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 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.

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

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).

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.

I'm trying to make a "Submit" button for my existing UIPickerView. Help!

Hi there! I’ve been tearing my hair out and searching the web high and low for an answer to a question I have about UIPickerView. I was hoping that perhaps you could help me out!
I’m trying to make a “Submit” button for my existing UIPickerView.
I’ve coded a 3 column UIPickerView into my app, and it works great. However I’d like to add a “Submit” button and connect it to my pickerview, so that once a user makes their selections and clicks “Submit,” the app searches an existing array for the user’s selected values.
Any help would be appreciated! I hope I explained that okay, lol.
Thanks,
Brittany

Can we have one submit button for mutliple report regions querying same tbl

Hello,
I have a normal multiple report regions in a page with some editable in those regions, these report regions are querying the same table. Now, Is it possible to have one submit button for all the report regions to update the underlying table data?
Can anyone please help me out with this one.
thanks,
Orton

First you'll almost certainly need to roll your own - the built-in stuff is fairly basic and more than likely won't help.
It sounds like your process flow should be something like:
1) Person clicks button.
2) You do a select for update in the process to get the loan id and put it in the person's queue. At this point you may want to flag that column as having been assigned so it can't be assigned again.
3) You then forward them to the form to enter data. Personally I would create my own items and processses and forgo the built-in form stuff but you may be able to use the Automated Row Fetch. If you do your own, you just reference the objects like:
insert into table
values(:P1_1, :P1_2, :P1_3)Edit - Another way would be to use a regular form and insert Stop/Start Tables - so it can look like a different section, but it really is just a label. Thats another option.

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 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.

Need to create a PDF with submit button for Wordpress Website.

I need to create a restaurant's employment application in PDF form with fields that user can fill out and a submit button to send the form to a specified email. I then need to put this PDF online on client's website. Is this possible with ID?

Yes, but you may have to tweak it in Acrobat Pro.
That said, you may be better off just creating the form right in the
site. My guess is that there are a ton of WordPress plugins to do this.

Hi all I am having some dificulty with a submit button for emailing a PDF

I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 to create an order form with a submit by email button at the end.
The button works fine and emails the form to sales@*.ie. My problem is the form is editable by the receipt which I dont want.
Is there a way of creating a pre submit script to change the file to read only or non-interactive and removing the print and submit buttons.
I have been at this for hours and have looked every where and have not found anything.
I am new to this and would appreciate the help.
Thanks

Thanks, That worked
