Return form via email

Insert button to return filled out form via email

You can send a link to a form within an email, but the form itself will open within the browser (or Reader if it's a PDF). A submit button will already be present on the form.

Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

Hi,
For sending smartform output into mail you first have to generate spool request and convert it into PDF and then
only it can be sended into mail, please find the sample code in the mail below:

How can recipients submit a distributed form via email to any email address they want?

First, a little background to describe our situation:
I have a standard Acrobat form here that I need about 20 of my salespeople to use to send to their new prospective customers, have the customers fill it out, and return the completed form to their respective salesperson.
I don't want to allow my salespeople or their customers to be able to save local copies of the form because it will include personal information about the customer. If customers were to save their completed forms and email them to our salespeople, I worry that the salespeople will accidentally send out one of those completed forms to a new customer thinking that it is a clean/unfilled version of the form (and not realizing that it includes sensitive information about another customer!)
Thus, I need a way for our customers to fill and return the forms without being able to save them locally as their own versions and then sending those new versions to our salespeople.
I believe that means that I should use the "distributed forms" method and ask the customers to "submit" the forms directly rather than save/email them on their own.
I'd like to have a single form up on our website, and our salespeople will just send out the link to that form so that customers can fill out their data and submit it. If our salespeople get into the habit of just sending out the link, and they get an email with the completed form after a customer completes it, then they'll never email around actual PDF copies of the form, so they'll avoid the risk of accidentally sending out a customer's completed form that has all their personal info on it.
Here's the problem though:
Using the "distributed form" method, whenever a form is submitted by a prospective customer, it seems that it can only be submitted/sent to the email address on the Adobe account that originally created the form (which is me), but I need the completed form to be sent directly to the salesperson who covers that customer (not me).
So, is there some way to get around this issue?
Can I create a form field that allows the customer to type in the salesperson's email address so that the completed PDF of the form is sent to that salesperson when they submit it (rather than all of them being sent to me)?This would be ideal because it would still be a distributed form that allows people to submit their forms directly to their salespersons without having to save local versions of the form w/ all their personal info and then emailing to the salesperson.
If this can't work, is there some way to make sure that when a customer fills out a form that they are required to save it as a new version under a new file name (like "NormalFileName_CustomerLastName")?If the file name is always different than the original, clean copy of the form, then it would make it less likely that my salespeople would send out the wrong version.
I know this issue must come up with people all the time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You would have to first change the email address that Acrobat uses (Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address) and then redistribute the form in Acrobat and send it to your users.

Sending Offline Interactive Form Via Email

Hi,
I am running NW 2004s SPS09 and trying to configure GP to use offline adobe interactive forms. As of now, I am able to create a callable object from an Adobe template, prefill fields from other background execution/web service callable objects, and launch a process when the form is submitted via email. I am having trouble routing the form to the next processor through email. I created an interactive form callable object, checked 'Enable Use In Guided Procedures' and selected 'Create Offline Interactive Form And Send By E-Mail'. My first thought was that there was some delay in the sending of emails, but callable objects in other processes that send plain text notifications work fine. The process does not enter an erroneous state and waits at that action. Looking at the GP monitor under NW administration, the correct processor is set for the action, but the task does not appear in the user's UWL or GP runtime center (I figure this is because the task is meant to be completed offline). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
~Greg

Turned out the 'switchToNewMailCommunication' property for the GP service was set to true when it should have been false.

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

How do I send entire pdf form via email from web browser

How do you send a pdf completed form on your web browser via email to email address?

Hello Wayne, see no offense in this message
There is a faster scheme.
Copy the range of cells to send (it may be an entire table)
Enter the application entitled Preview.
File > Create a new doc from the clipboard
File > Send the selected PDF document (I'm not sure of the exact wording).
It's the highlighted one.
Bingo, it will create a mail with the PDF embedded.

Submit PDF form via email = Operation is not permited!

Hi there,
I just downloaded a trial version of Acrobat 9.0 to see if we can make a bunch of our forms more user friendly and possibly interacive.
I have created a form, and now I'd like to enable the user to submit the entire form by email to one of our email accounts by clicking a Submit button.
I followed the required steps religously and defined the "Submit a form" action, triggered by "Mouse Up" and included the required mailto:[email protected] link.
However, when I open the form in either Acrobat Pro 9 or Reader 9, the text on the button is not there and when I click on the button it either pulls up an email that looks the way it's supposed to, but the "email was not sent". If I try the same thing on my MAC, clicking on the button generates "Operation not permitted" message.
Where did I go wrong?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as this feature or ability is pretty much crucial to our decision to purchase the application.
Many thanks.

There are a few things to be careful about, particularly if others are to read your form on a variety of systems.
1. Don't use spaces in the file name. A lot of browsers will choke on spaces, though most are starting to accept this non-standard habit resulting from Windows habits.
2. Don't put a space between mailto: and your email. It will send a space in from of your e-mail address that may cause a problem with an e-mail client.
3. Your submit button was not labelled, with an icon as you had it set or simply text "Submit."
I modified the form to come to me and filled it out. The data was sent to me and I asked to open it, it could not find the file but allowed me to select the form file and it opened up just fine. You can also open the form in Acrobat and use the import data option. It sounds like this last little bit was the hangup for you. In the past I have been able to select the FDF file and it would open right up. I am not sure what is necessary for it to find the form - standard placement or what I am not sure.

Button to send filled out form as completed pdf form via email

I have created a form that when filled out, should send the form by email to the recipient as a completed pdf form. It works with Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
Any Ideas?
form can be found at: http://www.lcyc.ca/images/stories/macman2012/macmanentry.pdf

Check out:
http://www.nk-inc.com/macmanentry.pdf
Use your real name, and e-mail address in the PDF form fields, and recieve a customized email copy and response.
The script will parse and merge the XDP submission, so there's no need to Reader Enable your forms.
PDFEmail.net works in ASP.net web servers.
Note: Do not submit sensitive information, this is just a demo. I may get a BCC of the form.

Sending form via email - can't see user responses in returned PDF

I created a form in Form Central. I chose "save as PDF form" and saved it on my computer. I attached this form to an email and asked employees to fill out and send back to me as a pdf. When people email me back their filled in form, I can only see the responses when I click on each individual box. When I print the form, the responses do not print.
Would appreciate help since I distributed the forms to the company, and realized there was a problem as responses started to come in today (I only tested it on my computer and had no issues)
I would appreciate any help you can give. Especially:
Why is this happening?
How do I prevent this in the future?
Is there anything I can do to resolve the issue, without having to send out an updated form?
Christine

The users filling out your PDF are not using Adobe Acrobat or the Free Adobe Reader to fill out your form - FormsCentral forms have to be filled out in Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Also, make sure that you are also using Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to view those PDFs.
The way to resolve this is to instruct your users to use Adobe Reader to fill out the form.
This FAQ touches on the issue, but mostly related to the Submit button not working, however the issues you describe are caused by not using Adobe Reader or Acrobat as well: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

Elementary Problem With Submitting A PDF Form Via Email?

Hello all!
I'm brand new to creating forms with Adobe. I have Acrobat X Pro. I have created a form with multiple fields to fill in and placed a button at the top of the form. Under button properties I selected the submit a form option under the actions tab and chose to email the entire pdf file. Where it says enter a URL for this link I put mailto: and my email address.
When I click on the submit button I choose the desktop application option as I use Outlook exchange. (that could be the problem?) I click on the ok button and immediately get a pop up box that says "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default client.
I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I'm creating the submit form improperly. My goal is to get an exact copy of the completed Adobe form emailed to the specified email address. Any help would be much appreciated!
Mike

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

Submitting Forms via Email

I have created an order form in LiveCycle that i wish to post on my website. I want my customers to be able to open the form directly from the site, fill it in, click submit, and for their form to be emailed directly back to me. I have tried a couple of different forms, however, when the customers click the submit button, nothing is ever sent, it will only ever try to save the document elsewhere, and this is not practical for my customers. I am convinced that i have set the form up correctly, and distributed it correctly in Adobe Acrobat, but it still does not work.
Any help would be highly appreciated!!

Unfortunately, I think that the only data structure you can get with Designer is XML. If you recast the form in Acrobat (form tools are under the TOOLS menu, not the FORMS menu (this one takes you to Designer), you should be able to select HTML as an output data format. The only reason that would be important is if you collected the data in cgimail or formmail. An example of HTML for a web form is given at "http://www.computing.vt.edu/internet_and_web/web_publishing/webmasters_toolkit/web_form_ma iler/quickstart.html". Yes, this is HTML, but you can do the same thing by including the hidden fields in a PDF form and submitting to the formmail server. You can not use this one as it only works for folks at VT, but it provides an example. You can check with your ISP provider to see if there is such a form service available to you.
As sample form return from a HTML submit is as follows (from a different server than the VT.EDU one above):

If this suffices, then submitting your form as HTML data with the hidden fields will do the job.
If that is not adequate, then at least just submit the data to you by e-mail (that will do for 80-90% of the time) while you work out how to submit to a web server. The XML or FDF files can be imported to the form file, giving you the same result as if the full form had been sent (and no extended rights are needed). With a little programming skill, or with the form, you can insert the data from the form to a database file (sorry, I have not done it, just know you can).
I suggest you try to work things out in steps until you reach the final solution needed. Bill
