Submit Button Issues

Hello,

I posted on Acrobat forum. But it may be better here.

 

I created a PDF form using InDesign with a submit button. 

The button doesn't work when uploaded onto the website. Link is below.

Also, when the form is downloaded, the submit button disappears. If you hover over the area where the button is, the pointer changes to a hand but still the button doesn't work. 

 

See image below.

Works fine for me, too. How did you download it, exactly? Did you open it in the browser and then selected Save As? If so, you probably used the browser's internal PDF plugin, which are usually sub-par, especially when it comes to form fields. Instead, you should download the file directly to your computer, and then open it in Acrobat or Reader.

If i type in a field, click submit button  - all done in the safari browser. The submit button doesn't work.

 

Then i decide to download the pdf. If i now open in Acrobat, the buttons disappear.

Don't open the file in Safari.
