Re: [PDF-Forms] Send Mail or transfer field data from the Reader to a Server

[Vincent Niehaus]

I'll tell how I got ours working but It took some work. I took an old computer no one was using format the drive and installed debian Linux with Apache Web Server, PHP, FDFToolKit, and MySQL database on it. Designed the database and Built a simple intranet site to host our PDF Forms. You have to set up a script on the server to handle form data.
But once you do you can take off from there.

Oh yea I believe you can email the FDF data through Reader but you need a submit button some javascript code and it needs to be in a browser. I may not be 100% right without checking on that first.

At my job I want to put our forms online so people can fill them out and hit submit which will then email the form to me. I have adobe 5.0 and had no problem creating the forms. They work fine on my desktop. My question is do the people filling out and submitting the forms need more than adobe acrobat reader? I have heard both that they do and also that they don't, if they are opening the form within a web browser. If the people need more than the reader what other adobe extensions do they need? Thanks in advance.
