Can you please post a PDF exhibiting the issue and what you're sending/receiving from the server?

I attached what is needed, to replicate the problem.
The file testpdf.pdf inludes 2 text fields and a submit button. The data will be submitted to http://localhost/pdfsubmit.php. I attached the PHP file, which will store the post data in tmp/file if tmp exists in the web root and has the write permission set.
If you place the PDF and the PHP in your web root and open the Form in your browser entering http://localhost/testpdf.pdf, fill it and submit, the post data will be stored in tmp/file. It is always posted as FDF no matter how you exported the file from Libre-/Openoffice.
The attached PHP will respond with a HTTP redirect, but Chrome doesn't respond. It also doesn't respond to a new PDF document or a FDF.

I also attached the ODT where you can change the submission URL to your needs and export the file as PDF from the Libre-/Openoffice.

If you need more information, like how to work with PDF forms in Libre-/Openoffice let me know.


If you could also give some information, wether Chrome processes the response from PDF form submissions at all, I would be greatful.

This may be a feature request since we didn't have that implemented yet.
