Your findings are correct. There is no way that you can work with PDF forms under a browser in OSX. However, Reader 6 has the capability to do its own submit, without the need for working under the browser. You might try that out.
However, it is not sure at all if the response can be displayed and handled properly.
Hope, this can help.

All our PDF Forms work correctly on the PC with "submitForm" to server. I've tested with AcrobatReader 5 and 6 under browsers Netscape 6, 7 and IE 5, 6. But on the Mac OSX, "submitForm" (AcrobatReader 5 and 6) hasn't work with any browser. I've seen many topics at the Adobe's forum that spoke about this subject since sept or october last year - but I don't see any solution for my problem. Some topic suggest that Reader must be opened in the browser's window, but I don't think we can configure Reader to be opened in the same window's browser on a Mac. Does anyone know a work around to this problem. Has anyone encountered this issue on the Mac?
Here is the code inside of acrobat's javascript for submitting the pdf to server : if (app.viewerVersion == 6.00)
/* if AcrobatReader 6, we don't need suffix "#fdf" */
{
this.submitForm({
cURL: "../../the_server_path/My_page.aspx" ,
cSubmitAs: "XFDF"
});
}
else
{
this.submitForm({
cURL: "../../the_server_path/My_page.aspx#fdf" ,
bXML: true
});
}
this.resetForm();
Any help is welcome.
