Help!!!! Is it possible to just submit a pdf form?

I have built an employee application so applicants can go onto our website, fill it out and send it via email.
When you press "Submit by Email" Outlook opens and it sends the form FROM my email address. My main concern is what if a applicant isn't hooked up to outlook. How will the form be sent? How can it even work?
Is there anyway I can configure it to just send the info?
Thanks

I have created a form that is going psycho on me. I added it to our web server for email link distribution to specific families. When I fill out the form - it works marvelously (of course) but when my co-workers fill it out they get various problems:
1 - For my boss, (Acrobat Reader) the "To" field appears empty and when she clicks send - it goes nowhere.
2 - For our programmer, (Acrobat 8 Professional) a different email address appears in the "To" field (one we used in a previous form)
The form was working perfectly when I left work Tuesday afternoon, then totally shot (even for me) yesterday, and now today - it's working for me but not the others.
Is this a glitch?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Please Help--Can't fill out or submit/save .PDF forms

    Hi-
    Running Safari 5.1.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8 (the latest updates according to software update) and using the Schubert PDF browser plugin. http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/
    Before updating from Safari 5.0.xxxx I could fill out and submit .PDF forms in Safari without any issues. Now, I cannot. The form comes up but I cannot enter any text into the text fields.
    About a month ago I went through this and had to revert back from a time machine back up because the ability to fill out forms in browser is an everyday necessity for me.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?? Please help...

    Ok.. I still cannot get this figured out. I'm baffled and frustrated!!
    I did a deep cache cleaning using Snow Leopard Cash Cleaner, all of your reccomendations, and about an hours worth of reading. I had the schubert-it plug in uninstalled and have gone back to reinstalling it with no luck. I was thinking after all the cache cleaning it might work. Nope..
    I can't beleive this is an issue after an update.. Apple is normally so great with this stuff.
    The com.adobe.reader folder does not exist on my computer.
    This problem occurs with any online form, not just the ones I need to access and submit, and it occurs with the native PDF support in Safari as well as the schubert app.
    Any other ideas? I read on one post where someone fixed it with quicktime, but the video he put up to show how he fixed it was no longer available.
    Carolyn, or anyone else, .. any ideas??

  • How to calculate the total of bytes transferred when I submit a PDF Form in A. Reader

    Hello,
    I need to know some way for calculate the total of bytes transferred when I submit a PDF form using JavaScript, hereby:
    b ******************************************************************
    i var service_url = http://some_webservice/;
    i var send_type = "PDF";
    i var doc = event.target;
    i doc.submitForm( { cURL: service_url, cSubmitAs: send_type } );
    b ******************************************************************
    b The reason:
    I need to indicate the percentage of bytes sent to the server, in real time. Adobe Acrobat shows a progress bar and the transferred quantity in bytes, but Adobe Reader doesn't. Is in this case, when I need to find a way in order to make something similar.
    b Than you for your time.

    You can use SharePoint Designer and calculate the total in xslt view. Refer to the following post for more information

  • I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but can't figure ohow to find the file

    I just downloaded a pdf form and need to open it and fill in blanks but how can I find the file in Adobe so I can open it??
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Steve Odem,
    If you downloaded the file from a web page, it most likely went into a Downloads folder on your computer. If you don't know where that folder is, the easiest thing to do may be to use the Find feature of Mac OS or Windows (whichever you use), to search for the PDF form. Once you know where the file ended up, you can easily navigate to that folder in Reader. (Choose File > Open in Reader, then navigate to the file in the Open dialog box.)
    Please let us know if you have additional questions.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Submit a PDF form to a local server

    I've created a simple PDF form using Acrobat 8 Pro on a Mac, and I'm not sure if what I want to do with it is possible. I want to have the PDF form sitting on our local file sharing server and have employees grab the PDF form and fill it out, and when they hit the SUBMIT button have an FDF file saved to a folder on the same server.
    When I choose "submit a form" while trying to format the SUBMIT button, it wants a URL to send it to. Is there a way to tell it to save to a certain location on a local server?
    I may be way out of my league here so I'd appreciate any help.
    Thank You

    Acrobat Pro allows users to export the form data a number of different ways. For example, in Acrobat 7, use the menu item "Advanced > Forms > Export Data from Form...". There are also various JavaScript methods that allow one to export a data file (e.g., exportAsFDF).

  • Is it possible to embed an editable PDF form into an html page?

    I have PDF form (editable) that I want users to be able to login and fill out. Once filled out they would click a "submit" button and the PDF would be stored on the database. Is this possible to use a PDF - without creating a custom form from within Bc? Thanks!

    It's not possible, you *may* be able to get the PDF embedded via an iframe but you certainly wouldn't be able to save the information, at least on the server.

  • How can recipients submit completed PDF forms using a MAC?

    We have created fillable PDF forms using LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  They include
    submit buttons that are set to submit the completed forms as PDFs.  Rights have been extended for Adobe Reader users.  They work great when the recipient is using a PC, but when they are using a MAC we have a number of problems:
    1) the Print and Submit buttons do not work
    2) when the recipient saves and e-mails the file manually, the data they entered is only visible when you click on that field
    Help!  How can our MAC recipients submit their completed form as a PDF that displays all of the data!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Niall.  This information proved really helpful in confirming the problem.  We ran some tests and the problem does seem to only occur when MAC recipients are using Preview.
    We recieved this link from Adobe, which provides a solution if you have access to all the recipients:

  • Why can't I submit a PDF form online?

    I have created a PDF form from a current design. I have then created a submit button with the action to "mailto:[email protected]"
    I have then uploaded this onto a website, and when the user clicks it, fills out the form, and tries to press the "Submit" button, nothing happens. What am I missing?
    Any details would help. I called Adobe but they said they couldn't help me. I am using Acrobat X Pro.

    In order to submit the PDF, the default PDF viewer plugin for each browser must support it.
    To enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer see the following web page:
    Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
    Note: Not all PDF viewers support PDF submissions.

  • How do I submit a pdf form to a direct email link?

    I created a Pdf form It has a submit button on the bottom. I cannot figure out how to submit it to a specific email address on my website. It will open up the website but does not deliver the form to the email. in fact I actually have no idea where the form goes

    Im assuming that the button is created and placed as a plain button
    select the button > Right Click > properties > select an event (I use mouseup) > select an action > submit form > then hit the add button > then insert mailto:[email protected] > then select export format.
    Done

  • Is there a way to submit a pdf form without redirecting my web page?

    I have a fillable pdf form inside of a web page.  When a user clicks on a submit button I have the pdf calling the submitform method.  This redirects the web page to the url I specified inside of my pdf document.  I don't want the web page to be redirected.  I would like to have the pdf submitted to the server and know when I have handled the submission.  Is there a way to do this? 

    Normally you'd return an (X)FDF in this situation. It can contain content that causes an informative popup dialog to be displayed to the user, fill in form fields, and some other things. Are you able to reprogram the server to return an FDF instead of HTML?

    Submitting in HTML format is useful if you're only interested in the form data, but since your form includes digital signature fields, you will want to submit the entire PDF. Using multiple digital signature fields intended for different signers doesn't make much sense for a web form, unless you intend to serve a form that was signed by one person to then be signed by another.
    If submitting the entire PDF, the script can save the entire incoming POSTed data to a file somewhere, in addition to all of the security-related things it needs to handle, and then return a response. As mentioned earlier, it is usually best if this response is an FDF. Here's a link to an introduction to some of the basic concepts: Working with Form Data in Acrobat X | Acrobat Community TV | Adobe TV
    starting at the 9:50 mark. It deals with submitting in HTML format, but it should get you started.

  • Submit signed pdf form to url returns to local view of url

    Hello,
    I am currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, Adabe Acrobat 9 Pro and Adobe Reader 9.
    I want to make a form that can be filled and signed with Reader. I created the form with the the designer and added a submit button that sends the page to a URL. I send the page as an PDF to the url.
    I can create the form so far no problem. I also can make it fillable in the Reader. Filling in the form and signing in the Reader also works fine but when I perform the submit the result page in the browser isn't the url specified in de settings of the button.
    The url is something like this: C:\Users\jt\AppData\Local\Temp\A9R9D46.htm
    The content of the page is the one from the web page specified in the url where de PDF is submitted to but it has to be show in the specified location and not local in a temporary html file.
    Does anyone know how I can go to the url specified in the submit button not locally but on the actual web page.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

  • Is it possible to add files to a PDF form submission?

    Hi there,
    Someone asked me to add an attachment field to a PDF dynamic form. Based on previous research we figured out that will not be possible: our users don't have Acrobat - just Reader - and we won't purchase Reader Extensions. How about using a form field to help the user send the attachments that a are required with that give form? For instance:
    - User would fill in the form and when asked for attachments he/she would browse for the file.
    - The form would save the file name as text on the form (like the answer for a text field)
    - The PDF form would memorize the location of the file(s)
    - When the user hits "Submit" the PDF form would gather the files listed for attachment and add them as attachments - in additon to itself - to the email created by the submission button.
    That way the attachments are not saved as part of the PDF form, but the PDF form is automating the process of adding them to the submission email.
    Is that doable with LiveCycle Designer? Any tips on how to go about coding/building those actions?
    Thanks in advance,
    AV

    If your user is using Adobe Reader and wants to add an attachment to your PDF file... you need Adobe LiveCycle Designer Reader Extensions to do that...
    If your user is using Adobe Acrobat Pro then u can add attachments with this
    var myDoc = event.target;
    var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;
    myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});
    var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile); 
    var sFileName = myDataObject.path; 
    ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile); 
    NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;
    you can also remove the file
    myDoc.removeDataObject(sFile);
    you can also open the file
    myDoc.exportDataObject({ cName: sFile, nLaunch: 2 });
