I'm creating a form at work, and I need the submit button to return the data from the fields to a folder on my network server. I entered the info in the URL box like the help said, but it keeps trying to go to a web address instead of the local network.

To save the form data to a file location on your server, you must submit the PDF form to a server-side script.

The script could be programmed to save the input stream to a flat file, database, or whatever. If your running a Microsoft server, you can create an ASP.net (ASPX) script to handle this.

If you don't want to parse the field values, you just want to save the entire session, then you won't need 3rd party tools; otherwise, you can use iText products, such as iText (Java), iTextSharp (.Net), or FDFToolkit.net.

Parsing means: take the FDF data or XML based form data, and get the values for each field in the PDF form submission.
