I have a Web Forms App that is serving a Pdf form to be filled then submitted by the User. The Application is working fine in IE but it does not submit the form in other modern browsers. In IE it uses Adobe Acrobat to open the form and then submits in the Browser. I installed Adobe Acrobat extension in Chrome but still didn't work. Is there a way I can get this working Chrome?
Note : I can have the users Download the Form and fill then submit in their local Acrobat, but It will not work since We are securing the service and the user needs to be authenticated.
Thank you in advance

I have a simple app deployed in GitHub pages (my web-app). The app has some inputs and I tried to use it offline on my Android phone, by clicking the download button on Chrome, which downloads the HTML; but all the inputs and buttons are disabled.
If I click the file that was downloaded in 'Files' and try to open it on Chrome or Brave, all the inputs appear to be disabled, but when I refresh (or enter online mode again), they return to be available.
Is there a work around to this?. I want to build an offline web-app, but it seems that forms can't be incorporated.
I tried to test this error in dev tools using my computer, since there is an option to emulate being disconnected from the internet. But the doesn't go very far, since the website only appears with 'No internet' and not really with the offline view that I get from my cellphone.
Is there anyway to embed a fillable pdf form on a web page that the viewer would be able to fill out and send with the Adobe submit function? without having to click through or download the actual pdf
thanks
By default, the Adobe Reader will display a PDF in Protected Mode when it's viewed in a browser, for security reasons it's basically not interactive. Users can add your domain to a trusted host and then the PDF becomes interactive.
However, you can't really count on the PDF being opened in an Adobe viewer (Reader or Acrobat) when it's opened in a browser even when an Adobe viewer is installed on the machine and set as the default handler for that file type. The most common browsers have PDF viewers built in that just don't function in the same way as their Adobe counterparts.
You're really much better off linking to the PDF form in a way that forces the PDF to download (through .htaccess or something) and open in the default handler.
Using an Android phone, when i click on a pdf link (i.e. example.com/abc.pdf), Chrome downloads it. I want Chrome to directly open it with the default pdf viewer of the user. So i think i need to use:
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents
I do not want to force user to open it with a specific app (i.e. adobe reader) so i do not know the package name.
Any help?
If it is not possible, how to open it with adobe reader?
many hours of trying...and at last...
open pdf
I have made a acrobat form and submit it to my PHP script. It is working fine when I open the PDF with adobe acrobat and submit it.
But When I put them in a web server it is not submitting the data. It seems that submit button is doing nothing.
What is the proper way to display acrobat pdf form in a html webpage?
Thanks in advance.
I have a PDF document, using a button on the form I submit to a URL using
this.submitForm(url, false);
works fine with Adobe Reader Plugin but not with Chrome PDF Viewer, does Chrome PDF Viewer submit forms using a different method?
Chrome has its own PDF viewer called Chrome PDF Viewer, and AcroJS won't work (mostly) on Chrome PDF Viewer. One needs to detect the plug-in, and force the user to use Acrobat Reader if the browser is Chrome's own.
Submitting forms is an not yet implemented feature of Chrome PDF Viewer. See http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=65446 for Details and (missing) progress and star it to push dev's interest.
