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.

Modifying the appearance of the search box, the search button, and the submit button for web forms

I'm trying to modify the appearance of the search box, the search button, and the submit button for web forms by modifying the CSS on Stylesheets. None of the tags I'm using (e.g. .webform .cat_button) seem to be working. What are the correct tags for those three elements?

When you generate the help you can select / deselect the buttons that are displayed.

How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

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).

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:,

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.

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,

Submit Button for Email Form

I have searched the forum (my apologies if I missed the
correct solution) and have done my fair share of Googling on this
topic to no avail.
Is there a "simple" solution to setting up a submit button to
send a form to email.
I have the action of the form as mailto:myemailaddress.com
Method set to "Get"
Enctype set to "text/plain"
When I test to submit button it provides a popup window with
a warning indicating the senders email address will be divulged. I
click OK and a new window popsup for my yahoo sign in. I suppose
this would happen as the default email interface used. However, the
form isn't sent.
Any solutions would be very helpful. Thanks
P.S. I use DW 8

This is posted here 2-5 times a week -
There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of
method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/,
or if your server supports PHP,
you could investigate
http://www.geekministry.com/formbuilder/,
a very nice
product by a frequent poster here.
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
carefully.

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.

Submit button for online PDF form doesn't work for some users

Two online forms I've created in LiveCycle Designer 8.2 work fine for me. But when some of my site's users click on the Submit button in either form, it simply flashes and then does nothing. It's a standard Submit button with a Mailto link. The documents are PDF Version 1.7, and I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4. Any suggestions on troubleshooting would be great.

Has this form been enabled with Form Rights for Reader. If the entire PDF is submitted, then the PDF must be Reader enabled to operate on Reader.
Another issue is that an email submit is entirely dependant on the user's system. There must be a local email client installed and registered with the system. Internet email will not work. This is the most likely issue. Althougth there are other things that could be wrong. You might want to consider using the Acrobat.com to distribute your forms. This method gets around the email issue for most users.
Other issues that could cause this problem are the users' version of Acrobat/Reader as well as any kind of funky system/security setup.

How do i add a submit button to a form

ho do i add a submit button to a form.

Hi;
If you are using the FormsCenral website to create a form it will have a submit button by default for the HTML (web) form and also by default it you are saving as PDF (there is an option to create a PDF without Submit, but by default it does submit to FormsCentral).
If you are using the FormsCentral desktop application that is bundled with Acrobat XI you would have to sign into the service to create forms with Submit buttons. You can also create a form without submit button in FormsCentral Desktop and then edit the form in Acrobat XI adding a submit button using your preferred submit method such as by email.
Let me know if you need more information on either of these, it will be easier to assist knowing more about what you are using.
Thanks,
Josh
PS - if this is a question about adding a submit button in Acrobat not related to FormsCentral your question would be best asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

How do I get to the Submit button on my form?

I have finished my first form but can not find how to get to the submit button on the form to add where I want the form to go - how do I get an email address attached to the form?

Hi Amy;
A FormsCentral form can be either a web form users fill out in a web browser, or a PDF form (can also be distributed both ways).
For a Web form the data is always collected by the Adobe FormsCentral servers and is available to view/analyze in your account on the View Responses tab of the form. There are also options to set up Email Reciepts (to the form filler) and Email Notifications (to you and other users you specify) that can contain the form data.
For a PDF form you have the option of the Submit button that submits the data to FormsCentral the same as the Web form, and the same Notifications and Reciept options apply here too. Alternatively you create a PDF in FormsCentral to use however you'd like and can edit in Acrobat and add your own Submit button that emails the PDF or form data back to you directly. There are a number of tutorials online for adding email "Submit" buttons to PDF and if you are going to edit a FormsCentral PDF you would want to look at this FAQ as well: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
I hope that helps, let me know if you still have questions.
Thanks,
Josh
