Wow thanks to all who answered my last post one mre thing and I will be all set.

on the form I am working on I am trying to email the form after it is filled out. I have a button that I set up with an action with the mouse up that it will submit a form. in the action I have it set up as a mailto:me [at] mine [dot] com . I want to send the complete pdf.

when the button is pushed it tells me this operation is not permitted.

any ideas?

thanks in advance

If you have the document opened in Reader, then it requires "Rights" enabling in order to send the entire PDF. You can do the enabling from Acrobat Pro 8. Look on the Advanced menu.

If you have the file open in Acrobat Pro, then there should be no problem emailing the entire PDF. It's possible that something is setup improperly. Do you have an email program on your system?

I am having a similar problem with users trying to submit a form. They have Reader 7 only and do not have Acrobat installed. How do you set the "Rights" when they only have the reader?

Not all users are having this problem. Others can submit fine. The PDF form is a Dynamic Acrobat 7 XML form.

thanks,

You have to use Acrobat Professional 8, Acrobat 9 Standard or better and there is a limit of 500 distributions of a form for both of these products, or use or pay a licnesed 3rd to use Adobe's server product to enable extended user rights.

I used Acrobat 8 (LiveCycle Designer 8) to create the form. The recipients have Adobe Reader 7. They are the ones who cannot submit the form after completion. They also cannot save the PDF locally.

Is the 500 pdf limit for all forms or for a single form created by Acrobat LiveCycle?

Thanks.
