EPIC FAIL!!! Why don't Acrobat Pro DC PDF Forms work in web browsers???

[ashp62739924]

We've Finally created a form in Acrobat Pro Dc software we have just purchased.

Before we got the software, we were ensured by Adobe that PDF forms will be inter-relational with web browsers!

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 and in safari desktop web browser.

PROBLEMS:

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

On the mobile and tablet web browsers the form has no fields or check-boxes.

Is there Something we forgot to do in order for the form to work on web browsers?

Are there solutions to these problems?

Thank you for your time.

Answer: use HTML to create forms

You mean assured? Who at Adobe assured you of this? Because it certainly isn't true (your discoveries are correct and normal: the makers of web browsers decided it wouldn't work).

I agree: use HTML for web forms. And forget the idea you can "submit by email", email is not suitable for any serious use.

It's not a fail.

PDF forms are made to be used offline with Acrobat Reader or any third party PDF Reader that handle AcroForms.

HTML forms are made to be used online with web browsers.

Therefore your choice does not seem relevant.
