Cannot not submit pdf form by lotus suite

1. our client said that cannot submit the form by lotus suite.
2. how can I set to submit the form by desktop mail only & at least ver. 7.0 or later.
tks

You can't ...Acrobat will try and interact with the default mail client. If the default mail client is Lotus then thats is what will be used.
For that reason many clients will submit the PDF/data to a web server and have that mail it out on their behalf.

  • Submit pdf form data to sql database

    Where I can find detailed information on the process of sending data from pdf form stored on the website to the sql database stored on web server ?? Where I can find some samples I could use to build my form and related script(s).
    Thanks for advice.

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you very much for your quick response. I can not retrieve your
    attachments, so please send them by email. Thank you.
    What does it mean that DSN has to be set up on each machine which will run
    the form ??? Does it mean for each person who will use the form ?? or
    rather once on the server where the form is hosted ??? It will be a bit
    difficult to use if it will have to be installed on each user computers as
    some users may not be happy to do it. If this is the case do you have any
    solution you would recommend which will collect the data from the form
    without asking users to do anything special on their computers ????

    submit pdf form data to sql database
    If you want the form to contact the DB directly you will have to set up a
    DSN on each of the machines that will run the form. Note that this wil
    only work on Windows machines. Also the form must be launched for the
    script to run (you mentioned the PDF was stored on the web server). I have
    some samples that show how to deal with a DB but the attachments do not
    seem to be working correctly on the forum yet. If you cannot retrieve them
    post your email and I will email them to you directly.

  • Submit pdf form fields data as customized template

    Hi
    Is it possible to submit pdf form fields as a customized template?
    when the form is submited, I want it to be emailed to me as text form and the form field data would be autopopulated into the text template.
    Im not sure but is this how fdf works?
    if so, how do i get my form to be submitted as fdf?
    please help.
    thanks.

    Here you go .....the 3 fields at the top are where you enter data. The allfields field is the field that creates your special format and teh submitted data field is what you woudl recieve in the email. Note that i changed th ebinding for the first three fields so that they are not included as separate items in the data file. This shoudl simplify what you recieve. I cam change the format of what is written to the allfields if you need a different distinction. In this example I hardcoded everything ....depending how many fields there are on yours i woudl use a different approach (using some complicated code) but the concept woudl be the same. I woudl find all of the fields on your form and loop through all of these objects in a for loop construct this will reduce th eamount of code dramatically and also allow you to modify the form to add or remove fields as you see fit without having to change the code.
    Make sense?

  • Cannot submit pdf form online

    the problem seems to be that the interactive pdf form that used to open within the browser is now opening outside the browser (both IE8 and Firefox) as a temp file so I can fill it out but when I hit "save for later" or "submit" I get the adobe error "error opening url to submit this form". What setting has gotten set incorrectly? I have been using this site for years with no problem up until recently.

  • Submit PDF form via email = Operation is not permited!

    Hi there,
    I just downloaded a trial version of Acrobat 9.0 to see if we can make a bunch of our forms more user friendly and possibly interacive.
    I have created a form, and now I'd like to enable the user to submit the entire form by email to one of our email accounts by clicking a Submit button.
    I followed the required steps religously and defined the "Submit a form" action, triggered by "Mouse Up" and included  the required mailto:[email protected] link.
    However, when I open the form in either Acrobat Pro 9 or Reader 9, the text on the button is not there and when I click on the button it either pulls up an email that looks the way it's supposed to, but the "email was not sent". If I try the same thing on my MAC, clicking on the button generates "Operation not permitted" message.
    Where did I go wrong?
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as this feature or ability is pretty much crucial to our decision to purchase the application.
    Many thanks.

    There are a few things to be careful about, particularly if others are to read your form on a variety of systems.
    1. Don't use spaces in the file name. A lot of browsers will choke on spaces, though most are starting to accept this non-standard habit resulting from Windows habits.
    2. Don't put a space between mailto: and your email. It will send a space in from of your e-mail address that may cause a problem with an e-mail client.
    3. Your submit button was not labelled, with an icon as you had it set or simply text "Submit."
    I modified the form to come to me and filled it out. The data was sent to me and I asked to open it, it could not find the file but allowed me to select the form file and it opened up just fine. You can also open the form in Acrobat and use the import data option. It sounds like this last little bit was the hangup for you. In the past I have been able to select the FDF file and it would open right up. I am not sure what is necessary for it to find the form - standard placement or what I am not sure.

  • Submit PDF form data IMS database.

    Hello
    I have developed a pdf form using livecycle designer and it has a submit button in it. The form is published to our organization website. What we would like to do is, when the user opens and fills up the pdf form either on web browser / or after downloading to their desktop, users should be able to post the data in the form directly into our IMS database. Our users are not connected to our organization network but just to the internet.
    I understand that we need to use a Submit button with 'Submit As' property set to XML. IMS connect is an IBM interface that would read this xml and pass the data to the database. But, what I would like to know is the architecture and how the components communicate here. i.e. for our design document.
    I am assuming that we would need to lay out these components on the diagram but not very sure of the order in which the data is flowing from client to the database.
    1. Web browser
    2. Internet Connection
    3. Webserver (this is where the org. website is and the form is located on the website)
    4. LiveCycle ES sitting on an application server?
    5. Database tier.
    Appreciate if anyone could tell me exactly the steps and the data flow.

    You cannot use a submit button to invoke a web service. You woudl create your web service to recieve a single parameter (the XML that represents the data on your form). Then create a hidden field (to hold the data) and bind the input parameter to that field. Now using a regular button, add code that will take the data that is in the data dom and dump it into your hidden field:
    HiddenFieldName.rawValue = xfa.datasets.data.saveXML("pretty")
    Make sure the your hidden field is set for multiline. Now in the next line of code we need to invoke the web service. You can use the invokeBtn supplied by the DataConenction wizard (dropped on your form of course). You can use the command:
    invokeBtn.execEvent("click");
    This will send the data in the hidden field to the web service. You can code your web service to return a string that indicates that the data was recieved. You can bind that output parameter to another hidden field. Once the web service executes then that field will hold the message string. Now you can put up a message box to the user:
    app.alert(hiddenfieldname.rawValue);
    When I talk about hidden fields I mean to make the presence invisible not hidden.

  • Submit pdf form as HTML will attach a tmp file to email

    I all,
    I'm just trying to submit a simple pdf form as HTML but I always get a "RandomFileName.tmp" file as attachment to the resulting email.
    If I open the tmp file with a text editor I see it contains my form fields name and their related values.
    But I think the end-user has not all the knowledge to open a strange file name with a tmp extension.
    Why do this happen? is it a bug?
    I'm using Acrobat X and Thunderbird 24.0 as email client.
    Is there a simple way (I don't know javascript) to get all fields/values in the email body?
    This task should be really simple but I cannot find any usefull info on adobe website.
    TIA for any help or suggestion.

    Is there a simple way (I don't know javascript) to get all fields/values in the email body?
    This can be done with JS, and it's not too complicated, but you can't generate an email from Reader without any attachments (well, actually you can, but then the amount of data you can put in it is very limited), it has to have either the entire PDF, or a file with the form data, attached to it.

  • Submit PDF form

    I have created a PDF form by using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. Now i want to get data from pdf & insert into database(first user login & then insert data of particular user).
    i tried by simple button (with control type: submit) & HTTP Submit Button, when i am clicking on button login jsp open (specified in URL) in adobe acrobat professionl not in internet explorer browser why this happen?
    is this possible with using buttons & how i get data at server site?
    if any other good way for my requirement please post here.

    Linda,
    Reader cannot save data in forms without being enabled by Acrobat 8 or
    9. They cannot submit back a form you create via email. The best way to
    handle the issue is to post the form a the net and have the data sent
    back to you. This has to be scripted on the server side. Even if you
    upgraded to Acrobat 8 or 9, they cannot send back the form to you
    automatically if they are not using a supported mail program or if they
    perform their mail based tasks in a browser. Which is why for
    reliability the form needs to be hosted on the net.

  • Host Embed Submit PDF Form Online

    I have been scouring the web and apparently I am either asking for something that cannot be done.. or I am terrible at searching. That being said, I was not sure which forum this would best go under so feel free to redirect me as needed.
    A client gave me a PDF file (Application for Employment) which has been setup with fields and is Reader Enabled. I would like to host it on their website with a link which preferably takes them to the pdf form embedded in their browser. Then they would ideally be able to fill out the PDF form and click a submit button which would then send it to an email address. I would prefer not to do a mailto solution to avoid the users personal email.
    It seems like Adobe eludes to them hosting this functionality, but I can't pin that down. I have also found the website FormRouter which appears to do what we want.. but for a much higher price than we are willing to pay for something that will be accessed once or twice a month.
    Thanks in advance,
    Matt

    On the license, it all depends on the volume that is expected and you should read the EULA for clarification. Better safe than sorry.
    If they sent you the form and it is already set for submission (that would be a property of the submit button and depends on if the form is an Acrobat form -- tools menu -- or a Designer form -- forms menu), then all you would need to do is put a standard link into the web site. The form would open in Reader or Acrobat and the client would proceed. The details of the process all depend on what your customer has asked you to do. If it is a submission process, then you would need to modify the PDF.
    In any case, even with the PDF embedded (for browsers where possible), the file is basically opening in Reader, Acrobat, or the browser plugin that is loaded by these -- basically opening the PDF in an Adobe product, not really in the browser as such. The actions are then whatever that viewing product is capable of.
    My comments were to flag a warning of the process, the potential use of data submission (not requiring enabling the Reader), and the pitfalls of e-mail submission. The latter should really be left to submissions within a controlled environment where you can control the setup of the client e-mail system. In the past MAPI has been required on the user system. Apparently an additional process has been added with AA9, but is subject to lots of problems. There are apparently problems on MACs also, and I don't even know what those are. The only "sure" submission is to a web script. Unfortunately, Adobe has suggested the e-mail (mailto:) submission since AA7, without clarifying the pitfalls. Folks write a form and then have problems, coming here for us to explain what the problem was and the e-mail submission is not recommended for general use. Actually, mailto submission of forms in HTML is subject to a lot of problems also and is generally not recommended in the HTML community for the same reason -- browser problems or variations. I am just providing a warning, the choice is yours. It might work most of the time. When it does not, how much do you expect the customer to come back and blame it all on you!

  • Submit PDF form as attachment

    I am having a problem with getting my form to submit as an attachment once the submit button is clicked.
    What I envision happening is , a form is completed on line from my website,  the user click the SUBMIT button,
    the email box opens , receipent address is automatically prefilled , the form is attached and is sent.
    I created the SUBMIT button and selected "PDF the complete dcoument" option in the Submit Form Selections properties.
    When I tested it the PDF form doesnot attach.
    Can anyone  enlighten me on what I am missing.
    Thanks

    Do not use the PDF complete document for a web form. You are under license restrictions when you do that and web forms often will lead to a violation of those restrictions. The restriction comes because you have to activate User Rights on the form so folks with Reader can save the form for submission. The save process is not needed if the data is submitted and you are typically submitting a much smaller file. The data file can be imported to the original form and so you will have the same results as the customer.
    Be careful with email submission for both client problems with e-mail submission (you have no control over this) and the lack of security if sensitive data is included. You should definitely not include credit card numbers or related info.

  • Submit PDF form data to URL without submit button

    Our client use LiveCycle Designer to design PDF forms. We've an ASP.Net Web form application, where they want us to embed the PDF form as part of our Data Entry Form. The Entry form has a Save button. And we want to save all the entry form entries (including the PDF form) in the Save button click.
    The client PC will have adobe reader installed, so I guess we can embed the PDF form easily. I know PDF form can have Submit button and can submit data (XML) to a URL. But client does not want to place a separate Submit button in the PDF as the entry form has a "Save" button.
    Do you have any suggestion? If I'm posting in wrong place or an already answered question I apologize earnestly and please guide me.

  • Is Acrobat Attachments possible when submit pdf form as XDP

    I need to attach documents in my pdf form using acrobat attachment functionality (not the workspace atachments). It works fine when submit form as PDF but fails when submit form as XDP. I need to add some data to form data(process ID using SetValue) before assigning to 2nd user. For this, I think, XDP submission is best. But Using PDF submission I am not able to modify the data in between the process using SetValue.
    Is it possible to send attachments while submitting form as XDP ?? OR how else I can achieve this ??
    Please Help.
    Thanks.

  • Submit PDF form to Servlet

    Hello
    I have a PDF form with a Submit button which when clicked should post this to a servlet. The servlet should receive the PDF and email it a designated mail box. Since we would like the email to be sent from a dedicated mail address, we are using this approach instead of the Livecycle designer's email button.
    The problem now: I have set the Submit As property on the button to PDF and provided my servlet URL in the form using LiveCycle designer.
    In my servlet, I have the code "System.out.println(request.getQueryString());" to see what data I am receving. However, everytime I submit the form "null" is being printed on the console. I am not able to understand how to get this filled out PDF form attached and emailed.
    Right now, I have the following code in my servlet which is attaching a PDF located on my hard disk to email and this works fine.
    messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
    DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:/file.PDF");
    But how do I make sure the form that will be received by the Servlet be emailed. Appreciate any help.

  • Cannot open a PDF form in Adobe Reader 7

    Hello
    I have developed a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. The form has java script embedded in it to do validations. The form has Usage Rights enabled and works well versions 8 and 9. However, when I open the form in Adobe Reader 7, I am getting an error message asking me to download a higher version. When I view the form properties in LiveCycle Designer for this form, I have the following settings:
    XDP Preview form: Acrobat 7 (static PDF form) under defaults tab.
    Under compatibility tab, I have the following settings:
    Form Type: Acrobat 8 (static PDF form)
    Text Formatting: Version 7
    Event model: Version 7.
    Much appreciate if someone could tell me how to make this form compatible with Adobe Reader 7.

    thanks Jono But I cannot see any option to set Target Version.
    the options I have are XDP Preview format and PDF Render Format which are set to Acrobat 7 static PDF form.
    I have set a permissions password on the form using Acrobat 8 and under Password security settings , I have set the compatibility as Acrobat 5.0 or later. However, When I look at the form properties by opening the same form in LiveCycle, the compatibility still shows Acrobat 8 static PDF form.
    How do I get this form to be opened by users in Adobe 7?
    Appreciate your quick response.
