Submit button not working

[S Lyne - LSM]

Hello, I have built a PDF form with a submit button, I want it to send the completed PDF to my e-mail address but I get a "bad parameter" error message when I press the button.

I use action "Submit form" and the code: mailto:"e-mail address"

I have added tags because I read the bad parameter error message was caused by it being untagged but this has not helped. 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

I hope you didn't include the quotes in the URL... Also, make sure there's no space after the colon.

What happens when you save the form without the submit button?

I can save the form no problem.

I have the same problem - no quotes used in the submit, and no "subject" - and once the fields are completed, get a "bad parameter" when I click the submit button.

That usually indicates an issue with the file itself.

I noticed a thread in a different forum about overlapping fields.

I did manage to sort my "bad parameter" which popped up when I hit a "submit button" that used mailto.

I looked at every field in the document, whether it was a plain text, border or "completion field" and made sure than none overlapped. I converted my "submit" button (which was an image) to an object, and made sure there were no overlapping text fields anywhere.

After doing all this, hitting the "submit" attached my form to an email with no error or "bad parameter".

Thank you, but I have sorted this problem now.

I'm having the same problem. Would you mind saying how you fixed it?

I created a PDF in Acrobat Pro DC. Have a print and submit buttons. The print works fine.

However the Submit started asking me for access to my contacts. If I refuse it aborts the process. Even after I gave it permission. the mailto: address is my personal email with google. Neither the form or anything shows up.

Help Please..

What are the submit parameters? Show a screenshot.

What email program are you using? 

Have someone else try the form. Do they have the same problem?

Using a "Send" button is an outdated and unreliable process.

You should remove this button and use "Distribute": https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/creating-distributing-pdf-forms.html#distribute_send_forms_to_...

Thank you for the reply.
This is an application for membership that people will download off our
website.
I want them to be able to return it with a simple click. Is that possible?

thanks

Yes, in this case you must create a "Submit" button since you cannot use "Distribute"
