Form help - receiving responses via e-mail (Acrobat 9 Pro Extended)

I have created a "test" form in Acrobat.  The question fields are proprietary content and thus security is set such that the recipient cannot copy, change, or print the form.  The answer fields are drop-downs with A - D options.  I have sent the form to myself as a test and all that works properly.  I need to be able to receive completed forms via e-mail (or just the data if that works) but need to eventually be able to export (or copy) each response set, in order, into MSExcel.  When I tried to send the completed form via e-mail, it indicates the form cannot be saved (obviously due to security settings) and thus the changes (answers) will not be part of the form - only the original with the default answers.
How can I enable responders to send me the test answers via e-mail, without compromising the proprietary nature of the form's content?
Also, I would prefer not to use the Adobe on-line repository because, as I understand it, gives the user access to the form via the web. 
I do have a web site in which I could host the test and allow users to access it, take the test, and then submit the answers.
THANKS!!!!

I finally got our webmaster to put the link to the form online so that I could test the form. It is not sending to the address specified. I have setup the Submit button as follows: in the window under Enter a URL for this link: the URL was input as MailTo: [email protected] (there is a space between MailTo: and the e-mail address). After submitting Outlook 2k3 sends back an undeliverable message. Is the space in the URL causing the issue or is it something I need to run by our security people due to the way the form is being submitted?
Many thanks,
Mike

  • Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Form

    Hello. I have adobe forms and received the alert that it will be ending in July. Then I received an email about Adobe Acrobat XI Pro which can create forms. I signed up for the free trial and when I began to make a new form it brings me back to Adobe Forms. My question is, when Adobe Forms ends on July 28th will Adobe Acrobat XI Pro be able to create forms or will it now? and if not, then why is adobe advertising for it still?

    What you're calling "Adobe Forms" is really Adobe FormsCentral. The FormsCentral service is indeed going away soon, but you can always create PDF forms (AcroForms) with Acrobat. Acrobat also comes with a desktop version of the FormsCentral desiger, which can be used to create simple PDF forms that can be used apart from the FormsCentral service. So you'll no longer be able to create and host web forms with the FormsCentral service or use PDF forms with the FormsCentral service. You will be able to create standalone PDF forms with Acrobat and simple PDF forms with the FormsCentral desktop app.

  • Pdf form created in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended does not function properly when viewed by Reader

    Hello all-
    I have created a form in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and have an issue because when others view the form in Adobe Reader some of the functions do not work- such as the attach a file button I created, or the save, print buttons (all are execute a menu item). These work on my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended but not on Reader.
    I have tried saving many different versions- with security (password) and made sure to allow printing and commenting, editing, digital signatures etc...
    Without any security...
    Even tried extending features in Adobe Reader!
    The response from others is that it all works, except the ATTACH A FILE button- when they click on it it compresses, but, nothing happens!
    I don't know what else to do! (I guess people could just attach things to the e-mail that is generated from the submit button, but worried people might forget at that step once they are past that section on the form and they jump to email to submit).
    Help please!
    A.

    I've already extended the rights and made sure to save to activate that... as well as password protected the docs etc... still nothing...
    I am aware that those with Basic Adobe Reader need rights extended to be able to use functions available to Adobe Pro.

  • Acrobat  9 Pro Extended Forms Issue

    Hello, I'm having an issue with two simple forms that I have created in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. I am using Windows XP SP2. The forms have a submit button that is supposed to send to a specified e-mail address. Everything tests fine until the link is posted on our Intranet. Once the user clicks Submit after filling out the form, they are presented with a box with two buttons: Send Link and Send Copy. Does anyone know how to stop this box from popping up? What is happening is they do not read the box and click Send Link, which only sends a blank form back to us and they lose what they have filled out. Any help would be much appreciated, and thank you in advance.

    I finally got our webmaster to put the link to the form online so that I could test the form. It is not sending to the address specified. I have setup the Submit button as follows: in the window under Enter a URL for this link: the URL was input as MailTo: [email protected] (there is a space between MailTo: and the e-mail address). After submitting Outlook 2k3 sends back an undeliverable message. Is the space in the URL causing the issue or is it something I need to run by our security people due to the way the form is being submitted?

  • Help Please...Damaged 3D plugin on Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Guidance to Re-install

    Hello...
    I have been getting Warning messages indicating that "part of the 3D Capture plugin is damaged" over the past week and finally tried to follow Adobe's advice online in modifying the Registry (under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Wow6432) and made sure my security app "trusts" acapture32.dll, then attempted to repair Acrobat twice -- with no luck...in fact things seem even worse now.  But when I tried to contact Adobe support for some guidance, all they could "help" me with was recommending I upgrade to 11, because 9 is no longer supported.  I don't need 11...9 has served my needs perfectly until corruption.
    Tonight I visited Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended's download page, and tried to download the "Version 3D Update 200810" .msi file but when I try to run it, I get a screen that says:  "No qualifying products found to apply this update" which suggests to me it now can't even SEE my app.
    Adobe support would not even answer one simple question I had...perhaps someone here can help me.
    I've seen many questions on the forums related to deactivating on an old system and properly installing and activating the software onto a new computer, but nowhere is there clear guidance on how to uninstall a program that has become corrupted...and reinstall it back onto the SAME computer.
    My question is:
    I know de-activation is critical, but I need to know which of the two choices I should be making before uninstalling then reinstalling:
    1.  Should I choose to "Deactivate & Suspend"...(which supposedly retains my registration information) but if I UNINSTALL the software then REINSTALL it and try to re-activate it, won't I have lost my "registration" information anyway when uninstalling the app from my system before reinstalling it?
    -OR-
    2.  Should I select instead to "Deactivate Permanently", then UNINSTALL the app, then REINSTALL it -- and will I be able to go through the registration process anew for a product that Adobe says it no longer supports...AND activate it?
    Also what seems to be strange, my 9 Pro Extended indicates I am running version 9.5.5, but on Adobe's download page for Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, I only see updates through version 9.4.5.  I've been set to automatically receive Acrobat 9 updates as they are released, so the only place I could have gotten a 9.5.5 update was through Adobe.
    Please help me...Adobe has so many hoops to jump through that there is too much room for screwing up.  So I'm asking for help BEFORE I do...
    Thank you!
    -Janie-

    Hi Rave...
    Bet you thought all was well.  I was without my system for a few days but finally had a chance to uninstall...and reinstall full app and all updates through 9.5.5.
    Problem is...the same problem.  Issues related to 3D Capture with notifications.  The result ends up being a .pdf that either includes hieroglyphics in various parts of the document...or Acrobat freezing altogether forcing me to either attempt to do a hard close on the program (if it lets me)...or hard reboot of my system.  This happens when trying to .pdf web pages or html .pdf docs...not on Word docs, Excel docs or .jpgs -- things like that.
    Here's the content of one of the log files generated:
        %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
         X930A2E12 not found, using Courier.                            (or X93062E47 or X934A2E59 not found, using Courier.) - these locations vary
         X1EFDD07B not found, using Courier.                           (or X1F6ED088 or X1EFAD0A5 not found, using Courier.) - these locations vary
         %%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: show ]%%
         Stack:
         %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
         %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    Also this:
        The operation completed successfully.
         Pipe:\\.\pipe\PMtoDistiller_ID_2:Error                              (or Pipe:\\.\pipe\PMtoDistiller_ID_5:Error) - varies
    I've also been getting a  plugin-container.exe    error message via Windows but don't know if it is related in any way to the 3D Capture issue.
    (I do run Mozilla Firefox v-31.0)
    I also never de-activated (was not allowed to complete the request) before uninstalling AND never was asked to re-activate after re-installing.  So I don't know if that's good news or not.  If I ever want to de-activate on this computer and install/activate onto a new system or HD I'll likely be out of luck on that.
    Other weird stuff upon re-install.  Checked my HD used space BEFORE uninstalling, AFTER uninstalling, and AFTER re-installing application and all updates for 9 Pro Extended.  Results as follows:
    BEFORE UNINSTALL:
    Used:  112 GB
    Free:  31.9 GB
    AFTER UNINSTALL:
    Used:  110 GB
    Free:  36.2 GB
    AFTER RE-INSTALL AND ALL UPDATES INSTALLED:   (I would have expected these figures to be pretty much the same as BEFORE UNINSTALL)
    Used:  124 GB
    Free:  19.3 GB
    And program space under Add/Remove only indicates 1,959 MB -- it was at around 2,300+ MB BEFORE UNINSTALL...
    So something really strange is going on!
    Is there a way to override or disable 3D Capture?
    Other things I'm picking up on.  I had Acrobat Reader on my system before as well as CS2...and originally was using Adobe Acrobat Elements but (except for CS2) had uninstalled those quite some time ago, however...in my Docs & Settings.../JLD/ApplicationData/Adobe/Acrobat folder I'm finding the following folders (and all are populated):
    6.0
    9.0
    10.0
    11.0
    Distiller 6
    Distiller 9
    Preflight Acrobat 9
    Only version of Acrobat showing in "Add/Remove Programs" is 9   (BTW...is Acrobat 6.0/Distiller 6.0 needed for CS2? - but they're not showing up in Add/Remove.)
    In my Program Files, along with CS2 content is:
    Acrobat 6.0 (but the Resource folder within only contains a font)
    Acrobat 9.0
    So I'm trying to think of anything else that may signal what my conflict or problem is being caused by...don't know if any .dll is corrupted, but on a new install I would think those things should now be a non-issue.
    Any ideas (aside from simply turning 3D Capture error notifications off) on how to disengage 3D Capture altogether so there's nothing to set off an error and lock-up because of it?  I can limp through getting hieroglyphics but can't stand getting locked up for attempting to create a .pdf.
    Or a setting in the Registry that I need to contemplate?  I hate touching anything in there...but if it's simply a setting, I can back-up it up, make a change and restore if needed.
    I'm sorry to hit you with all this...but the forum isn't letting me attach any screenshots so I have to write it all in.
    Thank you, Rave!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended crashes when trying to distribute form

    Hi.
    I am experiencing an issue with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Windows XP Pro SP3 32-bit.
    I have created a pdf file derived from an html and css file.
    The pdf file comes out perfectly with form fields automatically detected, etc.
    However, when I try to distribute the form, by clicking on
    1. Forms > Distribute Form...
    2. Manually collect responses in my email inbox..
    3. Save a local copy and manually send it later.
    Acrobat.exe crashes with faulting module acroform.api. when trying to create the response file.
    Faulting application acrobat.exe, version 9.0.0.332, faulting module acroform.api, version 9.0.0.332, fault address 0x00025878.
    Any ideas?
    I can successfully distribute a different form created from InDesign.
    Thank you.

    Any ideas?   there was an update on adobe dated 2/25/13.   Perhaps if I uninstall it?   I need advice on how to uninstall. When I view updates and click on it, and then click uninstall, it goes back to the Program Screen, in Control, for all programs. Then do I click on Acrobat and Uninstall?  I am nervous about doing this. Thanks

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended hangs for about 12 seconds ... please help!

    Hi there,
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and have the following problem:
    I can open PDF documents just fine. But after about 3-4 seconds the program hangs / freezes for about 12 seconds. I've tried everything (defined a non-network printer as default printer, deactivated unecessary fonts with a font manager, deactivated most of the plugins from Adobe Acrobat etc.)... nothing helps to solve this issue.
    Can anybody give me a hint or have a solution for this ???
    Thanks for your help!

  • Need help with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Toolbars on Windows 7

    I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended on Win XP on my desk & on Windows 7 on my laptop.
    On XP I have a toolbar so that I can add lines, boxes & text & then highlight that line or text & change the line or font size & color.
    On windows 7 I can add the line or text, but then I have to click on Properties to change tline or font size & color.
    Am I missing something or has 7 changed to prevent these actions?

    Wow just found my answer in another post  .  . .  i had somehow turned off the adobe tool bar and didn't realize it.
    to bad i didn't find the answer before posting....  sorry for the inconvenience

  • I have Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and would like it to recognize text.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    Our administrator upgraded my computer and Adobe Acrobat now looks different.  Prior to that, I used the tool tab that was in the upper right hand corner for text recognition.  This new version does not have those tabs and I do not see the text option anywhere.  I'm not sure what version I had before but now it is Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.  Can anyone help with this?

    Thank you for the reply, I have figured this out:
    If you’re unable to select text, the text may be part of an image. In Acrobat, to export image text to text that can be selected, choose Document > OCR Text Recognition > Recognize Text Using OCR

  • Text spacing goes crazy after editing a pdf in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Recently upgraded to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from 7.  I have old pdf documents that need minor editing.  When I edit text with Text Touchup tool, I get an error that font substitution taking place, usually  TimesNewRoman Postscript to just TimesNewRoman.  Once I save the pdf, text throughout the entire document is spaced randomly, i.e. "Doc    ument is n    o     t     fo   m    atted  correctly".  I do not have the original source documents to re-scan or recreate the PDF.  If I create a new document using 9, I embed my fonts or I get the same problem.  I can't do this with the hundreds of old documents I have.  Is there a fix? I have tried Adobe Tech support via email with no response.
    I am using Distiller to print to pdf.
    I am using Vista Home Premium (ugh!) but tried it on an XP system with same results.
    All my documents are text, and were OCR'd using Abbyy FineReader originally.

    Thanks for the input, but I don't have the originals in either hardcopy or OCR'd files.  My workaround is to re-OCR the pdf, make the changes I need and then save to PDF.  This makes a lot more work.  I am really trying to figure out what changed in 9 from 7 that causes this to happen.  I believe it is an issue with the fonts, was just hoping for a fix.
    The edits to these documents are minor, like removing some highlighting or taking away a few words of colored text, but they are necessary, just very unhappy that it now can take hours to do something it used to take minutes to do.

  • Acrobat 3D Toolkit missing in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended

    Dear all,
    I updated from Acrobat 8 to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Now I was looking for the Acrobat 3D Toolkit and couldn't find it.
    Was it renamed into Adobe 3D Reviewer or is it just missing in the installation?
    Best regards,
    Sandra.

    Actually, when you create an animation in 3D Reviewer you can only save it to PDF.<br /><br />The animation is saved as a JavaScript attached to the 3D annotation in PDF. It is not saved in U3D or PRC.<br /><br />To view your animation in PDF you need to use a PDF template. There is a default template that comes with the product locaded in the following folder:<br /><br />   C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\plug_ins3d\prc\ENU<br /><br />You should use one of the following templates depending if you rather use Acrobat to create a form template or LiveCycle Designer (also comes with Acrobat Pro Extended):<br /><br />   - a3drtemplate_03.pdf: template created with Acrobat<br />   - a3drtemplate_lc_03.pdf: template created with LC Designer<br /><br />To save to PDF, you need to use the File>Export menu option, then click on the Options button (left corner), then choose PDF from the list of formats, and click on Options again to set the template to use.<br /><br />On the PDF Export Options dialog box, check the box 'Use Template' and select one of the default templates indicated above. Then at the bottom of the dialog box, check the box 'Include Animations' and click OK (twice) and Save.<br /><br />The PDF created will have the JavaScript to play the animation. If you want to take a look at the JavaScript, it is saved in your temp folder at the following location:<br /><br />   C:\Documents and Settings\<userid>\Local Settings\Temp<br /><br />The JavaScript file will have the name of your model with a .jsX extension where X is a number.<br /><br />In 3D Reviewer, special views are created using the following tool: <br /><br />   View>Configurations>Create Configuration<br /><br />If you use the Export to PDF option with a template, all the conigurations will come thru in the PDF. You can also save configurations to a PDF without using a template. They will come in as custom views in PDF.<br /><br />You can download the file below to see an example of a PDF saved from 3D Reviewer with a simple animation:<br /><br />   https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=db6805a2-9cdd-4584-8388-e4d59123f012<br /><br />Hope this helps.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended issues

    7-29-08
    Hello,
    I work in an engineering enviromment doing visualization and
    animation. I have been an advocate for Acrobat 3D as a better way
    to communicate with our customers. We have a large contingent of
    Autodesk Mechanical Desktop and Inventor users. I want to add
    advanced features to the presentations we make to our customers. So
    far it looks like Acrobat 9 Pro Extended does not play nice with
    the Inventor 2009 series, neither the Desktop or Inventor. The main
    issue is that the section tool creates nice outlines where the
    solids are cut that describe the shape made by the cutting plane
    but the solid surfaces the plane would make are missing. It looks
    like the surface normal that should be there is flipped.
    I have looked at the various presentation methods in this new
    relase of Acrobat and they are a big step up but I want to be able
    to open a PDF to a text document with animations embedded in it and
    possibly narrations. I want a tavble of contents that has page
    links to illustrations and paragraphs, and 3D files that my
    customers can interact with. I see nothing in the training that
    addresses this. Can you help?
    Autodesk has it's own design collaboration package that
    produces rotatable 3D files. It is called DWF Writer and the output
    is more realistic than what Acrobat produces. For my needs should I
    abandon Acrobat 3D functions and instead attach 3D DWF's?
    Thanks,

  • Acrobat 9 Pro Extended - Crashes

    In our application there is a case, where I have to make N number of copies of a PDF file but output should be a single PDF file.
    In order to achieve this I am using PDDoc.InsertPages.
    Code sample:
    For(loop) { objPDDoc.InsertPages(x, objPDDoc, x, x, 0); }
    objPDDoc.Save(1, FilePath);
    It is working fine (or failing because out of memory) in most of the machines.
    Result: Output file size around 2GB, no of pages 10050 – Successfully completed.
    But in few machines I am getting “Runtime Error” form Acrobat exe. Following is the crash message.
    “Runtime Error!
    Program: C:/.../Acrobat.exe
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
    Please contact the application’s support team for more information.”
    FYI - Machine configuration:
    OS:      Windows 7
    RAM:    2 GB
    Acrobat: Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (Trial)
    I didn't get this error with XP with Acrobat 9 / 8.
    Is this related to Acrobat Version or Windows 7 and Acrobat combination?
    Please, any one tell me why this runtime error is occuring. What could I do to prevent this?
    Thanks in Adv...

    >>Are you not actually purchasing the product and trying to run with this the demo/trial versions?!?!<<
    Licensed Acrobat 9.2.0 also crashed for our customer.
    So here the problem is not the trial but the crash.
    Is there any thing I could do to avoid this kind of crashes?
    Is my logic of inserting a PDF document into itself "objPDDoc.Insertpage(x, objPDDoc, x, x, 0)" is the reason?
    Is it related to OS or machine configuration or some thing else...?
    Note:
    This crash is not happening always, some time I am able to get the proper output.
    Some of the times the objPDDoc.InsertPages returns false
    or else after the successful completion of 10000 pages insertion the objPDDoc.Save is failing.
    Please help me. I need some information to overcome from this issue.

  • I am trying to move my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended  from my older HP Win7 Pro notebook to my new HP Win 7

    I am trying to move my Acrobat 9 Pro Extended from my older HP Win7 Pro notebook to my new HP Win 7 Pro notebook. This should be WAY easy, and it's not. Sofware downloaded from MS/HP after new noteboook was safely home. Used Microsoft transfersoftware to move all--but the Adobe Night watchman won't recognize my product code (it worked on the older notebook). I have now recopied the irginal download and everything seems fine but the IE plug-in to Adobe PDF printer does not function. Any suggestions?

    You won't like this response, but there is no way to simply move any Adobe software installation from one system to another. In part, this has to do with the registration/activation infrastructure that Adobe uses. FWIW, Adobe isn't the only software vendor for which you can't simply move software from one system to another via various migration tools.
    You must totally uninstall from the first system including product deactivation and then install on the new system and reactivate.
    In terms of “fixing” your current system, I would recommend totally uninstalling the software (and deactivating in the process), reboot, and then reinstall from scratch.
