Troubles creating a form with Acrobat

I have created a form with Acrobat 9 Pro. However, when it is brought up with Acrobat Reader, the following message appears:
Sending data files by email: Please note, this form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file... However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember you cannot save a complete file of this form with Adobe Reader 9.
When the submit button is clicked, the following message is posted on a popup window.
Operation not permitted.
Here's the link to a form I am trying to get to work. It works fine if I use the Pro version, but the Reader version doesn't want to allow the form to be sent. http://www.drugfreedekalbcounty.info/pdf/interventionscholarshipform.pdf
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It may have been improved with AA9, but at least up through AA8, Acrobat required the use of MAPI on the machine to deal with e-mail. If that has changed, then the other recommendation to use extended rights might meet your need. There is a 500 use limitation for the extended rights (more requires negotiation with Adobe). This may be a limitation that changed with AA9 Pro Extended.
The rights are not needed if the data file is sent and not the whole PDF. There is no need for the whole PDF since the data file can be opened in the original form document - giving the same result. Your observation that it works in AA9 for e-mail is making the assumption that everyone uses AA9. That is a dangerous assumption if you are developing a general use form. You should assume folks have back to AA7, or even AA5 (like I have on this machine). There are still a few that check in here on occasions with AA4. I have not seen an AA3 question for several years. Thus backward compatibility may be an issue, depending on your client base.
The cleanest way to work with forms is to submit to a web script. Then there is no question about the end result. The use of web scripts is even recommended for online html forms for much the same reasons. I was giving a heads up so that you have considered possible users that do not have the newest and best, assuming that the latter resolves the e-mail issue.

Reader Enabled Forms with Acrobat 8.0

Hi,
I am considering upgrading from 7Pro to 8Pro and need to confirm some aspects of the new features for applying reader rights to forms. I have a number of forms generated in Lifecycle Designer 7.1, where the user is using the Reader version to email the XML data.
If I reader enable these forms with Acrobat 8 Pro, will the User be able to still email the XML data and also save the completed form locally? In addition will it be possible to inport and export XML data into & out of Reader Enabled forms?
In addition do you know what the story is with "500 users of the forms"? Is is 500 per form over the lifetime of the form? Some of my forms are distributed to different Clients and I am not sure how this will work
Any help/guidance gratefully appreciated ;-)
Thanks, Niall

It should, yes. Can't confirm 100% as I haven't tried.

Create an email merge with Acrobat XI

How do I create an email merge (secure and insecure) with Adobe Acrobat XI professional?

What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

Electronic forms with Acrobat 7 Standard

I need to create a form that users with Acrobat Reader can fill out electronically, and then print. They don't need to be able to save their forms or submit them electronically. The requirement is that they simply fill the form out and then print. Can I accomplish this with Acrobat 7 Standard?
Thanks!
Luis

No. You will need Acrobat 7 Professional to create the form template. Acrobat 7 Standard does not have form tools.

Making email form with instructions in it?

This might be a very basic question but I cant figure it out hehe ...I am trying to make an email form like on this site...
http://www.timberline-resources.com/
I know how to make the form but not with the "Enter Your Email".......I want to know how to do that...so that when you click in it it disappears...
Thanks in advance for any help.
T

Your example site is all done with Flash which is not web-friendly.
My solution below uses a bit of JavaScript to clear the input field when clicked. If nothing is typed in the field, the field value 'Enter Email To Get Updates' comes back.
<input type="text" name="Your-field-name-here" onclick="this.value='';" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'Enter Email To Get Updates':this.value;" value="Enter Email To Get Updates" />

Email form with checkboxes

Hi All,
I have a form with checkboxes that I finally got to work
partially. However, there is one problem. If you forget to check
the checkbox, (Yes or No), you get the error Element is Undefined.
If you check the checkbox there is no problem and the form goes
through email. How can I correct the error if the checkboxes are
not checked. Any help would be appreciated,
Best,
Joy

Joy,
checkboxes do not pass a value unless they are checked.
You can do it two ways that I know.
One way is to set a default so the page does not error:

<cfparam name="FORM.myCheckbox" default="" type="any">
The other way is to see if it was checked and do something
then.

<cfif isDefined("FORM.myCheckbox")>
do something



<cfelse>
do something else
</cfif>

Custom order form with file upload facility

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a custom order form(for a printing company) where the user can select their product, enter their credit card details and then upload the file. I've created the combo box & user input text fields. Now what I want is that when user clicks the submit button:
1. A mail is sent to the admin which contain all the details about the form that was filled by the user.
2. The file that is uploaded by the user should also be sent as attachment in the same mail. I'm not able to figure out how to add the feature of file upload in ActionScript.
3. This one is optional, but will add value to me if possible. The website is developed in Wordpress. Can we have a feature where a logged in user can save his order and come again later and retrieve his order form.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Rajeev

your client is, i believe, legally negligent. you are probably jointly liable with your client.
you should try and protect yourself. you should keep a record that you've informed him that he needs to encrypt all credit card numbers during all phases of transmission but i doubt that will be enough to protect you because you are in a position to know and, will know, that he's not fulfilling his obligations to protect sensitive information.
you would use the urlloader class to communicate between flash and the server and you will probably use php (another coding language) for the server-side coding.
you can use google to search for php tutorials and help.

Email form with php

Hello,
I have been reading that mailto: is outdated. I have been reading on creating an email form using php. I don't understand. Do you create a table first to put the info:
First Name:
Last Name:
Email:
Message:
Submit button
Does anyone know of a comprehensive article that I could read with maybe some examples or even tutorial.   This is my webstie www.ewrolexrepair.com. This is my first website. I am trying to put somekind of email contact next to my picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Below is a ready made php form including First Name, Last Name, Email and Message.
The form is sent back to the page it is located on i.e. if the form is inserted into a page called 'contact.php' then the action form field would be as follows: <form id="enquiryForm" name="enquiryForm" method="post" action="contact.php">
Change the below in the code to your email address (the one you want the info to be sent to):
$to = "[email protected]"; //email address -- change to your own email address
Change success.php below in the code to the page you want the user to go to after submitting the form.
header("Location: success.php");
//Redirect page -- change to your own page

<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if (array_key_exists('submit', $_POST)) {
    // check first_name field
$first_name = trim($_POST['first_name']);
if (empty($first_name)) {
    $error['first_name'] = 'Please provide your first name';
elseif ($first_name == 'Please provide your first name') {
    $error['first_name'] = '';
$_SESSION['first_name'] = $_POST['first_name'];
// check last_name field
$last_name = trim($_POST['last_name']);

    $error['last_name'] = 'Please provide your last name';

Custom SR Form with only needed data

I'd like to start service requests from the Service Manager Console not from the Portal. How to customize the form is shown in
this walkthrough from Antoni.
So I want a custom service request form with a field to select Computers. In this field there only should be the possibility to select Computers with the asset status = deployed. Is there a solution to this or a hint where to look at?
Patrick Wahlmüller

so the idea behind the console is that it's supposed to be used by informed analyst who know the environment, so it's a little bit less friendly, by design. in regards to your ideas:
Type Projections do not have filtration, by design. a Type projection is a way of presenting multiple classes as a single unified combination type; That type can then be filtered or pulled into a view. it doesn't make sense to filter a type projection,
in the same way that it doesn't make sense to say that all zoos (I.E. a collection of related animals) must have tapirs (I.E. it's filtered by membership), a thing can be a zoo without having specific classes, even if they don't fit your view of
zoos
Groups are a way of collecting entities for security scoping. you could scope the user's roles down so they could only see vlans that are deployed, but it would mean they would not see the other vlans AT ALL. this may or may not be what you want
to do, depending on the purpose of the user roles.
just don't. InfoPath is.... unique, and you'd need to find a way to pull that data into the scsm database, and that's probably not going to be a good choice.
the only thing I can recommend is perhaps naming the deployed VLANs differently then retired or pre-production vlans, so it's obvious in the display name what the status is. this isn't a good answer, the best answer would be to have the status exposed in
the object picker, but that's not possible with the current entity design.

Problem in the distribution of forms with acrobat

When I prove to distribute a module with acrobat 9 pro extended, the program does not allow me to create the work area on the server and create the file distributed and responses to submit forms and collect data through the “workspace”. The indication that appears is the following: “unable to set a folder of workflow in the hosting service or the specified shared folder. How can I solve the problem? Can you help me, please? Until before the summer the distribution of the forms is always worked well.

That's the strange thing, in the log fiile everything seems to have worked fine.
By the way it is a 18k lines file, however:
MSI (s) (D8:BC) [18:21:17:034]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying TRANSFORMS property. Its current value is '\\Srvappxxxx\path\Bravo.mst'. Its new value: '@Bravo.mst'
Property(S): DatabaseUser = dbuser
Property(S): DatabaseName = AAAAA_BBBBB
Property(S): DatabaseInstance = SRVAPPXXX
Property(S): SharedComponentsPath = \\SRVAPPXXXX\PATH

Custom Tabular Form with working days by quarter

Hi All, I'm trying to create an application to improve an old excel that some people use in my office. I came across a challenge: create a page when a user can submit for each business day the amount of hours worked, the real problem is that I have to show on the same page 40 business days that need to be dynamic, I mean that there is a "period" table that has a start date and end date, the range between those two MINUS the Saturdays and Sundays should be the amount of COLUMNS that the report show.
create table CT_PERIOD(
PERIOD_ID VARCHAR2(6),
PERIOD_FY VARCHAR2(4),
PERIOD_QUARTER VARCHAR2(1),
PERIOD_START_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_END_DATE DATE,
PERIOD_DAY_COUNT NUMBER,
insert into ct_period values ('1', 'FY14', 'Q1', to_date('01-JUN-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), to_date('25-AUG-2013', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 56);
commit;
I searched in the web for some example of this with no luck, if somebody did something like this or knows where I can see an example that would be great!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'm having exactly the same problem, I need a tabular form with days as columns to add actual working hours for each day as for each row ( task)
