Hello all,
 
I have created a form and included it on my website. This form is intended for users to open in the web browser, fill out and send back to me. I placed a submit button on the form with the intention to use the submit function that acrobat provides.
 
I need to know how do i program this button so that the form gets sent to a folder on my local server. This should be done with little or no affect to my server security.
 
Thank you

Acrobat submits data to a server as an HTTP Get/Post. So, you need a server script to receive the data and write it to a folder. Acrobat can submit the data in a variety of formats, one of which is the standard HTML form submit Post format. So if you have a script for receiving HTML form data, that same script can be used with a PDF form.

There are not many resources out there that explain server scripting for Acrobat. But they are there. Do a google search.
