Submit by email doesn't work in Acrobat Reader to send PDF

I am making a fillable PDF and users on Acrobat Reader cannot email pdf, only data file. I need them to be able to send a pdf. What am I doing wrong?

Don't use the regular "'submit by email button." If you use this button, you can only submit the data as XML. Instead, make your own button.
In the Object library under Standard objects, click and drag a plain button to your form. Change the Control Type to Submit. Now you should have a new tab called Submit with a "submit to URL" option.  In that field type the return email address in the following format:  mailto:[email protected]  Toward the bottom of the same option, there is a field that says "submit" and the choice is XML data package.  Change that to PDF.  Then change the name of the button to "Submit by Email."  Now when you preview your form and click the Submit by Email button, it should mail the completed form as a PDF instead of simply mailing the raw data.

  • Submit by Email won't work with Adobe Reader 6

    I have created a form that must be submitted back to our corporate offices, the problem is the people it is being sent to may be running Adobe Reader 6. When I try to use the submit by email button in version 6 nothing happens. The form works fine in the newer Adobe. Any help saving this to work for the older version would be great. Thanks!

    You have enable Reader Rights with Acrobat 8 Professional (prior versions will not work), pay a 3rd party or buy Adobe's server product.

  • "Providing interactive database lookup from forms" sample doesn't work with Acrobat Reader 7

    I have downloaded and tested the Adobe sample "Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0, Providing interactive database lookup from forms". Everything works great in Acrobat Professional Full version, however, when I tested it in Acrobat Reader 7.0.5, it generated a "script failed..." message.
    Did anybody have the same problem? You can download the sample from here:

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi Jie,
    Database connectivity is a feature supported in Acrobat only , not Reader--unless the PDF has been extended with Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions.

  • Can Designer create a submit button that works in Acrobat Reader

    Just got Adobe Professional 7.0 for Windows XP. Was able to design a form in Professional that works in Acrobat Reader (the majority of my users do not have the full product). To do this I set the email button to export the data in a .fdf format. I received the full form as an attachment in my email.
    I then brought up the form in Designer 7.0 to use its expanded design capability. The button choices for the email submit button did not allow me to select a format and the saved file would not work in Adobe Reader. I then changed the button to a plain button using the submit control type. I found several submit format choices (XML, PDF, etc.). I saved the file in a variety of the choices but could not get Adobe Reader to send the format versions. FDF was not a choice. XML works but I would rather see the full form directly as an email attachment instead of taking the extra step of importing the XML data into the form
    Anybody have a work around?

    Andrej -
    Can you be more specific about what is needed and how to do it? I just downloaded the trial version of Designer and Document Server 6. I've created the form with a submit button but it ain't working.
    I want the "Submit by email" button to do just that - send the viewable .pdf (not just the data).
    To take a step back - I can't even get the darn button to send anything. I have the info entered correctly in Designer but when the buttons clicked, an error msg. reads: "An error occured while sending mail". That tells me a whole lot of nothing. Is it because it's the trial version, or is there something else going on?
    Anyway can you explain how to use Reader Extension Server in conjunction with Designer?
    Thanks -

  • HP Photosmart 6520 Server Connection Error: -1: Apps don't work and Scan to email doesn't work

    My HP PhotoSmart 6520 has a persistent error to connect to the server and therefore Apps and Scan to email doesn't work.
    I have manually set DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, I have installed latest driver on my Macbook pro, I have updated firmware, but still not working. Weird is also that in my ePrintCenter, the Apps I see there are not in line with thos visible on the printer.
    Detail is that I have set up the printer on a Windows PC but recently changed to Mac.
    Printing, scan to Computer all works fine.
    Help! I have read a lot on forums but so far no solution for me!

    Hi Jack6520,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are unable to connect to the apps and use the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 6520 printer due to a server connection error.
    First off, thank you for the very detailed information, I really appreciate it.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
    When you set the manual DNS servers, did you also set a manual IP address for the printer?
    Have you changed routers or internet service providers recently?  Have you updated the firmware on the router? If you have an ISP-provided router, do you know if they pushed out a firmware update?
    Have you recently installed any new anti-virus/malware software?  If so it may have blocked the ports the printer uses to communicate.  I’ve included a post by VisionAiry titled “Check the Anti-Virus for Blocked Ports and Timed Scans”. 
    Do you have a guest network setup? Please Print a Network Configuration page. It will let you know how many networks the printer sees. A guest network will have the same name as your network with a tag about it being the guest network.
    Previously did you customize the printer’s ePrint email address? I’m asking this because I might ask you to disable then enable the web services.  If we have to take this step you will lose the customized ePrint email address without any ability to get it back.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using? whatsmyos.com
    Are there any cables other than the power cable connected to the printer?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

    If Adobe developers want to solve this problem, I am available for any trial or details (also source code that it works with Acrobat 9 and it doesn't work from Acrobat X).
    Regards

    This is a place for developers to help each other. If you want to contact developer support (of course, you will not reach actual developers of the product), you can pay to raise a support case. I can tell you their first question: does it work with Acrobat XI? There will be no fixes for Acrobat X.

  • On my IPad email doesn't work anymore. I can't receive or send mails anymore.

    My IPad, 18 GB, ioS 8.02
    I don't know why, but all of a sudden my email doesn't work at all anymore. I can't send or receive mails. When I push the icon mail button, I see only a blank page. I see only the first line for answering, forwarding or writing new mails. But if I try to push one of those buttons, nothing happens.
    My IPad knowledge is not so good. So I didn't try anything to repare it.
    i would appreciate your help very much.

    Consider updating iOS to 8.2
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Delete and re-add the email account.

    I upgraded to Yosemite and now my outgoing email doesn't work.  What should I do?

    Try removing the email account in Mail's preferences. Then re-configure a new account with the correct information. Be sure you know what that information needs to be for your account.
    You can also just check your outgoing mail setup and be sure it's correct.

  • Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
    I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
    Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

  • Web Dynpro dropdown doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8

    Hi All,
    I've developed a Web Dynpro project which uses Interactive form.
    The form has a dropdown (simple type from WDJ).
    The dropdown works for Adobe Reader 7 but doesn't work for Adobe Reader 8 (when I press the arrow to open the list nothing happens).
    Do I need to config/install something for supporting Adobe Reader 8?
    I'm using J2EE 7.13.
    Thanks,

    Dear Omri,
    Make sure that you are using Adobe Reader 8.1.1.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Email button doesn't work with Adobe Reader, only Acrobat

    Hi,
    I'm new to Adobe products and don't have much experience. Here's my problem.
    I used LiveCycle Designer ES2 to create a fillable PDF form, with an email submit button. (uses mailto: to open users Outlook and attaches the pdf automatically)
    The form is viewable by all, but the email button only works if opened with Acrobat.
    Is there a way to have this work with Reader? We obviously don't have Acrobat licenses for every user.
    Any support or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The problem is deeper than that. It's not reader. Now the same form I was creating in LifeCycle Designer ES2 yesterday, with the actions working perfectly, no longer work. None of the actions are working.
    Could it be realted to me trying to set the default version compatibility to Adobe 7. It gave me warnings, so I set it back to 9.
    Any help would be appreciated.
