Error message "The system cannot connect to the Commission server" - Not receiving a submission number
Your Internet connection is working fine. Nevertheless, when submitting you don't receive a submission number or you get the error message "The system cannot connect to the Commission server".
Two possible reasons could trigger this problem:
1. security reasons Acrobat Reader: A (yellow) banner in the top of the form states: "Some features have been disabled to avoid potential security risks."
Solution: First click on OK so that the error mesage disappears. In the right hand side of the yellow banner you have to click on Options. Two possibilities appear: "Trust this document one time only" or "Trust this document always". Click one option and submit your form.
2. other reason could be the namegiving of your two attached documents (CV and list of publications). Avoid to use a space or a dot (".") in the name of your document(s). If this was the case, change the name of your document(s); attach them again and submit.
