Submit Form ?

[KaySera19]

What is the difference between using the pink "Submit Form" button that automatically appears in the upper right hand corner of a distributed form - and creating a "Submit Form" button within the document?  I am confused.  Do I create the submit form button if I will only be distributing the form as an email attachment?  Thanks in advance for your help.

I moved your post over from the poorly named "Using the Community" forum, which is for getting help using this forum system, to a better forum.


I hope this helps. Best of luck to you.

Can you please help me find the board that my question is now posted on?  I'm sorry I'm confused here.  Thank you in advance!

It's in the "Acrobat" forum:

Adobe Acrobat (and the free Reader) tries to determine if a document is an interactive form, and does then add the toolbar with the submit button. This may not always work correctly, and other (non-Adobe) applications may not do the same, so its' always a good idea to add a submit button to your form in a location that makes sense for the user filling out the form - e.g. after the last form field that needs to be filled. This way, the user is reminded that the form needs to be submitted, which is good user interface design. I never click on the submit button in the toolbar, and always use a submit button on the form.
