Once you create a printable form in Acrobat Pro 9, how do you add a submit button?

I have created printable PDF forms, but don't know how to add a submit button so they can be filled out and emailed. Currently if the people filling them out only have Reader they can only be printed out. They cannot be saved, and they cannot be emailed. Can the submit functionality be added in Adobe Acrobat Pro, or do you have to do that with a third party software?

Yes, you can use the Extend Features in Adobe Reader, shown here but grayed out since I don't have a form open.
When you do that, the people filling out the form will be able to Save a copy of the form for themselves and to forward a copy of the PDF to you. You might want to make a copy of the form first if you might have to make changes in the future since the Extended form cannot be edited directly.

How do I add a submit button to a pdf form?

hello
I am trying to add a submit button to a pdf form... is this possible though forms central or Acrobat Pro?

If it is a PDF you created with FormsCentral, then yes, it should have a Submit button. See this for more info: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/create-fillable-pdf-form.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/create-forms-locally-save-them.html
If it's a fillable form created with Acrobat Pro, and you want to collect data with FormsCentral, then you import that existing PDF file into FormsCentral and add a Submit button to the form: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/formscentral/help/navigate-formscentral.html#import_exi sting_fillable_pdf_forms
I hope that helps,

How do i add a submit button to a form

ho do i add a submit button to a form.

Hi;
If you are using the FormsCenral website to create a form it will have a submit button by default for the HTML (web) form and also by default it you are saving as PDF (there is an option to create a PDF without Submit, but by default it does submit to FormsCentral).
If you are using the FormsCentral desktop application that is bundled with Acrobat XI you would have to sign into the service to create forms with Submit buttons. You can also create a form without submit button in FormsCentral Desktop and then edit the form in Acrobat XI adding a submit button using your preferred submit method such as by email.
Let me know if you need more information on either of these, it will be easier to assist knowing more about what you are using.
Thanks,
Josh
PS - if this is a question about adding a submit button in Acrobat not related to FormsCentral your question would be best asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

Creating an interactive form in Acrobat Pro 9.5.5

Can anyone advise if what I am planning is possible given the version I am using. I am using a Mac.
I am trying to create a briefing form for a design studio that will allow people requesting artwork to enter the relevant information (dates, page count etc.) and then for the form to calculate the number of days that it will take and the cost (based on a daily rate x number of days).
The form will initally be produced in InDesign CS5 and exported as a PDF and then edited in Acrobat Pro 9.5. Essentially, the form needs to be able to calculate date ranges (i.e. number of work days between two dates) and then calculate prices based on a daily work rate (which would be hidden to the user). I would also need it to calculate totals say based on the following example:
1-2 page document - allow ten days.
For every additional 2 pages add a day
"Is photography required?" If yes, add a day for up to 5 photos. etc.
Before I even attempt this, I need to know if it is even possible given the version I am using. If not, I will explore doing it in Excel, but I would far prefer using Acrobat.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's possible to do the calculations using JavaScript. The hardest part may be determining what's a working day and what's not. If it's certain days of the week (Mon-Fri) it's not too much of a problem, but it can get complicated if you have to contend with holidays or other irregular non-work days.

Acrobat Pro Extended - how can I add links to 3D-objects?

Hi there,
I'm using Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0 and I would like to attach links to different filetypes to a 3D-object in a 3D-PDF. I tried to use the link-tool but it seems like that only works for 2D-PDF. Also in the 3D-Reviewer I haven't found a way yet to make it work.
Thanks
what eva

It's possible, but not in the simple tools-based way.
The "easiest" way is to add a Javascript to the 3D annotation which hooks the mouse event, scans the event.hits array and reacts based on the contents. If a mesh object is clicked the hits array will contain the mesh name in position 0 (then everything behind it in order). Your only issues arise when you want the "normal" clicking action to work as well (for selecting nodes, etc.), in which case you have to ensure your script passes the events about.
Many of the example files on the acrobatusers.com 3D gallery use that principle, and there are also some in the adobe.com section on 3D Javascript. The idea of a '3D linking tool' is a loooong way off - the way 3D is handled by Acrobat isn't set up to understand things at that level - the UI sees the 3D model as nothing but a black box that can be shouted at.

Acrobat Pro X: How do I add reviewers?

I already went through the "send for shared review" process, with the file in a network folder, but need to add more reviewers. Do I just forward the email it created for the original reviewers to the new reviewers? I don't see a way to add reviewers from within Acrobat.
Thanks in advance...

You can add reviewers in Acrobat from Tracker with the following steps:
1. Open Tracker(from View menu).
2. Under Reviews->Sent node on Left hand panel, Click on the review for which you want to add the reviewers.
3. Right hand panel shows the details of that review and options to Add reviewer/Change deadline/End Review etc. Click on the Add Reviewers Option to add reviewers
Or Right clikcing on the review at step 2 also, shows an option for Add reviewers under contextual menu.

Acrobat Pro 11 - how do I add more review servers?

I have reviews in progress, so I do not want to remove the present server. I need to add at least one more server, but I don't see any way to do this, I only see a way to remove servers. What is the procedure for adding servers (this is not in the user manual), and how many can I add?
Thanks

Creating Forms in Acrobat Pro

I have created a form in Acrobat Pro. I want to be able to email it out to my clients, have them fill it out, save it and email it back to me.
I've got the form created. I looks great and works well if you've got ACrobat Pro. But all my clients just have reader.
They can't fill out the form and email it back. I get a lot of errors saying that their version of Acrobat can only save a blank copy.
What can I do to fix this? I really need them to be able to fill out this form and email it back to me.
Thanks.
-DRW

Really. Have to say that's kind of irritating.
Not really sure what Adobe is trying to accomplish with that. I have Acrobat Pro, all my clients have Reader... what's the big deal? Why 500? why not 600 or 510?
There are too many rules to keep up with... I'm moving to Canada. They are less strict up there... lol.
Thanks for the heads up. It'll be years before I reach the 500 uses. Maybe by then Adobe won't care.

Acrobat Professional 8 - How do you open XML sent from an online form?

Hello,
I have a simple question.
How does and end user with the latest Adobe Reader, open up XML data that was emailed to them from an online website form?
Is there a better way of going about this? For example, is it possible to create an online form through (Acrobat Professional and LiveCycle) that will allow the end user to save the PDF to their desktop (with the data nested in the fields) and then email off to the recipient of the form?
Thanks in advance for tips and suggestions.
Regards,
Jim

Hello Aandi,
Yes, I now have the latest Adobe Reader and I believe there are add-ons that can be obtained, but I think you are right, there is no way to import the XML data from a form into the PDF using the Reader. But, I think there is a way to save the original PDF, so that the end user can now save the PDF locally (using the Reader) with data entered into the form. Then, the form can be emailed back to the originator. I think it has something to do with usage right settings in LiveCycle/Acrobat Professional.
Anyway, thanks for your reply. It is appreciated.

Reader Extending Designer Form in Acrobat Pro 8

Dear All,
Last year I managed to put together an organisational survey where users fill in a form created in Designer 7.0 and then hit a submit button which spits all entered data out to an MS Database. It worked great.
I reader extended this survey to work on adobe reader 7.0 as that was what was installed on most of the client machines at the time.
Now I am revising the survey for 2008 but running into a problem which has just about got the better of me.
No matter what I do, running the reader extended form in adobe reader ver x.x does not submit the entered data to the database. Yet if I run it in Acrobat Pro or the preview tab through Designer, it works fine.
For simplicity, I have created a test form.
It only has a text field which is linked to a field within an MS database. The MS database only has 1 field.
The form then has a submit button which contains the following java code for the click event.
xfa.sourceSet.test.update();
xfa.sourceSet.test.close();
app.alert("Worked!!!!");
Another button (which is set to invisible) contains the following java code
xfa.sourceSet.test.open();
xfa.sourceSet.test.addNew();
which is triggered on the initialize event.
All works fine until I have to open the form in Acrobat Pro 8 to reader extend it. The saved reader extended version when opened in any reader version, does nothing when clicking the submit button. Yet I know it has been successfully reader extended because when opening in reader 7.0 it says you can save data entered in this form.
I have tried with Designer 7.0 but same thing.
When I open the form I created in early 2007 in Reader 7.0 and it works I sit mystified and say "How?"
The issue is definetly with the reader extending.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated as I have exhausted all avenues I can think of.
Thanking You in advance.
Daniel

Acrobat 8 Professional includes LiveCycle Designer 8, so if the form was created with LiveCycle Designer 8 or older, the yes should have the option to edit the form. Acrobat 8 Professional under the menu option 'Forms' will have an option to open the form in LiveCycle Designer. If the form was created with a newer version, there could be some issues with newer features not available in version 8.

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat Pro XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.
