Hi

I too have similar problem.When I tried to
to submit a form from PDF the files opens is
C:\Document and Setting\Administrator\Local Setting\
Temp\1032.htm instead of going to URL "http://localhost/VirtualDirectory/Test/Default.asp"

I put this url in submitForm in JavaScript.

Did you find any solution to the problem?

I am working with PDF on Windows2000 and IIS.

Thanks

Purushottam
