I am working with adobe livecycle and acro 8. I'm producing web forms with return email and print form buttons. The print form button works fine, and the page views smoothly on the web, but no matter what I try, I cannot get this email button to do anything! Not even an error message. I saw a thread where someone suggested using a javascript for this, can anyone help? Thdoc

How did you create the email button? Did you include an email address? How are you testing it?

Did you try setting up the form for distribution with the "Forms > Distribute Form..." menu item in Acrobat?Thom Parker

Thanks for the response.
I'm trying to send this data to a web server. I can get the form to 'ping' the IP address using the http submit function, but it won't save the file data to any file on this server. Do I need a special file or something? I'm testing the form by loading it onto my website after choosing the 'save and send later' function in acro-pro8. I also have the file reader-enabled before submitting.

To send data from a PDF to a web server you have to have a script on the web server that will recieve and proces the data. Set the Submit URL to the URL of the server script. If do not do server side programming, then there are several services that can handle this for you, www.formrouter.com, www.techedsolutions.com, and www.Acrobat.com.
