Hiding submit button from an Infopath form in a Sharepoint Library document

I have a Sharepoint document library that is setup to collect submissions from a form that faces the public. Because it faces the public it needs to have the standard/familiar submit button. The problem is that when the form is submitted to the
document library and the document is reviewed, it still contains the button - which will be confusing/complained about by staff.
I attempted to use a hidden boolean field that would switch to "True" when the submit button is clicked and then use conditional formatting to hide the button before submitting through the data connection. But apparently, there is no way
to move the conditional formatting rules after the action rules that make the boolean swith.
I then tried to switch to a new view that was identical to my Main view before submitting but the button is still appearing on the submitted documents in the form library.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this? I have to think I'm missing something obvious.

Please try this -

Submit button from Interactive adobe form in Web Dynpro ABAP

Hi all,
We seem to be having a problem with the 'submit' button on the Interactive Form for the Web Dynpro ABAP. The submit button is from the Web Dynpro active X or web Dynpro Native in the form designer. The submit button doesn't trigger the action in Web Dynpro. we are currently running on support pack 9 for the ABAP stack. We have Internet Explorer browser version 6. Could someone tell me if there are requirements for the IE version that will work in conjunction with a particular ABAP stack version. And, are there specific IE security settings or administrative privilages required with this version of the ABAP stack. Or, any other ideas as to why this does not seem to work.
Thanks in advance,
Michelle Hong

Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger action???

Hi all,
the submit button within Adobe form doesn't trigger any action that i wrote. it happens to my machine, but it doesn't happen on some of my colleague's machines.
i am using Adobe reader 8, when the first time i use IE to display the app, it prompts me to install some kind of activeX plug in, and after it installed, it told me that some setting is not correct, and it mentioned about adobe reader 6 or 7.
will downgrade to 6 or 7 solve this problem? is there any other walkaround for it?
thank you!

If you are on Netweaver 2004s SP9 or higher, you could change the displayType property of InteractiveForm UI element to "Web Dynpro Native" and use the submit button from "Native" tab.
If you are any other lower version, you dont have a choice but to use "activeX" which requires Active Component Framework (ACF) to communicate with server. You need to use button from "Web Dynpro ActiveX" tab. You need to install the right version of ACF (SAP Note 766191). Better if you use Adobe Reader 8.1.2.
Thanks

How do I add a submit button to a pdf form?

hello
I am trying to add a submit button to a pdf form... is this possible though forms central or Acrobat Pro?

If it is a PDF you created with FormsCentral, then yes, it should have a Submit button. See this for more info: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/create-fillable-pdf-form.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/create-forms-locally-save-them.html
If it's a fillable form created with Acrobat Pro, and you want to collect data with FormsCentral, then you import that existing PDF file into FormsCentral and add a Submit button to the form: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/navigate-formscentral.html#import_exi sting_fillable_pdf_forms

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

2 Submit Buttons --- doesn't process form

I previously was utilizing one button and the cancelAction command. However, this was causing the form to be submitted when used in the preSubmit event.
I have recently implemented a 2 submit button solution to a form, which works beautifly for validation. All my edits are executed when they are suppose to be. However, now the form does not submit. When I click the complete button, noting happens.
I have regular button name Validate, where I do all of my edit checks, and it calls the click event of a submit button, Button1, if all edits pass. I use the command Button1.execEvent("click");
The click event of Button1 is greyed out, not sure if that is an issue.
Has anyone ever encountered this before?

Hi,
I am guessing that you have used a submit by email button, which automates the submit process. As a result it does not have a click event. I would recommend using a regular button with script in its click event that will do the submit. There are examples of single button submit here, which you should be able to adapt for your hidden submit/regular button: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ.
Hope that helps,

Unable to change and re-publish existing InfoPath forms on External SharePoint lists (SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Online and On Premise)

Hi everybody,
I really reached the limit of my diagnostic ability... ...please help me!!!!
I subscribed an Online Sharepoint 2013 Development site to try Business Connectivity Services and InfoPath forms. Using SharePoint Designer 2013 I successfully created an external content type
and an external list, including InfoPath forms.
When I use InfoPath Designer 2013 to customize the forms I can open and change them without any problems, but when I try to publish the changes I made I get the following error:
"An error has occurred. The form template has been published to the server but it can only be opened using InfoPath filler"
(please note that I changed just an existing label, without adding any new control or new fields).
If I try to do exactly the same things but with an normal SharePoint list everything works like a charm!
I noted that the main difference between the internal/external list is that with the internal list the publishing path in InfoPath 2013 is something like:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>
whereas for the external list is something like the following:
https://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
Trying to overcome the problem I installed SharePoint 2013 Enterprise on premise using the VM from the Windows Azure Gallery. In this case the error I get when I try to publish with InfoPath
Designer 2013 is the following:
The following URL is not valid:
http://<sharepointsite>/lists/<listname>/item/template.xsn
and of course everything works fine with InfoPath Designer 2013 and regular SharePoint lists.
Even if I believe the problem is in general with external list and InfoPath, my external list is based on a the "Product" table from the "AdventureWorks2012" sample database
installed on SQL Azure and connected to SharePoint via Business Connectivity Services.
A big
thanks in advance to anyone who is able to
provide useful information to solve the problem!!!
Regards,
Fabio

Hi Folks,
Same issue here for any external list. We've migrated from 2010 to 2013 - it used to be fine on 2010. 2013 seems hang after 'getting site column information' then nothing. All effected users can quick publish to regular sharepoint lists, but cannot to external
lists.
In our situation we are trying to quick publish to sites using the 2010 look and feel in a 2013 environment. using SharePoint Designer 2013 and InfoPath 2013.

Handling Submit Button on the ADOBE form called from Web Dynpro

Hi,
I have placed a Button on the ADOBE Form. How to Handle the event on this button. When i click this button, i want to save the details of the form into a Custom table.

Hi Majunath.
Create an event say, SUB_EVTin the view in WD where you have the Interactive Form UI element.
Bind this event to the onSubmit of the Form.
Now check the display type of the form. It will be either ActiveX or Native.
Now go to the form designer and open Library palette. Navigate to Webdynpro ActiveX or Native Library(Depending on the form display Type in WD).
Drag and Drop Submit button.
On click of the button, the event handler in WD view namely, onActionsub_evt will be invoked. You can write your code in this handler.
Now in order to read data from the form. Go to the form and go to Properties tab. Check the form layout type. If it is not ZCI, run transaction SFP_ZCI_UPDATE and convert the form to ZCI type.
Now back to the event handler.
as an example... I will use the following context node definitions
PDF_DATA 1..1
ACTUAL_DATA 0..n
    ATTRIB01
    ATTRIB02
Assume the the node PDF_DATA is bound to the data source of your form.
Now in the event handler write the foll code
data: lo_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lt_data   type wd_this->elements_actual_data.
lo_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this-.wdctx_pdf_data ).
lo_node = lo_node->get_child_node( name = wd_this-.wdctx_actual_data ).
lo_node->get_static_attributes_table(
importing
    table = lt_data ).
This will get all the form data in the internal table lt_data.
Now you can process the data the way you want and save it in your custom tables.
Regards,
Reema .

How do I remove the "SUBMIT" button from a forms central PDF?

I downloaded a fillable PDF I want to e-mail now, but I want to remove the "SUBMIT" button that is added on for forms central.

When you convert a web form that you've created in FormsCentral and download as a PDF, you have the option of not including a submit button. If you created a PDF form with the desktop version of Acrobat, it won't have a submit button unless you upload it to the FormsCentral service and enable it for submission.
Still, you can remove it in Acrobat by first saving a non-enabled version by selecting: File > Save A Copy
and opening the copy (it doens't happen automatically) and deleting the button.

Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger event???

Hi all,
I am having this weird problem, the submit button wont trigger any event i register to "submit" and so as to the "check" event. when i send the link to one of my colleagues, the button can trigger the event.
i am using adobe reader 8 on IE 6, didn't solve the problem when i downgrade it to reader 7.
any advice???
Thank you.

Hi,
I too had a similar problem sometime back regarding the Submit button. Since you are saying that it is working for your colleague but not you, I predict that something wrong with the network you are in, compared to that of your friend. Have you provided the Preprocessor URL for the button in the Adobe designer?
Cheers

My submit button on my PDF form is greyed out (will not work) after posting link to PDF on my WordPress website. It works in Acrobat Reader just fine.

This is where you can see the form as clicked through to from the WordPress website page:
http://pinetreeplayers.com/ptp_new/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/submit-a-play.pdf
The PDF file was created in Acrobat 11, with a submit button. The submit button is actioned to send the form via email. It works perfectly by itself if the form is opened in Acrobat Reader, but once I upload the PDF to my WordPress site the submit button is greyed out, and will not complete the action to send on-click.
How can I fix this please - can anyone offer advice?

Yes. They need to download Reader and then disable Google Chrome's internal PDF viewer and enable Adobe Reader.
FireFox should also be configured to use Adobe Reader and not the internal PDF viewer.
The internal viewers are created to process PDF documents by not including the features and code to process PDF forms.

Multiple submit buttons in a jsp form?

I've been doing some research and found out that multiple buttons in a JSP form are possible by two ways:
- We can obtain the value of the submit button to know which one was clicked in the parameters of the request using the name of the buttons (which should be the same for all the submit buttons).
- We can change the submit destination using Javascript (Horrible solution since I want my web site to be safe to be used even if Javascript isn't active in clients browsers. I will use it of course since we can do amazing things with it but I want my website to be able to work without it also)
WHAT annoys me is the fact that the value of a submit button is also his text, so if I change the text of the submit button, I will always have to check the servlet to do the corresponding change.
Is there a third choice to be able to use multiple buttons?
Olivier Voutat

It seem rather convoluted at first but it's really good. I've not worked with JSF so I've no idea how that compares but from what I know, Craig McClanahan, who came up with Struts, worked on JSF also, so I guess it could only improve on Struts.
EDIT: Here's a search result on Google'ing his name: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=29068
But like I said, you don't have to use Struts ( which only uses standard JSP/ Servlets stuff anyway ), you simply use one of the ideas from it.
For example; you have a properties file, say "/WEB-INF/properties/myProps.properties" with these entries:
#USERS MODULE
users.button.save=Save User
users.button.search=Search User By Name
users.button.delete=Delete UserThis would be a key: users.button.save to the value Save User
Now, in your JSP, you use JSTL <fmt> tags:
<fmt:setBundle basename="properties.myProps"/>
//set the resource bundle you want to use
//and create buttons with the proper values
<input name="myButton" type="submit"><fmt:message key="users.button.save"/></input>
<input name="myButton" type="submit"><fmt:message key="users.button.search"/></input>This would create buttons with text "Save User" and "Search User By Name" respectively
Now, finally, in your servlet:
//create a map of the properties,
//possibly on app startup using a ServletContextListener
//and put it in the servlet context for access everywhere
HashMap myProps = (HashMap)getServletContext.getAttribute("myPropertiesMap");
String buttonClicked = request.getParameter("myButton");
if ( buttonClicked.equals((String)myProps.get("users.button.save")) )
//perform save action
else if ( buttonClicked.equals((String)myProps.get("users.button.search")) )
//perform search action
//etcYou'll obviously want to optimize this. Perhaps make a method that handles the comparison so you can have neater if conditions. But you get the idea, right?
