Issues submitting form with Reader X

I am using Adobe Reader X on a Mac and the program will not allow me to submit the form. When I click on the submit button, a message pops up that says this operation is not permitted. If I open the form in an older version of Reader, it works correctly. Why won't X work? Is there a way to fix it?

Some questions:
1. Is it a secured form with some printing restrictions? You can check this from the document properties under the Security tab.
2. Is it happening with all the forms or some particular ones?
3. Some specific detaills like printer/ OS etc might be helpful.

Submitting form with attachments.

Hi,
I have a simple need. I am stucked in it. What i need to do is:
Step 1: User1 starts opens a pdf form inside LC Workspace, fill it, attach files (Reader Extended) and then submit it.
Step 2: User2 receives the filled form with attcachments. Can view attachments and save them in repository.
I am stucked at step 1. User is able to fill the form, add attachments but can't submit it. If I am not enabling the Reader Extensions for attachments (Disabling functionality to attach files) then it works fine. But when using with attachments option, it fails. It gives no error, no message and does not passed to the 2nd user.
Is there any special requirement in developing such process/form ??
Please help me out on it.

I've studied the HTML generated by UIX and it has following bugs and misfeatures:
1. Misfeature: Submitting with Enter works ONLY if there is exactly one text field in the form (no submit button is actually needed), as Brian Stoler wrote. I don't understand reason for this.
2. Bug: UIX generates javascript function "_submitOnEnter" which is called as event handler for "onKeyPress" event. But this function is erroneously generated multiple times, once for each form in the page. Browsers (Mozilla and IE) use the latest implementation. This function is different for forms with one text field and for forms with more text field, but only the first one can do the job. As a consequence of this, Enter can submit the form only if the last form on a page has single text field (which is for example not the case of search form with single field above another form...)
Tested with UIX 2.1.7 in JDeveloper 9.0.3.3, using UIX as JSP tag library.
Workaround:
1. Use Opera browser: it submits form with enter key even if there is no submit button (this does not work for the first text field in the form, because it has "onkeypress" event handler).
2. Implement this feature by hand yourself, if you really need it (see below).
3. Use accessKey: allows to submit form with Alt+<key> combination (followed by Enter with IE).
Implementing Enter key submits with Javascript:
1. Put the following function to the header (or to javascript library):
function enter(e, frm) {
var kc;
if(window.event) kc=window.event.keyCode;
else if(e) kc=e.which;
else return true;
if(kc==13) {
submitForm(frm,1);
return false;
Function copied from UIX (C).
2. Add this event handler to each input element:
onKeyPress="return enter(event, 'formName');"
It is obvious that this is error prone, but it works with all browsers...
Will this be fixed in future versions?
Why only form with one text field can be submitted?

Submitting form with Enter key

Hello,
in standard html form, when you have form with submit button, the enter key when any form element is selected submits the form.
This is very convenient for users, so I want this with UIX forms. I know it is possible (I have one form where it is working), but I can't get it working anywhere else.
This code works:
<uix:form method="post" name="newRoleForm">
<uix:inlineMessage prompt="Role name">
<uix:textInput name="newRoleName" />
<uix:spacer width="15" />
<uix:submitButton text="Create" formName="newRoleForm" />
</uix:inlineMessage>
<uix:formValue name="jboEvent" value="newRole" />
</uix:form>
When I copy this code to another page, it does not work...
Can somebody help, please?

Do I gee a copy of submitted forms with the free account?

Do I gee a copy of submitted forms with the free account?

Hi;
Using the Free account you can view the submitted data and export it to Excel, PDF or CSV (the data is in a table format).
Email Notifications, where an email comes to you each time someone submits the form is a paid level feature. Another Paid level feature is "Download Response as PDF" which allows you to save/download a PDF version of the filled out form that looks like the original.
Thanks,

Issue opening PDF with Reader 11

Hi there,
I have a form which I created to be a Form Builder.
It's a form with a dialog prompt message at the beginning which asks different questions to build the form according to the options chosen..
Once this is done, the form needs to be saved (the form is reader extensions) and a message prompt the users to be alerted that once the form is saved it cannot be modified afterwards.
Then the form is sent by e-mail or uploaded on a server to be downloaded by a end-user...
Some of the users seems to encounter an issue with Adobe Reader XI which actually resets the form to its initial template. Though all the options are still chosen and the form still works well..
But the button to modify the form is set back to visible and the reset data is hidden which is the issue here...
The end-user isn't suppose to be able to see modify form but can only reset data to default settings accordingly to the options chosen..
This seems to happend only to Adobe Reader 11... does anyone know what could be the issue? If there's a way I could fix this..
My forms are created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 9.0.0.2 and I have Adobe Reader X & Adobe Acrobat Pro X
Any Help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks for the hint!
I give it a shot, hoping it will work... Unfortunately I can't test it myself because I can't repeat the issue myself.
So once I get some news I'll give an update on this discussion if it's the right answer!
I've tried 4 different things and have given 4 different forms hoping one of these forms will have the right solution!

Submitting Form with MySLQ database...

I need to set my form through a MySLQ database but I don't
know how. My host sent me this Formmail:
http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/formmail_doc.php
(download:
http://www.dtheatre.com/scripts/formmail_files/formmail.v50.zip
I saved it in my website root folder but I don't know how to
set the php form with my html form. ...There is a demo included,
but doesn't help.
Please help me!!
Thanks in advance!!

Form mail scripts send form contents via email. It sounds
like you want to just insert data from the form into a database.
Just use the build in DW Insert Record behavior.

Can I realistically test a form with Reader if I also have Acrobat pro on my machine?

I have both Reader X and Acrobat Pro X on my machine. I create forms using Adobe Acrobat pro. My clients (who typically only have Reader) later fill out these forms and save them.
Once or twice customers been unable to save the forms and I've had to recreate them. I don't know what the error was, but my 2nd forms worked fine. However, I don't want to present non-working forms!
If I test my forms using Reader, is Acrobat Pro out of the picture completely? That is, can I count on the test being realistic, or does my installation of Acrobat talk secretly to my installation of Reader and enable me to do more than I could do if I only had Reader (like my customers)?
Thanks!

Yes, I have tested on "clean" machines and on my machine a couple of
times. But I wanted more info--because even if the forms test well on one
occasion, or two, or 5, it could just be that those forms lacked the
problem but the form would still fail on the next test. (Like the black
swan problem from my biology days.) And we who create the forms would
like to be able to test them with Reader on our own machines.
I'm going to take as a working hypothesis that two gurus and a few tests
are enough evidence. If everyone is wrong (I see your eyes roll), we'll
find out eventually. At any rate, I'm convinced enough to proceed. Again,
many thanks for your help.

Problems submitting form with Adobe Reader X?

Our agency created a PDF fillable form, and recently three respondants using Adobe Reader X (on PCs) have contacted us to say that the submit button is not working and they are unable to save the contents of the form to a file on their computer. The Forms Central Forum had said Adobe 8.0 or higher would support the fillable form, so we are surprised to be running into this. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found the solution? Is there a step we are missing? Thank you!

@melissasnider : make sure that the form filler are using Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or Acrobat Mobile to fill up the form. Any other PDF viewers doesn't support the submission functionality. More information can be found here : http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653.
Hope this helps

Bug submitting form with SpryUtils.submitForm

You can view this problem here:
http://www.bachelorsguide.ca/spry16Ajaxsubmit.html
In the SpryUtils.js file I have changed the final "return:
false;" to "return: true;" as I want the form to submit to the
defined action of the form after doing the ajax submit.
This works in IE... it submits the ajax hit with all the form
variables then submits to the a third party payment page with all
the form variables.
In FireFox it submits the ajax post but doesn't seem to be
passing the form variables with that submit, then it posts the form
to the thrid party and all the form variables are passed for that
hit.
The issue seems to be that the form variables are not
submitted with the Ajax post when using FF but are submitted when
using IE7.
When I leave the final "return: false;" then the Ajax hit
DOES work in FireFox... only when I change it to true; that FireFox
stops working...
Please help

Diana,
The line you gave me was giving me syntax error.
i played with it and found that if I removed all references
to any return that it worked.
So I this right now......
onsubmit="Spry.Utils.submitForm('order_form',
'',{method:'post', url:'modpython/index.py?aoi=true',
async:false});
No returns, and the Utils file has the original code with the
return false at the end.
I don't know what the syntax issue was but it is working in
Safari, IE7 and FF and I want to give you a big kiss!
Ok sorry for being inappropriate but I am extremely happy.
Thanks Diana so much... if you ever have DB issues let me
know. I owe you.

Issue submitting forms

Hello everyone. We have our PDF form and are having issues with everyone being able to submit it from our website. The link is http://qualitystaffingsolution.com/test-pdf/
But after submitting it, one of our programmers can get his to go through on almost every browser but many other people who have tried it, upon clicking submit, the form does not show up in our forms central database.
Can anyone help, offer advice or have any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi;
PDF in a web browser is problematic and we recommend against having the PDF set to open in the browser, we recommend that you have users download the PDF and use Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF.
The problem in a browser is that you don't know what viewer may be used to view/fill the PDF and if it is not Adobe Reader it will not work.
I would recommend you post the PDF for download and alert users that they should use Adobe Reader/Acrobat to fill and submit.
Thanks,
Josh

Issues Opening PDFs with Reader 10.1.5

Since upgrade to Adobe Reader 10.1.5 our users have had problems opening PDF files. Most times it takes at least 5-6 attempts at trying to open the file and sometimes it just never opens. It doesn't matter if the PDF is in an email, local, on the network or on the Internet.
For now, I have put them back on 10.1.4 with no issues. Any ideas if this is a known issue with 10.1.5 and if there will be a patch released soon?
Windows 7
Thanks!

I am having a similar problem and was wondering if there is an update yet. I am running Windows 7 and Acrobat 9 Pro. I can open local PDFs in Acrobat. If I am in IE links for PDFs open in Acrobat, however, in Chrome PDFs don't open and I usually, eventually get this message:
Also, when I tried to open Reader, I got a few messages that went by quickly that couldn't capture, but one said something like "looking for updates." Then nothing opened. However, when I opened Task Manager, I saw several processes for AcroRd32.exe *32.
This has been going on for a couple of weeks and previously I have rebooted and this has sometimes fixed the problem. But this doesn't seem to work anymore. A couple of days ago I rebooted and was able to open Reader and run repair. It appear to fix the problem, but now it's back again and this time I am not even able to open Reader to run repair again.
If there is no response in the short term, I will uninstall and reinstall to see if it corrects. If that doesn't work I will see if I can install an earlier version.

Submitting form with multiple records.

Can any one help me how to implement following functionality.
I have page flow portlet which renders list of 10 records. I need to display record name, record number and one check box for every record. User can select some of the records and add those to one group. I am able to disply the list successfuly by using <netui:repeater> tag. Problem is coming when i select some of the records and click on submit. It is not updating coresponding form bean. My form bean is as following.
public static class RecordsListBean extends FormData{
private String userId;
private List recordList;
setters and getter for above properties
recordlist contains list of RecordBean. RecordBean class having two properties record name , record number , isSelected (boolean) and coresponding setters and getters.
When i try to submit the form i am getting errors something like unable to edit actionForm.recordList[0].isSelected value for all records.
Can anyone help me why i am getting this? and let me know if you know best practise method to implemet this.
Thanks.

Hi
I saw one weird issue with WLP 10.3. I have a form bean with one instance variable named as "iClassCard". I have setters and getters. In JSP I use this form object. When I put a netui:text field and assing the datasource value, when I type actionForm. it shows the list of all instance variables. Weird thing is it shows my instance varialbe with uppercase "i" like IClassCard instead of "iClassCard". If I forcefully change this to like datasource=actionForm.iClassCard, it shows yellow line waring saying variable not defined. To fix this I just changed my instance variable in form bean to uppercase like IClassCard. Or worstcase just do not use "i" as the beginning character for any instance variable. So give a try renaming the variable isSelected on your side and see if this works.
Coming to your usecase you can use List type and netui-data:repeater tag. Make sure that incase if you use netui:anchor tags to sumbit the form ations, please do add formSubmit="true" something like <netui:Anchor formSubmit="true" action="yourActionName" ...>. If you do not set formSubmit = "true", the List will not be updated with the user entered values when you view on pageflow side in that submit action method.
Thanks

Submitting form with 'jump menu' and PHP?

I have a form that can reveal one of two question sets,
depending on the
setting of a drop-down list, e.g.,
<select>
<option>Set 1</option>
<option>Set 2</option>
</select>
Up to this stage in the development of this page, I have
solved this
requirement by using an onchange event in the <select>
tag to submit the
form to itself. The PHP code in the head of the page
evaluates the set
selected, and then writes the page containing the 'selected'
fields (either
set1 or set2).
But now, I also need to submit this form's data to the
processing page! So,
there are two competing functions here -
1. Deciding which field set to display
2. Processing the filled in fields by submitting the form to
a second
process page
How can I get these two together on the same form?
Or should I just use two separate form pages, and a
javascript jump menu?

Does it make any difference if you are editing an interactive form with Reader or Pro?

My document has extended features, if you open this in Reader or Pro does it work the same?

For the most part.
If it is enabled, Reader users will be able to fill in form fields, add comments then save when finished. But they won't be able to add form fields or do any other editing that Acrobat can do.

Master-Detail Forms with read-only data in Master

I have a Master-Detail form created in Portal in which the master has fields that have select access (this has corporate bio/demo data) with the detail section having full access (local data).
When I go to create the form, it will not compile since it generate a DELETE code on master records.
The view I have has a master corporate record with people in depts adding detail records.
I am running Portal 3.0.9.

Hi,
This is a bug. The only workaround would be is to write your own custom event and write your own code to do all that is done in onsave.
Thanks,
