Submit Form

I created a form in LiveCycle Designer with an HTTP Submit button. When I submit the form using Adobe Reader 7.0, it will submit the data to the web server, but I get the following response: 'cannot handle content type: text/html;charset=utf-8'. If I submit the same form from Acrobat Professional, I do not have any problems. Why is this? I noticed under security settings (in Reader) that 'Submitting Forms' is set to 'not allowed'--how is this setting specified? Is this in any way related to the problem I'm having?

My Product Information:
Reader 7.0.0, Windows

Try enabling usage rights in Adobe Reader before distributing the form. If you are the only one receiving the completed form and you have Acrobat, you could have the results returned as FDF or XFDF instead of HTML.

Your problem seems like my problem that I got today.
I am sorry for late response.
I opened Acrobat Reader 8 in a browser IE7.
And Drag and Drop the PDF that I made using LiveCycle Designer.
I pushed the HTTP Post Button and sent PDF Form Data to ColdFusion8.
Then ColdFusion8 responsed to the browser.
The HTTP Post Button is worked.
This was my solution.

Thank you.
