Save Button to Submit Button

I have a form in SharePoint and by default at the top when a new item is created it says Save, Close, Copy, Paste. How can I make the Save Button a Submit Button?
I am new to SharePoint and don't know how to do much so be specific.
Thank you.

One way you can do is by customizing the list using InfoPath and choose to disable the menu or add you custom buttons to replicate the button action.
Since you have not mentioned about the SharePoint version, I assume that your SP Version supports InfoPath.

No "Submit to SAP" button, the submit button offered doesn't work

Hello everyone,
I am working with the interactive forms and I have tried going through the PDF about how to use an RFC with the interactive forms. During the tutorial, they say to add a button called "Submit to SAP", but I don't have one. I have groupings for Web Dynpro ActiveX and Web Dynpro Native, but neither of those have a "Submit to SAP" button, only regular submit buttons. I have tried adding these submit buttons, but neither one actually submits my data. When I click on them in the form nothing happens.
I am running NWDS 7.0.10
Thanks for the help,
Logan

We had the same problem and when we installed ACF on the client machine it resolved the problem.
If you are using 04s you can use this link https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=HUU1XMYWJNEKKEXB7EG33N5LBBAXUEP4LBRZXKWFEZHBR74SWY
to download ACF.
Also, does this problem exist even when the Submit button is placed outside the Adobe form?
thanks,

Help with submit button, signatures and locking fields

https://acrobat.com/#d=sCcToPsLqquP0uePmVL1pQhttp://https://acrobat.com/#d=ZsRL5CeME*4iV3VHnvUFXw
Well here's a doozy for ya. I have no idea what I'm doing as you will be able to see when you look at my form.
What I want to happen is to have the user fill out the form, choose the operations manager and select submit button associated with the drop down box. All other dropdown boxes and submit buttons should be hidden. I need the form to lock so there are no edits except the signature field, the next dropdown box and submit button. I'd like to customize the email with a specific subject line and specify the email address based on the person selected from the drop down box. I'd like this to repeat itself until there are no more signature fields left. It is very important that this document follow the order specified.
I tried to use an example Niall put out there to use regular buttons as submit buttons with script. I changed a couple things and it worked to submit the form based on the person selected but I still do not know how to lock the fields. Long story short, I broke what did work and don't know how to do what I really want to do or fix what had once worked. I don't understand javascript so please, if you're willing to help teach me, be patient and spell it out like i'm speaking a foreign language.
Oh boy, even I don't want to do this. What a mess!

I believe that you should re-post this in either the Forms or the Designer forum. You are more likely to get the right folks to look at it there.
Generally this forum is for building custom Document Service Component (DSC) plugins that extend the LiveCycle ES server side product.

Submit button greyed out in Compressor

All of a sudden when I try to compress a .mov the "Submit" button is greyed out. No matter what movie I try or what compression settings I try. Running FCP 7.0.3 MacBook Pro 2011 Lion 10.7.5. Plenty of space on HD, re-installed software, all usual troubleshooting. When I drag the same movie to Compressor in my old Mac 2008 running snow leopard it lets me click "Submit." Been running Compressor and Final Cut no problem till now. Even compressed a movie tonight just fine. Then, made some changes to the Final Cut Sequence, output new QT movie, bam - all of a sudden compressor won't work. Can drag any settings onto the job, click submit button on the bottom, then when menu to name job drops down I can only click "Cancel" button. "Submit" button is there but greyed out.
Right before this happened I "cancelled" a compression that was processing in the Batch window. Would that prevent me from starting something new?
Cannot seem to open the batch window to resume.
Thank you,
Patrice Shannon

It's probably lost its connection to Qmaster. Running this utility from Digital Rebellion often is enough to get the links reconnected.

Which type of submit button to use?

Hi All,
I am struggling with a form which executes BAPI script when user clicks submit. My submit button doesnt do any action for some reason. I dont know if the problem is in the type of submit button am using. Can someone please tell me what is the exact kind of button I need to use?
I see Email Submit button, HTTP Submit button, (just) Button, and there are various categories in Insert Menu like Webdynpro ActiveX, Webdynpro Native etc. If someone can tell me exactly, I would appreciate. Am using developer workplace, Webdynpro with Java.
Thanks

Lets say I have 2 views, say A and B. I have an interactive form in A. I have also assigned an action for onSubmit method. Inside the implementation code for that action, I have written,
wdThis.wdFirePlugOutPlug();
where OutPlug is the name of the outbound plug on A. I have an inbound plug on B with a navigation link between the two plugs.
Inside the implementation code for inbound plug of B, I have written
wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Test");
When I run the application, my pdf form is displayed in the same browser window. I fill it and click submit and nothing happens. Page is not refreshed to show view B or any other message. I checked default trace in Server0/logs. No errors. Am running out of options. Please help !
One more thing, when I run the application, pdf form opens embedded in the browser window which has view. Thats the way it has to be right?
Also, I have developer work place and I used xACF_NW04s_SP11.exe for installing ACF. Is the ACF version okay or do I need to use some other file?
Also, am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.1. Again is this the right version to use with Developer workplace?

Hi Everyone - I had this problem recently and your posts helped me get to the resolution for my issue.
Submit button was greyed out.
I had recently done a software update, which may have created the issue.
My Compressor was version 3.5.
My QMaster was now version 3.5.3.
Based on reading your posts, this may have been the issue.
I found this update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl949
I installed the software update, which updated my Compressor to version 3.5.3. The updates take place in the applications folder, so after installing the update, I moved the Compressor icon to the desktop, replacing the old icon.
Compressor works again.

Two Form buttons - a "submit" and an "Add Another Record" button

Hello, any help would be appreciated . I think what I want to do requires a Custom Trigger but am not sure. And if it does, I'm not sure how to do it.
I've got a form and when the user gets to the point where they want to submit the form, I want need two buttons; a Submit button and an "Add another Record" button.
The reason is that the form contains two parts; two fields that go into one table (ex. incident and location) and two fields that go into another table (first name and last name). Of course these tables are tied together. I can do that no problem. But if the user wants to enter another person's name, I want the user to click the Add Another Record button and be able to add the second or third name.
I know that I need a Custom Trigger to carry the original tables ID. What I can't figure out is how to add the additional button next to the Submit button.
Thanks!

It is possible you have an add-on popup blocker that is more aggressive than Firefox's standard popup blocker?
A quick way to see whether one of your extensions is involved is to test these features in Firefox's Safe Mode. That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

How can I create a submit button that only saves?

Our end users will save the completed form and later upload it to anotherg place. I created a save button that works fine, but without a Submit button there is nothing to trigger the reminder to go back and answer required questions. I don't want to lose that part. Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer!

Would something like this work for you?
var OKToSave = true;
if (tfSomething.isNull) {
tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
OKToSave = false;
else tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
if (!OKToSave) app.alert("Please fill in all required fields");
else app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

Email Submit button trying to save

When I use the email submit button it is trying to save the form instead of attaching it to an email. Started doing this since changed OS to WIndows 7 from XP

instead of using the submit button, use the normal button to send it via email
Insert this code to send it via email
var oDoc = event.target;
                              oDoc.mailDoc({
                                                                                bUI: false,
                                                                                cTo: "[email protected]",
                                                                                cCC: "",
                                                                                cSubject: "THS Extension Request - " + this.resolveNode("Main1.frmPart1.frmInformation.frmCallUpInfo.txtCallUpRef").rawValue,
                                                                                cMsg: "Before submiting the email, include attachments 1, 2 and 3:\n"
Also if you want to validate your form before submitting, you can check before submitting it by email with this
if (form1.execValidate()){
     //mailDoc

Can I use a submit button that will automatically flatten and open up the save as screen?

Hello,
I'm working with forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and I want the submit button to flatten the document then open the save as screen. I know I can print to pdf and this automatically will open that screen, but these forms are going to be used with tablets that may or may not have the "print to adobe" as an option. Is there another way to flatten? I know the PDF Optimizer will do that too, but it isn't an executable option in the button properties. Magic anyone? Thanks.

It depends very much on the platform and the applications used by the users of this form. If they are using non-Adobe software, all bets are off.
Also, some tablets (iPad) don't support JS, so even if they do use Adobe's Reader for the iOS, there's not much that can be done in the way of scripting.
Generally speaking: In Acrobat you can flatten the form, but in Reader that's not possible. What you can do, though, is create a function that makes the form fields read-only, thus preventing the user from editing them after having submitted the file.

Can not keep drawable signature option in reader on a form with a mailto: submit button added.

I hope someone has run into this. I have acrobat 11.0.10 to create fill-able forms and reader 11.0.10 to view and fill them. Do to the nature of the forms a drawn signature is required and is available right up until I add a submit button with a mailto: action. Then all that is available in the reader is the digital certificate. I should add that I save the form without reader extensions. Is there a way to add the auto-adressed mailto function for the person filling the form and still keep the drawable signature option for signing?

- is it possible to have more than one form on the page. If so how do
I determine which form is submitted isDefined('form1'),
isDefined('form2') does not seem to work,
/quote
Yes.
- if there are two buttons in the form how can I tell which one was
preses as both seem to return true when tested with isDefined()
/quote
Give the buttons different name attributes. On your action page check
with StructKeyExists(Form, "name_of_first_button") and
StructKeyExists(Form, "name_of_second_button") which one was pressed.

Submit Button error - Data Connection failing

I am the form designer and am currently testing a new form I have created, however there is an error with my submit button which Saves the form to SharePoint, I receive the following error message:
InfoPath cannot submit the form.
An error occurred while the form was being submitted.
The form cannot be submitted to the following location: http://servername/siteA/siteB/siteC/FormLibrary/FormName.xml
The file: http://servername/siteA/siteB/siteC/FormLibrary/FormName.xml" is checked out for editing by DOMAIN\MyUserName.
The operation completed successfully.
The form is not checked out to me, or open by anybody else, also check out functionality is not forced on this SharePoint library.
On searching forums I have read about using friendly server names and I am using the server's name in the URL, i.e.
http://servername instead of the alias
http://intranet - this had solved the problem in other forms, but not this one.
Looking closely at the rules on my submit button, the following actions occur:
1st rule checks the selection of certain fields, if the conditions are right it will set the values of 3 different fields.
The 2nd rule saves to SharePoint using a data connection (please note this data connection works fine on different submit buttons in different views). The second rule also closes the form.
To test where the error occurs I added a series of actions to display messages, and the problem is definitely on the data connection rule.
The data connection is to save to a Sharepoint library, using a field called "filename" as the file name. The data connection allows overwrites. The file name is set the first time a file is saved (it has a condition which checks a field which
gets set upon any save event - if this field is set to 0 filename gets set and this field gets set to 1 - because this field is now equal to 1, the filename field will nwever get set again).
I have 2 views on the form, one named phase 1, the other named phase 2. When the custom submit button is pressed on the phase 1 view, my data connection works, but on the save 2 view, the exact same data connection fails with the error message above.
I am using Windows 7, InfoPath 2010, SharePoint 2010, InfoPath filler form).
In Windows XP, for a different user, the error messaeg is a little different, and the form does actually save:
InfoPath cannot submit the form
An error occurred while the form was being submitted
The form cannot be submitted to the following location: http://servername/siteA/siteB/siteC/FormLibrary/FormName.xml
The file is in use by another application or user.
As I said the form does actually save its changes but still throws up this error message which will be very confusing to end users.
I've exhausted all avenues that I know of to find the cause of the error messages and I'm at a loss, please help!
Thanks,
Ben

bgvball14. I found that the error was down to the friendly name / server name issue. I have made sure that everything uses the friendly name e.g.
http://intranet instead of the servername e.g.
http://servername. I made sure the data connection and all options in the publishing wizard are set to the friendly name. There were still some forms that didn't work though - this was because when trying to fix this problem I had switched several times
between using the friendly /server names and some forms were looking for the template with the server name (these didn't work), other forms looked for the friendly name (these did work).
What I did was open my form library in windows explorer view and then drag each form into Notepad so I could see the source code. On the top two lines I could see the reference to the template and in some cases the template weas referenced using the server
aname, which I changed to the friendly name and this worked. I did have to check every form in the library. Basically, everything should reference the friendly name (e.g.
http://intranet.

Help with making an Email Submit button on a form!

Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.
Im trying to put on it a email submit button - i used email submit field and made the button. Then in the Objects Palette, in the box that says email address i put in the email address that i want it to be sent to. I then tried to email the form, and i received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to come through with the PDF form.
I searched on help and this is what i found:
3.
In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.
4.
Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.
To
Use this URL protocol
Example
Submit the package to an ftp site
ftp
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server
http
http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server
https
https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address
mailto
mailto:[email protected]
5.
Select PDF from the Submit As list.
I cant find where to change these options - can someone help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The issue is that if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader cannot submit the form as a PDF.
They can submit it as an XML file and then you would re-import this back into the form on receipt. It is an extra step, but it does have the advantage that the data being submitted as an XML file is very small.
If you really need/want the form to be submitted as a PDF AND your users have Reader, then the form will have to be Reader Enabled.
There are two options:
Reader Enable using Acrobat Standard (version 9) or Acrobat Professional (version 8). This will give certain rights, like the ability for users with Reader to save the form and for the form to be submitted as a PDF. However there are licensing restrictions, see EULA.
The other option is to Reader Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. This is a server product, which entails additional cost and a cost to Reader Enable each form. It is intended for processing large volumes of forms/large volumes of data.
There is a summary here:
http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
So there are a couple of options.
Form NOT Reader Enabled:
Users cannot save the data they input.
Data must be submitted as an XML file and processed on receipt.
Form IS Reader Enabled:
Users can save the data they input.
Data can be submitted as a PDF (or XML file).
Hope that helps,
Niall
