Problem with submit button - Acrobat/Reader

I have created a simple fillable form with Adobe Acrobat XI Pro with a submit button, form posted to the web. The form/button works fine for me in Google Chrome, IE, and Safari (Windows 8, Outlook email client) but doesn't seem to work for users with only Adobe Reader (9 was tested using an older version of Windsows and Outlook). After completing the form successfully, they are returned the error message: "This operation is not permitted" when they attempt to submit their form using the submit button. I'm not sure what program is causing the problem. How do I fix this?

You need to Reader-enable the form using Acrobat. Before Reader 11 was introduced, Reader was not able to save a fille-in form unless the document was enabled. Since the changes need to be saved in order to attach it to an email, this is necessary for previous versions. Do enable a form in Acrobat 11, select: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Problem with Submit Button in Adobe Forms Central

I have a PDF form that I uploaded to Adobe Forms Central. I created the fillable fields & the submit button in Forms Central. I have several documents like this. All have worked in the past. Today on my latest file, the submit button doesn't always work. I am getting some submissions, but some people have reported to me that the submit button does not work. I tested it myself to see. I had to create a Digital ID for myself, which seemed to work fine. But when I click on submit, the form says "Submission Failed. This form can no longer be submitted. Please contact the author." I'm the author & don't know what the problem is. Anyone know what the problem could be?

The form is open. I should have mentioned that I made sure to check that first. The form was created by uploading an existing PDF file that I created from a MS Word file to Adobe FormsCentral. Once the form was completed, I had a coworker test it & it worked. We sent the form out & I have received some back, but have also received reports of the form not working. I downloaded the form to my computer & tested it using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard. I use a Windows environment on a Dell laptop. The form does not work for me.

Problems with "Submit" button on simple PDF form.

Hi there!
I have searched, but perhaps not searching forums correctly to find my answer as this seems like it should be easy to fix (she said hopefully).
I have created a simple, offline PDF form for an event registration.
I have fields all done, set it up to email back a simple FDF from the client with a Combo Box "Submit" button.
When the client fills in the fields and hits "Submit" button, she gets:
"The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I created this in Adobe Acrobat 9.
Client is filling in using Windows XP.
I have extended release, no security, etc.
Is there something simple I am missing?
Have been able to get this to work before.
But now, not so much!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

That's not normal. Do you know what version of Acrobat/Reader the other person is using? Can you post the form somewhere? If not, I'd be happy to take a look at it if you are free to email it to me at: acroscript at gmail dot com

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Problem With Distribuction Of Acrobat Reader 9.0 (GPO)

We have some problems with the distribution trought GPO of reader 9.0.
We had follow this instruction
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/deploying_reader9.pdf
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/gpo_ad_9.pdf
but, if the english version work fine, the italian version its bugged.
We have download the files exe from your website (version ITA), and we have repackaged in msi version, but when we tried to do a manual install of the msi, the program dont work fine (for example the icon its not associated correctly to pdf files, some programs for example our management software dont recognise pdf files).
I repeat, its not a problem with GPO or our IT infrastucture, becouuse the english version its work fine. We have problems only with the italian version.
Thanks.

Problem with submit button

I have installed Acrobat 9 professional and have created a PDF with field codes embedded. At the top of the last page, I created a button which sends the form and answers to an email account (mailto: command is used). The form works beautifully for me but not for anyone else. There is no protection or other specialized settings enabled. I can fill it in and submit the form with either Reader or Acrobat Pro. Any suggestions or ideas to solve this little problem would be greatly appreciated.

If they are using Reader you must either enable Reader Rights or change the submission to data only (preferred). You did not say if the form was created in Acrobat or Designer. There are significant differences and you need to indicate which you used.

I don't understand very well your code because it has no organization. Try to put all your code between a tag that is the word code inside brackets, and close that tag at the end of your code.
For the code that I read, you're trying to get the parameters of a form that is in the same servlet. And the forms that you print didn't have an action. So, first of all, put an action on those forms, otherwise they will do noting, at least that you supply some javascript, which isn't the case. Later, don't think that you can call or continue the methods on a servlet just because you press a button which is printed in the same servlet.
Nevertheless, put that code into brackets and we will try to help you better.

Problem with submit button in JEditorPane

Hi,
I'm trying to create a browser using JEditorPane. But I have 2 problems.
1. Refreshing the current page in JEditorPane
2. My HTML page doesn't submit the request at all.
Is it a problem in JEditorPane or I should make it submit as we do for hyperlinks.
If yes, then please send me the code to make a HTML page submit.

The form is open. I should have mentioned that I made sure to check that first. The form was created by uploading an existing PDF file that I created from a MS Word file to Adobe FormsCentral. Once the form was completed, I had a coworker test it & it worked. We sent the form out & I have received some back, but have also received reports of the form not working. I downloaded the form to my computer & tested it using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard. I use a Windows environment on a Dell laptop. The form does not work for me.

Problems with submit button.

All i have run a report with the following SQL which creates the report and assignes tick box to select if you want to keep the value in the row.
select HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(1,recert,'CHECKED') "Accept",traderid,account,alias,credit,currency,allowtrading,ignorepl,riskon,lastmod,whomod,ipaddress,recert from xtrad.xtrader_recert_accounts where recert = '0'
When i click submit on the report all values in the database get and recert gets set to 1, even if i untick certain one.
FOR i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
UPDATE XTRAD.XTRADER_RECERT_ACCOUNTS SET recert = '1' WHERE recert = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
END LOOP;

So i have changed the line proc to say
FOR i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
UPDATE XTRAD.XTRADER_RECERT_ACCOUNTS SET recert = '1' WHERE ACCID = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
END LOOP;
When i run it i get
0.02: Processing point: ON_SUBMIT_BEFORE_COMPUTATION
0.02: Branch point: BEFORE_COMPUTATION
0.02: Computation point: AFTER_SUBMIT
0.02: Perform Branching for Tab Requests
0.02: Branch point: BEFORE_VALIDATION
0.02: Perform validations:
0.02: Branch point: BEFORE_PROCESSING
0.02: Processing point: AFTER_SUBMIT
0.02: ...PLSQL (AFTER_SUBMIT) FOR i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP UPDATE XTRAD.XTRADER_RECERT_ACCOUNTS SET recert = '1' WHERE ACCID = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i); END LOOP;
0.02: Show ERROR page...
0.02: Processing point: AFTER_ERROR_HEADER
Error Unable to update Trader Accounts.!
OK
0.02: Processing point: BEFORE_ERROR_FOOTER
ORA-01722: invalid number
So that is the ACCID or the variable (i)

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

By the way, alcohol based hand sanitisers work too.
Don't overapply it in one go though. You'll have to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
One final tip, after its dried, I'd recommend you to leave your iPhone's home button facing a laptop's vent just to bake it a little drier.

Associating two events with submit button using javascript in jsp

Hi
How can i Associate two events with submit button using javascript in jsp. Firstly it should insert the data to database and secondly it should close the same pop-up window

Have something like :
<input type="submit" name="submitbtn" value="Click me" onClick="function1(); function2(); " />
You just call both functions sequentially, it's that simple. Although using javascript to work with a database, that seems a bit tricky.

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Cent

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.
