Is Acrobat Attachments possible when submit pdf form as XDP

I need to attach documents in my pdf form using acrobat attachment functionality (not the workspace atachments). It works fine when submit form as PDF but fails when submit form as XDP. I need to add some data to form data(process ID using SetValue) before assigning to 2nd user. For this, I think, XDP submission is best. But Using PDF submission I am not able to modify the data in between the process using SetValue.
Is it possible to send attachments while submitting form as XDP ?? OR how else I can achieve this ??
Please Help.
Thanks.

Is there a simple way (I don't know javascript) to get all fields/values in the email body?
This can be done with JS, and it's not too complicated, but you can't generate an email from Reader without any attachments (well, actually you can, but then the amount of data you can put in it is very limited), it has to have either the entire PDF, or a file with the form data, attached to it.

Submit pdf form fields data as customized template

Hi
Is it possible to submit pdf form fields as a customized template?
when the form is submited, I want it to be emailed to me as text form and the form field data would be autopopulated into the text template.
Im not sure but is this how fdf works?
if so, how do i get my form to be submitted as fdf?
please help.
thanks.

Here you go .....the 3 fields at the top are where you enter data. The allfields field is the field that creates your special format and teh submitted data field is what you woudl recieve in the email. Note that i changed th ebinding for the first three fields so that they are not included as separate items in the data file. This shoudl simplify what you recieve. I cam change the format of what is written to the allfields if you need a different distinction. In this example I hardcoded everything ....depending how many fields there are on yours i woudl use a different approach (using some complicated code) but the concept woudl be the same. I woudl find all of the fields on your form and loop through all of these objects in a for loop construct this will reduce th eamount of code dramatically and also allow you to modify the form to add or remove fields as you see fit without having to change the code.
Make sense?

Submit pdf form data to sql database

Where I can find detailed information on the process of sending data from pdf form stored on the website to the sql database stored on web server ?? Where I can find some samples I could use to build my form and related script(s).
Thanks for advice.
Tony

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for your quick response. I can not retrieve your
attachments, so please send them by email. Thank you.
What does it mean that DSN has to be set up on each machine which will run
the form ??? Does it mean for each person who will use the form ?? or
rather once on the server where the form is hosted ??? It will be a bit
difficult to use if it will have to be installed on each user computers as
some users may not be happy to do it. If this is the case do you have any
solution you would recommend which will collect the data from the form
without asking users to do anything special on their computers ????

submit pdf form data to sql database
If you want the form to contact the DB directly you will have to set up a
DSN on each of the machines that will run the form. Note that this wil
only work on Windows machines. Also the form must be launched for the
script to run (you mentioned the PDF was stored on the web server). I have
some samples that show how to deal with a DB but the attachments do not
seem to be working correctly on the forum yet. If you cannot retrieve them
post your email and I will email them to you directly.

Issue when opening PDF forms in Acrobat X

First, pardon me if this is the incorrect forum for this post. I did not locate any general technical support board for Acrobat X but I could have missed it.
I have a user who has Adobe Acrobat X Standard (10.1.6) installed on his computer system. He is able to generate PDF files and open regular PDF files without issues. However, if he opens up any PDF which is a form, Acrobat immediately crashes. His computer is a Windows 7 Professional x64 system. Antivirus on the system is GFI Vipre Business.
Here is what I have tried:
Update Acrobat with the latest patches/updates.
Different Windows profile with administrator rights.
Removed Acrobat and reinstall through normal convential means.
Removed Acrobat via tool at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html.
Remove Acrobat and then do a manual clean of the registry and Windows Explorer.
Cleaned up fonts on the system. This might not have been done right but based on the error, perhaps you all can offer suggestions on if this error is related to font issues.
I would perform a system restore, but this user is unsure of when this issue started happening exactly. So, we'd be in the dark on this. The only thing that I can think I haven't tried is a wipe of the computer.
Here are the specific errors:
This error is received when trying to directly open a form PDF on the system:
Title: Font Capture: Acrobat.exe - Bad Image

Anyone have any other suggestions? I'd appreciate any advice.
Thank you!

Hi, I am having the same problem as your user when I try to open a pdf form in acrobat. I also have had a similar problem, still unresolved, described here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5146964.
I can't find any solutions. I even tried uninstalling Acrobat X pro and instead gong back to installing Acrobat 9. Same problems persist. Don't know what to do.

Acrobat 9.4.4 crashes when open PDF forms

We are currently rollout out a Win7 imange and using Microsoft Configuration Manager's task sequence to install Acrobat 9.4.4. to the image. Acrobat works fine when opening regular PDF file. However, Acrobat crashes everytime when opening a PDF form. Our current workaround is repair Acrobat. Once its completed, Acrobat can open PDF forms without any problems. But, the repair takes ~20mins, I am seeking for a easier solution or perhap fix the installation in the image.
I reached out to our Acrobat Platinum support, my call was rerounted 3 times and I was on the phone more than 3 hours. No one wants to take my call and start troubleshoot. Very frustrated. Greatly appreciated for any suggestions and advice. Thank you.

how big is the PDF in MB (more or less according to the loose pages)?
what happens if you save to desktop as xyz_2.pdf for eg.

SSL error when friends of friends also submit PDF form

We've sent a PDF form out into the wild. It sends back data correctly on the first time that the form is submitted. But when second-generation respondents try to submit, my contacts are reporting SSL errors.
Is there a way that the PDF can be safely passed around without creating errors?
The form was built in InDesign with its form controls. Imported into FormsCentral and the FC Submit button added. The distribute version was then saved to the desktop and emailed out.
Thanks,
Dan
EDIT: ...or is this related to Adobe's security certificate thingy that was happening overnight?

This was likely related to the SSL security issue earlier in the day. Please have them retry it. If they still are having issues please reply back and we can see what is causing the issue.

Submit PDF form

I have created a PDF form by using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8. Now i want to get data from pdf & insert into database(first user login & then insert data of particular user).
i tried by simple button (with control type: submit) & HTTP Submit Button, when i am clicking on button login jsp open (specified in URL) in adobe acrobat professionl not in internet explorer browser why this happen?
is this possible with using buttons & how i get data at server site?
if any other good way for my requirement please post here.

Linda,
Reader cannot save data in forms without being enabled by Acrobat 8 or
9. They cannot submit back a form you create via email. The best way to
handle the issue is to post the form a the net and have the data sent
back to you. This has to be scripted on the server side. Even if you
upgraded to Acrobat 8 or 9, they cannot send back the form to you
automatically if they are not using a supported mail program or if they
perform their mail based tasks in a browser. Which is why for
reliability the form needs to be hosted on the net.

Host Embed Submit PDF Form Online

I have been scouring the web and apparently I am either asking for something that cannot be done.. or I am terrible at searching. That being said, I was not sure which forum this would best go under so feel free to redirect me as needed.
A client gave me a PDF file (Application for Employment) which has been setup with fields and is Reader Enabled. I would like to host it on their website with a link which preferably takes them to the pdf form embedded in their browser. Then they would ideally be able to fill out the PDF form and click a submit button which would then send it to an email address. I would prefer not to do a mailto solution to avoid the users personal email.
It seems like Adobe eludes to them hosting this functionality, but I can't pin that down. I have also found the website FormRouter which appears to do what we want.. but for a much higher price than we are willing to pay for something that will be accessed once or twice a month.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

On the license, it all depends on the volume that is expected and you should read the EULA for clarification. Better safe than sorry.
If they sent you the form and it is already set for submission (that would be a property of the submit button and depends on if the form is an Acrobat form -- tools menu -- or a Designer form -- forms menu), then all you would need to do is put a standard link into the web site. The form would open in Reader or Acrobat and the client would proceed. The details of the process all depend on what your customer has asked you to do. If it is a submission process, then you would need to modify the PDF.
In any case, even with the PDF embedded (for browsers where possible), the file is basically opening in Reader, Acrobat, or the browser plugin that is loaded by these -- basically opening the PDF in an Adobe product, not really in the browser as such. The actions are then whatever that viewing product is capable of.
My comments were to flag a warning of the process, the potential use of data submission (not requiring enabling the Reader), and the pitfalls of e-mail submission. The latter should really be left to submissions within a controlled environment where you can control the setup of the client e-mail system. In the past MAPI has been required on the user system. Apparently an additional process has been added with AA9, but is subject to lots of problems. There are apparently problems on MACs also, and I don't even know what those are. The only "sure" submission is to a web script. Unfortunately, Adobe has suggested the e-mail (mailto:) submission since AA7, without clarifying the pitfalls. Folks write a form and then have problems, coming here for us to explain what the problem was and the e-mail submission is not recommended for general use. Actually, mailto submission of forms in HTML is subject to a lot of problems also and is generally not recommended in the HTML community for the same reason -- browser problems or variations. I am just providing a warning, the choice is yours. It might work most of the time. When it does not, how much do you expect the customer to come back and blame it all on you!

Error message when submitting PDF form

I am very new at using Adobe Acrobat so I don't really know what I am doing. I created a PDF form for my site. I set it up to submit to an email. When I tested the form and hit the submit button I got this error "An error occurred while creating the file 'C:\WINDOWS\FORMS\FRMCACHE.DAT' in the form directory." Any help on what I am doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Andrea

To submit by e-mail, the client computer has to have MAPI active for the e-mail clients. Also, you do not want folks to submit a full PDF, but just the FDF or XML form results. Those can be opened in the form on your machine. One of these issues are likely related to your problem.
Be aware that you likely designed the form in Designer, not Acrobat. There are form tools in Acrobat, but many folks just hit the Forms menu and then find themselves taken to Designer. Once in Designer, you can no longer do editing in Acrobat.

Submit pdf form as HTML will attach a tmp file to email

I all,
I'm just trying to submit a simple pdf form as HTML but I always get a "RandomFileName.tmp" file as attachment to the resulting email.
If I open the tmp file with a text editor I see it contains my form fields name and their related values.
But I think the end-user has not all the knowledge to open a strange file name with a tmp extension.
Why do this happen? is it a bug?
I'm using Acrobat X and Thunderbird 24.0 as email client.
Is there a simple way (I don't know javascript) to get all fields/values in the email body?
This task should be really simple but I cannot find any usefull info on adobe website.
TIA for any help or suggestion.

Submit PDF form via email = Operation is not permited!

Hi there,
I just downloaded a trial version of Acrobat 9.0 to see if we can make a bunch of our forms more user friendly and possibly interacive.
I have created a form, and now I'd like to enable the user to submit the entire form by email to one of our email accounts by clicking a Submit button.
I followed the required steps religously and defined the "Submit a form" action, triggered by "Mouse Up" and included the required mailto:[email protected] link.
However, when I open the form in either Acrobat Pro 9 or Reader 9, the text on the button is not there and when I click on the button it either pulls up an email that looks the way it's supposed to, but the "email was not sent". If I try the same thing on my MAC, clicking on the button generates "Operation not permitted" message.
Where did I go wrong?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as this feature or ability is pretty much crucial to our decision to purchase the application.
Many thanks.

There are a few things to be careful about, particularly if others are to read your form on a variety of systems.
1. Don't use spaces in the file name. A lot of browsers will choke on spaces, though most are starting to accept this non-standard habit resulting from Windows habits.
2. Don't put a space between mailto: and your email. It will send a space in from of your e-mail address that may cause a problem with an e-mail client.
3. Your submit button was not labelled, with an icon as you had it set or simply text "Submit."
I modified the form to come to me and filled it out. The data was sent to me and I asked to open it, it could not find the file but allowed me to select the form file and it opened up just fine. You can also open the form in Acrobat and use the import data option. It sounds like this last little bit was the hangup for you. In the past I have been able to select the FDF file and it would open right up. I am not sure what is necessary for it to find the form - standard placement or what I am not sure.

Submit Pdf form to http w/ credentials (username/password)

Hi!
I developed a form in Adobe LiveCycle, it has a button which submits form with attachments to http site.
No coding involved, just configuration of the button.
Http site requires credentials (username/password). How do I pass those credentials with submission?
Can username/password be added to http header?
Or I can excecute some javascript before submission?
Thanks you!

I got it working
1. WS (in .net) must be asmx service. WS method accepting attachment should have string as a parameter, which will be passed as base-64 encoded string. So to save it as a file it has to be decoded first. I used byte[] ... = Convert.FromBase64String(yourstring).
Keep in mind string <= 2GB
2. In PDF file add WS service as Data Connection (File->New Data Connection ->WSDL File-> wsdl -> etc...). PDF will generate all WS parameters and a button to call WS. Drag and drop data connection on the form OR right mouse click -> generate fields OR set <connect> element of different controls as you wish to match data connection. Let's say control generated and binded to WS input string parameter is called "base64StringDocContent" (name = "base64StringDocContent") and button that submits to WS is called "submitAttachmentBtn" (name="submitAttachmentBtn").
3. Javascript code to send attachment to WS:
//access pdf form
var formDom = event.target;
//attachment id should be unique, can be anything you like
var attachmentId = new Date().getTime() + "";
//prompt user for document and get it
var documentSelected = formDom.importDataObject(attachmentId);
if (documentSelected == true){
     //user selected the document
     //get stream of the document (attachment)
     var inputStream = formDom.getDataObjectContents(attachmentId);
     //get new stream encoded as base64
     var vEncodedStream = Net.streamEncode(inputStream, "base64");
     //get string from the stream
     var sBase64 = util.stringFromStream(vEncodeStream);
     //get conrol which is binded to WS input parameter
     //my PDF form is called form1
     var wsInputParam = form1.resolveNode("$..base64StringDocContent");
     //get button which submits to WS
     var wsSubmitBtn = form1.resolveNode("$..submitAttachmentBtn");
     //assign attachment content (encoded string to input parameter)
     wsInputParam.rawValue = sBase64;
     //call click event of WS submit button
     wsSubmitBtn.execEvent('click');
     //done
     //if WS returns any value it will be assigned to control binded to output value of the web service.
else{
     //user clicked Cancel
4. Validation and try and catch should be added where/when needed.
Hope it saves a couple of days for somebody.
Good luck!!!
I am still curious how to work with credentials doing http submission.
If somebody has a solution please post it.

Submit pdf form to Emails written in textboxes

I have 4 textboxes in my form. All textboxes are for the user to input email addresses.
I'd like for the form to submit to the emails written in these textboxes.
Can anyone help with a script for that?

Hi,
Here is your form back to you:
https://acrobat.com/#d=OIKTdhhJsb0gnbbfD4xTIg
If you have a look at the script in the click event of the submit button, you will see how we are building up the email address string based on the six fields.
Please note that I opened this in LC Designer ES2, which only supports a target version of Acrobat/Reader 7 and above. You will need to test on your installation.
Also please note that the email submit tends not to work when previewing the form in LC Designer ES2. You will need to test in Acrobat.
Lastly, as you are looking to return the form as a PDF, users with Reader will only be able to click the Submit button if the form has been Reader Enabled.
More info on that here: http://assure.ly/gYyYc2.
Hope that helps,

How are attachments handled when submitting a form

If a user attaches a file to a PDF form, can the attachment be submitted to a database or spreadsheet? Does the attachment need to be extracted from each form individually?

When submitting, there are a number of quite different possibilities. I'll discuss the file attachments that can be attached as comments since we were discussing them in a different thread.
You can set up a submit form action to include the entire document (PDF) or just the form data and comments (annotations). In order to include the file attachments, you need to use either FDF or XFDF. You'd then have to be able to have some means to extract the attachments from the data files.
If submitting as "HTML", there's a different method that you have use that conforms to RFC 1867, which is nice because it allows you to take advantage of code that used to process HTML forms. It's a more complicated setup on the form since the form needs a text field for each file that will be uploaded.
Once the server gets the data it can do whatever it wants with it. This is a big subject and really beyond the scope of these forums. Probably the simplest method is to store the files securely on the server.
