Can't send a PAGES document Via email in PDF form ... used to be done by clicking share and PDF HELOP

creating a document on pages and trying to share it via email in PDF form used to be really easy...
How does this work now? help

I always just do file->print. Then in the lower left is a menu that said "PDF" and just pick "Mail PDF" from the dropdown and a new email is composed with the PDF attached. One step to print, one click to choose mail and you're done. I just tried this on the latest Yosemite and Pages updates and it works fine.

I need instructions on how to create a button that will email a pdf form to someone else on a websit

I NEED ASSISTANCE CREATING A BUTTON THAT WILL EMAIL A PDF FORM FROM A WEBSITE TO WHOEVER THE VIEWER WANTS TO

Just a bit more info. E-mail can be used, but has potential problems -- often related to the client machine that you have no control over. Use the data submissions (either FDF or XML) rather than the full PDF so you do not have to deal with Reader Rights and the related license issues. The FDF and XML data files are easily imported into the original form so that you see what the client sees. With those aspects in mind, just go ahead and try one. Be aware that you can add form fields using the form tools in the Advanced Editing tools, OR use the forms menu that will take you to Designer. You might want to try both to see the pros and cons. Be sure to keep such a test simple so you are not wasting time on your final form just for testing. I typically create a 1 page form that has all of the possible fields for such a test.

PDF form responses coming back uneditable

I have created a lengthy form in InDesign (v.9.2) for a client, which I have exported to PDF then extended in Acrobat Pro (11.0.06) under File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools.
This makes the form savable (if that's a real word.) The form is sent to their clients, which they fill in, save and send back by email.
When the form returns, my client wants to be able to edit some of the responses further (mainly checkboxes) then re-save but the Save option in file menu is greyed out. The purple bar says 'Click "Sign" to fill out and send this form etc...'. If you try to 'Save as > PDF', it will only save a blank copy of the form.
I assume the client's clients use Reader for the input, and the client definitely uses just Reader.
I have suggested using an original copy and checking all the checkboxes that the client specified, but they are getting a lot of these forms back and that would be too time-consuming.
Is there a way round this without them having to upgrade to Acrobat Pro? That would make them distinctly unhappy. Though if the community decreed that was the only option, it could be considered.
Any help greatly appreciated!

The form that you sent is not Reader-enabled, so that would be the reason it's not savable with Reader versions prior to 11. Reader 11 is able to save non-enabled forms, so I would your clients could use it, but this doesn't help unless all of the people they distribute it to use Reader 11 as well.
You should not provide clients with Reader-enabled forms, except for testing purposes. If they will be distributing a form for the purpose of collecting data and need Reader-enabled forms, they need to enable them with their own version of Acrobat. This is an Acrobat licensing issue.
The Acrobat license also limits the licensee from using data from no more than 500 instances (including hardcopies) of an enabled form if the form has been made available to more than 500 recipients. A way to avoid this limitation is to use Adobe's FormsCentral service, which allows PDF forms to securely submit the form data, which is collected by a server. A team or people can have access to the data and export any response as a filled-in PDF, which can be further edited as they want. They could instead set up their own web server to collect submissions, but this requires some expertise and more expense, particularly if security is needed. A form can also be set up to submit just the form data by email, which also avoids the licensing limitations, but since email is not secure and notoriously unreliable, it should not be considered for anything of much importance.
Note that Acrobat Standard is sufficient for enabling the form for use with Reader.
You should also make them aware of the Preview problem that I mentioned earlier. If they encounter a form that has been corrupted by Preview, they should export the form data and import it into the original blank form. They will need Acrobat for this.

Help with PDF form responses

Hey there!
I have two issues with online form data collection and am completely stumped. It's a real struggle to find useful documentation for Acrobat forms!
#1 - I have created a form uploaded it to Acrobat.com, and have been able to collect test form data. In the local responses portfolio, I'm able to use the 'Update' button to bring the latest form data into the portfolio. But I would like to have a colleague be responsible for monitoring the form data and we're running into problems. He's able to open the portfolio and has full access, however the 'Update' button is greyed out so he is unable to bring in new form data. We've already updated his 'Acrobat.com' username/password in Acrobat preferences to match mine, but still no luck. Any help?
#2 - Some computers are having issues with electronic submission. My best guess is that this is to do with Acrobat versions, as the issues all seem to come from computers where the form is completed using Acrobat Reader 8. The form was created with Pro 9, and form submission works for both Pro 9 and also Reader 9. Is there something I can do here? (And yes I know that it's a free upgrade to 9, but 8 is still in the official build for our organisation and I don't really have time to wait for them to complete an upgrade!)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I use Ipower for my hosting. I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail. Would this work?
The way I would like this to work would be:
1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
2) Client opens and fills in the form
3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Emailing a PDF Form

Hi everyone,
I have created a form using Acrobat Pro XI. The form is viewed in Reader by end users which they can complete and save.
At the bottom of the form I have 3 buttons. Save Form, Print Form , Clear Form. They are all working fine.
I would now like to add an extra button called Send Form that enables end users to send their completed form to the appropriate recipients. If possible I would like the following steps to occur
User clicks Send Form
Outlook (or other mail software) opens a new email
To: field is automatically populated with email addresses eg say Payroll and Finance
Subject: line is Populated with Staffing Action Form - [Action Requested] - [Employee Name]
Attachment Field; contains the attached completed Staffing Action Form
In the message body the text The attached Staffing Action Form has been completed and submitted for action.
* The [Action Requested] is a drop down field within the form
* The [Employee Name] is a text field in the form
Also is it possible to send the email to different recipients based on what has been selected through the [Action Requested] value via an If Else or Case statement?
Is there anyone with experience in sending PDF forms as email attachments that could assist me with the script for this please?
Many thanks
Michael

What you describe is possible by scripting.
You can read about the "mailDoc" method at:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.505.html
As a first step, have a look at this tutorial:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address
You can download the example and adapt the script to your file.

PDF form response display

I'm pretty new to all of this, but here is what I'm trying to do:
I work at a research facility, and we are wanting to be able to send PDF surveys and forms to people, and then let them click on an http submit button that will send the data to a JEE5 servlet that will persist the data into our database, so we can reduce manual entry.
We made a simple PDF form in LiveCycle Designer 8, and I have the servlet working fine, in that it takes all of the information and and persists it to the database. the only thing left is we want to give the user some sort of results to let them know that the data was entered, and if possible show them some generated content, such as a score or results or something. The "preview pdf" window in the LiveCycle Designer can read html fine, so it shows everything as we want. However, plain adobe reader cant, it pops up an error saying "Cannot handle content type: text/html". Now the data is entered into the database fine, but the user thinks there was an error.
I found an opensource java api (iText) that can generate pdfs and send them out in the response stream. Normal browsers recognize it fine, saving a pdf that can then be opened in adobe reader, but adobe reader still thinks its a text/html stream, and the LiveCycle Designer thinks the new pdf has not pages.
if I could get the reader to display some sort of results page, that would be great, but really I would be satisfied with as little as the pop up window saying "Data submitted successfully".

Derrick,
I don't think this is quite the right LiveCycle forum. This is for the Data
Services part of LC, formerly known as the Flex Data Services. This is the
back-end server that works with Flex client applications.
I would try the Forms forums.

Emailing a PDF form w/o an email address submit button

I have created a form; but my company does not want it to go to specific email address. So I took out the submit button. What they want is for people to be able to fill in the PDF form and send it to whomever they choose via email. BUT in reader, they cannot save the PDF. What do I need to do to get this to work correctly?
Thanks!
Diana

I had the same request.
All i did was leave the email address blank. On the "Design View", it will show an error but the employee will not see this. They can then just enter an email address.

Ipad email and PDF Forms

So I am sending Acro Forms to the iPad. Single page PDF forms open in the body of the email and when I send them to PDF Expert from the email client, they are broken when I try and send them back via the email button in the form. Multi-page PDF's do not open in the email preview body and they work in PDF Expert and email recipients. Conclusion: PDF Preview on iPAD breaks Acro Forms.
Thoughts?

Email Notifications Based on Response

Is it possible to have the email notification go to different email addresses based on response from a drop down menu?
For example, a "Safety" issue, when chosen, would be automatically forwarded to the safety manager or a "Clinical" issue to the clinical operations manager and not each and every email address of the whole team?
Thanks for your help!

That might be a good idea for the future.
Thanks for your help and I hope that you have a great day!

How do i email a pdf form

How do I email a filled out PDF Form? I can fill it out, but Adobe keeps asking me for $$ to send it.

That may be the way that the forum was designed... if there's a "submit" button (or something akin to it) on the form, you may be able to send the data collected on the filled-out form but not be able to save the form with the filled-in data.
Is there a submit button or the like on the forum?
