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?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
TIA,
Nancy

To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
I wonder what it will be next time?

Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?

Is there any way to create 3D PDF file without having the model tree ?
3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
Thank you very much

You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
- start Acrobat 3D
- drag & drop a CAD file
- click on 3D Annot to activate
- right-click on 3D
- select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'
- 3D Toolkit launches
- click in 'Scene Tree' panel
- right-click on top assembly name
- select 'Tools->Collapse Hierarchy'
- select 'File->Save'
- select 'File->Exit'

Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

Is there a way to edit a PDF file without converting it into a word document?

Then you posted in the wrong forum...
At any rate, you can use the Edit Text & Images tool (under Tools - Content Editing) to make changes to the file. You'll need to be a bit more specific about what you want to change if you want more detailed instructions.

Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.

Is there a way to import a .pdf and create a template in Pages?

Or is there some other application which would work to make this possible? It's a calendar which is in .pdf form, it's easy to read with Adobe Reader but I'd like to turn it into a template to personalize it.

It is very tricky to modify the content of PDF files. PDF is almost a one way street. You create or export to PDF, and that's it. Adobe Acrobat Professional is able to do some modifications, but not much.
Usually it is better to try to get the original file, which the PDF was created from or recreate it from scratch yourself.

Is there a way to send a pdf form with a place for a picture. The picture could be added from the photo gallery or tablet camera?

Is there a way to send a form to a field force that allows a picture to be added. The field person could add the picture from the tablet's photo gallery or take a photo with the camera?

We have encountered the same problem at our company, and the following thread help us to resolve our problem:

Error while saving a .PDF File to a mapped drive
"It has to do with Protected Mode being turned on. I don't know if it was off by default & now it is on with the update but turning it off changes Adobe Reader's behavior back to what the users expect - a prompt warning you if you want to overwrite the existing file & then selecting Yes to overwrite.
To disable Protected Mode:
Start Adobe Reader
Edit - Preferences - Security (Enhanced)
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
Close Preferences & Close Reader"
We unchecked the "Enable Protected Mode at startup" box --> Yes --> OK. Our users are happy now. ^_^

Is there a way to control Adobe PDF plugin from within a Web Application? For Example, Can we highlight text in the PDF/A document programatically?

Hi,
I am trying to open a PDF document in browser using Adobe PDF plug-in for IE 9. The plugin version is 10.x
I need to highlight certain text in the PDF document ( which is searchable) programmatically. For example, when a user selects certain text on the web-page, we want to automatically highlight that in the PDF document.

I don't think this is a question one can answer by simply downloading the SDK. And even if one reads all the documentation (it rarely happens for obvious reasons), it is not easy to reach an answer because its explanation is not trivial at all.
In my own opinion, this is right the type of question to be put and (hopefully) answered in a Forum.
Now, I am not sure about the correct answer but I will give one hint.
If I am not wrong, the Internet Explorer, IE, PDF viewer by Adobe is actually a .dll file which is put under IE once Adobe Reader is installed. A custom plug-in for Reader or Acrobat is also a .dll file (Windows) but its extension is .api and it needs to be copied under Reader or Acrobat (or both). Therefore, I don't see how we can merge the IE viewer .dll with a custom plug-in .api. Though maybe technically possible, I don't think it is something we can do.
If above reasoning is correct, the answer to the question is No.

Is there a way to correct Adobe PDF Portfolio - Preview Mode Displaying Incorrect Pages

Whether the portfolio is created in Acrobat X or XI, or viewed in X or XI, (and these are created as a grid) , the preview of the pdf shows pages of the previously viewed pdf within that portfolio. Acrobat and Flash is up to date.

Merge pdf form data to an ASP page via HTTP

I am using Adobe LiveCycle.
Using LiveCycle has anyone been able to collect data from a PDF form posted on their web page, submit via submit button, that data to an ASP page and use the ASP page to do record manipulation.
I have successfully created a PDF page and collected the data with JavaScript and updated the database. I'm looking for an alternative solution.

Warehouse that PDF on your own server, then link to it from your book.

Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
- Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

Hi ,
There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?

Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?
I used LiveCycle Designer to make a pdf form with many checkboxes. When I deleted a few of the checkboxes the rest left on the form renumbered themselves. This made my JavaScript out of sync since the JavaScript checkbox numbers did NOT update automatically. I am hoping there is a preference option to not auto update. I just cannot find it,

I believe you're using the same name for each checkbox, right?!
If so, each checkbox has an index number which represents its position relative to the other copies in the XML tree and when you add, delete or reorder the copies the index will always be recreated because thats the way how XML works.
There is no way to stop Designer from doing this, I'm afraid.
To address individual objects through JavaScript you should use unique names.

Is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded?

is there a way to prevent a PDF file from being forwarded? For example, im a personal trainer and if i send a client a plan via PDF file, i want to make sure that they cannot send it to anyone else. I read about how you can secure a file by creating an ID and then having the recipient create an ID as well, but i would like to make the orocess as easy as possible for my clients and not have to have them create an ID and then send it to me. is there a better way to block the recipient from resending the PDF?

Hi Kiana,
As such there is no option to prevent the recipients from forwarding the pdf. However you can refer to this blog How do I prevent someone from forwarding a PDF?, it might be of some help.

Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing your default printer?

With the recent Adobe update (current version Adobe Pro XI Pro (1637-0001) 11.0.00), there were some changes that have caused a program my company uses to distort all or part of a pdf once it has been imported. We have found a work around. However, the work around is now becoming time consuming with the amount of files we deal with on a daily basis. Is there a way to print a pdf to a pdf without changing the default printer to the Adobe printer? (this is our work around solution).
Thanks!

For what you are trying to do, probably not. You have to open Acrobat and go to the print menu to select the Adobe PDF printer if it is not the default. The only possibility that I can think of (you will have to try it to tell if that is the case) is to drag the PDF to the Adobe PDF printer and see if it prints. This used to work, but I just tried it in Win7 and it did not do the job.
