Correct answer try67

Nothing happens when you press a button. No messages or letters.

Works fine for me... Be aware, though, that clicking the button doesn't actually send the email. It will just create a new Draft in the Gmail account you have set up in Acrobat. The user will still need to manually send it.

Does NOT work for me.  Explanation: pdf form created in Acrobat DC with Submit button. On the device on which Acrobat DC installed, it works great. Using Outlook Exhange to send an email to someone else (customer) and attach the form to the email. The customer can open the pdf form and fill-in the form fields. However the Submit button does not do anything. I have used the Acrobate menu item submit and tested with run Java script and neither works when the form is sent as an attachment.

    What application is the customer using to open the PDF file?

    In this test case, the receiving party opened the email with Outlook 365/exchange.

    However for the fill-in form to be useful, it must work universally regardless of the email client that the user/recipent has installed on their device.

      Thank you for responding. However, the receiver having to manually send back the filled in form actually defeats the purpose for the intended goal of using the Submit button. The Submit button should help to make processes smoother... fill the form in, hit submit, and your done. If this is not the intention, then I will need to use another product and canel my subscription.

        You can submit the form data (or even the entire PDF file) to a web-service which will automatically save it to the server.

        This is the only way of doing it "silently", unless you can install a script on the local machine of each user.

        In what application are you opening the file (including exact version number)?

        What email account did you set up?

        Can you post a screenshot of the settings you entered into the Submit Form dialog window?

        Also, what's your operating system version?
