I'm using Acrobat Pro 7.0 and have designed a few forms for own use on my website. They are fillable and when my clients fill in the form and e-mail it back to me, I get the FDF data and it populates my form on my computer.
Now my question. I have a partner that wants me to modify some of my forms to his company name, etc that he can upload on his website. I'll change the submit button to his mailto:address so his clients can submit to his e-mail. How do I set the forms up on his computer so that when he gets the FDF data in an e-mail attachment his form is automatically populated? The reason I ask this is because I ran into problems before where I moved my form from it's origianl location and when I would get an e-mail attachment, Acrobat couldn't find my form. I had to manually browse to where my pdf form was located and open it, then it would populate the data. I don't want him having to manually browse and open his form each time he gets the FDF data..Hope I haven't confused everyone.
thanks,
Mike
If your partner in on Acrobat 8 he can use the "Distribute Form" and "Compile Data" features. Which sets up the PDF and a data collection mechanism to automatically load the returned data into a dataset.
