Question

Acrobat Pro DC Form in web browsers problem

We've created a form in acrobat pro dc.

The form consists of fields with simple calculations and check-boxes with simple java script.

The form works as we desire in adobe acrobat pro dc within preview mode.

The PDF form file (signup-v5.pdf) is then placed in a folder on our server and we use an index.php file to view and use the PDF form online.

We use this code in our index.php file -

<html>

<body style="width:100%; height:100%; overflow:hidden; margin:0;">

<embed src="signup-v5.pdf" width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin" id="plugin" type="application/pdf" internalinstanceid="4" title>

</body>

</html>

PROBLEMS:

On the web browsers (desktop) the form works but the email submit button does not work and the required field red outline and warning do not appear.

On the web browsers (mobile) the form has no fields or check-boxes.

Are there solutions to these problems?

Thank you for your time.

This is expected. Most web browsers do not handle PDF forms correctly or at all. Consider using HTML forms. Also, do NOT use email "submit", it is a toy for testing not a business solution.

What web browser do you use?

Hi,

You've posted your question in the Adobe Campaign section of the forum, which is dedicated to marketing campaign orchestrations. I'll move your post into the Acrobat DC section.

Hope you will resolve this!
