Fillable form email issue

I have created a fillable form and when the user fills in the fields and hits the email button only the check box fields are captured in the XML. How do I get it to include all data from the form in the XML export?

That should work yes. Not to say that there isn't anything else that will cause this but it's the typical reason why it happens.
It shouldn't cause any conflicts in a Mac. At worst, Reader may want to open PDF's by default but they can easily switch that back by highlighting a PDF, choosing File>Get Info>Open with, choosing Preview and clicking "Change all". When I installed Reader, Mac Preview remained the default Reader until I told it to use Reader.
Mac and Windows users can get the reader at http://get.adobe.com/reader/?promoid=BUIGO. It will detect their OS and give them the correct download.
One thing, if they decide to keep Preview as their default PDF Reader then they will have to actually open Reader and use File>Open to open PDF's in Reader.

Adobe Form Email Issue

I have created an Adobe form that has 4 Submit buttons:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=adobe form
(each button is different, of course)
Anyways, when you click on any of the buttons, a box appears to Select Email Client:
Option 1: Desktop Email Application (Choose this option if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.)
Option 2: Internet Email (Choose this option if you currently use an Internet email service such as Yahoo or Microsoft Hotmail. You will then need to save your form and return it manually to [email protected] using your Internet email service.)
I work for a company who utilizes Microsoft Outlook, so I choose Option 1 and click OK and nothing happens. I have used this type of button and form before and the button worked properly - opened a new message in Outlook with the To field and the subject field prepopulated with the information set during design of the form and the form attached as a PDF.
Any suggestions on what I could do next or try to correct this issue because I am not the only one having this problem and the whole company I work for uses this form and it needs to be fixed soon!?!?
Thanks!!!

This has very little to do with Acrobat and very much to do with how email is activated
This is discussed OFTEN over on the Dreamweaver forum, where people make an HTML form with an email submit button... and are not happy when anyone who does not use the right kind of email program is not able to use the form... such as any of the "free" email clients like Yahoo
The usual solution over there (I don't have details, the only user submission form I work with is in a controlled company environment, where everyone MUST use the approved email client) is to set up a server based solution with your own software on the server, so clicking the submit button activates YOUR software, not whatever is on the user's computer

Distribute form email issue

I am not able to change the email address in the TO line in the send form dialog box. I am hitting a brick wall. Please help. Thank you.
Thank you

This is a dialog, that comes up when the form is distributed via Acrobat.
The To-Adress(es) can be added during the distribution setup.
See this tutorial (Step 6)
http://layersmagazine.com/distributing-forms-with-acrobatcom.html
You can either redistribute the form or you open the Tracker, where you can add new recipients.

JSP - Input form - Email Issue

Good Morning Everyone,
I have an input form that has 6 input boxes, seperated in 2 groups. Names and Email addresses.
I am currently attempting to send the input values to the JSP page as an array, which will then be looped emailing each user that i have previously entered from the first page.
The problem comes if i dont input values in all the forms on the first page i get an error. If it is all filled out then it all goes fine and dandy.
I have edited the html code down to protext page size.
HTML page.
<form action="formname.jsp" method="POST">
<table>
<tr><td>
Name <input type="text" name="name" value=""></td>
<td>
Email <input type="text" name="email" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>
Name 2<input type="text" name="name" value=""></td>
<td>
Email 2<input type="text" name="email" value=""></td>
</tr>
<tr><td>

message.setSubject(nName[counter]);

So the above error message happens if i dont put data in all of the input forms, but if i do it has no error. The mail will get sent to the addresses i have specified but will come up with an error if only one is inputed with a name.
Also how would i also add a html email to this, instead of plain text.
Thanks!

Email fillable form without having to save

Hi,
I am using Acrobat Pro 9 to create a fillable form and the users of this form will have Acrobat Reader 9 or earlier.
Is there a way to email a completed, fillable pdf so the recipient of the email will receive the completed form but the sender does not have to save the form prior to sending?
I've created this fillable form on a shared network drive for our staff to complete when they want to request time off from work. In order to avoid using paper, I want them to fill out this form electronically and email it to their supervisor but I don't want them to be able to save the filled out form. I tested the form and when I fill it out and send it to myself, it comes back as blank...unless I save a copy of it which I don't want to do.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the response Bill. The form was created using Acrobat Pro 9.
I understand the concept of having to save the form but not the data however most of my staff are not very computer literate and I need to keep it as simple as possible:
1. Open the form, fill it out and hit Send.
2. Recipient opens the email, clicks the attachment and reads the form.
I don't mind setting things up and doing the hard work but if the users have to do anything other than 1 and 2, then its not worth setting up.
I guess the main issue with staff keeping a copy of the form is that they can then go back, change something on the form (ie, the date they want time off from work) and then resend the form. Sounds childish but you don't know the people I work with. lol
Maybe I should ask: is there a way to automatically generate a date stamp on a document once it is saved and it can't be deleted or altered? If a completed form is sent to the supervisor and the date stamp is before the current date, the supervisor will know that the form was altered.
Thanks,

Issue while changing fields in a fillable form PDF (Acrobat 10.1.4 Pro)

Good Afternoon!
This is my first time posting here, so forgive me if this is in the wrong place.
I am an IT technician trying to support a user who is trying to change a PDF into a fillable form using Acrobat 10.1.4. She is trying to use the wizard as shown in the image below:
When she uses this function, Acrobat goes through and automatically detects all possible fields and creates them for her. Below is an image of the result:
What she is trying to do is change some of the field types - specifically, she wants to change the box next to "Adult/non-college request" to a check box. She right clicks on this field to change it, and when she does, Acrobat simply closes. No error comes up, and she is not given the option to save the document - when she opens it again, it is an ordinary PDF. In addition, if she creates the form, and then only tries to save the form (without trying to change the fields), Acrobat again simply closes itself. However, she is able to manually create fillable fields if she does not use the wizard at all, and the document functions normally.
Any help with this issue would be most appreciated.

Save early and often.
I would save the result right after the wizard has made its errors.
One needs to delete the form field and then manually add the correct type of field. If you want that check box and the next to be mutually exclusive, one gives them the same name and sets the export value for each check box to a unique value.
I edit forms by opening the "Tools => Forms => Edit fields".
How to create editable PDF form fields
I do not like the wizards and create forms by adding all form fields manually according to my planned form design.

Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good. I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad.
THanks

If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save. If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved. If I select “Save”, the modification is saved. So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save. Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit. So there is no prompt to Save on close. The modifications are saved automatically.
If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open. Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user. This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.

Emailing a fillable form in PDF format

Hi,
I need to create a PDF fillable form that will send a filled pdf
version to an email on submit.
The ones we have tried so far send an xml version of the form instead
of the filled pdf version.
Also, is it possible to leave the email recipient empty to allow the
form to be sent to different people each time it's filled?
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional CS3.
Thank you in advance,
FayeC

The answer to my dilemna may be somewhere in the posts I've read; however, so far I have not had luck finding it! PLEASE HELP - Prior to receiving an upgrade to my Adobe Professional 8, I was able to create a form from a WORD or PDF document, "Save As," send the form to a user. The user could then complete the form online, and "Save As," and all the filled in content would remain in the document. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to figure out how to make this happen. The document will work for me; however, the users can fill in the form, but it will not let them save it after it is complete. A good portion of our teams work relies on us being able to provide these types of documents for our customers. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! or WHY CAN'T I GET THIS TO WORK?!
I am very frustrated, and the Help function in Adobe is not helping!
Thanks...PJ BRAY

Fillable forms blank after emailing

I am using an old version of Acrobat- Acrobat9 Pro. I have created a number of fillable forms to streamline the admin part of a project I am doing. The forms work fine to complete and save. But when I email them to someone, more than half the time they come through as blank. Any idea about how to fix this?

BUMP!

Fillable Forms to be emailed completed

How do I make a fillable form that can be saved and emailed completed?

Adityas advice works if you are using Adobe Acrobat and not Adobe Reader. If you use this option, you would be wise to read up on the limitations involved with these types of extended PDF's so you don't get yourself in trouble.
Short story: There is a limit to how many people can fill them out before Adobe has their attorney's contact you.

Fillable Form Return Email Address

How can I change the incorrect email return address on my distributed fillable form?

Fillable Forms: How to enable ppl to fill out/save/and email forms?

Hello. I'm trying to determine if it is possible to set a fillable form so ppl can save a form so they can email the file. Is that possible? If so, please share how to make the settings in the form.

If you mean that you want to allow users with Adobe Reader to save a filled-in form, then you can Reader-enable the form using Acrobat. How you do that depends on which version you have:
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

Help needed creating a fillable form and emailing it.

I'm new to all this and have no clue where to start. If there is a document that lays out how to do this, a link to it would work. I need to create 2 fillable forms. 1 will need a submit button and once you click submit, it automatically sends the form. The 2nd one will need to allow the end user to select to whom the document is to go to. I think it will have to open an email message to do this, but I'm not sure. Please advise.

It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

PDF fillable form problem with sending email

I created a fillable form on a PDF. I used the "emailto:" setting correctly. I have tested it out on numerous computers throughout my company and it has appeared in the email inbox of my supplied email with no problem. However, when my manager went to test the "Submit by Email" button I created on the PDF fillable form, it does not sync up with the "Select Email Client" box. It starts to do a 'send/receive" on her Microsoft Outlook. When I go and check to see if it sent anything at all to the designated email inbox it sends like 15 forms (some of them open and some of them do not). I assume that is just from her clicking a zillion times. But, I am curious to figure out why the "sent/receive" button appears on the bottom right-hand corner of her screen?!
Is there a security setting that she might not have clicked that everyone else does? Also, the "Print Form" button I created right next to the "Submit by Email" box works perfectly.
Any help is appreciated!

Now we are even more confused
- system GW knows itself and answers for example.com
- system other knows itself and answers for __________?
You used example2.com in your above which is different from what you
started out with. And now you are mentioning IMAP that you haven't
mentioned at all before. Perhaps you are writing faster than you are
thinking and missing getting the key data into here, and that makes it
difficult for us to constructively help you.
