Fillable PDF Email Returned as XML ???

I have Adobe Acrobat 7 Pro. When I create a fillable PDF and then email it, once the person completes it and it comes back not as a PDF but as an XML document. Is there a way I can change this to were it will return as a PDF file as well to save me time saving the document before viewing?

Hello,
This forum is limited to questions about Acrobat.com services; as it sounds like you are using Adobe Acrobat desktop software, I recommend posting this question to the Acrobat forum, where it is more likely to be answered correctly:

You may also want to take a look at the Acrobat User Community forum:

Sorry not to be of more help! Good luck.
Kind regards,

Fillable pdf's returned by clients are readable only one line at a time

We have been emailing fillable pdf questionnaires to our customers for them to complete and return via email. When some of them have come
back, they are only viewable one line at a time, we need to highlight the fillable field that the customer completed so we can view their answer.
Does anyone know why this occurs and why it would be isolated to a few cases? Thanks!
George

They were probably filled-in and saved with the Preview application on the Mac. For more information and some approaches you can take to correct, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

Why is my fillable pdf "Email to" action button giving security warning. Can someone help me?

I created a fillable pdf form with an action button that I would like users to use when submitting forms via email. I have double-checked to make sure of the correct email address, but I keep getting a security warning pop up. It states: "This document is trying to connect to: file..." and when I click allow it tells me I need to be running inside a browser to submit the form. All I want to do is allow users to send their form to a specific email address. Please help. I needed this assignment completed yesterday.

No, I am not opening the file in a browser window. I was trying to preview the file to make sure that it would work when it was sent to the individual via email. Will the function only work if the user downloads it from a web page? If so, that might explain a great deal.

Fillable PDF Email not working

I built a fillable PDF form located here http://www.depts.ttu.edu/recsports/sportclubs/forms/Filliable%20Pre-Trip.pdf and when I click on the submit by email button I get a pop up asking me to choose my mail client. However many of my users click on the submit by email button and nothing happens. It isnt a popup blocker or browser platform issue, because I have seen various browsers do the same thing. Does anyone who has created a form such as this have any suggestion as to what it may be?
Thanks

Marta,
That seems to be the problem. Thanks so much for answering this.

Submit Email returns filled in PDF document

I has created a fill in form for my website with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0, Forms Function which take me to LiveCycle Designer to create the form. When I insert the SUBMIT EMAIL button the guide says I can get either the data back or a filed in form as an attachment. The default condition seems to be just getting the data back as an XML file.
What I want to get back is the filled in form as an attachment. Each response is "one-of-a-kind" and I don't need to manage the data, merge the data, or consolidate the data. I just need to view the completed form and be able to print it off.
How do I change the default setting in SUBMIT EMAIL from data to filled in form attachment?

Thank you for your quick, and helpful response.
I modified my form per your suggestions, sent it to Europe and they were
able to submit it without an error message!
Of course, I received duplicate responses, but at least it worked error
free. Thank you.
Has anyone ever located the root of the Adobe/Lotus Notes problem to
completely eliminate the duplicate address?

This problem has come up in other forum and it's believed to be a bug in
Lotus Notes. One workaround was to put a space next to the comma after the
address.

Trying to create a fillable, savable, emailable PDF!!

I have been able to create a fillable, savable, emailable PDF, but when I have my peers send me the response via email it is unviewable by me. Can you please help?!?

What kind of file are you getting back (assuming Reader) -- PDF, FDF, or XML? If one of the 2 latter file types then use the Forms>Manage Data>Import after you open the basic form in Acrobat.

Acrobat 9Pro - How to add a submit (to email address) button for an online fillable PDF form.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but this is my first time trying to add a submit button to the bottom of a online fillable pdf form. I have 5 of these froms to do. I need the user to go to my website, click the link to open an online fillable form, fill it out and click a submit button in the form, so it can be emailed to an individual. I thought I followed all the steps correctly in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, every which way I could find, but the form gives me an error "this operation not permitted", it's in IE, created in Vista and I now have a headache. Do I need to add extra code to my website html somewhere?
Does anyone have the neccessary steps to make this work, a video would be even better. Do I have to have this LifeCycle Designer thing?
My url in case anyone wants to see it. http://www.dyenetwebdesign.com/DaysGoneBy/forms/index2.html
Thanks sooo much!!

Some comments based on your application:
1. It looks like might likely exceed the 500 use limit, in that case to not use Reader Rights or you will violate the license. The cost beyond that can be negotiated with Adobe (if they will talk to you), but don't expect it to be check. In that case, submit the form data as and FDF file. This file can be imported into the form at your end and get exactly the same results as if the whole form had been sent. The FDF submission does not require Reader Rights. The parent will still be able to print the form, but saving would require having Acrobat, not Reader.
2. A lot of the data appears to be personal in terms of the name of children, addresses, etc. It would be a good idea to check with legal counsel about submitting such information by e-mail, particularly for children. E-mail is not generally considered secure, unless you possibly used some form of secure e-mail. For that reason you should consider submitting the data to a web script that would be stored someplace for you to obtain it and possibly send you a notice of receipt. A secure website is preferred for this use. You should keep the option open for anyone to submit the form in paper if they object to the potential security risks with your online submission method.
I know those put rinkles in your forms, but for such an application it is a good idea to consider the potential consequences if you do not worry about the form security and number of uses. The potential is to put you out of business or more. OK, an extremist view, but worth considering.

How to automatically create fillable PDFs from XML

We are looking for a way to create fillable PDFs that users can enter data into and save (so the PDF needs Reader Rights applied) and we want to be able to automatically create these PDFs from XML files. We are able to do what we want in a manual fashion using Acrobat Pro v8 but we need a way to automate this due to the volume of XML files that we will need to convert.
Is there any way that this can be scripted from a command line interface with Acrobat.. like:
Acrobat.exe –input FileName.xml –output FileName.pdf –applyReaderRights true
If there is no command line options for this is there any way that this could be coded using .NET or any other programming language?

You cannot automate applying usage rights with Acrobat. For that you'd need to use Adobe's LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
How exactly are you currently converting XML into fillable forms? Are you using an XDP to somehow convert to an XFA-based PDF?

Fillable PDF that emails submission as uneditable/flattened

I need to be able to create a fillable PDF that once submitted, will email a uneditable/flattened version to a given email address. I currently have Acrobat 9 Pro. The PDF that is emailed after someone submits can be edited/altered. I need to remove this. Do I need to upgrade software to be able to do this? If so, please recommend what products I need to be looking at.

You cannot flatten the file after it has been emailed since the user probably has Adobe Reader which cannot flatten files. You can write a script to lock fields. You have have the document signed and set to disallow changes. But that is the extent of your capabilities.

Fillable PDF returned with data, can't see on screen or print

Hi
Help!
I have created a fillable PDF. Client has sent out to their client. Form has been returned. Data is in the fields. However, cannot see the data on screen, or print the data.
Was able to save as / export to an fdf file, then open the fdf file and all details were visible. When printing, an error message popped up, however, everything on the page did print out as expected.
Not sure how the client sent out the original PDF, however, the buttons on the returned PDF have been stripped of their functions !! Somewhere along the process (not sure where/how) the function of the PDF changed!!! ?

No, there are a number of PDF viewers that don't support JavaScript at all. Preview is odd in that it removes a lot of things when it saves, including all JavaScripts, (field, page, document) actions, digital signatures, layers, and many other things. Other PDF viewers are less pernicious, but still don't have much or any support for either form fields or JavaScript. Even Adobe Reader on mobile devices has significantly less support than the desktop versions (Win/Mac) of Reader do.
It is possible to set up a form so that it is essentially unusable if the PDF viewer being used does not have sufficient support for JavaScript. This way the user is prevented from filling in the form and thinking that everything is OK. They will instead be warned to use Adobe Reader, or be allowed to proceed if using some other PDF viewer that is sufficient, such as PDF Expert on iOS, qPDF Notes on Android, or somethig like Foxit Reader or Nitro PDF Reader on Windows.

Return data on fillable pdf

Sending out a fillable pdf, but when page comes back (even using the distribute option) the data is apparently in xml form. It is not in the filled out page form. How do I change the default on my pdf form to make it come back as a filled form?

If you set up a text field so that it allows rich text formatting, it allows you to change the font color, underlining, strikethrough, font size, etc. No highlighting text though.

Email PDF with data not XML

Good day everyone,
I have designed a form with two email buttons, ie Send To Manager and Submit Form. Now what I want to happen is this:
When one of the buttons is clicked, I want the recipient to receive a PDF form (NOT an xml) with all the datat that the employee has completed.
Currently the xml is sent & when I open the xml, its blank, all the data is not there. I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

Ace

Create and populate pdf forms from a xml file for follow up information

Forgive my amateurishness, I have a simple .xml that was created with excel with name, address, date of service, age, dob, account #, unit, and business name. I need a form to be pre-populated with the .xml data but have other fields (mainly Yes/No check boxes) that need to be populated by other users. This users would then finish filling out the form and return it to me via email. I have created the form in LC Designer ES2 and created it with Acrobat Pro X. However when I attempt to import data I can only see the first .xml record. So my question is, how do I create multiple .pdf forms for each .xml record? Do I need to use Java within LC Designer? Or use Adobe Pro? I am not afraid to attempt to code, (I have many excel programs that batch print to .pdf using vb).
Thank you in advance

Try the forum for LiveCycle Designer.

I don't play with forms enough to give an answer. However, you might search the Forms sub-forum for a possible solution. You might also find better answers there, though many of the forms experts drop by here too.

Saving a fillable pdf

I want to create a fillable pdf. I need to be able to email the blank form to users. I need to be able to print the completed form w/out losing data. Would like to be able to email the completed form also, w/out losing data. I don' t need the form data in an xml file. Help! What software do I need?

You can use Acrobat to create the form. If you want pre-11 Reader users to be able to save and email a filled-in form, then the document needs to be Reader-enabled, which you can do with Acrobat. Reader 11 allows a non-enabled form to be saved, so there's no need to Reader-enable for those users unless you also need digital signatures.
