> How do I > "Reader-enable" a form ? I believe what they are talking about here is "rights enabling" a PDF form, which can only be done via Adobe Document Server for Reader Extensions (one of Adobe's Enterprise products), not through Adobe Acrobat 6.0. If processed using Adobe Document Server, you are able to "rights enable" a PDF document so that users of the free Adobe Reader can comment, sign and save a PDF document. More details can be found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/server/readerextensions/main.html. What you can do *without* rights enabling a PDF document is have a form button that, when clicked, will submit the data entered into the form fields to a script hosted on a web server. This script could then parse the data and do what you wish with it (store in database, return filled in version of the form to the user, send data as text in an e-mail, etc.). - Chris. ___________________________________ Chris Dahl - CTO, Solutions ARTS PDF [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.artspdf.com/solutions > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hans Maerker > Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 4:59 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PDF-Forms] PDF Forms with "submitForm" not working ( > Reader 6 ) > > > > PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | > http://www.pdfzone.com/ > __________________________________________________________________ > > Hi Guys, > > === ... snip === > >.... or a "Reader-enabled" form. > >__________________________ > >Rob McDougall, Technical Architect > >Indigo Pacific Limited > > > I'm looking for a solution that may fall in the same > category.
