PDF form online but when submitted via email, received as XML

I'm trying to include a pdf form, created in Designer, on my website where guests can fill out the form and then hit the submit button and the form is emailed to me. Currently, I am linking to the form like it is another web page.
When the form is emailed to me, it is in the XML format. Once the file is opened, it gives me instructions on how to view it. It says to open the original pdf form and somehow place the xml data into it. Isn't there an easier way?
I would like to receive the "filled out" form as a pdf via email so I can just open it up with reader and print it. Others, that are more technically challenged will be receiving the "filled out" form also. The easier the better. thanks in advance

Rename or change PDF attachment when submitting via email

Hi everybody,
I have successfully created a form using LC 8.2.1 and I am able to submit it by email.
My only problem is that I want to change or rename the attached PDF file before submitting it as it gets named automatically by the program. And I don't want it to be renamed automatically.
Is there a way to do this?
I have managed to customize the email subject and the body, but I'm failing to get the attached file renamed. I use the following code to customize both the email subject and the body:
Button1.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Testing Form 2";
Thank you very much

Skydiver119 makes a very good point. The built in PDF reader and the iBooks app will not read fillable form fields in a PDF, so you need a third party app for those types of PDF files. I use Adobe Reader for PDf files. It is free, it allows for annotation, you can create folders, highlighting, form fields, adding a signature, renaming, etc. It's a great app and certainly worth a look.

Questions about using a PDF form online

I have a client who wants to create an online version of a PDF form that they are currently using. I am currently trying to explain to them that this would be best done as an HTML web form, but I may not win this argument. I have only used PDFs for printed forms (either hand-written or using form fields) so I am not familiar with any problems that converting the form for use online would entail.
When the 'Submit' button is pressed on the form, is there a way to redirect to another web page after the data is submitted? (i.e. does the PDF have access to it's outer 'environment'?)
Are there any security issues submitting data using the PDF form as opposed to using a standard web form? (There may be sensitive data being submitted)
I'm not sure how they plan to handle the data that is submitted, but there are several options in the submitForm parameters - I am assuming that using the HTML option would submit the data in the same format as a web form would. Am I correct here?
Can the PDF be prevented from being downloaded or printed? This form should only be used to submit data to their server, not as a printed form.
Are there any other 'gotchas' that I need to look out for? Does anyone have a recommendation for a site which contains any tutorials or guidelines for using PDF forms online?

Thanks for the information.
Yes, I agree that there is less reason for it to be a PDF form (Actually, no real reason other than the original form already exists in PDF), but I am unfortunately in the position that my input in this project is not necessarily being considered (my company is following direct -and inconsistent- directions from the client, and I have no contact with the client to ask questions about what their actual needs are). I have been told to give the client the 'Tomato' that they are asking for, even though they are describing an 'Apple'.
The reason this form is not meant to be printed is that we have replaced the 'Signature' fields from the original form with checkboxes that the user must check to confirm they have 'signed' the document. If they are to print/fax/whatever the document, they should use the original form, not this one. And I am still trying to explain to them that this would be better served with an HTML web form, but I fear I am losing that battle.
I have brought up the fact that it is not 100% guaranteed that Acrobat will be available in the browser, although I can only guess that it is less than likely that anyone will not have some sort of PDF viewer available to their browser.
I will also mention that issues may arise if the file is not submitted from within the browser.

My email account in Mail.app is IMAP, but when I delete emails, they don't delete from other devices connected to the mail server with IMAP. Deleted mail on other devices delete as normal from the server and thus from other devices as normal.

MacBook Pro, late 2011 version. Up to date Mountain Lion.
My email account in the Mail.app is set up as IMAP, but when I delete emails in the Mac Mail App, they are not deleted from the mail clients of the other devices that are connected to the mail server with IMAP. IMAP works perfectly between Windows Outlook 2010, iPad Mail App and Android default mail client. Deleted messages behave correctly, as in delete from one device and the mail is deleted from all devices.
Having just tested in reverse order on the Mac; emails deleted from the email client on Windows, iPad and Android are not deleted in the Mac Mail App. It appears that the account is behaving like POP rather than IMAP.
Any advice on how to have IMAP work correctly on the MacBook Pro Mail.app?
Thank you.

Hi Csound1, thanks. The email host is 1and1.co.uk, however, i am going to fess up and make myself look like a plonker now -
the email account in question was set up in Outlook as POP - stupid, stupid, stupid me, wasted an afternoon on this! I have now changed the Outlook account to IMAP and Mail.app works perfectly - and looks much nicer than Outlook did. Im in the middle of converting from Windows to a Mac, and still finding my way around the Mac
The lesson learned, never assume - always double check! All my other email addresses with 1and1 are all imap, except this one, and it happened to be the first one I set up in the Mail.app. (bows head in disgrace!)
Thank you anyway for attempting to help me!
Cheers

Keeping PDF form format when sending via email

Hello, I have created a form using Adobe LiveCycle. It contains a submit button to send the filled out form to a recipient via email. After numerous draft attempts the form gets converted into an .XML format when it is attached to a new email message. I want the form to stay as a PDF but LiveCycle indicates the form would need to be sent to an HTTP address. I don't have such an address.
Is there some way to force the form to keep its PDF format and be sent via email by the push of a button?
(I know that you can click File--attach to Email to but I would like to avoid that method). Thank you.

Q: Is there some way to force the form to keep its PDF format and be sent via email by the push of a button?
A #1: Yes, you can use the standard button, set the format to "PDF" and supply the mailto:[email protected] and it will use the client side email software to attach and send the PDF. Note: You will need to enable usage rights on the PDF to allow Adobe Reader users to submit whole PDF format. Normally Adobe Reader users are only allowed to submit the data formats, XML and XDP for LiveCycle forms, and HTML, XFDF and FDF for Acroforms.
A #2: You can also bypass client-side email software such as OUTLOOK, if you set the submit button action to a URL of a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.Net. The script could generate an SMTP message, and attach the submission without the use of client-side email software. By using a server-side script, the PDF submission process is almost fool proof.

How do I lock layers in a fillable pdf when sending via email?

Hi,
I created a form with several layers. When you click SUBMIT to MANAGER I have it submiting to the manager, but only the text boxs stay visible and not the text in the layer. Is there any way to lock the visible layer when submitting?

How about if the form was created in Adobe but was Reader enabled to be used by clients that have reader? Is there a script I can run on my submit button that locks the layers? My text fields and check boxes stay but the layered text disapears

Printing a fillable .pdf originally created in Forms Central, but not submitted properly?

HELP!
I created a scholarship application for High School Seniors, but most of them found the submit button didn't work for them, so they just saved and attached the fillable .pdf to an e-mail. So, now I have these .pdf files that because they were created in Forms Central, cannot be uploaded to Forms Central for data manipulation. Also, it seems I an unable to easily print these files with the filled sections visible. I also tried converting them to .docx and .xlsx, but the filled data didn't convert. I need to distribute these applications to my committee somehow for voting! If I can't print them, nor can I distribute them through Forms Central... what can I do???

This FAQ explains why the Submit button may not work.

They need to be filled out using Adobe Reader. The students filled them out with a PDF Reader that doesn't properly support PDF forms.
Do you have Adobe Acrobat? If you open those forms in Adobe Acrobat and do a save as it will fix the issue.

When I send my document/form that I have created via email, it is blank???? Why?

A graphic designer set up a form for me to use as a Statement to send my customers. I am able to make changes to this form using Adobe Reader but when I either try to save the edited form or send, it is blank. I am obviously not doing something right but I am new to Adobe and I cannot figure it out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First thing is, be absolutely sure you are using Adobe Reader to fill in the form. It looks like you may have used Mac Preview to do it and that breaks the forms.

Form appears blank when submitted

I recently ran into an issue with a form newly created in Adobe Livecycle where the data from each of the form fields is erased when the user submits the form via email (as a pdf). The form itself is quite simple with 7 text fields, 2 date fields, and a button to submit the form via desktop email application. There is no JavaScript or FormCalc scripting.
I am using Adobe Licecyle Designer ES 8.2 on Windows 7. I have created several of these forms in the past with no such issues. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Brandon

The problem is due to data binding. None of your fields have data bindings. So when you submit the form it becomes blank. So you can change the data bindings as below.
Select the field > Object Palette > Binding > Data Binding > Select Use Name. For example : If the name of the field is Description then data binding would be Use name (Description).
I could have posted the form but some security restrictions here preventing me doing the same.
Thanks,
Bibhu.

Document Signatures and Submiting via email

Hi,
My issue involves submitting an email and populating a document signature.
Using javascript I've set the preSubmit field to have the following line of code:
Page1.SignatureField1.validate.nullTest = "error";
I've enabled in Acrobat Professional 8, Enable Usage Rights.
While testing the form, when I select Submit by Email I get the error saying that "At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing."
All well and good as this is what I want to occur.
The problem is once I sign the the document (which is the field that I've set to be validated in the above code), then click submit via email again I still get the above error message.
I tested this with the other objects such as text fields etc, they all work fine. The problem only occurs while trying to use a document signature field.
What am I doing wrong?

You need to remember the password, Adobe software does not offer any back door or password recovery for the creator.
It is recommended that, when setting certain things for a PDF, you keep the "before" file carefully as well as the "after". These things include security, reader extensions and signatures - all things that can be impossible to undo.

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work
