Submitted form emtpy under Acrobat Reader 9 (Mac OS X only)

Hi
I have a problem sending a form by a submit button (also by scripting) to a webserver. I'd like to submit the form as a PDF (not FDF or anything else).
I either used a submit button or code like below:
> this.submitForm({ cURL: "sample.org/inbox", cSubmitAs: "PDF"});
The submit itself seems to work fine, but the submitted form is not posted as a document, but only the request with empty body is sent.
b This only happens on Adobe Reader 9 on Mac OS X!
The same document sent on a Windows Adobe Reader 8/9 works fine and sends the entire document.
This thread is related to http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6abf5, but I now realized the problem appears only under Mac OS X and not under Windows.
Did anybody make similar experiences or has a solution for the problem? Is it maybe a security thing?
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Hi Onewizard,
I tried and checked this on different version of Acrobat and Reader however not able to replicate this behavior. I am on MAC 10.6.8

How to use Acrobat 9 standard to create a PDF form that an Acrobat reader can save

Hi,
I'm evaluating Acrobat 9 standard edition. I want to create a PDF with a form that allow Acrobat Reader users to fill in the form and save to their local machine.
I looked at "Can I save a filled out PDF form using the free Adobe Reader? "
However, it refers to version 8 and has a link to another page that states to look in Acrobat 8 help. Well I can't anything for how to create right-enable PDF in the help.
How can I do this in Acrobat 9?
Thanks.

I think that the right's enabling was added to AA9 Std. It was not part of AA8 Std as far as I know. However, you need to read the restrictions on the use of the reader rights. There is a 500 form use limit. If you exceed that limit you are supposed to contact Adobe for negotiations for further use. I do not think those restrictions have changed with AA9, but read the EULA to check it out.

Help me configure my webserver to accept completed .pdf forms via free Acrobat Reader

OK, just purchased Acrobat Pro XI subscription, I have already created the following .pdf at the link below:
http://www.pdfdoctor.net/eca/creditapp004_02.pdf
on the last page I have a Submit button, that will send/upload the completed .pdf to my web server, the .pdf is working fine, I just need help configuring my server to accept the file submissions itself, such as the following:
1. what should be the directory file permissions?
2. do I need a htaccess file in that directory or in my main root directory and what should be in it, I HAVE NO IDEA, once I get this working then I will be set, please help, thankyou.

Submitting in HTML format is useful if you're only interested in the form data, but since your form includes digital signature fields, you will want to submit the entire PDF. Using multiple digital signature fields intended for different signers doesn't make much sense for a web form, unless you intend to serve a form that was signed by one person to then be signed by another.
If submitting the entire PDF, the script can save the entire incoming POSTed data to a file somewhere, in addition to all of the security-related things it needs to handle, and then return a response. As mentioned earlier, it is usually best if this response is an FDF. Here's a link to an introduction to some of the basic concepts: Working with Form Data in Acrobat X | Acrobat Community TV | Adobe TV
starting at the 9:50 mark. It deals with submitting in HTML format, but it should get you started.

PDF form created in Acrobat X - Mac Preview does not wrap text

This is driving me crazy, please excuse me if this is rudimentary -
I created a document in Word that will be a daily form filled out and saved as individual pdf's.
In Acrobat X, I opened this doc & created a form.
If I open with Acrobat reader or X, the form holds all parameters including "shrink to fit" with text...
But, Preview clips the text... it centers text like I requested but doesn't adjust font size to fit...
Is there a step I'm missing? This form needs to be filled out correctly in Preview - is this possible?
Thanks

You should NEVER expect that Apple's Preview application will be able to give the quality of preview you'll see in Acrobat. Apple chooses to implement or not implement the parts of the PDF specification that they choose.
You should complain about this in the Apple user forums because they developed the application, not Adobe.

Plugin firefox acrobat reader mac yosemite

firefox non mi apre i documenti pdf da compilare.
mi dice sempre che devo aggiornare alla versione più recente di acrobat reader, ma la mia è già la versione più recente
il modulo da compilare in prova è sul sito del MUDE

Hey maod68930687,
Could you please specify more on the same.
Are you first downloading the PDF that you need to fill on your computer?
Is the form fillable because only then the form fields would be enabled for editing.
Hope to hear from you.
Regards,
Anubha

Clear Form button on Acrobat Reader

Just wanted to find out if there has been an update for the Acrobat Reader latest version for the IPAD for a Form that opens on Your IPAD. Your Submit button works, but the Clear Form button will not work on an IPAD. Are you able to tell me when this might be done for the IPAD. It is a crucial button needed on Forms that are opened on an IPAD.

Here's a recent discussion about this, with some input by someone from Adobe: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1356621

Have a fill-in form designed in acrobat 8 (MAC), trying to send from PC adobe 9

I have a form which was designed on a mac acrobat 8. The form works when sending via email, data collection when coming back, etc., however we have taken that same form and pulled it over to a PC acrobat pro 9 and we can send through the distribute forms function via email the person fills-in the form, however when we open the returned form the dialog box that normally appears to ask how you want to collect the data or what you want to do for data collection does not appear. You can open like any pdf and view the data.
What is more weird is the same form we can iniate the send from the mac, and then open on a PC and the dialog box appears. It just doesn't work and you don't get the data collection dialog box or tracking page when you iniate a send from a pc and then open on a PC.
Do I need to rebuild the form on the PC in 9, or am I missing some step on the PC side when I send?

Please post this in the Acrobat support area, you'll get a better answer!

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

PDF barcode form input in Acrobat Reader

I have tried to create a barcode form by using the acrobat professional XI, all user input will be rendered into a QR code in the PDF form.
Problem now is:
If i distribute this barcode form to user without Acrobat Professional XI (i.e. they may be using Adobe Reader X to input the form), the barcode cannot be generated base on the user input and disappear.
Any idea how to resolve this or any configuration need to be done?

You need LiveCycle to apply the extended rights for barcoded forms

Is acrobat reader 4.0 the only 1 with search-function?

Hello,
My colleague uses 4.0 to search articles on a cd and claims it's the only version which can do that. Is that true?
If not, in which version is it possible too? Hopefully in 9.0
Thank you

And it's not a regular search-option, it's indexing cd's with "index.pdx".
I have seen it is possible in Acrobat 9.0 PRO, but we don't have Pro.
So is it possible in the normal 9.0 and/or maybe in Adobe 7 Pro, because we do have 1 license here.
For the actual version of Adobe Reader create a new catalog index with Acrobat 7, 8, or 9 Pro.
The actual Adobe Reader doesn't support a catalog index created with Acrobat 4.

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.

Acrobat Reader X / 10 - javascript console problem / crash

Hi,
I develop adobe interactive forms and need javascript console badly!
My system:
Windows XP Prof.
Acrobat Reader 10 (free)
Internet Explorer 8
Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 9 (latest version)
The javascript console works just fine if I start an adobe form "native" = with Acrobat Reader X directly.
But if I use Adobe Livecycle Designer (latest version) [the issue also described here], the console just crashes / disappears right after it started.
The same happens if I open the pdf-file (adobe interactive form) with Internet Explorer.
E.G:
- When using Acrobat Reader "native":
console will open up on javascript syntax errors or by klicking a button ( javascript = console.show(); )
- When using Internet Explorer or Adobe Livecycle Designer:
the same pdf file cannot view the javascript console. it just "disappears immideatly" / crashes
There is any technical support for Acrobat Reader expect this forum - so I was told when I called adobe hotline.
I hope anyone could actually help me here.

Hi,
Don't open the console just the reader application. and then open the console from your script as you do.
I have noticed in the past that sometimes the console appears for a very short period of time and then vanishes and this appears to be caused by the console window being associated with the open Adobe Reader application ( when it has no documents open) rather than the open PDF file in the preview or browser.
Just a thought

Bug in Acrobat Reader 8 & 9? "Actual size" not actual size

When I choose to view a PDF in "actual size" using Adobe Acrobat Reader 8 or 9, it is NOT actual size. Under Acrobat Reader 7, it WAS actual size.
For example, if I go to the properties of the document and find out that it is supposed to be an 8.5 x 11 document, the document on screen is not 8.5 x 11.
This used to work under Acrobat 7, but doesn't work under Acrobat 8 or 9. It used to be that you could hold an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper up to your monitor and the size of the image on screen was exactly 8.5 x 11, but now if I do the same thing, the size on the monitor does not match the actual size of the paper.
Is this a bug or something else?

The screen size is 17" and the current resolution is 1024 x 1280 (it is in "portrait" mode), but it happens at every resolution I've tested.

Installing Acrobat Reader Plug-In Only (Not Full App)

I'm curious to know if its possible to load the Adobe Acrobat Reader Plug-in portion only in IE and Firefox. Ideally I'd prefer to not have to install the entire application just to view PDF's in IE/Firefox as I rely on a third party application to view, and manipulate, PDF's outside of the browsers. Yes, I can change the association of .PDF's in Explorer or re-install (or perform a repair installation of) the application to restore the file associations, but if I can avoid installing Adobe Acrobat Reader all together, I'd prefer that route.
Is this possible or does the application have to be installed?
Thanks
Jules

It needs to be installed.
