Cannot Distribute PDF Form to Email

I've created a form and have everything set. Then I go to "Distribute Form" and enter the email address and other pertinent info of who will receive completed form... It then will not advance to the next dialog box to actually get the form functioning to be able to "Submit." Any all help with the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Okay I just found the answer that  worked for me on another post and it is pasted below: Now I did select remember my selection but then I unselected it and it still fixed what ever was wrong with the issue.

Re: Cannot distribute form
OK - I figured it out but not sure why it works. Picking Distribute Form and having it automatically remember my selection is where it fouls up. When that screen opens (see my screencap) I pick my method again and it restarts the wizard and it works.

  • Trouble distributing PDF Form. Emailing fails

    I have an PDF form I created and wish to distribute to my clients.  Once filled out I would like them to return the complete form to me via email.  When I choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to my recipients.  I get an error "Failed to send the form to recipients"  I am stymied.  I cannot figure out why I can launch this feature.
    I have ask clients to complete the form and try to attach it to an email, but that defeats the whole procedure, generally confusing my client.
    Anyone know what I am doing wrong. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  Someone suggested I upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat.  That seems to suggest that the feature does not work in Acrobat 9 which I believe is incorrect.
    Any Help is appreciated.

    It's not clear to me where the problem is. Is it when you try to send the form to recipients, or when they try to click the Submit button to send the form back to you? It certainly can work with a form created in Acrobat 9, but it may not work with certain email clients. You may find that a good number of users don't even have an email client set up, and many may use a web-based email client (e.g., gmail and the like). If it doesn't work, manually attaching the document to an email is the workaround. Such is the nature of an email-based workflow.
    Some users may be using something other than Acrobat/Reader to interact with the form, such as the Preview application on the Mac, which also will not work. The Preview application actually corrupts PDF forms in a number of ways and it doesn not support JavaScript or digital signatures. When you get such a corrupted form back, text (and other) fields will appear to be blank. For more information on this, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

  • Saving XDP data into a Distributed PDF form

    I have a distributed PDF form that I am able to save form data into.
    I also have the XDP form data that I wish to populate using a program and open in Adobe Reader.
    I need that form data to be saved into the PDF, so that I can send the PDF via email to someone, where they will fill out the rest and send it back.
    I can programmatically open the XDP with adobe reader, but the form isn't automatically saved, which means the user would have to remember to save the data when closing the window. I would rather have something that is automated.
    Is there a way to push the form data to the PDF without requiring the user to say Yes to a prompt?

    Thanks for the response George. About the same moment when I created this post, I came accross an article online which provided same solution as that which you have mentioned. So, I made the PDF form "Reader-Enabled" using Acrobat Professional. The outcome is that using "Internet Explorer", I am now able to save information I type into the the online PDF form. However it still won't work if I use "mozilla firefox".
    Do you have any idea why Mozilla firefox won't save the information typed into the online PDF form even when I have enabled reader function with Acrobat Professional?

  • Send PDF form to email address user enters in textfield on form.

    I would like to be able to allow the person using the form to choose what email address the PDF form is emailed to. I read this post which sounds like what I want but I keep getting a Submit Cancelled error. The email does get generated and the form is attached as a PDF so that part works okay.

    This is the code I am using as I only need the To: address populated.
    form1.Page1.Button1::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
    var strToAddress
    //Capture the values from the form fields.
    strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
    event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

    Hi,
    There is an example here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ.
    // Declare the variable
    var vEmail;
    // Check that the email field is not null
    if (txtToAddress.rawValue !== null) {
         vEmail = txtToAddress.rawValue;
    // Send email
    event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: " + vEmail + "?subject=&body=",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

  • Cannot open PDF attachments in email, get administrator logon using Acrobat X?

    Cannot open PDF attachments in email, get administrator logon using Acrobat X?

    I have no problem opening PDF attachments that arrive in my Outlook 2003 Inbox; they open fine with Adobe Reader 9. It may be an issue with your email client.
    But if you think that Adobe Reader 8 will fix it, you can download it from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/8.x/8.1.3/enu/AdbeRdr813_en_US.exe - make sure that you uninstall Reader 9 first (and Acrobat.com & Adobe AIR).

  • Acrobat Help | Creating and distributing PDF forms

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html

    Unless I am reading this incorrectly, in Acrobat Help, webpage http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html, it looks like step 5 under header "Distribute (send) forms to recipients" is incomplete. Step 5 ends with "...do one of the following:" and that is simply followed by a notation, not two steps.

    It would be great, if you could provide us with the following details:
    1. The OS you are working on.
    2. The version of MS Office installed on your machine.
    3. A screenshot of the error message along with the scenario in which the same is displayed.
    4. How exactly did you go about updating Reader 11.0.02 to 11.0.03. Was it via the updater mechanism or by downloading the patch from the Adobe site.
    Also, it would be great if you could let us know if there was any other Windows or Antivirus related updates applied on your machine in the same timeframe as the Reader update.

  • Elementary Problem With Submitting A PDF Form Via Email?

    Hello all!
    I'm brand new to creating forms with Adobe.  I have Acrobat X Pro.  I have created a form with multiple fields to fill in and placed a button at the top of the form.  Under button properties I selected the submit a form option under the actions tab and chose to email the entire pdf file.  Where it says enter a URL for this link I put mailto: and my email address.
    When I click on the submit button I choose the desktop application option as I use Outlook exchange. (that could be the problem?)  I click on the ok button and immediately get a pop up box that says "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default client.
    I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I'm creating the submit form improperly.  My goal is to get an exact copy of the completed Adobe form emailed to the specified email address.  Any help would be much appreciated!
    Mike

    To answer some of your specific questions:
    2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
    4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
    5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
    It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
    Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

  • The updated Adobe Reader App on the iPad will not flatten a PDF Form before emailing.

    My iPad automatically updated and since that update, we cannot fill in PDF forms and flatten to share via email. When we share via email it shares the original file. The help section shows that option to flatten the file, but when actually performing the functions it just automatically attaches the document to the email without that security option. Has anyone run into this issue? How did you resolve it?

    As an update, I am finding that I can still send documents via email (and given the option to flatten) if the document was already in my adobe prior to this update, even if I changed the document.  However, If I am opening a new document right now from dropbox or some other source and editing and saving it to adobe, it will only email the original blank document.

  • How can I get a PDF form to email to me when it is hosted online?

    Ok, I'm not a coding expert, but I understand CSS and html alright.
    I am trying to create a PDF form for my website: www.pantherapressdesign.com.
    I have already created the forms (they are under the purchase section of the site) and when they are saved to the harddrive they work just fine. HOWEVER, when you fill them out and they open in the browser they will not submit to me (aka. I don't get them by email, even though the submit button correctly re-directs you to the thanks page).
    In the fuctions of the submit button I have it set to mailto:[email protected]
    When the form is saved on the hard drive (I open it from the desktop) and click submit it brings up a dialog box and asks me how I want to send it. I then choose desktop mail service, it opens it in an email and sends it.
    I want customers to be able to click the form from the website - fill it out right there in the browser - and then be able to submit it to me that way.
    I am assuming I must route this through the php or something, but am not sure how to do that. I have the php working for the contact from on the website, but I don't know php so I used pre-written code to do that. Is there some simple code I can drop into my php that will handle these forms? Help, please! Thanks

    I looked at the Stationary form, and there are a number of things you need to change. It is currently set up to submit as "HTML", as opposed to FDF, XFDF, or the entire PDF. This is fine if you're submitting the form to a web server, which can read the field data, place it in an email, and send it off. This is actually much preferred to relying on the user's machine being set up properly to send an email. Many are not and not receiving order that someone thought was submitted will be bad for your business. Consider removing the existing forms today and you can update when they are working.
    Your web hosting service likely has a PHP script that is designed to work with HTML forms and send an email with the form data included. This can work with a PDF form if the form is correctly set up. To do that, you will need to know how the script works and what it is expecting in the way of form data when it processes a submission. The PHP script should also be modified to send an appropriate response back to the user, which can be a simple redirect. The way you have it now with a link to the redirect page is wrong. It goes there whether the form is complete or not and whether the email actually got sent. This can be avoided by having the web server take care of this.
    If you don't have the expertise to modify the form to suit the PHP script and PHP script to suit the workflow, you'll need to find someone who does.

  • Cannot save, cannot print PDF form in Adobe Reader 9

    I downloaded a PDF form for an application from the internet. It opened in Adobe Reader 9, where I was able to fill out information in the PDF. Some areas required a scroll bar for long lists of information. Now, I cannot save the PDF or else all of my information disappears!! I cannot print the PDF, because all of the information is not immediately visible, due to scroll bars. It only prints what is immediately visible.
    I need help - I cannot save, print, or exit out of this form that I have filled out multiple times at this point from attempts to Save.
