Send an active PDF form with a Submit button? (Acrobat Pro XI.)

I created a very large active form of PDF with hundreds of fields with text boxes, drop downs, checkboxes, radio buttons, and I think that the kitchen sink. But for the life of me I can't understand how to create a Submit button that will send the completed form to an email address that is configured to print whatever it hits.


I have read so many things about it that I'm completely confused. I need a script, is there a method through menus to Acrobat, Miss me or I'm barking at the Moon? You'll know more I could even say any help just get me going in the right direction. Thank you!

Simply add a button and it is the mouse up action to "Submit a form" and use a type mailto URL and specify the complete PDF file is sent. If she needs to work with version 11 player, she should also be enabled for the drive: file > save as other > Reader Extended PDF > activate tools more

Note that emailing is unreliable by report to be submitted to a web server, and it is difficult to secure, which is relatively easy with a web server.

    I created a PDF file with a "submit" button. Forms works perfectly when I use it on my mac. However, when I download the file to my website using MUSE, I can access it fine online, but the send feature will not work. I can fill it without any problem, it just will not submit. What Miss me?

    Thanks in advance.

  • 2 or more forms with "1 submit" button (Business Catalyst Forms)

    I am very new to Ajax and Java

    So I'll need a bit of hand holding on it.

    If it's too much to explain in a post on the forum, I'd be willing to pay someone to set up properly and to explain so that I can repeat on my own $50.

    But here's what I'm trying to do.

    Presentation of multiple forms with single submit button.

    I need to create many many forms, so rather than repeat the basics (details and company info)

    I would just be able to manufacture PARTS of form and then build forms much faster this way.

    The forms I created are for various applications.

    I use the personal and professional contacts as the first 2 examples, but I'm going ELSEWHERE, I also understand according to the form.

    So just keep in mind these are examples.

    The point is that each PARTY is a separate form.

    The reason clear to achieve is to save time, many similar applications that I need to do the construction.

    Example 1

    Form of home insurance

    SECTION A - personal information

    PART H - home (s) address

    PART F - personal fire and alarm information

    PART C - the previous insurance issues and cancellation insurance

    ----------------

    submit button: supports all 4 forms above

    Example 2

    The company insurance form

    SECTION A - personal information

    PART B – business contact information

    PART D - commercial address information (what to do if several addresses?)

    PART E - business and information fire alarm

    PART C - the previous insurance issues and cancellation insurance

    --------------------

    submit button: submit all 5 forms above

    So ideally, I would need the following requirements.

    1. present the single button

    2. present the code can handle 2 or more parts not the value # specific

    3. I would prefer if it was automated code (so I don't have to change the code every time, I can simply add the parts - and also long ID # or named it will work correctly)

    4. If there is a problem with any PART stop the entire form

    5-

    A question, I had barely know is how "combine" forms a single entity so that they can change it later if necessary?

    * as turn a case, or to award to each PARTY a hidden form variable link #.

    * This is probably best handled with a webapp, Yes?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    It's all a bit above my level of understanding of right at this moment. So, if anyone can offer help or services.

    Please let me know. I have to get rolling on this ASAP.

    * main problems I have with BC forms:

    I did a lot of work with them recently, so I get a kick of the foibles, but there is always a ton of issues and roadblocks that I meet that requires a workaround solution.

    I wish I knew how to make dynamic British Colombia forms, because the BC is not a data source for multiple selection option, we must create a webapp connection to combine everything.

    Unless there is another way to combine multiple forms, I guess that's what about this discussion/issue together.

    So thank you once again.

    Are you ok with BC being unable to report on the data of the form? Rather than having the fields map to a client-server, you could serialize the form data (in JSON format, perhaps) and submit the entire form in a single field in a form BC, or an element of the Webapp.

    This would allow the form fields to be as dynamic as you can imagine. you will be not restricted to use only the form fields that have been declared in the admin.

    You have to take care around the diagram, because BC does not have an influence or support for that. It also means that when you want to display the data, you will need to go through your own deserializer. In addition, there are length limits to keep in mind.

  • a simple form with the "submit" button: can it look better?

    Hi all

    I did not imagine that a simple form (with Textfields and ChoiceFields) could do a lot of problems:

    I would like to ask a few basic questions about it. First the code (Simplified):

       GridFieldManager formfm;    
    
            EditField surname = new EditField("", "-", 25, Field.FIELD_LEFT | Field.FIELD_VCENTER | EditField.FILTER_DEFAULT);
        EditField email = new EditField("", "-", 25, Field.FIELD_LEFT | Field.FIELD_VCENTER | EditField.FILTER_EMAIL);
    
        public FormFieldManager(){
    
            formfm = new GridFieldManager(2,0);
    
            formfm.add(new LabelField("who: ", Field.FIELD_RIGHT | Field.FIELD_VCENTER));
            String[] choicewho = new String[] { "Mr", "Mrs", "Miss" };
            ObjectChoiceField who = new ObjectChoiceField("", choicewho, 0, Field.FIELD_LEFT |Field.FIELD_VCENTER);
    
            formfm.add(who);
    
        formfm.add(new LabelField("Surname :", Field.FIELD_RIGHT | Field.FIELD_VCENTER));
        formfm.add(surname);
    
        formfm.add(new LabelField("E-Mail :", Field.FIELD_RIGHT | Field.FIELD_VCENTER));
        formfm.add(email);
    
        ButtonField sendButton = new ButtonField("Send", Field.FIELD_HCENTER|ButtonField.CONSUME_CLICK);
        formfm.add(sendButton);
        FieldChangeListener listenerSendButton = new FieldChangeListener() {
        public void fieldChanged(Field field, int context) {
    
        try {
            String data = "send=true&surname=" +surname.getText();
            data += "&email=" + email.getText();      httpPost("http://bla/sendData.php", data);
        } catch (IOException e1) {
            e1.printStackTrace();
        }
        formfm.deleteAll();
        formfm.add(new LabelField("Grazie!"));
        }
      };
      sendButton.setChangeListener(listenerSendButton);
    

    now my questions:

    (1) don't miss something (style) for the EditFields? At the present time, it is possible to change them, but the behavior (9700 Simulator) is strange: it is 'difficult' to get from one field to the other and everything moves sometimes when editing...

    How do you define a standard form that seems 'normal' and can be completed as expected in other applications? (Swifts nothing, it is possible to access the next field with the expected key / trackpad (I have no touch screen)) and so on?

    The EditFields do not even have a border, but I guess that's the standard case on BlackBerry.

    (2) the ObjectChoiceField is also very ugly... It's too big... Is it not possible to reduce the size without much effort? (I couldn't everride it correctly). (I also tried with radio buttons, but unfortunately I can't add a RadioButtonGroup to my LayoutManager, strange)

    (3) it is perhaps a stupid question: I can't get the text selected from the ObjectChoiceField (to send it can in data).

    AM EditField, it's simple:

    editfield.getText()
    

    But how is it with my ChoiceField?

    I found getSelectedIndex() but it provides a value int not text...

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    1. you have defined fields as follows:

    EditField family name = new EditField ("vorname:", "-", 20, EditField.FILTER_DEFAULT);

    The 20 means 20 characters, so it's all the field allows you to enter.

    2. Yes, the mail filter is pretty useless.  Use the EmailAddressEditField instead

    3. you can play with the scroll, but the best thing to do is to set the focus on the first field that you want people to pull together - usually the upper part of the form.

    Give the buttons different name attributes. Check your action page

    StructKeyExists (form, "name_of_second_button"), which one was pressed.

  • Is it possible to use a Post form with no submit button

    I have a site whose users log in.
    After logging in, they can click on a navigation button to access an application. Currently users must log in our site, and then in the application.
    We strive to eliminate the need for 2 connections by using pass-through authentication.
    I send a form post to the application w / user session data (user Id).
    I've been asked not to create a page where users hit send.
    So my question is what is the best way to do it?
    I was planning on creating another page that opens when the user clicks the Browse button. The page that opens looks as if it connecting to the application. This page would contain a w shape / form field hidden {session.userinfo} and post it to the application.
    So is there a way magic w / a redirect or something in that?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Tina,
    This depends a lot on the application that you want to access from your site CF.

    One way would be something server side, having the button browse your call of the page the script navigate.cfm on your server, that uses cfhttp to submit the connection to the application as recommended Ian. But the problem in this situation may be that the application will return a session on the CF Server (a cookie with a session for a 'connected' session ID), and I don't know if the CF server could "transfer" this session in the browser of the user.

    The other way would be to have a solution on the browser side. But in this case you would need to have the CF post server username and password in the source code of your page in the browser (user name and password would be clear! in the source code of the page).

    The simple solution for the option on the browser side would be to have the login form hidden not in a separate window, but directly in your page (so your button navigate is basically the button submit to your login screen of applications). In this way, you can avoid javascript.

    The solution more complicated for option-side browser which avoids also the clear username / password problem, would be to have a navigation button that calls a javascript function that retrieves the user name and password of the server by using an authenticated and then Web service saves the credentials to the application.

    The server-side option would work only, if your application does not return a session in a cookie ID, but can also handle the Sessionid as a URL parameter.

    So it really depends on what your application can handle (cfhttp may not work if the site is properly protected against cross-site scripting), and what level of 'hair-lifting-security', you are ready to accept.

    See you soon,.

  • Present form PDF URL data without submit button

    Our customers use LiveCycle Designer to design PDF Forms. We have an ASP.Net Web form application, where they want us to embed the PDF form part of our data-entry form. The registration form has a button 'save'. And we want to save the entry of all entries in form (including the PDF form) in the click on the button Save.

    The client PC will adobe reader is installed, so I guess we can integrate the PDF form easily. I know form PDF can have the "submit" button and can send data (XML) to a URL. But the client does not want to place a button to send separate in the PDF file as the registration form has a Save"" button.

    Do you have any suggestions? If I post in the wrong place or a question already answered, I sincerely apologize and please guide me.

    You may be able to use the FormBridge to communicate between the PDF and HTML form. I've not used it before, so I can't provide details.

  • PDF form with several auto pages copy text in fields on the following pages

    I created a PDF form with multiple pages. I started with an Illustrator file, then exported to Acrobat to make it complete. For some reason any, however, when users enter text on the first page and try to continue on the other, the text on the first page only auto copies on the following pages. And if you delete what was on the second page (or third) to enter the correct data, which provides information on the first page.

    I guess it must be something that twisted when I was creating the form, so I don't know if there is a way to fix without all over again.

    Thank you!

    Give a unique name to each field. The fields with the same name are copies of each other and will automatically have the same value.

    I am fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have drop them downs named. Copy you a then keep stick in each area? If so, that's the problem. You must rename each with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think this might solve the problem.

  • I can read and modify a pdf to Adobe InDesign using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?

    I can read and modify a pdf to Adobe InDesign using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI?

    A PDF with InDesign is just one PDF file like any other. If Acrobat can open it. Almost no circumstance you would change it in Acrobat.

    Here's why. Editing PDF files is a last desperate resort. Sometimes easy/practice, often disappointing, frustrating, if not impossible. You modify a PDF file when life depends on it, the original has been lost, and all backups have been eaten by termites. If you do not edit an InDesign PDF in Acrobat. Nor of course in InDesign. What you do is change the original InDesign file and make a new PDF. Even to fix typo.

    (Other types of special Assembly that you just can't do in InDesign are a different story).
