Submit button email pdf issue

Good day all,
I have made a PDF form with Livecycle Designer ES and ran into a problem.
Found out how to insert a button that sends the form by email, as PDF file attachment, so far so good.
One problem, my form which consists of several text fields, a drop down list and several radio button groups, is sent but only the first radio button group is filled in the attachment, the rest is simply empty...
Maybe one of you guys guide me in the right direction, I'm lost.
best regards,
Henk van den Berg

You made me think...... wrapping them in sub-forms...
I tried to go with the original radio buttons, wrapped the pairs up in individual sub-forms and it works prefect now!
The manual says nothing about this issue, nevertheless many thanks for pointing me towards a good solution man.
best regards,
Henk van den Berg

How to remove submit buttons on workspace and use submit buttons on PDF instead?

I am working with LiveCycle ES2. I will get submit buttons automatically render on workspace according to routes i designed after User component. However, I do not want that submit buttons on Flex. I would like to use submit buttons on PDF as designing in LiveCycle Designer.
Could you please give a suggestion on this?
Mac

You would also want to ensure that the Adobe LiveCycle Form Bridge is not on the form.
Here are some scenarios, from the Workbench help, which may help:
If your process uses Adobe XML forms (XDP files), you can render the form to PDF and then use the Inject Form Bridge operation. To render to PDF, you use the renderPDFForm operation that the Forms service provides.
Workspace ES provides a Complete button that users click to submit their forms. However, forms can also include submit buttons. When the Inject Form Bridge operation is used on a form, Workspace ES either hides the submit button, or disables the Complete button.
Form design
Result
Design: The form includes no submit button.
Result: Workspace ES disables the Complete button and users cannot submit the form.
Design: The form includes one submit button.
Result? Workspace ES hides the submit button and enables the Workspace ES Complete button.
Design: The form includes a button (indirect submit) that points to a submit button (direct submit)
Indirect-submit buttons always take precedence over direct-submit buttons, even if multiple submit buttons exist. Workspace ES always shows the indirect submit buttons.
Result: Workspace ES hides the submit button and enables the Workspace ES Complete button.
Design: The form includes multiple indirect-submit buttons that point to one or more direct-submit buttons.
Results: Workspace ES disables the Workspace ES Complete button. The user must click the appropriate button on the form to submit it.
The user can still save a draft version of the form or take the form offline
Design: The form includes either an indirect- or direct-submit button in a repeating subform.
Result: Workspace ES excludes these buttons for submitting the form in Workspace ES.
Note: When the submit button that was added to the form design with the Process Fields form object to the form design is hidden, the button still provides the functionality for submitting the form.
Submit requests are handled by Workspace ES, which acts as an intermediary between the LiveCycle ES server and the form. Also, forms can be used both offline and online.
Hope that helps.

Email submit button - email subject doesn't work

I have a form I created in Livecycle. I have an email submit button.
The properties of the button let me change the subject of the email. But no matter what I set that to, when the button is click it will only send the form saying "Submitting Completed Form"
I cannot get it to change to anything else!
I am using a manual distribution method (also when saving it will let me rename the form, but then just creates a _distributed.pdf file that is the same name as the form).
Also the email to never changes. I can set it to whatever I like, but when I distribute, it will also go to the person designated when I made the form.
I'm using ES2 on Win 7 64 bit.

What type of CC are you using. The only supported ones are Master Card and Visa. If you are using a different one then it will not allow you to use the Submit. I appolgize, I want to be sure of the issue.
If you are still having problems the next step is a partial erase on the device. Here is a link on how to do that process:

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:,

Acrobat extended pro - Submit by Email form issue

I have downloaded a trial version of Acrobat Extended Pro that I am reviewing to purchase for work. I am trialling the creation of a form that I want users to submit via email. - I want the completed PDF to be submitted in the email, which the help information states can be done. I have placed the Submit by Email button on the form, but I don't have the option of selecting the 'Submit' tab to be able state that I want the completed PDF to go in the email. Is it because I'm using a trial version or is there something else I am doing incorrectly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

George,
Thanks But when I go to the Reader Extended PDF option under Save As the Three options that appear are grayed out? Any Idea how to fix that?

Submit button for PDF

The submit button on my PDF form (Acobat X pro) no longer works. I created a submit button for a PDF form about two months ago and it worked then, but it is no longer working. Applicants fill the form out and email it back to us as an email attachment.
Is there a limit to the amount of forms that can be sent to us? I would appreciate suggestions.

You say it's Reader-enabled, but that you didn't do FIle > Save As ...
This is the process that causes it to be Reader-enabled, though putting it through the Distribute Form process does as well.
What Reader-enabling does is allow Reader to save a filled-in document. It otherwise cannot, though it can fill. print, and submit (form/comment data only). Reader 11 changes this though as it is able to save a non-enabled form, but not everyone will have Reader 11 so you shouldn't count on it being used.
If you distribute an enabled form that was enabled with Acrobat (as opposed to LiveCycle Reader Extensions), then you are limited by the Acrobat License Agreement from using data form no more than 500 instances of the form that has been returned to you, including hardcopies. Removing the submit button would make no difference.
A different approach though that will make everything more reliable is to set up the form to be used with Adobe's FormsCentral. Submitting by email is fraught with problems, but submitting to a web server as with FormsCentral eliminates all that. It allows essentially an unlimited number of submissions, though the data table will only show 5000 at a time. It makes it easy to get at the form data, which is more convenient than with Acrobat. It also allows you to generate a copy of the filled-in form for a particular submission if you ever want one. It provides the user some feedback when the form is successfully submitted, unlike email. When you distribute a PDF via FormsCentral, it Reader-enables the form and you can then distribute it via email, web site, or some other means. It's also very reasonably priced. It can be set up to send you and others an email notification whenever anyone submits a form. It can also send the user a notification that it was received, as long as they include their email address in a field on the form. No, I don't stand to benefit from you using FormsCentral, though I heard I might get a gift card for referring folks.
Seriously though, it really is a nice service that you should consider.

Submit Button for PDF Fillable Form

Hello -
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.
I am developing a fillable employment application for our HR department. Initially, I thought we could add the option to "submit" the form via email. However, now I am rethinking this due to a few issues. The first issue being security of sending it through email. The other issue is that when you click on the Submit button it brings up various options depending on if you are on a Mac or PC and depending on what email client you are using (desktop or webmail).
Is there any way to send a form via email without it bringing up the option to choose desktop email or webmail and going through all of the prompts? We want to make it user-friendly but also follow best practices.
Is it a better practice to have the applicant fill out the form, print it and then fax it to HR? I am looking for suggestions and solutions that have worked well for others.
Many thanks!!

Since you will likely have no control over your user's email client, there's little you can do to ensure the process goes smoothly. Not only is email generally unsecure, it is also unreliable. Some users might not even have a functioning local email cleint, and instead use a web based email system, in which case they have to manually attach it to an email that they initiate.
What is more reliable and easily secured is submitting to a web server, which can do the job of storing the form data (or complete forms) or emailing them. This is a bit more complex since the server has to be programmed to process the incoming submission and return a response, but it really is the better approach.
Faxing or mailing a printed copy is always an option and it can at least cut down on errors due to bad handwriting or inconsistencies (e.g., checking both the Yes and No check box for a question).

Submit button/interactive pdf

I've created an interactive form with a submit button. When I open the pdf in Reader and hit submit, it looks like it it going to send and then I get a popup that says "Authentication failed. Please verify your username and password." I currently use gmail as my email sender. How can I get this to work?

yes, as it said in the dialog, you have to attach the signed PDF by hand. But Gmail can be viewed In Apple Mail, i dont know but almost sure you can configure Outlook to send and recieve Gmail.

Schedule appointment in outlook with submit button in pdf form

Hi All,
One of our client wants that when submit button is clicked on the pdf form, an appointment should be created in outlook of a pre-specified email address.
I am aware that we can submit the form by email. Is it somehow possible, that instead of normal email with attachment, we can send an appointment email.
Looking forward to a response.
Many Thanks,
Akanksha

I don't think this is possible. The only thing you can do from
Acrobat/Reader is create a new email draft, not anything else.

URL submit button for PDF

Where is the URL input for the submit button. I only see the option for Email and internal server. Thanks
Wesley

Hi Wesley,
There is no way to edit the html for the Submit button. The button only shows up on the form when you open the form on the web (Distribute), or when you upload a PDF and have it enabled for data collection, at which point FormsCentral adds a Submit button to your PDF form on the page and location you identify.
I hope that helps... let me know if I missed your meaning,
Brian

Cannot Change Identities / Email where Submit button emails responses to

I have created, entiriely, in LiveCycle a form. When it is distributed it AUTOMATICALLY inserts my own email to where the repsonses go to. Cannot - REPEAT CANNOT- Alter it.
THIS IS NOT THE SUBMIT BUTTON THAT YOU PUT INTO A FORM.
This is the "Submit" that is automatically generated and put into the PDF TAB when a form is distributed.
I've gone into Acrobat / LiveCycle and changed "identies" but the response STILL goes to my Email. It NEVER picks up my changed Identity - and shows my own email and not the one I want responses sent to.
Rebooted after chainging Identities - STILL goes to my email.
Edited in the Acrobat - STILL - goes to my email - SUBMIT button (automatically created when you distribute the form) ALWAYS says to send to my email.
Edit the options/properties to change - MY EMAIL IS GREYED OUT AND CANNOT ALTER IT IN THE DISTIBUTON panel where you can select options as how the form is distrubited - selecting EMAIL response to form submission.
It ALWAYS SHOWS my Active Directoy LOGON ID as the form OWNER - CANNOT CHANGE IT.
We are IN an Active Directory environemnt and my logon account has NO RIGHTS to change MASTER registry Win7 entries at all - only (like normal) my own preferences - BUT LIVE CYCLE / ADOBE DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING with email at all concerning the auto email sent to portion. I can change "sent by" but NOT who I want responses sent to.
Cannot FIND at all any XML preferences file in registry / file system to hack and manually change it.
You look at the XML data in the form and it shows my email address - AND ALL XML data is BLOCKED from being edit at all in the form - and NO idea where it is pulling this information from.
Is there ANY WAY at all to change --- WITHOUT WRITING ANY CODE - to alter where a distributed form is to send email repsonses to.
CANNOT, REPEAT CANNOT - use any cloud, online or any external source at all. Cannot use Acrobat.com.
Thanks,
Tom

The email address is coded into the server script file that processes the form data.
Look for the below file on the server and see if you can open it and locate the email address. It's a Cold Fusion file
act_email.cfm

Submit Button for PDF Form

Good Morning All,
I have created a simple form in Live Cycle with a submit button. Originally, I placed a "Submit by E-Mail" button and found that wasn't working at all. Then I tried placing a button and reconfiguring it as a submit button. The button I reated has the correct group e-mail address I want the form submitted to - the department's generic e-mail address. When I go to test the form it defaults back to my e-mail address. This is driving me crazy. What am I doing wrong???? Help, anyone.

Add redirect to Submit button on PDF Form

I need someone that knows javascript to help me out!
I have saved the FormsCentral PDF Form locally and opened it up with Acrobat Pro XI, saved it as a copy, and then opened the new document in Acrobat Pro XI. I am able to see the javascript that the FormsCentral Submit button placed in the form.
How can I get the submit button to do what it is supposed to do (below), but then when its completed it should redirect to a different web page that I specify in the javascript code - in the SAME window, not in a new window.
The submit button javascript code looks like this:
var url = 'https://adobeformscentral.com/pdfsubmit?f=bbbbbbbbbbbb';
var qParams = '&os=' + app.platform + '&sl=' + app.language + '&spv=1';
var fIndex = url.indexOf('#FDF');
url = url.substr(0, fIndex) + qParams + url.substr(fIndex);
var charset = 'utf-8';
if (app.language == 'JPN')
charset = 'Shift-JIS';
this.submitForm({cURL:url, cSubmitAs:'HTML', cCharset:charset});
Do I need to add a location.href = "http://mydomain.com/completedpdf"; to make the current window then load the completedpdf web page? And how do I add the command to the end of this javascript?
Or is there some other javascript I should use?
Thank you for your help!

This is a question that is better suited for the Acrobat forums.

Adobe form submit button to pdf or word doc

Hey I was wondering if it was possible to create an adobe form with a submit button that generates a pdf or word doc letter with the information.

Hi Prasanna,
in any clien machine where you want to get the Adobe output displayed you need to have
1. Adobe Reader Version 6.0.2+
2. IE 5.5+ or Netscape 7+
3. ACF (Active Control Framework) installed
4. ActiveX controls enabled in the Client Browser.
Please try these, it should work.
Hope it helps
