submitting form from attachment is not working in Reader 9

There are some different ways of submitting data that you can try. But what you are seeing is definately a bug. Contact Adobe Support. Hopefully they'll fix this for the next minor release.

But here are a couple of other techniques you can try.

1. Try using the built-in submit action. If it works your set, and if not it gives you a better idea of the scrope of the problem.

2. Try using one of the email submit functions such as "this.mailForm()"

3. Try activating the submit from the parent (main) PDF, like this

var oAttachedForm = this.openDataObject("MyForm");
oAttachedForm.submitForm(...);

4. Last Option: From a button script on the parent (main) PDF. Collect all the form data from the attached form, build a custom XML and then submit it. This way the submit is from the main PDF and not the attachement.
