Exporting or saving the filled-out form to a specified location.

Hi,
I have created a pdf form using Acrobat X Standard. Currently, the way I have designed it is- the filled out form is attached to the email when the user clicks submit button. I am using some java code that I found through this forum. I do not know much about java.
I want to change this. In addition to emailing the completed form, I would like the form to automatically get saved  to a pre-defined location when the user cliks submit button. Is there anyway I can do that. The problem I  see in this is the file name. How would that be handled?
May be I am asking something impossible. But your thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks,
s.p

The basic method you'd use is the doc.saveAs method: page: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.524.html
Here is a good tutorial on how to use it: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
It doesn't mention though that it can be used in a certified document, in which case the trusted function stuff isn't necessary.

    Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

  • When I code script window.history.back(); /script on a page due to a data validation problem, all browsers except Firefox redisplay the filled-out form page.

    When I use javascript "window.history.back()" because a user enter invalid text, Firefox returns to the page with the form on it but it clears out the form. All the other browsers go back to the previous page with the form filled out as it was when submit was entered.
    Firefox did not used to do this. I do not change browser settings from default to get this unfortunate behavior. This may mean Firefox is more secure, but only on a public computer. On a private computer, this sucks.

    See if this helps you.

  • Please Help a Novice: Saving a Filled Out Form

    How do I create a form that my staff can fill out, save, and send a finished uneditable version to our client?
    I'm a novice.  I've created the form (it's an estimate form) and my staff can fill it out but they can't seem to save and send.  We are on MAX OS 10.6

    I don't know if it is possible to directly import an Excel spreadsheet having drop down lists.
    However, there is a way to create a DDL on iPad Numbers:
    - tap on Cell
    - tap the paintbrush symbol (top right side)
    - choose "Format"
    - select "Pop-up menu"
    What I'd try
    - try to find an app / tool that can convert DDLs from XL to iOS Numbers
    - or enter the DDL manually, if it is not too much work.

  • Acrobat Pro 7, Adobe Reader 8, and Filled out forms

    My head is spinning with all the "Acrobat features" that seem to be in Acrobat, but actually aren't. At least not in the version I always seem to have. I wish Adobe would be more diligent in explaining what features are are in which version and what features are in the Windows version that aren't in the Mac version.
    I'll do a search for a particular question. Get an answer of Yes, Acrobat can do that. Only to find out (through trial and error and usually not the article I'm reading) that I can't do what I what I want in the version I have.
    To my question: We are using Acrobat 7 (CS2) to make forms for people to fill out and return to us. The people filling out the forms will mostly be in Adobe Reader 8.
    How can we get those folks to send us the filled out form? I have yet to get that to work. I have Reader 8 on my machine and when I use the Submit Button method, Reader tells me SendMail can't recognize my mail client, but then gives me no way of fixing that? Where are SendMail preferences? SendMail isn't even in the Help menu!
    Any insight would be appreciated...

    There is a New feature in Acrobat 8, that allows usage rights (you have to choose in tools menu, to allow it.
    For small companies and Non-Profits, Adobe threw us a Bone. As long as as you receive no more than 500 respondents you can do this without breaking the EULA. (License agreement).
    What you do is create your form make sure you have perfected and needs no changes. then turn on this item in Tools menu to allow Fill out and email. Then post to a website or send individually to no more than 500 people by email. They can fill out the form save the changes then send back.
    However when you do this any person using Acrobat Pro 7 or Acrobat 8, or Reader 7 or 8 can do this. doesn't work bellow version 7. But Acrobat 8 is the only one (so far Than can create these.
    If you make a mistake in the form and find it after turning usage rights on you have to save a copy with rights turn of and make your changes then go through procedure again.

  • User being able to download filled out form in pdf format

    Hello,
    I'm testing the formscentral application and was wondering if the users are able to obtain a copy of the filled out form in pdf format versus just plain text in the email?
    Thanks

    No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.

  • Attaching a filled out form

    Hello
    How can I attach a filled out form to an email? Currently my email button attaches the form as an XML. The end user needs to file the filled out form to a file but in it current XML format does not make it user friendly reading as if it was in the pdf format.
    Any ideas would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Keith.

    You can also send the entire PDF. Here are the steps:
    - Open the Form in Designer
    - Add a button object to the form
    - Update the caption to something like 'submit the form' or 'email the form'
    - Change the Control type of the button to Submit
    - Click on the Submit tab and choose PDF for the 'Submit as' type
    - update the submit URL to mailto:[email protected]
    *Please note that the user submitting the form will need Acrobat (or) you can Reader Enable the form if the user only has Reader. This is required since Reader can't save PDF by default.
    Usage rights can be added using LiveCycle Reader Extensions (or) you can add usage rights in Acrobat (advanced > Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader). *Please note that if you use Acrobat to Reader enable the form, there is a licensing restriction on the number of users that the form can be sent to.

  • From Paypal Not Returning to Filled Out Form

    While testing my purchase form, everything seems to work with Paypal. However, when I select 'cancel and go back to filled out form' it goes back to a blank form. So, if customer wants to make a change, he must fill out the entire form again. Is there a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I don't know how to attach the form to this post, otherwise i would have

    Hi;
    Yes, it is a known issue and unfortunately the feature and it is not working.  It will change very soon but not for the better, for now the wording will simply say return to the form until we've fixed returning to the filled out form.
    Thanks,

  • Fill-out form

    How can I create a pdf fill-out form on my website so and have the user click a button so that the filled-out form can be emailed back to me?

    Here's one way: make a PDF file with your form fields. Make a Button and set the Mouse Up action to Submit a Form.
    In the Submit Form Selections, select the HTML radio button, then add the URL to a cgi script, plus "#FDF".
    For example: if you had a PHP file that parses incoming data, then sends it with mail(); you'd use "http://www.myurl.com/emailme.php#FDF".
    Then post your PDF file on your server.
    If you know PHP well, you can even have the PHP file return a "Content-Type: application/vnd.adobe.xfdf" header and send data back to the PDF file, which can be displayed in a PDF field.

  • Allow Mac Adobe Reader user to save filled-out form

    I have created an interactive PDF form for a client's website. Her patients are able to fill out the form and submit it to her. She is able to receive the form, but cannot save it to her Mac using Adobe Reader for the Mac. She says it goes blank when she tries to save it.
    I created the form in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I double-checked in Acrobat 9 Pro, Extend Features in Adobe Reader, and it says "This document already has enabled usage rights in Adobe Reader".
    Does my client need to have Acrobat in order to save the filled-out forms?
    I will attach a test copy of the form.
    Thank you very much,
    Heather

  • Why can't I email filled out forms?

    I fill out a form, but when I email it it sends a blank.

    Hi Posrthos,
    Your data is in the form, but Apple's email application doesn't display forms or comments in PDF properly when it shows  the preview. The recipient of the email will be able to open the PDF in Adobe Reader and see the filled out form correctly, regardless of this issue in iOS.
    We have reported this problem to Apple and are working with them to make sure that they understand the PDF specification, but do not have any info on when or whether they will fix the display in their email app.
    Thanks
