Send fillable form as PDF file

Hello,
I created a fillable PDF document using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro for MAC and at the bottom of the form, I added a button to send the form. This form is being filled out by employes using Adobe Acrobat Reader. They must fill out the form and click on send to have the form sent out to the proper email address.
As "Button properties", I went into the ACTION tab and set it up the following way:
     SELECT TRIGGER: Mouse Up
     SELECT ACTION: Submit a form
In the SUBMIT A FORM properties, I set everything up this way:
     ENTER URL FOR THIS LINK: mailto:[email protected]
     EXPORT FORMAT: PDF The complete document
The problem I am having is when the form is filled out by the employes, they get an error message saying it cannot be sent. I searched the web and found out that Acrobat Reader cannot send fillable PDF forms. I tried changing the EXPORT FORMAT option to FDF, HTML or XFDF but none of them worked...
I'm sure there is a way to setup my form to send it (once filled out) using acrobat reader but I can find how to do that. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your time !

When a user opens the file in Acrobat Reader, they can fill it out and print it no problems. However, if they wish to send it via email, this is not possible. I looked on Google and found out that I must save the fillable PDF using "File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Adding Text In Documents" but this option doesn't seem to be available in the MAC version of Adobe Pro...
I'm a bit lost now...

How to send a picture in pdf file when it is in jpeg file

how do I send an attachment in PDF file when it is now in jpeg file. I want to send this attachment in an email.

Hi,
Please convert your JPEG files to PDF file using "Convert to PDF" tool at https://createpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html or Adobe Reader X or Reader XI(using Tools >CreatePDF).
After converting the file please download it to your computer then attach it in your email.
Thank you.

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process, compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
another one I have.
When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
default from Acrobat or any other software ?
Thank you for your next message.

Hi,
Go through the program RSTXPDFT4 (Converting SAPscript (OTF) or ABAP List Spool Job to PDF), you will get some idea. Using this program you can convert spool into PDF file.

Why did you not explain how to return a filled form via pdf file?

Why is there no explanation on how to return form via pdf file?'

Unfortunately, because IRS forms are XFA forms, the flattenPages method that the tool Gilad mentioned won't work, and neither will Preflight or PDF Optimizer.
You can fill-in and save the form with Acrobat or Reader, open it in Preview, and select: File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF
or "Save as Adobe PDF" for that last step. You may have to fiddle with the scaling to get it right.

Inserting Fillable forms into PDFs converted from word

I need some help with inserting a fillable form I created in Live Cycle. When I go to insert the form into a file that was originally created in word and saved as a PDF,I receive a message (see below)
I need to be able to find a way to insert the fillable form to the end of a regular PDF, without losing the capabilities of the form, including a submit by email button, which I tried both as the Email submit button and the regular button, formatted to submit a email in response.
I don't know if there is some settings or preferences that I can change to be able to insert the form, but I need it to be one document.I know that this is not impossible, as I have seen other documents in this formatting, I just cant seem to be able to get it.

Acrobat Standard XI - Sending fillable forms to people who only have Reader?

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me, as I am quite frustrated. I have thought about buying Acrobat for a while but my most recent need is what really encouraged me to buy it --
I want to create an interactive, fillable form for our customers to fill out and resubmit. Although I can create the document with the form fields fine, my co-workers who only have Adobe Reader either can't fill it out, or can't save it once it's filled out, and have been returning them to me blank.
Is there an extra step I need to take to ensure that people who can only VIEW pdf's (such as people with Adobe Reader) can interact with the form and send it back to me filled out? Not all of our customers are going to have shelled out $300 for Acrobat. If this is something that I can't accomplish with Acrobat Standard, then I essentially wasted $300, which is a pretty sizable amount of money. I will not be spending an additional $200 for Acrobat Pro and I will feel kinda duped by Adobe, to be honest.
Please help.

Try67, I appreciate the response.
However, when I go to Save As Other, my only options are "Text" and "Word or Excel Online."
Is it true that I can't save it as a Reader Extended PDF in Standard, and that I have to upgrade to Pro? Seems kind of ridiculous to have to spend an extra $200 for this simple tiny capability.
Any other insight you have would be very, very, very much appreciated.

Emailing a fillable form in PDF format

Hi,
I need to create a PDF fillable form that will send a filled pdf
version to an email on submit.
The ones we have tried so far send an xml version of the form instead
of the filled pdf version.
Also, is it possible to leave the email recipient empty to allow the
form to be sent to different people each time it's filled?
I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional CS3.
Thank you in advance,
FayeC

The answer to my dilemna may be somewhere in the posts I've read; however, so far I have not had luck finding it! PLEASE HELP - Prior to receiving an upgrade to my Adobe Professional 8, I was able to create a form from a WORD or PDF document, "Save As," send the form to a user. The user could then complete the form online, and "Save As," and all the filled in content would remain in the document. Since the upgrade, I have not been able to figure out how to make this happen. The document will work for me; however, the users can fill in the form, but it will not let them save it after it is complete. A good portion of our teams work relies on us being able to provide these types of documents for our customers. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?! or WHY CAN'T I GET THIS TO WORK?!
I am very frustrated, and the Help function in Adobe is not helping!
Thanks...PJ BRAY

Form as PDF file attachment

I am trying to create a cover letter type of PDF file which I can attach with several other PDF files. The recipient will open, fill in fields and return. I seem to have this created but when I manually attach as a single file and send the recipient cannot fill out text fields. If I use the wizard to distribute it does not allow me to attach other files. Not all attached files are in PDF form. Thanks in advance.

Send Adobe form as PDF via E-mail

Hi,
I am doing one interacive adobe form where i need to send that filled form in PDF format via email.
I tried using below options but unfortunately its not working:
1.I used "Email Submit Button" but its sending attachment as XML which I dont want.
when reffred threads on this problem , they suggested to go to XML VIEW of this button and change SUBMIT FORMAT to "pdf" from "xml".... but in this case , that button is not working at all.
2.I used below solution
Use a regular form button: Place a regular form button on your form . Look on the Object Window for the button. On the Field tag, towards the bottom will be a set of "Control Type" radio buttons. Select the "submit" option. There should now be a "submit" tab in the Object window. Switch to the tab and on the "Submit As" pulldown select PDF. But this is also not working.
Your comments are helpful for me.

Hi,
Get your form data in XML format from Interface. There are some standard classes available to convert the XML to PDF and sending mail.
Thanks,
Revanth Naidu

Place the Adobe Form as PDF file in a URL

Hi Experts,
I have created an Adobe form and got the PDF data in the form of XSTRING now I need to place this as PDF file in the URL which I have generated programmatically. Not sure on how to do it. Any function modules or classes to place this as PDF file at a URL will be really helpful for me.
Tried with HTTP* function modules and seems they are not working.
Thanks for you help.

Hi Sai,
Thanks for ur input.
My requirement is not exactly the string with XML data, but the string with PDF data.
I will try to explain my requirement here in detail.
I have the adobe form triggering from the webdynpro. This form has different objects like, text fields, dropdowns, check boxes, radio buttons...etc and one SUBMIT button for which webservice is attached in the properties.
User will fill all the fields and clicks on SUBMIT. When he clicks on the SUBMIT, the webservice should attach the filled PDF document at partner level.
For this purpose, i need the string with PDF data and not the XML.
WIth this PDF string again i should be able to re generate the PDF document which was filled by the user.
If string with PDF data is not possible, Please suggest me the possible way of achieving this?
Regards,
Ram.
