No Hassle Submit Button

Community Beginner ,
Feb 01, 2022 Feb 01, 2022

I have created a fillable form with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. I want to add a submit button that will upload the entire, filled form to either email, DropBox, that kind of thing. How can I do that? I've tried doing the submit button via email, and that's just plain not working. I don't want the people filling out the form to have to save anything, sign into anything, etc. Just hit submit, and it's done. Thanks!

Unfortunately No.  The simplest solution is to submit using email. But of course that depends on the particular user's email setup.  Acrobat is usually pretty accomodating with different email setups. This is also the way most people go. So what problem are you seeing? 

 

Submitting to a web resource is more reliable, and easier for users, but requires a custom server script. There is no built-in way to submit to a specific site, such as dropbox. 

 

You have to remember that a PDF is a general purpose kind of document, so the PDF submission method is also general purpose. There are many different apps for viewing a PDF. Each with it's own level of compliance with the PDF specification. So submission capabilities are entirely dependent on the application in which the PDF is viewed.
