PDF submit form with denial button trouble

Hello all. I have researched a ton and found out how to have a submit button, via the fake email button, reading a field and incorporating that in the subject line. The next thing I need to do is to have a denial button that creates a new email and sends it to an email address input on the form from the user with the subject line reading "Denied Turn in Request" and the pdf attached. I thought that it would the same as the submit button but I can't get it to work at all.
The flow of the pdf document is:
User has document on their computer
Fill it out and click submit button
Emailed to my office
If denial is needed click denial button
pdf document is emailed to the email address on the form
wash, rinse, repeat.
Any help is appreciated. My network will not allow me to upload the document at work. I will once I get home.

If you are using the fake submit button approach you shoudl be able to modify the email parameters (through script) when the user
hits the denial button and then hit the email button programmatically of course. This is no different than what you are already doing.

Use the same form with different button turned on in different calls

Can I use the same form with different buttons turned on in different calls?
Thanks!

This is to avoid piracy. What could happen is, people could buy music, and give it away for free online. Usually it is then you buy a complete album off iTunes that it will only be available on one device. It is tied to that account, and the device must be registered to that account to listen to it.

I want to build a form with radio buttons to limited clients ticking every option.

I want to build a form with radio buttons to limited clients ticking every option. I have a range of products and in order to quote accurately I want to get specific information.

If I get this , you want to show form options to specific clients not to all site viewers ?
You would need to create a secure zone for this where permitted viewers can login and view the form with all options , in form itself we cannot setup this as few customers will view other options and others will view a different one.
This can be done from your hosting end. Or if you are using Adobe server for hosting then you can create some profiles for customers and then setup a separate form altogether to achieve this.
Thanks,

1 form with 2 buttons to go to 2 different pages

Hi. I have 1 form I'm using on a page for adding some information. I have an Add button at the bottom that goes to an action page that inserts the data into an Access Database and displays what was inserted. I want to use the same form, but I want to have another button that goes to a different page, but still inserts the data into the database. How do I do this? Below is what I have for the beginning of the form and the button I click on to add it to the database. I won't put all the stuff inside the form so I keep this concise.
<cfform name="AddECNumber" action="add_new_ec_number_action.cfm" method="post">
<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="verify();">

BKBK,
     Thank you. This works great! I do have one more question though, now. Once the 2nd button is clicked, I would like it to go to an existing page I already have set up. This page is called "add_item_existing_eco.cfm". Normally, to get to this page, the user would have clicked a link to get here. Then this page just adds an item to the ECO.
     But now, I want the page with the form I talked about above to go to this page also, once the form is submitted. So I could add the Inserting code to the "add_item_existing_eco.cfm" page and display the info, but how am I going to prevent the info. from when a link is clicked, to not insert more data.
    I would need an If Statement that says if the "Add new Item Button" was clicked from the Add ECO page, then just insert the data and display the info. Elseif the info. came from a link, then just display the data. How can I say If the "Add new Item Button" was clicked from the Add ECO page? Does this make sense? Or should I just create a new page for when this "Add new Item Button" is clicked?
Yes, the question is clear. There are 2 possible scenarios:
1) From now onwards, an insert will only be done by means of the form button. Coming to the action page by means of a link will no longer lead to an insert.
Form page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function verify()
   document.myform.action ="add_new_ec_number_action.cfm";
   document.myform.submit();
function sendIt()
   document.myform.action ="add_item_existing_eco.cfm";
   document.myform.submit();
</script>
<cfform name="myform" method="post">
<cfinput type="text" name="txt"><br>
<cfinput type="button" name="submitBtn" onclick="verify()" value="Add"><br>
<cfinput type="button" name="submitBtn" onclick="sendIt()" value="Insert">
<cfinput type="hidden" name="isUpdated" value="yes">
</cfform>
Page add_item_existing_eco.cfm:
<cfif isDefined("form.isUpdated") and form.isUpdated>

</cfif>

2) An insert can be triggered by the link or by the form-button, which ever arrived first at the page dd_item_existing_eco.cfm.
I do believe the best solution in this scenario is to use the database. Start, for example, by determining which column in the database table can be used to verify that an insert has occurred. A datetime column is ideal for this purpose.
Then add a query, like the following, to verify whether an insert has already occurred in a specific time.

<cfquery name="verifyInsert" datasource="myDSN">
    select count(*) as numberOfInserts
    from myTBL
    where doneDate > #createODBCDatetime(dateAdd("h",-6,now()))#
</cfquery>
<cfif verifyInsert.numberOfInserts EQ 0>

</cfif>

Can't submit form with multiple signatures

I have a form with multiple signatures. I've enabled Reader Rights. After the first signature signs, the user must save the document. When the document is saved, then the user cannot submit the form to the next signer. Is there a way to change how this is working?
Thanks,
MDawn

MDawn
Did you design the form with Adobe Designer? Assuming you did, when you add a signature field, there is a property enabled by default that "Locks all fields" after signing. A submit button is also considered a field so it will be locked after the first signature is applied.
You need to either disable this property (I would not recommend this) or create field collections that are assigned to specific signature fields. A field collection controls which fields are locked by each signature field when signed.

Prepopulating PDF Fillable Forms with data from XML files

How can I get a PDF fillable form to open pre-populated with data from an XML file automatically? I've been using Adobe Standard 9.0 and am willing to upgrade in a modest fashion if necessary. I am aware of the Navigation method > Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data. This works fine, however, my users are not smart enough to do tis much clicking and selecting. Is there an automated way to have this XML data merged into the PDF file on the fly. These files will reside on an internal local area network and will be operated on local PC's that will probably have Acrobat Reader ONLY. I have been told that the only way to accomplish this is through Java Scripting. I would prefer to do this the 'old fashioned' way of command line switches, but that does not appear to be an option. Does anyone have a sample Javascript that would accomplish what I am trying to achieve. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sharon
The easiest way is:
- Open your PDF form within Acrobat
- From the File menu, import the XML form data into the form
- From the File menu, use Save As... to save the file with a new name.
The new PDF will be identical to the original one, but will have the data embedded in it. Voila.
If you want the same form to pre-populate with different XML files depending on the circumstances, or if you're generating the XML on the fly, then things get more complicated. (And more expensive.) As your consultant said, LiveCycle Forms is one option, but it is expensive (actually even more than 10K). There are other options, including Cold Fusion, custom servlets, etc.

Fillable forms with radio buttons (Using Adobe Reader X)

I have two questions: First question, I have a fillable form with "yes" and "no" radio buttons. Currently the radio defaults to answer "yes", but I would like both the "yes" and "no" fields to be empty, which would allow the user to select an answer on his or her own. Second question, is there a way to make an answer required before moving on to the next question?
(Using Adobe Reader X)
Message was edited by: mp2athome

You need to check and make sure that the options for each radio button do not have the "Button is checked by default" selected.
You can make all the following answer radio buttons "read only" and only after one of the choices for the preceding question has been answered are the radio buttons for the next question are write enabled.
You will need Acrobat to create the form.

Just a note, this currently has a total limit of 1024 characters through the JSON submission which is all the data. So it can not be overly big forms and messages.

Submit form with response in new browser window

Is it possible to set up a submit button so that it pops up the response in a separate browser window? With an HTML form, I can do it using target="_blank", but not aware of any such option on a LiveCycle submit button.
If it can't be done, maybe there's another way to do what I need. Users complete the data-entry PDF form and submit the data to a servlet, which returns another (different) PDF. My user may look at this PDF, see a problem, and want to return to the data-entry form to change what he's entered before regenerating the output. However, by this point my original data-entry PDF is gone. I am not using LiveCycle on the server. Any ideas?

Many thanks for your help on this Paul. I decided to go with the hostContainer approach despite my reservations. Here's a simplified version of my servlet. This version simply parrots back the XML in a separate browser window. I hope this helps someone.

Cannot submit form with Adobe Reader 7

I have created a fillable form in Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and have enabled user user rights so that people using reader can save a copy of the PDF.
On the form itself, there is a button that is of type submit that specifies a valid URL and submits the data as XDP.
Whilst working in Lifecycle Designer or Adobe Professional, I am able to submit the form and its content. Once I open the PDF in Adobe Reader 7.0, when I try to submit the form I always get this error "cannot handle content type text/html; charset=utf-8".
I have no idea what is the error and I am hoping some one can provide some guidance.
Thanks

It is certainly true that Adobe Reader can't handle text/html - it
isn't a web browser and doesn't have HTML function - so what other
content types have you tried? (I think some versions may give the
error and others may fail silently). I don't think Adobe are ignoring
the problem: the message is clear and Reader is working as designed. I
imagine to work you need to return a suitable PDF or XML response.
I agree it would be very helpful if Adobe provided accessible
information on what they do expect. This may be a reflection of their
wish to sell LiveCycle server products to handle your submission.
Anyone out there with a working solution?

How can I create a form with a button that adds a new page of fields to fill out?

Hi,
I have a one-page form created in Acrobat Pro 9 that contains five fields for a user to complete. I'd like to give the user the option of adding a page with the same five fields to fill out. The user finishes those fields, presses an "Add a Page" button, and then gets another page to fill out, and so on. When finished, their PDF form might be 10 pages long, at which point the user can save it as a single PDF file. Is this possible to do in Acrobat Pro 9 or 10, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Andrew

When I created a new template like you told me, I wasn't given the option to rename the fields. See screenshot below. I'm just given the option to add a new template. Changing it refers to changing the template to a different page.
If you can show me how to have the fields renamed automatically or use the rename parameter, I think that should fix it.
Under Tools>JavaScript>Document JavaScripts, I've added a Script named "PackagingArtwork".
// Here is the code
function PackagingArtwork()
{this.createTemplate({cName: "PackagingArtwork", nPage: 5});
// Here the code that spawns the template
var PackagingArtworkArray = this.templates;
          var PackagingArtwork = PackagingArtworkArray[0];
          PackagingArtwork.spawn(this.numPages, false, false);
This is what the JS debugger said.

var t1 = createTemplate("t1", 0);
var oXO = t1.spawn({nPage: numPages, bOverlay: false});

Creating a form with radio buttons that users can fill, save, and e-mail back

Hi all,
I am new here, so please forgive me if this answer has already been answered. I have been looking around and still have not been able to find an answer.
I have created a pdf in InDesign and opened it in Acrobat to create a form out of that existing PDF. The form needs to contain radio buttons and text fields. When I save it to test it out on Adobe Reader (for the typical user), it says that I am only allowed to save it in its original form (without any of the changes) thereby making this form useless (I do not want users to print it out; I'd like them to email the entire PDF back to me).
I've looked online and found some answers saying that I would just need to enable commenting, but when I tried that, I could no longer select any of the radio buttons in Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I'm on a Mac using Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional.

You won't see that in 7. It didn't exist until Acrobat 8. Though It would work with PDF's opened by Reader 7.
The only choice you have is connacting someone at Adob coporate and finding out how to sign up to a Service they have that will llow you to do that.
Caution: its very, very expensive and unless your fortune 1000 company you can't afford it.
OR you could upgrade to Acrobat 10 (if you have a Machine capable of running it - Intel Only) or Acrobat 9 (PPC and INTEL).
Note the feature they speak of only allows for 500 instances of any one PDF set up to do so.
