Forms & PDF

[Glenn]

I created a form in Acrobat Professional which I'd like to have as part of
my website.

I have successfully imported it. However, when I click the "submit" button
I get an error. I think I need to have a CGI script installed somewhere,
but the documentation isn't all that great.

Does anyone have a link to some good directions?

What submit button are you talking about?

After you import the file into your FP web, all you need to do is create a
link to the file on a page.

I created the submit button in Adobe Acrobat to submit the form to a
website.

Just upload the pdf file to your server and create a link to it.

I did that and it works fine until you click the submit button. That's when
you get the error

I saw, when perusing the documentation, that acrobat 6 has "forms"
capability. that's about as far as I got. ;-)

you may want to check out the adobe acrobat newsgroup or post a link to the
PDF, I'd be interested in seeing it.

If memory serves correctly I think the acrobat form can only be used from
the desktop and reports it's input via email.

Do you know how to subscribe to the adobe acrobat newsgroup? I can't find
one.

follow Kathleen's link to the group.
Let us know how it goes and give a link to your PDF doc. it was one of the
features in Acrobat 6 that interested me (aside from being able to show/
hide layers of a document, which would be great for explanations/
instructions).

TIA

These forums are virtually useless the way they're set up, BTW.

you're not kidding Craig!
As a matter of fact, I can't even get into studio.adobe.com with internet
explorer, I've got to use firefox, but it's the same thing with Citibank's
site too.

I guess we can all breathe a little easier if big shots with huge budgets
like these guys have "cross browser" issues. ;-)
