How to create interactive PDF that can be submitted through website?

I have created an interactive PDF with a submit button at the bottom that will send to my email when clicked. However, when I uploaded the form to my website to test it, the form didn't do anything once I clicked the 'submit' form.
So my question is: What do I need to do to allow the form to submit from my website? I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and Dreamweaver Cs5 if it makes a difference.
Thanks!

Chrome has its own PDF viewer plugin that is quite buggy when it comes to PDF forms (as do Firefox and Safari, by the way).
So yes, the best solution is to download the file and then open it locally using Adobe Reader. However, you can't enforce that. It's up to the user and their browser settings. You can only recommend it to them.

Thanks so much. I downloaded Acrobat XI. It's been "extracting" for the past 30 minutes (even with a fast wi-fi). Hope this is not a problem.

How to create a vi that can be connected to any type of array

I would enjoy to create a vi that can perform an operation (like resizing) on any type of array (array of string, of cluster, of num,...): Which type of control or indicator could I use for this purpose? Any Idea?
Thank's for your help

Olivier,
to do this you have to use a variant input. You can wire any type of data to a variant input. Inside the VI you flatten the variant to a string. The flattened string of an array contains both data and length of the array. You reshape the array manipulating the string. When done, you unflatten the data to a variant and output it from the VI. The caller has to convert the variant input to the source array type. OpenG.org provides a quite extensive toolkit to manipulate variant data. Some VIs specifically manipulates arrays. To see a description of VIs go to : http://opengtoolkit.sourceforge.net/lvdata/index.html
LabVIEW Data Tools can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengtoolkit/
You need both packages lvdata AND error.

How to create a PDF that prints at actual size for all printers

I create printable educational products for teachers and homeschoolers. I need to be able to make some printable PDFs that have cards set to a specific dimension, say 3" x 3". When I create PDFs in InDesign and print them, the printer tends to shrink the PDF down. This happens even when I set the Page Scaling to None. But regardless of what my printer does, I would like to be able to create PDFs that print at actual size for anyone who purchases my products. How can this be done? Can I change the settings when I create the PDF? Do I need to includes special instructions with my products? Thanks so much for your help.

You can specify the printing process in the PDF for Acrobat and Reader, open the PDF in Acrobat > file properties (right mouse click on the page) and in the extended tab (the most right tab) you can set printing not to scale for that PDF as default setting.

How to create Interactive PDF with multiple .mp4 videos– without lagging on playback?

I'm creating a long document with no real effects-- just a "fade" transition from page to page-- and multiple videos. These videos are all formatted as .mp4s, and I have had no issues with the actual process of getting them embedded and playing back on export.
My real issue is that the videos are all extremely laggy on playback. Since this is a presentation document, I'd like to know if there are any options for making the playback a bit smoother. Each video, by itself, plays with no issues. Would the combined filesize of all the videos be causing this? There are about eight 30-second videos and one 2-minute video, which makes the filesize quite large.
Filesize is not an issue, so is there some way to completely embed the videos or create an external folder the PDF document can draw the videos from on playback...? Hopefully I won't be stuck with laggy videos.

My suspicion is that computer setup has more to do it than anything. How much RAM, whether other apps are loaded, what kind of graphics chip, stuff like that.
I don't know of a setting, though you can look at the Flash Player settings in Acrobat. There is certainly nothing in InDesign that would affect it.

Create an editable pdf that can be submitted by email

I've figured out how to create an editable pdf in Adobe Acrobat Pro. The pdf is a form to be completed. Is it possible for the recipient to complete it, save the changes in Adobe Reader and email it back? If not, what software do they need? (Acrobat?)

iicatcher,
You can!
The commands are slightly different depending on the version of Acrobat. I'd recommend you see the following video and help topic:

How to create interactive pdf for Ipad using InDesign CS6

Hi I created a Magazine layout using InDesign CS6 and wanted it to be viewed on native Ipad reader (but not as apps). I put interactivity features like page navigations and hyperlinks and converted it to interactive pdf. The problem was the links and buttons are not showing on Ipad.
I tried using Acrobat Pro to create the hyperlinks and this time the navigations and hyperlinks are showing. But is there a way not to create the hyperlinks manually one by one (specially the next page and previous page). If I have more than 100 pages of documents this process will be very tedious.
Is there a solution to create the interactive pdf directly from InDesign without creating the links in Acrobat?

Hi Guys
This is Sean Smith. Marilou who wrote the original post works for me. Bob if you could point us in the direction of details you need I’ll ensure we provide the additional information as soon as possible.
M tells me she pretty much doing exactly what Steve's article suggests.
The concern is what a remarkably cumbersome process this appears to be.
Even though I believe her explanation entirely I find the problem to be highly disconcerting as it’s wasting an immense amount of valuable time and inhibiting the production process significantly.
She is producing wonderful results but via an immensely painstaking process fraught with potential for error. Each page link has to be manually linked to the next by number. It’s entirely possible to make a mistake and link to the incorrect page thus missing pages.
If she inserts a new page – guess what? All the pages links have to changed manually and double checked yet again.
If she makes a ‘Contents’ section as we do and exports the InDesign file as an interactive PDF all the contents items and links are missing and are therefore blank.
She then has to export the document as a plain PDF and do the job again in Acrobat.
For an extravagantly wealthy company with such extraordinarily expensive software I find this to be entirely incredulous.
Who is the Product Manager for InDesign?
Are they aware of this issue?
What are they doing about it and when will it be done?
Just curious are you guys paid employees or volunteers as this appears to be an official forum and we are new here?
Digital publishing of PDF magazines appears to be an explosive growth market especially for platforms such as the iPad but this primary product for the task appears to be inadequate or ill-conceived.
Is DPS a possible solution or is this more for Apps than PDF production?
Regards
Sean

How to create a DVD that can play on a computer

I've finally become familiar with using Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore. When I'm creating a DVD I understand that it will be played on any standard DVD player but I would also like to have it play on a computer. Is there a setting which will allow this to happen?
I've tried playing it on my PC as well as another, but nothing happens.
Have I overlooked something?
Thank you.

Persius,
Nearly every DVD that will play on a set-top player *should* play on a computer, provided two things:
1.) the computer has a DVD player that can handle that flavor of DVD media, DVD RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD DL, etc.
2.) the computer has a software player installed. This feature has been removed from some common media players. You may need to locate, download and install a separate software player.
There could be another discussion on interlaced vs progressive scan media, but I'll let you ask that question.

How to create BI templates that can appear on Blackberries

Hello,
I am trying to create web templates that will appear on some BI users' blackberries. They use Blackberry models 8110 and 8520. Using the Blackberry simulator for testing, I have managed to get the web templates to appear on the Blackberry screen.
Unfortunately, I cannot display output in a table or graph format. Right now all I get is a line by line text display. I also cannot get variable screens to appear. We are using BI version 3.5 to create the templates. I understand it is not possible to use BW 7 for this purpose.
Does anyone know of any tricks or techniques to get table or graphical web template output to appear on a Blackberry screen?

How to create a latch that can latch the input data for 50ms?

Now I have some data come from the sensor. I want to latch this data for 50 ms and then reset it to 0. Does anybody do this before? Thank you

Now I am using the "two button dialog" to create a dialog box. After the dialog box pop up, I choose "yes" the "two button dialog" will output a "True". My problem is that this "True" disapear too fast. My while loop frequency is only 20Hz. And I want to send this "True" value to somewhere. However the two "button dialog" will clear this "True" after 10ms?. So I always got a "false" value. How to "Freeze" this dialog box output value for at least 50ms? How to create a latch to hold this value?

How to create interactive PDF in Acrobat Pro 11 from Indesign 6 on a Mac and keep all interactivity?

I've seen much discussion on this topic or issue.
I have a 175 page doucment that needs an active TOC, urls that link, buttons that "go back to TOC" on each page and "to next page - to previous page". You can only see the functions properly in Acrobat Reader.
What's up with that? That doesn't work for my deverse client base.
Is it because this was a file originally created in ID 5? I ask because I have since created a new file, exactly the same way with the same interactive attributes as the file that doesn't work and it works fine.
Is my file too many pages for Acrobat to handle?
Please help, my contract depends on this file working.

What you're asking for is perfectly achievable, but it won't work universally. The page count is immaterial.
Table of Contents entries created in InDesign are automatically converted into links when exported to PDF, provided the hyperlinks option on the PDF export dialog has been checked. They should work fine in any desktop software.
Buttons which link to a fixed page and 'next page/previous page' buttons created in InDesign will use a link method that requires JavaScript - this is fully-supported in the Acrobat Family on desktop platforms, but third-party renderers such as Firefox's internal viewer, and mobile PDF apps, have little or no support for scripting.

How to create a pdf file can not save as

i created pdf file, an make security option with no access print and save, when we open that file in reader, print is blocked, but save as button still appear and user could be save in other place or namefile, how to make save as not permitted

PDF like the code for web pages needs to be downloaded to your local system as a temp file so it can be processed for display.
Not being able to copy a file negates the backup capabilities of a network.
