Distribute forms error

Hello,
I am trying to distribute a form to other contacts in my email list, but when I go to Forms-->Distribute Forms, an Adobe error window pops up with the message, "Acrobat cannot open the file for distribution." I have distributed these same forms multiple times before in the same way, and am not sure what the error is. Anyone have ideas I can try? Thanks!

If using check boxes, you need to give each a different field name if you want them to behave independent of one another. You can create a group where at most on in the group can be selected, similar to a radio button group, by giving each the same field name but different export value.
For #2, it depends on the details of what you want to do. A PDF form can be set up to submit to a web server or to initiate an email with the form data for the entire form attached to the email. If you want Reader users to be able to save the filled-in form and/or submit the entire filled-in PDF, the form has to be Reader-enabled in Acrobat.
For #3, please provide the exact error message.

  • Distributing forms Error

    I am having difficulting distributing a pdf form.  After I have selected the email to send it to a "Send Mail" pop up box comes up asking how I would like to send the email?. Once I type in my own email address I receive an error that Authentification failed and something about retrying after I verify that the system time matches with the current server time.
    Please help.

    It may be that Acrobat.com access was removed from your Acrobat install if this was packaged internally by your IT organization. Does this occur on all copies of Acrobat?

  • Field validation using distributed form's "Submit Form" built-in function

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can help me out with a small problem I'm having. I have a hidden field on a form which is the total of other numeric values on the form with code in place so that if the number doesn't equal what it should, the alert box is displayed. The problem is that it's a distributed form and even though the message is displayed, if you hit submit (Built-in Submit Form) button form on a second attempt, it submits anyway. So the question is, how do I change the built-in API submit button code to catch the error? Because it's a distributed form, am I dealing with global variables vs. form level? I've tried using the "event.rc = false" at the form level to no avail. I can't seem to locate the built-in "submit form" code so that I can change that to make this APP work. Or is there a better way to do this. My validation code is below and I would greatly appreciate anyone's help.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Thanks for your reply. When you say to "remove the Submit action, and submit the form yourself inside your code" are you refering to the
    distributed forms "Submit Form" button displayed on the purple tool bar of the distributed form? And if so, could you please let me know how I can do that? I've
    looked into that and haven't found an answer. Doing that would solve my problem of having my own submit code acting correctly and the
    distributed forms "Submit form" code not having any idea about my forms desired field value.
    Thanks again,

  • Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Why cannot I distribute forms in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional (when following directions)?

    Hello,
    When you try to open Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, the application returns the error "Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component (such as Adobe Photoshop) before launching Acrobat 8 Professional."
    Please try to do one of the following solutions:
    * Open another Creative Suite 3 application first.
    *Open any other Creative Suite 3 application and follow the on-screen instructions to enter a serial number and activate your software. Then open Acrobat 8 Professional.
    But if you have MAC OS - Move the Acrobat, Adobe PCD, and Adobe PDF folders.
    Quit any Adobe applications that are open.
    In the Finder, navigate to /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    Note: This folder path refers to the Library folder at the root level of the startup disk, not the Library folder that is inside a user's Home folder.
    Move the following folders to your Documents folder or another safe location:
    Acrobat

         Important: Do not delete these folders.
      4.  Open Acrobat 8 Professional.

  • Distributed forms, how do you filter duplicate data?

    When using Distributed forms, how do you filter the returning data for when someone submits the form twice with a minor change?  Example, they submit the form with a mailing address and typed the city name wrong, then they resubmitted with the corrected name.  The "Response" window shows as 2 separate entries.

  • How to use distribute form?

    I know this has probably been answered a hundred times in these forums, but my searching has not turned up any answer that is useful to me as yet, so I will try posing the question anew.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro  version 9.1.2
    I have created a test that I want people to fill in and return the results to me.  I would like to use the tracker, because it seems that would allow me to see who has taken the test or not.  However, I really do not get how this is supposed to work.
    I have a button embedded at the bottom of the form.  The action on the button is mouse up submit a form.  The URL is mailto:[email protected] which is my email address.  I have FDF selected.  When I select Distribute form, the only selections I get are "manually collect responses in my email inbox" or "automatically collect responses on my own internal server".  The form I am trying to distribute is on a network drive.  Because I put my email address in on the submit button, I choose the manually collect selection.  I send it out under Adobe, and I do get responses back in my inbox.  We use Microsoft Outlook as our mail client.  Tracker never seems to acknowledge that anything has been sent nor that anyone has responded however.  I did see that tracker only checks once an hour, so I waited, and still nothing.
    I also tried to save it on a network drive.  The online help indicates that you should be able to save to \\server\folder\ which I tried, but when I click on the link to submit, I get an invalid URL message.  This is on the submit button.  I put in \\server\folder\ (I use the actual server name and the folder\subfolders by the way), as directed in the documentation but the action prepends my server and folder name with http:// which results in http://\\server\folder\ which is invalid of course.  The drive I am attempting to save to is not on a LAN.  It is on a WAN, but all of the clients have read/write access to the drive.  It is our "common" drive that we use for sharing data on the network.  Windows copy function work fine for all users.
    I did find some documentation indicating that I could submit to Adobe.com, but that option is not available to me for some reason when I select distribute forms.  Only email or network drive.  I do not seem to be able to get either to work to be able to pick up the returned forms under Tracker.  It appears that my only option is to have the forms returned to me as an email, and then keep a manual list of who replys in a spreadsheet or something.
    Has anyone ever had any luck getting tracker to work for forms, and if so, what is your secret?

    Sorry I won't be a lot of help on this particular subject.
    But what I can tell you is to be patient. The thread you are referring to certainly didn't get that many views and responces in two hours (which is roughly how long ago the time stamp says that you posted your original question).
    Ther are some experts in here that I'm sure can help you out and you were very thorough describing the issue (which is a raritly in these forums) so I'm sure someone will be along eventually.
    This also is a slow time of day around here. These are user to user forums so there isn't any particular person or people that are required to be here and answer questions as soon as they're asked.

  • How can recipients submit a distributed form via email to any email address they want?

    First, a little background to describe our situation:
    I have a standard Acrobat form here that I need about 20 of my salespeople to use to send to their new prospective customers,  have the customers fill it out, and return the completed form to their respective salesperson.
    I don't want to allow my salespeople or their customers to be able to save local copies of the form because it will include personal information about the customer. If customers were to save their completed forms and email them to our salespeople, I worry that the salespeople will accidentally send out one of those completed forms to a new customer thinking that it is a clean/unfilled version of the form (and not realizing that it includes sensitive information about another customer!)
    Thus, I need a way for our customers to fill and return the forms without being able to save them locally as their own versions and then sending those new versions to our salespeople.
    I believe that means that I should use the "distributed forms" method and ask the customers to "submit" the forms directly rather than save/email them on their own.
    I'd like to have a single form up on our website, and our salespeople will just send out the link to that form so that customers can fill out their data and submit it. If our salespeople get into the habit of just sending out the link, and they get an email with the completed form after a customer completes it, then they'll never email around actual PDF copies of the form, so they'll avoid the risk of accidentally sending out a customer's completed form that has all their personal info on it.
    Here's the problem though:
    Using the "distributed form" method, whenever a form is submitted by a prospective customer, it seems that it can only be submitted/sent to the email address on the Adobe account that originally created the form (which is me), but I need the completed form to be sent directly to the salesperson who covers that customer (not me).
    So, is there some way to get around this issue?
    Can I create a form field that allows the customer to type in the salesperson's email address so that the completed PDF of the form is sent to that salesperson when they submit it (rather than all of them being sent to me)?This would be ideal because it would still be a distributed form that allows people to submit their forms directly to their salespersons without having to save local versions of the form w/ all their personal info and then emailing to the salesperson.
    If this can't work, is there some way to make sure that when a customer fills out a form that they are required to save it as a new version under a new file name (like "NormalFileName_CustomerLastName")?If the file name is always different than the original, clean copy of the form, then it would make it less likely that my salespeople would send out the wrong version.
    I know this issue must come up with people all the time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You would have to first change the email address that Acrobat uses (Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address) and then redistribute the form in Acrobat and send it to your users.

    Hi Abapers,
    i'm getting an error while printing a form.

    Diagnosis
    An error occurred in the message processing program.

    Hi Adams,
    The error is for field GS_LIKP-ZWEIGHWT. It seems to be a quantity field. If it is then you'll have to maintain a reference field for it in you Smartform. To do this -
    Goto Global Definations -> Currency/Quant.fields
    Here give the field name GS_LIKP-ZWEIGHWT and in the reference field give some quantity field contained in some internal table that you have passed in the form attributes. Give data type as QUAN.
    Activate the Form and execute. This should solve your problem.
    Hope this helps!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended crashes when trying to distribute form

    Hi.
    I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit.
    I have created a pdf file derived from an html and css file.
    The pdf file comes out perfectly with form fields automatically detected, etc.
    However, when I try to distribute the form, by clicking on
    1. Forms > Distribute Form...
    2. Manually collect responses in my email inbox..
    3. Save a local copy and manually send it later.
    Acrobat.exe crashes with faulting module acroform.api. when trying to create the response file.
    Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module acroform.api, version 9.0.0.332, fault address 0x00025878.
    Any ideas?
    I can successfully distribute a different form created from InDesign.
    Thank you.

    Any ideas?   there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13.   Perhaps if I uninstall it?   I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall?  I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - distributed form - unreadable reponses

    Have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - created a distributed form for emailing - emailed it to parents and most files come back readable - have 4 file that are not readable - they will print okay but they are not readable by the "responses" files - tried to save  them a a new pdf file but new saved files also came back unreadable by responses file. The readable files are of a size 257K whereas the non-readable file sizes are much smaller - any ideas as to what is happening to these?

    The files may have been filed out on a Mac using Preview not Reader. Preview is known to cause problem wrt form fields.

  • Distribute Form does nothing in Acrobat 9.0 Standard with XP Pro

    I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 and Adobe Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard via Enterprise Distribution (all features avaialble, none disabled).
    I made sure that (up top) Advanced > "Extend Forms Fill-In & Save in Adobe Reader..." was selected and saved in this document.

    What should I try next?

    Thanks for your reply.
    I downloaded and applied all 19 updates, rebooting where required, and now I am up on Acrobat Standard v9.5.1. This did not resolve the issue...
    I still get no action when I click Next on the "How do you want to collect responses from your recipients?" window with "Manually collect responses in my email inbox" chosen in the drop-down box. When I select "Automatically collect responses on my own internal server" in the drop-down box and then click next I can proceed to the next window and select a network folder or sharepoint server, but I will have to use my email for this distribution (some recipients are outside my company, and I don't have a sharepoint server to use)...
    Also, just to be sure my first form wasn't corrupted, I created a new PDF document from my original Word document using the Start Form Wizard. The PDF created cleanly with no links or bookmarks. I did not use the "Extend Forms Fill-In" separately as you suggested. I just left it as the Form Wizard created it, then I added the four separate digital signature field boxes, one at a time (neither copying, nor using Place Multiple Fields).
    This new form also would not distribute by email. What to try now?
