Form submit button won't work in most browsers

I have a PDF form which I created in InDesign, then added Form fields in Acrobat XI Pro, including a submit and print button. These work fine in Acrobat Reader, but in many browsers (Chrome, Firefox) the "submit" button doesn't work. It works fine in Safari. Since most people filling out an application do it right within the browser, rather than downloading it and opening in Adobe Reader, this is a problem.
The file in question is here:

Shouldn't this work within any browswer?
Thanks!

Yes, it should, and it does. The problem is that Chrome and Firefox come with their own PDF viewers, which do a very bad job, especially with forms.
Users need to disable the Chrome / Firefox PDF viewers, then enable the Adobe Reader add-on.
Firefox, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files and also http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136
Chrome, see https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/142056
You may also encounter additional problems with Safari on Mac OS.

Submit Button won't work

I need some help. I put a form on my page in Dreamweaver 8
and my submit button is not sending the data back to my email
address. Is there particular settings I need to have this done. Can

Adobe interactive form-submit button is not working

hai guys,
i am following the example in sap technical.
i have created the adobe form in webdynpro for abap applaiction.
but the submit button doesnt work .(it doesnt trigger the break point set in on action method)..
reading other threads,i verify,
the button is dragged from webdynpro library(i dont ahve native and activex libbraries but only one library)
i am on
sap ecc 6.0
netweaver 7.0
adobe life cycle designer 7.0
acrobat 8.11
any suggestions?

Hi Kumar,
When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
Thanks and Regards

Form "Submit" button won't center in MSIE 8

I have a simple (not yet working) form on a page that I'm designing (url below) that has a "Submit" button at the bottom of the form. I have created a class called .center which sets top and bottom margin values, plus "auto" for left and right margins. And it sets display to "block". I have applied that class to the "Submit" button. It appears centered in Firefox, but not in MSIE 8. Can someone tell me why, and let me know how I might get the button to center in both browsers?

Submit button doesn't work when form is uploaded to website

I created a form with a submit button that works well when I open the form from my documents. However, once I upload that same form to my website, the submit button doesn't work. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

If the form is opened in the browser, it is probably using the browser's built-in PDF viewer (e.g., Chrome and Firefox), which likely does not support the submit action. It's possible to disable the built-in viewer and configure it so Adobe Reader is used to view the PDF and the submit button should work. This will be something each user would have to set up, so providing instructions is a good idea.

Submit button doesn't work after moving form to another parent container

I'm re-arranging the page using jquery. When I moved a div or table containing a form to another div, the submit button doesn't work anymore. Using the emulation mode under the Inspect Element feature of IE, the same code works for IE9 but not under IE10
and up.
Any ideas?

I will steal the answer that George gave to a similar question, because it turns out it is applicable here as well:
George Johnson on Feb 23, 2012 11:17 AM
When you distribute a form, it replaces the email address that you've set up in a submit button with the email address you have specified in "Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address". So before you initiate the Distribute Form process, change the email address there to the one you want to use.
It is a ridiculous solution, because it means I have to make the identity of my personal copy of Acrobat the email address of someone else or some other department when I make the form, but whatever -- at least the form sends now.

Submit button is not working

I have created a fillable web form using the FormsCentral app on my mac.
It has a couple of required fields, and a couple of show/hide fields.
It tests perfectly, and we sent out a link to the formscentral link to all staff and for some people it does not work. They can see the form and fill in data, but the show/hide stuff doesn't perform correctly and the submit button doesn't work.
Works for me in Safari and Firefox, and seems sketchy in IE - works for some but not others.
Any thoughts?

The first thing to confirm is that the form is an HTML/web form and not a PDF embedded in the browser, if it is a PDF please see this FAQ: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4142
Assuming you or your customers/users are having problems submitting the HTML/web form - the most common cause of show/hide logic not working and the Submit button not working is Javascript is not enabled in the web browser.
Some things to try (since instructions for each item vary per browser google the steps for the browser you are using):
Confirm that Javascript is enabled (required for FormsCentral forms):
http://www.javatester.org/javascript.html
Clear the browser cache
Try disabling browser plugins
If using Internet Explorer check to see if the page is in "Compatibility View" mode and if so try turning it off
Try a different web browser
I know that this is made more difficult by the fact that it is not you reporting this issue but your customers and you may not have acess to try the steps above...
If these steps don't resolve the issue please respond with the operating system you are on (Mac or Windows) and which web browser and version you are using.
You can send me the URL to your form at [email protected] so I can try in IE on Windows to confirm that in general it works (or identify an issue if it does not).
Thanks,
Josh

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?

Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Submit button doesn't work unless I use the record wizard

If I create a form using the data objects/insert record/record wizard my form works fine..ie..the date gets inputed into my mysql database. However, if I create the form myself without the record wizard my submit button does not work. Any suggestions or thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

It could be a problem with that script.
You think?
I'd say it definitely is. But without seeing any code, we can only guess.

Vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word

Question:
I have a T42 ThinkPad and the vertical scrolling with TrackPoint's middle button won't work on MS Word and therefore not in my email either. Big pain in butt as I'm so used to using it. Are there any patches that fix that? Any ideas on why it won't work?

It's really weird. My suggestion would be that you install the most up-to-date driver by direct downloading or via System Update (if you haven't updated the driver).

Can't Add Credit Card (submit button doesn't work)

Hey. Recently come across a problem trying to add my credit card so I could buy a Twitter app that works with Twitters new authorization.
The submit button doesn't work. It is still there, but it is unclickable, it doesn't load up anything, or do anything. It doesn't change to being clickable at any time.
If it helps, I have the Palm Pre, I'm with O2 (UK).
Can anyone help?
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

This sounds like a credit card related issue. Has anything about your credit card changed, like a new expiration data? You can go to App Catalog, tap the drop-down menu, select Preferences and Accounts, then choose the account name, enter your profile password, tap continue, When the Edit Credit Card screen appears, re-enter the credit card number and confirm that the remaining info is valid or enter any new information, then submit.
