LifeCycle pdf Form Created - email button problem, windows rights

I am currently struggling to roll out a form that allows users to email their data back to a recipient. I have over come the common issues about the type of email button and enabling extended features. The problem I have falls down to Windows User Rights, if I am an administrator on the computer I can email the form without problems. But logged in as a normal user the button does nothing, no error, no indication.
The user are using adobe reader 9.3.
Thanks in advanced.

You might want to check the virus scan software and ensure that it will allow programmatic access to the mail client on the machine. We use McCaffee and here is the screen shot that shows the restrcition.

Why Lifecycle Designer ES4 crashing on a pdf form created in ES2

On HP Probook 4730s laptop with Windows 7, Designer ES4 keeps crashing on a pdf form created in ES2. Opening it in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and reader is fine. Installed the ES4 sp1 did not help. Other forms are fine. No special fields on the form except some basic textboxes, signatures, checkboxes, lines.
Any idea about how to fix this?
Thanks

Using PDFStreamDumper, I found this:
<form checksum="/I/bugqsY9MYw688CDeeueRfqaM=" xmlns="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-form/2.8/"
><subform name="form1"
><instanceManager name="_"

Note the same signature field has been defined multiple times. I'm not sure how this happened, but seems like a likely culprit. In the future, try to keep your forms as XDPs until you need to distribute them, then save them as PDFs. The XDP files are just text, and thus easier to fix if something goes wrong.

PDF form created in Idesign CS6 won't save data when filled out

Why can't users save data in fillable PDF form created in IndesignCS6
Hi
Please help I've tried every forum and tried everything you are my only hope ive created a Interative PDF form In indesign cs6 and when my clients fill it out it doesn't save the data, also ive put it online and again the same and the submit button doesnt work, ive tried the advanced save in Acrobat and still the same what am i doing wrong GUTTED

I designed in InDesign, exported as Interactive PDF, opened in Pro, saved with extended options.
I have both Pro XI and the most recent version of Reader. (Mac os x)
I actually used a template to design the form. Would this somehow be causing an issue??
Here's a link to the form-- (website is still being developed.)
http://media.wix.com/ugd/258c13_937630036a284d0ebfcccd8aa9169cf2.pdf
I've uploaded to the new website, and to Box, and the issue remains the same.
Thanks for your help!

Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer

Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Phil

Designer-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)?

How do I complete an electronic signature field in an Interactive PDF form (created in Indesign)? This form will serve as an employment application on a website. The goal is to have any person (interested in applying for a job via the Internet) access, complete and electronically sign the form upon submission.

Hi,
Via createPDF you would not be able to electronic sign the PDF form, you would either require Adobe Reader or purchase Adobe Acrobat to sign the PDF.
To download Adobe Reader

You can purchase Adobe Acrobat

Elementary Problem With Submitting A PDF Form Via Email?

Hello all!
I'm brand new to creating forms with Adobe. I have Acrobat X Pro. I have created a form with multiple fields to fill in and placed a button at the top of the form. Under button properties I selected the submit a form option under the actions tab and chose to email the entire pdf file. Where it says enter a URL for this link I put mailto: and my email address.
When I click on the submit button I choose the desktop application option as I use Outlook exchange. (that could be the problem?) I click on the ok button and immediately get a pop up box that says "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default client.
I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I'm creating the submit form improperly. My goal is to get an exact copy of the completed Adobe form emailed to the specified email address. Any help would be much appreciated!
Mike

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

Adding LifeCycle Reader Extensions to a PDF Form created in Acrobat Pro 6

HELP!!!!
I have already created a form in Acrobat PRO 6.0, but I am running into the issue where my clients who don't have Acrobat STD/PRO can not enter their data and then save the PDF form as a copy and email it back to me with the data included. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result, but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!? I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability, but I am tripping over my own feet trying to figure this out.
If anyone could provide some guidance...I would totally appreciate it. I am trying to get away from the paper piles (as i'm sure we all are) and it is such a tease to see the demo documents from the Adobe site actually do what I am trying to do!!! :)
Thanks in advance for any advice/guidance anyone can give.
Cheers!
-jon-

>. I understand that this LifeCycle Reader Extensions allows for such a result
That's correct.
>but I have not clue how to add this funtionality to my already created PDF?!?
LiveCycle Reader Extensions is a product. You buy it. Note that the
price is "on application" and varies with your company's needs, but is
typically either tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is to
offset the "lost sales" of Acrobat which people would otherwise have
to buy to save forms.
> I have downloaded the trial version Adobe LifeCycle Designer 7.1 (which appears to have full functionality for only 60 days)in hopes to just add this capability
There are many products with LiveCycle in the name from Adobe. That's
a different one.

Button to send filled out form as completed pdf form via email

I have created a form that when filled out, should send the form by email to the recipient as a completed pdf form. It works with Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
Any Ideas?
form can be found at: http://www.lcyc.ca/images/stories/macman2012/macmanentry.pdf

Check out:
http://www.nk-inc.com/macmanentry.pdf
Use your real name, and e-mail address in the PDF form fields, and recieve a customized email copy and response.
The script will parse and merge the XDP submission, so there's no need to Reader Enable your forms.
PDFEmail.net works in ASP.net web servers.
Note: Do not submit sensitive information, this is just a demo. I may get a BCC of the form.

Adobe Acrobat 9.0 - PDF form to email

I have created an employment application form that I would like to post on our website and have the applicants email back to us. Is it possible to with Adobe Acrobat 9.0 and the submit button? I have tried this but I think I am missing something. I have also created this in Lifecycle Designer but found that it will only email xml. We would like to receive the pdf itself if it is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Christine

The submit process would be more like "maito:name@domain". There are important "features" you need to be aware of.
1. For Reader users to submit the full form you must activate Reader Rights -- a potential problem if you expect the form use to exceed 500 over the years.
2. There is no need to submit the full form, but simply import the XML (then you developed the form in Designer and questions should really go to the LiveCycle forum in the future) in to the form on your end. The result will be the same as the full form.
3. E-mail is not a secure form of submission and included personal data on an e-mail submitted form may land you into some legal trouble eventually. I said may, not will -- but it is something to keep in mind.
4. E-mail capabilities vary with the client machine and may fail, making you appear as a fool even if it is a client problem.
5. Compatibility with prior versions of Reader and Acrobat is a good idea, since many folks do not upgrade to the latest version.
In general I would recommend submission to a web script (you will need some IT help there) with the XML format that you simply import to the form. Do not activate Reader Rights and simply allow the client to print the form for their records instead.

Acrobat Pro collapse after trying to adjust my pdf form created in Indesign 6

I want to change the font type in in pdf form which I created in Indesign, while attempting to do so, Acrobat Pro collapse and shut down....what's the problem?
Regards,
Marieke

When you fix it in Acrobat, what you want to do specifically is remove whatever action is present in the button and add a "Submit a form" action to the Mouse Up event. Specify that you want to submit the entire PDF and use the mailto URL you showed earlier, making sure there are no spaces.
For it to work in desktop versions of Reader prior to 11, you need to Reader-enabled the document by selecting: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools
The button won't work with the native iOS PDF viewer, but certain other PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader and Readdle's PDF Expert allow you to email a filled-in form and will support the button action.

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.

Trouble distributing PDF Form. Emailing fails

I have an PDF form I created and wish to distribute to my clients. Once filled out I would like them to return the complete form to me via email. When I choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to my recipients. I get an error "Failed to send the form to recipients" I am stymied. I cannot figure out why I can launch this feature.
I have ask clients to complete the form and try to attach it to an email, but that defeats the whole procedure, generally confusing my client.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Someone suggested I upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat. That seems to suggest that the feature does not work in Acrobat 9 which I believe is incorrect.
Any Help is appreciated.

It's not clear to me where the problem is. Is it when you try to send the form to recipients, or when they try to click the Submit button to send the form back to you? It certainly can work with a form created in Acrobat 9, but it may not work with certain email clients. You may find that a good number of users don't even have an email client set up, and many may use a web-based email client (e.g., gmail and the like). If it doesn't work, manually attaching the document to an email is the workaround. Such is the nature of an email-based workflow.
Some users may be using something other than Acrobat/Reader to interact with the form, such as the Preview application on the Mac, which also will not work. The Preview application actually corrupts PDF forms in a number of ways and it doesn not support JavaScript or digital signatures. When you get such a corrupted form back, text (and other) fields will appear to be blank. For more information on this, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html
