I've gone on and have come across suggestions about using a CGI script on a Web server. A form submit button could point to a script on a Web server, and the CGI script could parse the form (FDF to PDF, I think) and then email the PDF. Is there a site where I could get a CGI script to get started?.

I read somewhere online about PDF form submission via HTTP and SOAP and a WSDL. Can anyone suggest a link or links to sites that can help?

I've found out that we can't use PDForMail any longer, for various reasons. What options do I have? The requirements are that the recipient has a PDF form for printing out and for managing form data with Acrobat Pro (merging files into an Excel spreadsheet).

Thom,Thank you for your response. Without an email client, like Outlook, can a PDF form be emailed to a recipient and arrive as a PDF form? When you write, " But there are many, many ways to do the same thing," that surprises me. I've done a fair amount of Googling, and I don't see many alternatives...

I developed a PDF form using Livecycle and now discoved that the computers that users have do not have an email client installed. instead, they use OWA. So my Save and Send Email button will save the PDF but not email it. Is there a way to send the PDF (I've read something about http or server-side ...

Niall,Thank you for this explanation. It helps me understand what's behind the behavior I've been seeing. It's very interesting to hear what you say abou the format radio buttons. What a great feature! I'm going to look into how that works.Now I'll take a good look at the new examples you sent. Than...

Niall,I'm indecisive right now. It seems as though the regular button cannot behave the way the Submit by Email button works. The regular button does not set focus on the first failed filed, no matter how many empty fields there are, whereas the Submit by Email button does this without fail. In your...

Niall,I'll follow up on the comments you just posted, but in the meantime, I looked at the Report for your Example, finding these warnings.Target version does not support the Color Failed Fields option for form validation. Target Version Reader 9.1 Code 3005Target version does not support the Set Fo...

Niall,Thank you for that screenshot. I see that you filled in two of the three required fields, so that the Your Name field was the only one left that was empty. In that case, the setFocus does indeed work. However, why doesn't it work if all the fields are empty? For example, if I fill in the Your ...

Niall,In the latest update of your form, this is what happens here. The first two buttons (submit types) do set focus on fail, while the third (regular button) does not. The color fields script does work in my form. I wonder why the setFocus is different. I also notice that when I adapte the code fr...
