EMail completed form in Acrobat 10 Pro

I created a form in Acrobat 10 Pro with an EMail button. The problem is, when it sends the email, it sends a complet copy of the form in editable format. All I want it to send is what the form would look like when you print it and not be able to edit it. How can I do that.

You can add a signature field and have the user's use the digital signature to sign the form and as part of that action lock the fields
Or you can add JavaScript code to lock the fields before emaiilng the PDF.

Are Distributed Forms created in Acrobat XI Pro compatible with Response Forms in Acrobat X Pro?

I want to be able to use distributed forms (created in Acrobat XI Pro) that I have received back through email with Acrobat X Pro. That is, I want to be able to import the form information that is being sent back to me into a response form in Acrobat X Pro. Is this kind of "forward-compatible" issue possible?
Or, since I created the distributed forms in Acrobat XI Pro, can I only import data from those forms in an appropriate response from in Acrobat XI Pro?
Thanks!

The distribution technique for email, network folder, or internal server haven't changed between Acrobat X and XI so you should be able to do this; however, it won't be managed through Tracker because you're distributing the form through different programs.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Do you know what PDF viewer those users were using? Do you have any more details about what happens when they attempt to save?

Change subject line of email when submitting a form using Acrobat X Pro

I have created an interactive PDF in Acrobat X PRO with a submit a form button. Everything works fine all the way through distribution except that I need the Subject Line of the submitted form when attached to an email to read "Form Returned: File Name" rather than "Submitting Completed Form". All of my past forms had the "Form Returned: File Name" subject line automatically...did something change and is it possible to change the subject line? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I had actually come across that form on multiple occasions during my research. Looks like I need the doc.mailDoc() function, but there isn't an example of the code. Looking in other places I have tried a few things unsuccessfully. I did find this, which I thought would be even better than Form Returned: File Name in the subject line...actually taking information from fields in the form:
// Build the subject line text from several fields form fields
var subj_text = getField("text1").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text2").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text3").valueAsString;
// Send the email
mailDoc({
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cSubject: subj_text,
    cMsg: "Body of email message goes here."
I entered the script(adding in my own information for the email, body and subject line) by adding an action to the button to run the java script but it did not work. Any ideas??

Submit Form Button Acrobat X Pro Mac

I used Acrobat X Pro for the first time a couple of months ago. I created a form and when I was finished there was a Submit Form button in the purple field at the top of the document next to the Highlight Existing Fields button, and the text to the left of the buttons said "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit Form to return the completed form. You can save data typed in this form.". I did not create any buttons on this form manually. I want to do this again for another form but I cannot figure out how I did it the first time. I have seen discussions on how to create a submit button, but I cannot get that to work either. Plus I think the Submit Form button looks nicer anyway. Please Help!!
What I Need:
- a pdf form with a submit button that will email me a copy of the completed form when pressed
- the person filling out the form also needs to be able save a copy for themselves
My System:
Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.7
Office 2011 for Mac 14.0
Acrobat X for Mac 10.0.2

I just did what it sounds like you want to do using these instructions for Acrobat Pro 9. Here is the link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3593E0A4-C5E2-4cde-A09E-2A984346DDD2.w. html
To make it so your user can save a copy go to the Advanced Tab and click on Extend Features in Adobe Reader. That should do it. Good Luck.
Best,
Lisa

How to edit email preferences in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro

I have adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
I would like to edit my email preferences so that when I create an email with the PDF as an attachment the name of the file will automatically also be the subject line of the email.
according to the help instructions, I should find this by: " open the Preferences dialog box, and under Categories, select Email Accounts."
In my version, "Email Accounts" does not appear in the categories list.
Where do I go to edit email preferences?

thank you for the suggestion, but I do not have a "Send Email" or "Submit" button available in my version. I have "Attach to email" option which automatically opens a new message in MS outlook (which I did not set up, it just started doing so automatically) without any further dialogue boxes or options.
Also, this is only for regular PDF files, not forms.

Created a Form in Acrobat 9 pro and in LiveCyle. Images are blank in Acrobat Reader !!!Can you Help?

I wrote a manual using MS Word on Vista 64 bit
I have images in the manual.
When I open the File in Acrobat 9 Pro, the images are displayed.
BUT, when I opne it in ACrobat reader, the images are black boxes !
Would you be kind to help me solve this matter?

The boss used the Mac Preview app to fill out the form. Make sure that it is filled out using either Acrobat Pro or Reader to ensure you can use the output.

Why can't I see the text I enter when testing a fillable form using Acrobat 9 Pro?

I created a fillable pdf using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have done this several times over the last two years with no problems. Recently, when I tested my fields by typing in text, it didn't show up. Out of sheer frustration I just typed a staggering amount of letters and suddenly I could see a couple of letters, but they were chopped off at the top, and no where near the bottom of the field where they should be. What is going on?

I know!!! This is so frustrating. I have attached the document.
Maybe you can try to type in it and see. I used the default font, but I
did change the size from "varies" to "10 pt."
I appreciate your willingness to troubleshoot for me! Thank you!

Javascript to save form in Acrobat X Pro

I have developed a return authorization form using the form function in Acrobat X Pro. I would like to insert a "save" button into the form that would save the pdf form into a specific folder using the number field in the form as the file name. I'm not much of a javascript programmer but wondering if anybody has done anything like this or is this possible? If so, any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

The location for application folder level scripts was changed with Acrobat/Reader 10.0.1.1 update.
You may need to use the "app.getPath" method to locate the exact location for your scriipts or verify the location.

Editing online interactive forms using Acrobat XI Pro

Our organization recently purchased Adobe Acrobat XI Pro in hopes of using it to create and convert many of our forms to electronic format. We recently tried opening an existing online interactive form to edit it and it says "This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form". Did we purchase the wrong product for what we are trying to do? I'm in panic mode because we are very new to this type of editing and I hope we didn't purchase the wrong thing. Any suggestions?

There are two kinds of PDF forms: Acrobat forms and LiveCycle Designer
forms. The latter are actually XML files and can only be edited in
LiveCycle Designer, which used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro but is not
any more. If your forms were created in LCD then you need to purchase that
application as well if you want to edit them.

Email Completed Form, Not Data

Hello,
I have created a form in designer with a "submit by email" button. It works perfectly as it should. What I would like to do is have the completed from sent back to me instead of the XML. Is this possible? The users are filling out the form as many as 10 times a day. I receive them in the field (in my car) via my web enabled phone. The phone will not open the XML file properly but it will display PDF's with no problems.
Thank you,
Patrick

Some additional info to add to what SekharN said:
1) Add a button (not the email submit button, just the "button")
2) Set the Control type to Submit
3) On the submit tab, add "mailto:[email protected]" in the Submit to URL box
4) Change the submit as drop down to PDF
5) Save the form
6) Open the form in professional 8.0 (not livecycle designer)
7) Go to the Advanced option on the toolbar and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" which will require you to save the file again.
once you've done that you should have no problem with the emailing the completed form.

A way for end users to email completed forms?

I would like my end users to be able to complete the form and then send the whole, completed pdf form (not just the data) to another person. I believe my users will probably be using the latest version of Adobe Reader. Now, I realize that saving information typed into a pdf form is technically not supposed to happen, and I imagine one would have to save the completed form in order to email it, but I believe a few months back that I followed a thread on this forum that discussed just how to circumvent this issue and allow an end user to email a completed form in pdf format. Naturally, I cannot find the thread now that I need it.
Anyone out there know if and how I can make this whole emailing business happen?
Thanks!

First don't use the default e-mail submit button from object library, that will send just the xml data. Instead you can use the default button and set its control type to Submit. After this put in the Submit to URL field some thing like this: mailto:[email protected]
When you finish the form you need also extend the form by doing what our coleague said above.
Now when you click the submit button it will send the entire form through e-mail.
I hope this helps.

AppleScript do script file completely broken in Acrobat 9 Pro?

After not being able to use Acrobat 8 at all because of this issue
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4b95a
I plunked down another $170 hoping the issue would be fixed in Acrobat 9.
But with Acrobat 9 Pro (9.0.0, OS X 10.5.5), calling do script file does not seem to work at all. I've created a simple one line script:
console.println("test 123");
and called it like this:
tell application "Adobe Acrobat Pro"
do script file "Path:to:file:test.js" as alias
end tell
I get this error:
92:181: execution error: Adobe Acrobat Pro got an error: Can't continue do script. (-1708)
The console in Acrobat Pro shows:
illegal character
0:
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

It depends. Generally-speaking the content of PDF files created in Acrobat X will use PDF/1.7 as the base level so will open in Acrobat and Reader 9, but there are exceptions, including:
PDF Portfolios won't display properly
PDFs using the 'Acrobat X or later' security hash won't open at all
Some edge case scenarios with certification won't validate
Files which exploit bugs in one version or which hit a bug in a previous version
All PDFs created in Acrobat (Standard or Pro) will open in the same version of Reader, Standard or Pro - it's only the creation/editing features which vary between flavors.
