Hmmm. I never heard of a FDF but will do some searches and see what I can
find out. Thanks for the tip.

Users with Reader only cannot submit a complete PDF.
They can, however, submit a FDF which when you receive it will populate the
original form and you can save it.
There are certain forms which have Reader Extensions enabled wherein a user
can complete and save the form. This function costs several thousands of
dollars per form, and is paid by the enterprise which created the form.
The FDF might just work for you.

Subject: [PDF-Basics] Sending Forms in Acrobat
I am trying to create a simple form in Acrobat 6.0 Pro. It's a Quark 5.01
doc that I transformed into Acrobat, then added the text fields and finally
added a submit button with my own email address as the return email. I have
two problems encountered in a test.
The recipient of my test has only Reader, as I assume 99% of my recipients
will have. They won't have the full Acrobat program.
1. The recipient could type data in my form but got a warning message that
stated they could not send or save the data without Acrobat 6.0. WHY?? I
thought the beauty of Acrobat forms was that everyone could use them.
2. When I test the "email submit" button on my system it works great. It
fires up a new email and attaches the form. The recipient gets a warning
that states "cannot perform that function". Is this a problem because that
person may not have the same email system? Lotus, Explorer, etc.? Or is it
the same issue of not having Acrobat 6.0?
My goal is to send a simple one-page form to computer-iliterate people.
Have them fill it out and return it. I am looking for the simplist way.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Brad
