instructions for doing so are as follows:
Just click on any of the buttons highlighted in below screenshots to Save a pdf at any location on your machine.
or
To summarize the issue, if you had opened an Internet PDF in a browser plug-in, you must use the save feature in the plug-in, not the Safari File > PDF Export, or File > Save As...
