Creating simple forms How?

[Skepticus-LLyQXQ]

Years ago I used to be able to create simple forms, that seems not to be possible anymore (the only thing I would like is for the visitor -to a show- to fill in the form and click so it will be sent to us directly, nothing fancy....) At the moment one clicks on j''a, ik wil graag updates ontvangen''  the form should be sent to an e-mailadress....Help?

Is your question about creating fields or about emailing the form automatically?

The latter is only possible if an email account is set up on the machine and a script is installed on it.

If you can't control that then you should submit the request to a web-service, instead of using email.

Thanks, I think I knwo how to create a form, even with a button to activate something, that button should be the activator to send a mail directly to the creator of the form. I only hav Outlook Office on my laptop, do not know what more (software) I would need to get this simple use back...Which script do you mean? Can I get that somewhere?

Form I worked with that was ok:

Brussel naar Dimex rechtstreeksRene2.pdf - Google Drive

Open the document in Adobe Acrobat and use Tools > Prepare Form. In the properties of the submit button you can change the email address.

Thanks but in my version of Acrobat (XI Pro) the button shows no e-mailaddress....extra difficulty: Dutch version, I can guess what properties means but when I use that no e-mail appears...

Select the "Submit a form" action and press "Edit":

Great! That works, thanks very much. After upgrades it seemed that simplicity was lost (as it was with the new printerdrivers).

Hi,

I attached an ‘’old fashioned’’ form that worked welll for us. This is the format I would like to mainain and expand.

‘’Klik om te verzenden’’ opens a mailbox, I cannot change the address (anymore?)

Thanks

Kind regards,

André

You can't attach files here. Upload it to somewhere like Google Drive or Dropbox and post the link to it.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to what seemed complicated at first but was simpel in the end 😉

Hi, I don't know what went wrong, I had a huge update of W10 but the mailto: button in my form does not work anymore (used to start Outlook Office 2010)

I will upload the document, could somebody analyze it? Thansk in advance.

Hi all, I am still trying to find out what was distorted after the W10 upgrade, Acrobat Pro X would not recognise files automatically (saw them as HTML...) and Outlook Office 2010 still does not start after clicking on ''mailto:'' or the button in the form, anybody? Help!

[try67]

Acrobat X is not compatible with Windows 10, so problems are to be expected.

[Skepticus-LLyQXQ]

Thanks, nobody told me? I can do all my ''normal''  work with Acrobat....Forms are the problem since the large upgrade last week

[Skepticus-LLyQXQ]

That's a bit too simple, it used to work well, after an Adobe Upgrade things went wrong (something I expierence with more upgrades from Adobe, they don't tell you whic things have chagned (or how to get old settings back), in the old days my Postscript printerdriver remembered its settings: gone...!
