Submit Form Button Acrobat X Pro Mac

I used Acrobat X Pro for the first time a couple of months ago. I created a form and when I was finished there was a Submit Form button in the purple field at the top of the document next to the Highlight Existing Fields button, and the text to the left of the buttons said "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click Submit Form to return the completed form. You can save data typed in this form.". I did not create any buttons on this form manually. I want to do this again for another form but I cannot figure out how I did it the first time. I have seen discussions on how to create a submit button, but I cannot get that to work either. Plus I think the Submit Form button looks nicer anyway. Please Help!!
What I Need:
- a pdf form with a submit button that will email me a copy of the completed form when pressed
- the person filling out the form also needs to be able save a copy for themselves
My System:
Macbook Pro OS X 10.6.7
Office 2011 for Mac 14.0
Acrobat X for Mac 10.0.2

I just did what it sounds like you want to do using these instructions for Acrobat Pro 9. Here is the link: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3593E0A4-C5E2-4cde-A09E-2A984346DDD2.w. html
To make it so your user can save a copy go to the Advanced Tab and click on Extend Features in Adobe Reader. That should do it. Good Luck.
Best,
Lisa

Is it possible to remove the submit form button that's automatically created when you distribute a form?

I have created a form for my boss and distributed it. She doesn't want the submit form button to appear as people don't need to submit the form to anyone, just fill it in and keep a copy. I can't figure out how to remove this button. It's not one I've created, it's the one that it automatically generates when you don't have a submit button in your form. Is it possible to remove this button or do we just have to live with it? I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks

You can have more control on the email subject/ to and CC Email address, if you use a regular button and place the code in the click event.
Refer to the attached sample below.

Hiding the "Submit Form" button in Reader

I am referring to the "Submit Form" button that is part of the application (just to the right of the Highlight Fields button) rather than one that appears on the PDF document itself.
This is for a PDF form for a company with many branches.
I want to create a form that users can fill out and save in Reader, but I don't want them to submit it electronically, because I need them to provide a photo as well. I just want them to save the filled-out form and then email it together with a photo to their local branch manager, and I do not have a complete list of branch managers; I am assuming that the user knows the email address of their branch manager. So I either want to hide the Submit Form botton or change it to Save Form.
I am trying this on a PC (specifically Acrobat 9, Acrobat Reader 9 and Windows Vista Home Premium), and also on a Mac. On both platforms, when I take an existing form and distribute it to get one that can be filled out n Reader, Acrobat generates a form that Reader displays with the Submit Form button.

Here is the answer to my own question. Don't use Distribute Form to generate the Reader-enabled form. Instead, in Acrobat 9, go to Advanced --> Extend Forms Fill-in and Save in Adobe Reader to generate the form. In Acrobat X, go to File>Save as.

How do I remove the Submit Form button?

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 with LiveCycle. I have created an interactive form and did not include a button to e-mail the form. When the distributed form is opened, there is a purple bar across the top with instructions to click "Submit Form" and "Highlight Fields" and "Submit Form" buttons. I do not want this form e-mailed back to me. It just needs to be saved by the user and uploaded at a later time. Saving it after the user fills in the fields is not the issue. That is working fine. But the user may be confused by a button saying they should submit the form. Plus it is my e-mail address in the field and I don't want all these forms showing up in my e-mail box. This happens whether I choose to distribute it with "Automatically download..." or "Manually collect..."
Does anyone know what can be done to prevent the form from displaying the "Submit Form" button?
Also, one user did get get a warning when saving about that not being the optimal way to send the data. I believe it said to press submit form. I'm sorry, I was not relayed the exact warning, but it was something to that effect. It did, however, save correctly.

Pzaidel: YOU are a freakin genius. Great suggestion-worked perfectly! Here's how I did it with a form created in Indesign:
Do entire backgrnd layout in Indesign-convert to regular PDF.
Open New doc in LC-standard way-create all fields.
After completion when you open it in Adobe Acrobat, you will see the "Submit Form" at the top next to "Highlight existing fields".
Go back to your LiveCycle doc and:
Highlight and ctrl+c copy all fields onto clipboard. [I don't think there is an option to copy fields anywhere within LC]
Do as Pzaidel suggests above: create new LC form [you cannot avoid selecting interactive form....but didn't seem to matter].
Import your PDF layout from InDesign [or word].
THEN Paste all fields back into form.
TA DA! No submit button.
AND after importing and placing all fields, I even included a print button that works on the bottom of the form so anyone could see-it must be printed and cannot be submitted-at least by a button.
Thanks so much for the fix!!

Flattening a stamp in Acrobat 9 Pro (mac)

I use a stamp for my signature in Acrobat 9 Pro (mac). After placing my stamp signature, resizing and placing on the signature line where I want it, I have been using "Preflight" and "Flatten Annotations and Form Fields" to flatten my stamp so it prints/exports/emails with the signature firmly placed.
However, recently, when I use that preflight setting the stamp is re-enlarged to the full size (from when I placed it) and moved to the middle of the document. The process is completely unusable.
Does anybody know what I am either doing wrong or what needs fixing?
I confirmed this in multiple documents.
Thanks.

Have you tried flattening using PDF Optimizer (under Dischard objects)?
Another tool you can use can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

EMail completed form in Acrobat 10 Pro

I created a form in Acrobat 10 Pro with an EMail button. The problem is, when it sends the email, it sends a complet copy of the form in editable format. All I want it to send is what the form would look like when you print it and not be able to edit it. How can I do that.

You can add a signature field and have the user's use the digital signature to sign the form and as part of that action lock the fields
Or you can add JavaScript code to lock the fields before emaiilng the PDF.

Submit form button on fill in form

How do I change default message in email in the submit form button? It says "form attached"' etc.
I tried java script and it worked for most, but iPad users couldn't select the button

thank you for your response. I really don't want to customize the form, I just wanted to know if there is a way to modify the default language in the email message from the submit button. The body says:
Form Returned: Class-Reg-Test-09-04-12.pdf
The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
Thanks - I am looking into an Acrobat class.

"Submit Form" button automatically created when opening form in non-adobe program

I tried browsing the forum for a solution to getting rid of this annoying automatic button but got nothing. It gets generated on the body of the form (top right) when I publish for distribution using any method for collection. I'm using pdf expert 5 to fill and submit forms because adobe reader doesn't do what I need how I need it. Everything is perfect except for that annoying submit form button that specifies submitting by email because 'user is not using reader or acrobat version whatever'.
Anyone know how to get rid of this button?
Thanks!

Yes, that is correct.
I did not manually add this button, so I am assuming it was somehow automatically created.
It worked great up until now that I need to change the "To:" email address.
I've look through the XML code associated this this email address and changed it every where I could find it, but it still hasn't changed my results. So, I have no idea how to change this and as stated above, if I create a new form it automatically sets it up to be sent to the wrong email address. Not sure why or how to change it?
Let me know if you need further info to help me out.
Thanks again

Acrobat XI Pro Mac: Changing Text Color moves Text within Paragraph

Dear Acrobat Experts!
I've been using Acrobat Pro for over a decade now (Win and Mac) - but Acrobat XI Pro Mac shows some behavior I cannot deal with:
When I'm changing text color of say a couple of words within a paragraph, usually the formatting changes and text is being moved/shifted. It looks like the text with altered color requires more space and consequently the following words are shifted which very often ruins the whole formatting. This makes Acrobat XI for me nearly unusable, I had never a behavior like this in former Acrobat versions (Win or Mac).
I cannot believe that this is "normal" - so what's the mistake I'm making? For illustration please see the two screenshots I included.
I'm looking forward to your helpful comments!
Oliver

Hi Sukrit!
Thanks for your assistance.
This is the first and only Acrobat version ever I had this problem with. I am running Acrobat Version 11.0.10 under Mac OS X 10.10.3 Yosemite on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina display. I am working on Mac only since Acrobat Pro 7 - the versions before were Windows.
So I cannot comment on Acrobat XI Pro Win.
This is happening with all of my PDF docs - regardless of origin (textbook, scientific journal, or PDFs I generated by myself as export from office applications etc.).
The only difference is the amount of changes to the formatting (shifting of text).
To illustrate my workflow I generated a screencast and uploaded it here:
<Dropbox - Acrobat_XI_Pro_Mac_3.mp4>
Looking forward to hear from you again!
Oliver

Distributed form missing "automatic" Submit Form button

I am going crazy and running out of time.
I created a form in Acrobat. I distributed the form using SharePoint. It worked great. For me and my test user. I sent the distributed file to my boss so she could try it and there was no Submit Form button. The purple forms bar was there; Highlight Fields was there; there was no Submit Form button. I tried it on another user's computer and no Submit Form was there. I tried it on our terminal server with a test user (set up like a standard user), and there was a Submit Form button. I tried it on a computer outside our network and no Submit Form button was there. I also had my boss try it in the terminal server (known working computer) and no Submit Form button was there.
I have looked around the net and found a JavaScript reference that hid a Submit Form button, but that is a different, ugly, email-only button meant for backwards-compatibility.
This is so effing frustrating. I can't find a single reason the Submit Form button will show up for some and not others.
I submitted it via e-mail. I open it within Terminal Services, logged in as me, and the Submit button wasn't there. I open it with my Test user (a standard user, not admin or anything) and the Submit button is there. I open it on my local machine and the Submit button is there. WTF IS GOING ON, ADOBE??? I am so frustrated right now.

On this machine I only have AA5. I was able to open the first form, but saw no submit button anywhere. The second form would not open. I might try it with AA7 a bit later (the only versions I have at home).
I was able to check the various radio buttons and type in the text boxes. The text boxes seem to wrap correctly.
I assume folks will be fine with the exceeds expectations being on the left. In many surveys, the best is on the right and not on the left. However, I am not sure there is any standard for that and you have been consistent. I was wondering how you were going to take care of the signatures. It looks like you are going to do them by hand - I guess the advantage is that all the signers would see the entire evaluation before signing. The alternative would be to introduce digital signatures in some sense, possibly using the Acrobat route.
Again, I see no submit button. Bill

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

When I try to use the Submit Form button on the Interactive PDF I created (IN Design CS6) I get this message. "There is no value in form field 'Program.' Please put in it before proceeding. What can I do to fix this and make the Submit button work?

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

Are Distributed Forms created in Acrobat XI Pro compatible with Response Forms in Acrobat X Pro?

I want to be able to use distributed forms (created in Acrobat XI Pro) that I have received back through email with Acrobat X Pro. That is, I want to be able to import the form information that is being sent back to me into a response form in Acrobat X Pro. Is this kind of "forward-compatible" issue possible?
Or, since I created the distributed forms in Acrobat XI Pro, can I only import data from those forms in an appropriate response from in Acrobat XI Pro?
Thanks!

The distribution technique for email, network folder, or internal server haven't changed between Acrobat X and XI so you should be able to do this; however, it won't be managed through Tracker because you're distributing the form through different programs.

Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address?

I've created a pdf form using Adobe Live Cycle ES 8.2 and it has been working fine. Now I need to change the email address it gets sent to when the user clicks on the "Submit Form" button.
How can I change this email address?
Thank you in advance
