Submit PDF button

I am having the dardest time trying to get my submit form (entire PDF) button to work on my computer for a contest entry. I have a MAC, but my co-workers who have MACs and PCs have no issue. My other co-worker with a MAC gets the same error message. Can someone tell me if this is a computer settings issue?

Within the Mobile Reader for iOS, a submit form button will work so long as the protocol is mailto: and the format is "entire PDF". While I cannot comment on or commit to features for upcoming releases, I can let you know that extending this limited submit functionality to a wider array of options is of the highest priority in our feature backlog.
Hope this helps,
Darrell

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.

New to Adobe Forms and need help with Submit Email button

I am new to Adobe Forms in Windows. I created a form with a submit email button. When users try to click the button, the message is operation cannot be completed. My test user has Adobe Reader 9 installed. I'm at a loss as to how to resolve the issue. Please assist. TIA!

Three different aspects
1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.

When using the "Save as PDF" button

When using the "Save as PDF" button/function on the "View Responses" page for a selected response will the resulting file be savable locally and printable on 8.5x11" paper?
Also its Help bubble says that is savable as a PDF form. Does it really mean as a PDF file? Because saving it as a form appears to be a different option according to one pricing structure.

When you use the Save as PDF a pdf file if the form is created and saved to your local machine. When you save as PDF you have the option of having the resulting pdf file have a submit button or not have the button. There is also a feature where you can export the form to a template format called FCDT.

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

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.

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

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

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!!

How to remove "submit form" button that's generated when distributing form without Designer

When I open it in Designer to delete the image all of my java gets screwed up, so I'm hoping there is a solution that doesn't involve updating all of the code. I'm using PDF Expert 5 and Box because adobe's reader is absolute garbage.
Thank you in advance!

Sorry for not being clear, LC Designer.
Here is a screenshot of the submit form button in a blank form that's automatically inserted when distributing. If I open it in LC Designer I can remove the submit form button but it screws up all java and formatting. (sorry for not inserting an image or link, adobe'ss forums are about as well developed as its software)

Remove the 'Submit Form' button.

I would like to know how to remove the 'Submit Form' button of a writable pdf please as I don't want my users to see this and use it.

I'm going to assume you mean the one that appears in the document message bar when you use the Distribute Form process. If you don't want your users to submit, you can instead simply Reader-enable the form (if needed for pre-11 Reader users) and make the form available to your users.

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.

Adding a print button, a "download" PDF button and a navigation bar in a SWF created by InDesign

I can't find a way to add "PDF features" on a SWF file exported from InDesign CS5.5 such as:
- a print button
- a download PDF button
- a navigation bar (outside of the pages)
edocker provides these features but it is pretty expensive and does not allow a lot of customization.
Would anyone have an idea of how to do it ?
Thank you.

eDocker actually allows you to use all the interactive features you can create in InDesign. It kind of "wraps" your exported SWF into a user interface with all those 3 elements asked + more (zoom for instance)
Check out these links:

The 'close pdf' button gone in cs 5.5

hi
I have indesign cs3 files utilising the interactive buttons and are then exported to pdf. I have upgraded to cs5.5 and the 'close pdf' button I created in cs3 no longer works. On double checking the button panel, the option for 'next page, previous page, etc' is still there but the 'close' option is gone. This means the close button on every page of the 24 page documents no longer works. These files are outputed to pdf. Why has this been removed. This is the second button option removed in the cs5.5 upgarde. We lost the email to a friend option 'attached to email' in acrobat and now functions are missing in inDesign!
Beside our clients still wanting this function, there is no way you can close a full page pdf (without menu bar) unless clicking the Esc button on your keybaord. If you are on a tablet it is then really awkard

I did that with Acrobat 10. Are you using Acrobat 8 or 9? This is a quote from Acrobat 8 help:
Select the form field that you want to duplicate.
Choose Forms > Edit Fields > Duplicate.
Note: The Duplicate command isn’t available for forms with only one page.
Do one of the following:
To duplicate the form field on every page in the form, select All, and click OK.
To duplicate the form field on a limited range of pages, click the From button, and type the start and ending pages on which you want the form field to appear.
Note: Including or not including the page on which the form field originally appears doesn’t affect the duplication process. Including that page won’t create a second copy on top of the original one, and not including it won’t remove the original form field.
