I'm looking to create a button in an fillable form that will send the PDF (copy) to a SharePoint library. Any advice welcomed but so far I've gotten nothing but errors (please see attached).

The URL you submit to must specially be set up to handle submissions. If it's a general Sharepoint URL, nothing good will happen. There is no way to make a "submit" that just saves a file, without server-side programming.

What if it's a link to a specific SharePoint document library?

No, not even in theory. A submit is nothing like a save. You need a specially written web service/script.

Hi @Myster-P

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.

When you distribute a form, Acrobat automatically checks the form. If it doesn’t find a submit button, it adds a Submit Form button to the document message bar. Users can click the Submit Form button to send completed forms back to you. If you don’t plan to use the Submit Form button created by Acrobat, you can add a custom submit button to your form.

To know how, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/setting-action-buttons-pdf-forms.html

If you see from my images (original post) I have created a Submit button that will (in theory) send the PDF to a SharePoint library. Is their programing or settings on the SharePoint side we need to consider?
