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.

Problem in submit button on adobe form integrated with web dynpro

Hello,
I'm facing prob in triggering web dynpro event onSubmit for Interactive form.
I've created a submit button from web dynpro activex pallete on adobe form (integrated with web dynpro) to send the form as email.
Then in the web dynpro view where this form is embedded i have created an action against onSubmit event and called a method within this.
However, on clicking Submit button this event is not getting triggered.
Please let me know what is lacking in this process?
Thanks.

Hi,
I am also facing the same problem. i have developed a simple scenario under which user have to input his/her details and on submit button it will be updated to database.
I have tried the above solution but after adopting this solution all the editable fields become non-editable.
so the above solution is not working for me could you help me out.
I think ... try this....
When you create the Adobe Form from WebDynpro, you need to follow one step in SFP Transaction or inSE80 transaction. Open the Adobe Form in any one the transaction and now in SAP menu bar "Utilities" in that you will find the "INSERT THE WEBDYNPRO SCRIPT" just click on that one. Then you will see a new Script Object is being created with the name "ContainerFoundation_JS" under the "Variables" in the Heirarchy of the Object Pallete of the Adobe Form.
This step is mandatory to use the SUBMIT Button of the "WebDynpro Native", to trigger the OnSubmit event of the WebDynpro.
Thanks

Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger action???

Hi all,
the submit button within Adobe form doesn't trigger any action that i wrote. it happens to my machine, but it doesn't happen on some of my colleague's machines.
i am using Adobe reader 8, when the first time i use IE to display the app, it prompts me to install some kind of activeX plug in, and after it installed, it told me that some setting is not correct, and it mentioned about adobe reader 6 or 7.
will downgrade to 6 or 7 solve this problem? is there any other walkaround for it?
thank you!

If you are on Netweaver 2004s SP9 or higher, you could change the displayType property of InteractiveForm UI element to "Web Dynpro Native" and use the submit button from "Native" tab.
If you are any other lower version, you dont have a choice but to use "activeX" which requires Active Component Framework (ACF) to communicate with server. You need to use button from "Web Dynpro ActiveX" tab. You need to install the right version of ACF (SAP Note 766191). Better if you use Adobe Reader 8.1.2.

Submit button from Adobe form doesn't trigger event???

Hi all,
I am having this weird problem, the submit button wont trigger any event i register to "submit" and so as to the "check" event. when i send the link to one of my colleagues, the button can trigger the event.
i am using adobe reader 8 on IE 6, didn't solve the problem when i downgrade it to reader 7.
any advice???
Thank you.

Hi,
I too had a similar problem sometime back regarding the Submit button. Since you are saying that it is working for your colleague but not you, I predict that something wrong with the network you are in, compared to that of your friend. Have you provided the Preprocessor URL for the button in the Adobe designer?

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

Multiple Submit buttons in Adobe form !

Hello Experts,
Scenario :
Form has Material number as input field and Material description should get automatically populated( maybe as a script or button , dont know yet ). Then the form is to be submitted at the backend.
I have created an Adobe interactive form with Multiple Submit buttons( one is Submit toSAP) button , other is a normal pushbutton( for Material desc to be populated ) . I have been able to Submit data at backend.
But problem is there is only one event on the Interactive form UI element properties.
Please suggest how to achieve the above ? via script or sm code in web dynpro ?
System Config : WAS 6.4 / SP12 .
Need a quick resolution. Generous points for help.
Regards,
Sonika

Hi Sonika,
control_param structure is used in case of ISR forms, but I dont think your form is related to the ISR.
Use a context attribute, and set its value to get the Material description from backend.
Like you can define an attribute in context, "GETDESCRIPTION", and set its value at the exit event of Inputfield to "GET".
$.parent.GETDESCRIPTION.rawvalue = "GET"
app.eval("event.target.SAPSubmit();");
And at the click event of the button you can write:
$.parent.GETDESCRIPTION.rawvalue = "SET"
app.eval("event.target.SAPSubmit();");
And in the backend, read the value of this attribute and perform the desired action.
Hope this helps,
Amit

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 next page in Adobe Form

Hi all .
I only start work with Adobe Forms so I need your help .
My form includes table .
My problem : only the first page with data is displayed and I don't see the rest of data .
What I need to define in SFP (program ? ) for get all my data printed ?
Regards Helena .

Hello
That is a well known bug/ feature. In SFP transaction use the tab Layout instead of the button layout. The form will be opened. Open the Font/ paragraph window, place it where you want (between the other palletes so you can see everything you need) and jump back to SFP/ close the form. Now you can open the full-screen layout using the button and the font window will work for you. Regards Otto
p.s.: Of course you´re welcome with your questions here:

Help with submit button on PDF form

I created a form via the Forms Central desktop app then saved it as a PDF to my desktop. When opening in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro, I noticed that I am unable to include a submit button - it does not let me edit the PDF. I've tried going back into Forms Central and adding a submit button, but that feature is not available anywhere. Any suggestions?
PS - My preference is to have the responses returned to me, not my Forms Central account.
Thanks so much.

Hi;
OK - I can clarify some things and tell you how to do what your looking for.
The desktop FormsCentral application tools are really designed towards create forms that do collect data on FormsCentral servers. You can still easily create PDFs that do not submit data to FormsCentral, but you'll have to add any alternative submit functionality using the Forms tools in Acrobat. You can create a PDF without the submit button in either case, signed in/out of the Desktop Application from the "File" - "Save as PDF Form" menu item. You can then modify the PDF in Acrobat XI Pro by doing a "Save A Copy", when you open the copy you can edit it any way you like, adding a "Submit" button that email's the PDF/Responses back to you...
Here's how: In Acrobat open the PDF you saved from the FormsCentral Desktop application and go to "File" - "Save a Copy" and choose a location, this will remove the security. Open up the copy you just created and you can now edit it, here is a YouTube video tutorial using Acrobat XI, he covers the email button in about two minutes, there are lots of tutorials out there but this one is easy to follow:,

you just need to change (at end of actionPerformed())

to
[whateverFrame].dispose();
easier to show a simple demo

Problem with Web Dynpro ABAP Adobe form Access via 'NULL' object reference

Hi All!
I'm a beginner of Adobe form.
problem 1:
I tried to display data in Adobe interactive form according to the tutorial :https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/7783. [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
I checked every step, but unfortunately it reported an error: Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible. I found that the error happens when trying to get element of the context node.
I also have such problem when I was studying the tutorial https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/CallAdobeFormthroughABAPWebDynpro.
problem 2:
I can't input any data in input box or click any button even if I selected the property 'enabled' of the interactive form while my colleague can do it on his computer. Does it means that there are some thing wrong with my adobe reader?
Hope anyone could save me,
Thanks & Regards,
Murloc

Check that you have entries in the Table MARI. else you will get this message.

How do I remove the "SUBMIT" button from a forms central PDF?

I downloaded a fillable PDF I want to e-mail now, but I want to remove the "SUBMIT" button that is added on for forms central.

When you convert a web form that you've created in FormsCentral and download as a PDF, you have the option of not including a submit button. If you created a PDF form with the desktop version of Acrobat, it won't have a submit button unless you upload it to the FormsCentral service and enable it for submission.
Still, you can remove it in Acrobat by first saving a non-enabled version by selecting: File > Save A Copy
and opening the copy (it doens't happen automatically) and deleting the button.
