Emailing Adobe PDF Form Problem

I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat Pro v9 and I want to be able to send it individually to people to complete and email back to me in order to gather data. I'm testing it and it will not allow the recipient to save the file using Adobe Reader once they've completed it in order to email it back. I have enabled the Extended Features for Reader, but that has not solved the problem. Is there any way I can do what I'm needing using just Adobe Acrobat? After doing some research I discovered LiveCycle, but I work on a Mac and I don't see that they have a Mac version. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Bre

Can you post a copy of thePDF that doesn't work for us to look at? Somethings obviously not right but it's hard to say what it is without seeing it.

Problems with Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java

As of now , I have two major issues in developing Adobe PDF forms in Web Dynpro Java .
1.Text getting wrapped and repeated from the first line :
Any text field that flows to the next page gets wrapped at the end of the page and is again printed on the next page beginning from the first line .
For eg:
If I have 4 lines in a text field that is at the end of the page
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
and the page holds space for only two lines it prints the lines
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
in the first page and then proceeds to the next page and prints
1111111111111111111111
2222222222222222222222
rather than printing
3333333333333333333333
4444444444444444444444
2.No way to hide a page at runtime:
It is not possible to hide a page in a PDF form at runtime . If scripting is used , the page turns into a blank page but not hidden .
Any pointers on this????????
Helpful answers will be suitably rewarded with points!!!!

Yes,I am using the versions that you mentioned.
I have a node called MasterData which is the root node for my PDF Form.I have a node called GenData inside this node whose ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num attribute is bound to a hidden TextField in my form.In the docReady event of this TextField, I am writing the following FormCalc script to hide my SubForm whose Id is MngrCmptnc
if(MasterData.GenData.ctx_Appraisal_Type_Num == "2")
then
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "visible"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "visible"
else
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.MngrCmptnc.MngrCmptnc.presence = "hidden"
MasterData.StrImp.presence = "hidden"
endif

Adobe PDF form / submit sutton does nothing in Safari 5.1.2

Hi,
We display embedded Acrobat PDF forms containing a submit button in Safari.
If I press "submit" nothing happens, this worked some Safari versions before.
My Adobe Reader is: Adobe Reader X, Version 10.1.1
My Safari version is 5.1.2, I removed and reinstalled it, still does not work.
Reading this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8302233/pdf-submit-a-form-button-safari
"I contacted Adobe again, and their technical support was more helpful.
It is a known issue, and Adobe suggests using a different browser, or downgrade to Safari 5.0.1.
Adobe will soon issue a patch for this to work with Safari 5.1.1.
Well, I have 5.1.2 and this does not seam to be fixed yet.
Downgrading my Safari version to 5.0.1 made the Adobe PDF forms work again with Safari, the submit button does something.
Does anybody have some information about this? Is there another way to solve this issue then to downgrade to version 5.0.1 ?
Thanks for helping
huba

Hello,
I'm experiencing the same issue and wondered if you have any news re this problem or have found some workaround ?
I've performed tests on all verions of Safari 5.1.x including the latest 5.1.4 and unfortunately the bug still exists.
Thanks in advance for your consideration and any help!

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.

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.

Faxing adobe pdf forms using actions in CRM service process

Hi experts,
Does anybody has experience in sending adobe PDF forms as a fax using actions in CRM service processes? Currently I use this by implementing a PPF BAdI, but what else configuration, software and hardware requirements I need to make faxing work in CRM?
Is it possible to use 3rd party software to send the fax for example winfax and transfer the fax number to this?
Regards:
Gabor

Dear Dezso,
As far as I remember, we already know each other
Our company have been using winfax in the past for sending fax messages. Now that they will use SAP-CRM shall they buy a new fax server? I have looked after Topcall, it might be useful with RFC?
In CRM service order, I use the EXEC_METHODCALL_PPF BAdI implementation to collect the data from the service order, and then use the standard function modules to "print" or "fax" the PDF document (call function FM_NAME).
At this function module, which structure do I neet to enter the recipient's fax number (I read somewhere that I have to use DEVICE='TELEFAX' in the output_options - is it true?) ?
Or should I communicate from the BAdI with Business Communication Services (create recipient and similar methods)?
Is there any way to send the fax from the local machine where the user uses the SAP GUI?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and support!
Gabor

Re: Interactive Adobe PDF forms

Hi,
In interactive Adobe PDF forms only two events are give such as OnCheck and OnSubmit. Is it possible to use other events appart from check and submit.If so how to use it and where to code it.
Is Interactive pdf forms are ment for these two purposes only.
Thanks and regards .
Karthik

Hi
The other events you may need would be mostly for field level validations. The adobe framework allows one to write javascripts. Every UI element on the Adobe will have its own set of events. For eg say u want to fill a dropdown frm a RFC when an other UI in the form is clicked and you choose not to use the oncheck or submit action, here is the way:
Make the RFC a webservice, call the webservice using javascript in the onclick action of UI element 1. Similarly you can use other events to fill, validate and manipulate data. Finally once all that is done submit the data to SAP. Hope it helps. Thank you.

ADOBE pdf Forms upload on EP

Hi,
Can somebody pls tell me the steps to upload ADOBE pdf Forms on Eportal...
We have a requirement in which the user can download the pdf forms from EP & upload it again on EP doing some changes in pdf.
Thanks in Advance,
Nikesh Shah

Hi Nikesh,
As per your description you would like to use the PDF forms to update data in the CRM system. In that case you will be required to create a Webdynpro application which will work with some RFF/BAPI which will update data in the CRM tables.
To use Adobe forms you need to have Adobe LiveCycle Designer installed and configured with SAP EP Server.
The option you currently use is not linked to any backend system and that file is being stored in the KM repository of the EP server.
Please visit the following link for more details:

Adobe PDF Form (submission by email) - ok on desktop, but using Adobe Reader on iPhone cannot 'submit'

I recently created an Adobe form (Adobe XI Pro) with a 'submit' button - submission by email (not using Forms Central). The form works well on desktop (Outlook 2010), but when I open the same PDF on mobile (Adobe Reader installed), the 'submit' function is a dud - does nothing. Any ideas for a fix? Thanks.

If your user is using Adobe Reader and wants to add an attachment to your PDF file... you need Adobe LiveCycle Designer Reader Extensions to do that...
If your user is using Adobe Acrobat Pro then u can add attachments with this
var myDoc = event.target;
var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;
myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);
var sFileName = myDataObject.path;
ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile);
NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
you can also remove the file
myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);
you can also open the file
myDoc.exportDataObject({ cName: sFile, nLaunch: 2 });
