Trouble adding a recipient to the distributed form

I have created a form, distributed it through acrobat.com. I
wanted to add some people to the form. I clicked on add recipients,
and typed in the email address of one person and then selected
Send..... Nothing happens. It froze and it never sent the form. I
had to cancel to get out. When I click on "send an email to all the
recipients", it encounters an error and shuts down, same with
"email recipients who have not responded". I am having trouble
resending this form out. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Thank you for your post. Could you clarify which service you
are using when you are encountering the freezing error? Are you
trying to send the form using Share or perhaps from within
Buzzword? Or, is this something you are trying to do from within
Acrobat itself?
Thanks!
Michelle

  • I am having trouble adding a printer to the eprint center.

    I am logged in, so next I go to add the printer, it opens a box and asks me to enter my  code.  I have the sheet which just printed out.  I put in the code without the email part @hpeprint.com, I hit ok and I get this hour glass that just stays there and never does anything.  I have tried this quite a few times and have had no luck.  I even reset all settings on the printer, got a new number and tried it again.
    Anyone know why that is happening on the website?
    thanks

    Hey Sportsman7!
    I don't think there is currectly any problem with the website. What browser are you using (IE8, Firefox, Chrome, etc.)? If you have a different browser, try adding it from there. If not, you can go to either firefox.com or google.com/chrome to download a different one. I just tried adding one of our printers to eprintcenter and it worked.
    Hope this helps!

  • Acrobat XI hangs when adding a response from distributed form, when specific form field is filled

    As the question says, when using the distribute form functionality of Acrobat, it hangs at the step of importing or adding a filled form, when a specific field on the form is filled.  It happens whether the tracker automatically detects it when I open the distributed form and asks me to add it, or I manually try to add it in the responses form. Here's the screenshot of when I tried manually adding it.  The first line is the one that hangs and is missing all fields except that "Approved" check box.  But it's the last field "ApprovedDate" that makes it hangs if it's filled in the form.  The Progress dialog just stays there forever and I can't click cancel.  When it tries to add it automatically, nothing appears on the screen, the form just stays open and the tracker doesn't come up.  I'm on Windows 7, Acrobat XI Pro.  I can send you the form if needed.
    Edit: I investigated further and there were Java scripts associated with that date field.  These would have been added while creating the form in Acrobat; I don't remember how exactly, but I only meant to validate the date format.  I've removed all the scripts and reset the desired date format on the field and it seems to work now.

    I use Mavericks and Acrobat XI. I haven't had any issues so far.

  • Field validation using distributed form's "Submit Form" built-in function

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can help me out with a small problem I'm having. I have a hidden field on a form which is the total of other numeric values on the form with code in place so that if the number doesn't equal what it should, the alert box is displayed. The problem is that it's a distributed form and even though the message is displayed, if you hit submit (Built-in Submit Form) button form on a second attempt, it submits anyway. So the question is, how do I change the built-in API submit button code to catch the error? Because it's a distributed form, am I dealing with global variables vs. form level? I've tried using the "event.rc = false" at the form level to no avail. I can't seem to locate the built-in "submit form" code so that I can change that to make this APP work. Or is there a better way to do this. My validation code is below and I would greatly appreciate anyone's help.
    Thanks,
    Tom

They should add up to 136, but are adding up to " + this.getFiel         ("RankGameTotal").value + ".");        }     } else { }

    try67,
    Thanks for your reply. When you say to "remove the Submit action, and submit the form yourself inside your code" are you refering to the
    distributed forms "Submit Form" button displayed on the purple tool bar of the distributed form? And if so, could you please let me know how I can do that? I've
    looked into that and haven't found an answer. Doing that would solve my problem of having my own submit code acting correctly and the
    distributed forms "Submit form" code not having any idea about my forms desired field value.
    Thanks again,

  • Adobe [Acrobat] 9 distribute forms issue

    I'm trying to distribute forms through adobe [Acrobat] 9 and I can only send the form to people in my address book through Acrobat.com as an attachment, but not as a link. 
    However, I can send a link to the form to people not in my address book via Acrobat.com with no issues. I've also noticed when I add people in my address book to the list of recipients it says it can't resolve the address even though I specifically added it through the address book. We use office 365 and I'm using outlook 2007. Is there some known issue?
    [Edited by host for clarity]

    I'm using the retail upgrade version, currently on 9.3.0.  I had to upgrade from Acrobat 7 Pro when I got my new Win7 computer.
    One thougth... the more I investigate this problem, I can't help but wonder if I somehow turned off the screen that is supposed to come up when I click the Distribute Forms button.  I just ran through the 20-minute video at http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/acrobat-9-complete-forms-workfl ow and it reminded me of the wizard screen that is supposed to appear with the three options (use Acrobat.com, email, internal server).  I haven't seen it, which makes wonder if I checked the "always use this option" button and now I can undo it.  Every option that I've tried on the Forms menu immediately takes me to the form with the purple bar mentioned in my original post.
    Thanks,
    Kim.

  • How to edit fields on a distributed form?

    Hello all, I am very new to adobe so please excuse me if this is a basic concept I have missed. 
    I created a PDF form and then generated a distributed file that I have been using to do a significant amount of data entry.  I assumed that the distributed file was what I send to all of the data entry team.  I now want to make changes to some of the fields, e.g. adding new ones, deleting old ones.  I tried doing this to the distributed file directly and every time I attempt to edit the form fields Adobe crashes on me.  This raises a number of questions. 
    1) Am I not intended to be able to edit the fields directly on the distributed file?  Do I need to go back to the original file and edit there, then create a new distributed file?
    2) If I don't create a new distributed file and there is a way to add/delete fields, what happens to :
         A) the new fields that did not exist on prior responses, will values in this column simply be blank on old responses in my spreadsheet?
         B) the old fields that no longer exist on new responses, will there similarly be a column that is perpetually empty in new responses that will contain data from prior ones
    3) If I do have to create a new distributed file for every edit I do of the original form, is the easiest way to merge data into one spreadsheet by an en masse copy and paste from one excel spreadsheet into another?  Is there a way to ensure the columns will all line up (e.g. do I need to make sure that the tab order places newly created fields at the end?)
    Thank you!

    Yes, you should make edits to the original form, as it was before you went through the Distribute Form process.
    If you make changes, you will have to distribute the new version. The data won't get collected in tracker as though it were the same form. And yes, you will need to somehow manage the differences in the spreadsheet for the different forms since they will likely have different columns. Acrobat won't help you with this.

  • How can recipients submit a distributed form via email to any email address they want?

    First, a little background to describe our situation:
    I have a standard Acrobat form here that I need about 20 of my salespeople to use to send to their new prospective customers,  have the customers fill it out, and return the completed form to their respective salesperson.
    I don't want to allow my salespeople or their customers to be able to save local copies of the form because it will include personal information about the customer. If customers were to save their completed forms and email them to our salespeople, I worry that the salespeople will accidentally send out one of those completed forms to a new customer thinking that it is a clean/unfilled version of the form (and not realizing that it includes sensitive information about another customer!)
    Thus, I need a way for our customers to fill and return the forms without being able to save them locally as their own versions and then sending those new versions to our salespeople.
    I believe that means that I should use the "distributed forms" method and ask the customers to "submit" the forms directly rather than save/email them on their own.
    I'd like to have a single form up on our website, and our salespeople will just send out the link to that form so that customers can fill out their data and submit it. If our salespeople get into the habit of just sending out the link, and they get an email with the completed form after a customer completes it, then they'll never email around actual PDF copies of the form, so they'll avoid the risk of accidentally sending out a customer's completed form that has all their personal info on it.
    Here's the problem though:
    Using the "distributed form" method, whenever a form is submitted by a prospective customer, it seems that it can only be submitted/sent to the email address on the Adobe account that originally created the form (which is me), but I need the completed form to be sent directly to the salesperson who covers that customer (not me).
    So, is there some way to get around this issue?
    Can I create a form field that allows the customer to type in the salesperson's email address so that the completed PDF of the form is sent to that salesperson when they submit it (rather than all of them being sent to me)?This would be ideal because it would still be a distributed form that allows people to submit their forms directly to their salespersons without having to save local versions of the form w/ all their personal info and then emailing to the salesperson.
    If this can't work, is there some way to make sure that when a customer fills out a form that they are required to save it as a new version under a new file name (like "NormalFileName_CustomerLastName")?If the file name is always different than the original, clean copy of the form, then it would make it less likely that my salespeople would send out the wrong version.
    I know this issue must come up with people all the time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    You would have to first change the email address that Acrobat uses (Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address) and then redistribute the form in Acrobat and send it to your users.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 forms tracker not keeping distributed form details

    Help needed with an issue we are experiencing with acrobat not retaining the distributed forms details (or review documents that have been distributed).  We are not able to retain the details of the distributed forms once we exit the application and close off for the day we loss the details anyone experienced this?

    Can you distribute a form and check if the file "AdhocWorkflow" is present at C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Forms (if on Vista/Win 7) or C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Forms (if on win XP)? If present, can you send it to me at ambooATadobe.com for investigating?

  • 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.

  • Created an Adobe PDF form via LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2, used the New Form Assistant, prob w/ email

    I created a form to be distributed, filled in and emailed back to me for my company.
    It has been working fine, but now I need to change the email address where it will be sent when the user clicks the "Submit Form" button. How?
    All I need to do is change this email address, everything else is set.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    My experience is that re-running the Distribute Form does not allow you to change the options you get on first run.
    To correct this you need open the PDF in Acrobat Pro and go to Edit > Preferences and select the identity category.  The email address can be changed there.
    Further, when I ran Distribute Form, it made some other changes to the PDF too, because the Email submit button in my form does not work any longer in Adobe Reader.  Clicking it simply prompts to save a local copy of the PDF. The submit still works in Acrobat Pro, but this is useless for a distributed form.
    It seems odd that Distribute form make changes to a form which seemingly cannot be undone or further require the use of another product to change.

  • Acrobat 9 Distribute Forms Problem

    I'm using Acrobat 9 Standard in Windows 7 Professional.
    I have created a form with all the necessary fields, but when I click on the Distribute Form button, nothing happens.  I've tried several ways to launch this wizard, but can't seem to get the original screen with the distribute options (Acrobat.com, internal server, email) to appear. 
    No matter what I try, all I get is the purple bar showing Please fill out the following form.  If you are a form author, choose Distribute Form in the Forms menu to send it to your recipients.  Since I am the author, I don't understand why I keep going around in circles.
    Any guidance will be appreciated!
    Thanks,

  • FDF Returns the entire form not just user input

    Using the properties dialog box on a submit button I set my form actions to return 'FDF Include' which according to the help menu will only return the results of the user input and not the entire filled out form. I only want user input because I plan to embed each results file in a website.Unless I am misunderstanding what should happen, it is not working. It is returning the entire form.  I would appreciate any help or tips anyone has to offer. If I'm doing it wrong and there is another way, please let me know. I just want to see the answers in the form fields, not the entire form.  Thanks!

    Thanks so much for your assistance. I made a form, and then set the distrubuted settings to email me the form when submitted. I posted it to our intranet and then tested it. The form I posted is the 'distributed' form that Acrobat made from my original form. I posted it on a public site so you can have a look. Here is a link.  This should allow you to download it instantly. If not, remove everything from the question mark to the end and then paste that link into a browser. I checked and double checked everything, but maybe I am missing something.

  • Maximum number of responses using distributed forms?

    What is the maximum number of responses allowed with distributed forms?

    That depends on how many people have access to the form. If you distribute it to 500 or fewer recipients, then you can collect and use data from any number of responses. If more than 500 recipients, you can use data form no more than 500 responses. By "distributed forms" I'm assuing you're using the Distribute Form feature of Acrobat, which Reader-enables the form in the process.

  • Issues with LiveCycle ES4 - "Distribute Form" greyed out and "email button" not functioning

    Bought this software on 8/1/13.
    Designed my first form, "saved to repository" and proceeded to test. The email function for whatever reason does not work. Went back and examined the properties to the button, I have it set up correctly. In fact the XMS format works perfect, but I want the form to come via PDF when emailed. This feature is not coming through on email.
    I am not sure if the above two issues are related however I did read that in the stand-alone software, the "distribute form" is not offerred which I wonder if this the reason it is greyed out.
    Can anyone help me work through the "email button" issue?

    If the PDF submits to a server-side script URL it can bypass client-side email software.
    Try the online PDF submission examples and see if it works for you in Mozilla FireFox:
    http://www.pdfemail.net/examples/
    You should also make sure the browser is using the Adobe Reader plugin as the default PDF reader.

    I'm distributing the form in Acrobat Pro 9.
    I created the form in Live Cycle Designer.  Save, then open in Acrobat pro.  Extend Features to Acrobat Reader, click the drop down box on Forms and hit distribute.  I save a local copy.  When I open the distributed form the buttons do fall silent, the Submit Button on the purple line up top still works, but that doesn't appear in reader and the people who will be completing the form all use reader.  Any suggestions for a fix?
    I'd like to distribute because that automates the tracking.  It works undistributed.
