Sending PDF form directly to email

Is it possible to send filled PDF form directly from Acrobat Pro or Reader to requested email by clicking the SEND button? Or does it always go via senders email application?
What should be done to get it going directly?

Is it possible to send filled PDF form directly from Acrobat Pro or Reader to requested email by clicking the SEND button? Or does it always go via senders email application?
Answer: To bypass client-side email software the form needs to submit to a server side script such as PHP or ASP.net.
What should be done to get it going directly?
Answer: You will need an SMTP account, a web server and server-side programming knowledge. The script would need take the inbound submission stream and pass it to the outbound SMTP message, and return a FDF response message or redirect to a URL. If you are using ASP.net, you can use iTextSharp or FDFToolkit.net to parse the submission, and inject the values directly into the message TO, CC, BCC, subject and body.

Has anyone tried to send a form in an email campaign?

I am looking into sending a form for prospects to fill in an score themselves. When I send the form via the email campaign the fields fill but the information does not post.
Is this possible?

They don't work reliably in email. See this link for more info: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/will-it-work/forms/

How do I make a submit button that sends the form to an email address?

I can see how to link to an email which then opens up an email someone could attach the form to. But I do not see how to make a button that automatically sends the form to an email address. Can someone provide assistance? Thanks!

I have the same question. You'd thing this would be a no brainer requirement for a form.

Send PDF form to email address user enters in textfield on form.

I would like to be able to allow the person using the form to choose what email address the PDF form is emailed to. I read this post which sounds like what I want but I keep getting a Submit Cancelled error. The email does get generated and the form is attached as a PDF so that part works okay.

This is the code I am using as I only need the To: address populated.
form1.Page1.Button1::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
var strToAddress
//Capture the values from the form fields.
strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Hi,
There is an example here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ.
// Declare the variable
var vEmail;
// Check that the email field is not null
if (txtToAddress.rawValue !== null) {
vEmail = txtToAddress.rawValue;
// Send email
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: " + vEmail + "?subject=&body=",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Send PDF form IPad document doesnt appear in email.

I use the Ipad for sending PDF's to clients and internal coworkers
the emial looks like it makes it out looking at the sent mail from the ipad
but the attachment is compromized - outlook user says "no attachment"
If I save a draft of the email first often the sent PDF file will make it thorugh - but not always.
This was the last issue
- This is what I see in my "out box" in outlook on the PC
On the Ipad - every thing looks great.
What is the problem - ibooks - email on Ipad.- What are your sugestions.

My final solution was to post the form and offer a link to dowload/install Adobe Reader and to also offer a link for Chrome users.
* I will continue to look for a better solution, but at least the above is functioning.
**I also set my bUI to true.
Many thanks, Tim
P.S. I did report this to Google Chrome, heard nothing yet. Also if you think of a better solution let me know. I'm not familiar with javascript........I have a better understanding of HTML.......if this were HTML I would have done the below.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("this is an alert");
function go() {
                alert("Hi");
                var location = document.getElementById("location").value;
                //console.println("location: = " + location);
                var email = "";
                email = "[email protected]";
                if (location == "Select a location")
                                                alert("You need to select a location first");
                else if (location == "Other")
                                email = "[email protected]";
                if (email != "")
                                //this.mailDoc({bUI:true,cTo:email,cSubject:location,cMsg:"Completed Employee Appointment Request Attached"});
                                                window.open('mailto:' + email + '?subject=' + encodeURIComponent(location));
</script>
                This is a test
                <input type="text" id="location" value="Select a location">
                <input type="button" value="submit" onclick="go()">
</body>
</html>

Send PDF form to e-mail as attachment with a PHP script on the server

Hi,
For several days I've been searching though the internet looking for a solution, a quite simple one in my opinion, but I got a little desperate not getting any result I want.
Okay. The Situation.
I have a PDF form to order sandwiches and drinks.
The PDF has serveral area's and columns where customers fill in the amount of the products they would like to order.
At a position of a field, the kitchen can almost blindly see what products a customer ordered.
Therefore, when someone fills in the form, I want to send the filled PDF by e-mail to the kitchen's e-mail adress. And important: the PDF in the kitchen's mailbox should be completely identical to the form the customer filled in.
So, I have an Order button in my form. I set the action as 'Submit a form'.
In the settings under 'Enter a URL for this link' I used just some PHP mailer script I also use on my website contact form.
IF I check 'HTML' under 'Export Format' the PHP mailer works fine. I receive an HTML e-mail listed the ordered products.
BUT
I do want the original filled PDF in my mailbox instead of an HTML e-mail.
So, for 'Export Format' I checked 'PDF The Complete Document'.
But then my PHP mailer script doesn't work anymore.
It gives errors like 'no valid e-mail adres' , etcetera etcetera.
Who has a solution?
Who has a working standard PHP script for me what just sends the kitchen an empty mail with the original PDF as attachment?!
There is no need to use any database or other more complex functionality. Just mail the filled PDF.

You can submit whole PDF format as long as you enable usage rights on the PDF.
Normally Adobe Reader users can only submit the data, XFDF, FDF, XDP, XML.
To enable usage rights on the PDF you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Std/Pro.
As for the PHP Script; it depends on your PHP web server capabilities.
The script will be slightly different, if the server uses PHP Mail or PHP PEAR.
Just attach the submission to an email and send.
If the client is submitting the form from a standalone pdf reader app, you can also respond with a success or failure FDF \status message; otherwise, you can redirect to a success / failure URL.

Save & Send PDF Form

Hi all,
I'm trying to program a function in my PDF form that will automaticly save the PDF form in a folder and then sends the (just saved) PDF form attached in an e-mail.
I've got the mail function working with my submit button. The only question is how can i get my PDF form to first save and then send the form?
I've treid several saving scripts but couldn't get it working.
Could you guys help me out?
Kind Regards,
Vincent
Below my code:
// Set up the recipients,subject, body, etc.
var sTo = this.getField("Unit").value;
var sBCC = "[email protected]";
var sSubject = "Nice subject";
var sBody = "Bla bla bla";
// Set the error messge to display if it doesn't work, \r = carriage return
var sErrorMsg = "Could not send email. Please make sure your email client is set up correctly.\r\r";
sErrorMsg += "Otherwise, save this file and manually attach it to an email to: " + sTo +" [email protected]";
// Email the entire document
try {
    mailDoc({
    bUI: true,
    cTo: sTo,
    cBcc: sBCC,
    cSubject: sSubject,
    cMsg: sBody
} catch(e) {
    app.alert(sErrorMsg, 1);

To save with a script, you'll have to use the doc.saveAs method. There are a number of security related issues you'll have to deal with, as discussed here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

Secure pdf form sent by email

I created a self-signed digital ID for both signature end data encryption.
Then I created a pdf form by using livecycle and put it on our website, and after users fill it in, they will click submit by email to submit the data.
I tried to create a self-signed digital ID.- that also does data encryption. Then I did a test to fill the form, send by email. I suppose it has encrypted the attached PDF form, but I can open it just like regular form without encryption. How can I know if it is encrypted or not?
Thanks

This is my exact concern. I want to know that return email with xml data files are encrypted for confidentiality. Does anyone know how this is done?

Not Able to send pdf as attachment through email

Hi,
I am trying to send the generated pdf as attachment throught email and for the same i am referring to this blog
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3417100)ID1409662650DB01562818410448928630End?blog=/pub/wlg/8551

Can any one please help me out with a solution ?? Any suggestions are welcomed
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
Thanks for your reply , but i cannot set the enabled property of the form as true as we are not using the licensed version of the live cycle designer . But if i try the example step by step then even by setting the enabled property as false , the pdf is generated and sent through the email and when i am trying to do the same thing in one of my applications its not working . The pdf is generated but as soon as i click on the button send mail the above told error is displayed .
There needs to be some other explaination for the error

PDF form user enabled email copy issue

A form created in Adobe 9 Pro was user enabled and published to
local intranet site. Users fill in the form and use button to send by email
selecting 'send copy' but are sending blank forms instead of the filled in form. Have re-published twice and tested using Pro; when sent by Reader 8 users, it is sending blank form. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks for the reply.
I did not know how to express myself. (I am rather non-technical)
I do mean the completed form needs to be emailed to my client using CGImail.
Based on my understanding (which may be wrong), the entire form completed form must be sent to my client as a PDF.
(As I understand it, this is required by law covering the industry my client is in. I don't believe that just the answers can be returned and my client assembles the form and answers, but I may be wrong.)
Am I asking for something that cannot be done?
Is there another (better) way to build this form not using Acrobat 9?
Thanks again for any help.

SENDING PDF FORMS VIA MAILS

Dear friends,
I have to developed one object through which i can send
my invoice print in pdf format to the respected users email id.
Can this be also done via using attachment.
We are taking Print using va02 and out put type zsin.
Please help me out.
Thanks and Regards
vivek

Vivek do you mean that you want to create a attachment of type PDF and this dcouemnt is a online document and
can you let me know are you using any ABAP program or a workflow to send the email.
Try like this
In the program you make use of the FM FP_FUNCTON_MODULE_NAME and you have to call the function module that is generated by the above FM.
The Properties of ADOBE forms are associated with the structure FP_FORMOUPUT fill the relevant fields in the structure.
Now after performing the above two steps you need to convert the PDF form to BINARY for this you have to make use of the FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY this is because you have to pass the binary content to the workflow conatiner using the Fm SAP_WAPI_WORKFLOW_START by using conatiner parameter of TABLES part.
create a Z BO or if you are familiar with OO ABAP then create a class and inside that class or BO create a method in side this method all you to do is the converted PDF to BINARY for this use
SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING and after converting call the FM SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD.
In SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD you have to pass the document attributes for like name , type title, so for this you have to fill a structure of type SWR_ATT_ID and you have to pass this to SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD and this FM will retrun a DOC ID and you ahve to pass this ID to the TASK and the from TASK to workflow &_ATTACH_OBJECTS& in the workflow is responsible to handle the attachments...

Send PDF form to FTP server folder

I am not sure if this is possible, but one of my clients wants it, so I'm checking. They have a PDF form set up that currently sends the attachment via the user's email program. My client doesn't like that. So they want it to when a user fills out the PDF and submits it, the filled out PDF is sent to an FTP folder they can access. Is it possible to send a PDF to a specified FTP folder? If so, what all would be needed?
Thanks

Not possible. You can submit to a web server, which can then save the file somewhere, but this would involve some programming.

DW CS5, Sending contact form results to email with page redirection using php script

I am currently building a site from scratch with Dreamweaver, with the intent of replacing my current website layout that was designed using Intuit's website builder. My dreamweaver site is not online, but i have setup a local test server on my computer, using XAMPP, and i have an apache server with a MySQL database and a mercury mailserver running. I mention that in case it makes a difference in your answers. If necessary, I can include those settings, but that may be asking too much.
I have an html contact form for users to schedule service appointments. I need the resulting actioned php file to do the following after submit is clicked: verify certain fields have been entered; prevent spammers or verify human visitors; send the form results to a (hidden from public view of any kind) email address; redirect user to a confirmation page, or an error page.
I found the following code but being less than a newbie im not sure what needs to be changed, or if its even the right script i should be using:
5 <?php
6 $email = $_POST['email'];
7 $mailto = '[email protected]';
8 $mailsubj = 'You Have a Service Request';
9 $url = '/MyLandingPage.html';
10 $req = '0';
11 $mailbody = "Results from form:\r\n";
12 $space = ' ';
13 $line = '
14 ';
15 foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
16 {
17 if ($req == '1')
18 {
19 if ($value == '')
20 {echo "$key is empty";die;}
21 }
22 $j = strlen($key);
23 if ($j >= 20)
24 {echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
25 $j = 20 - $j;
26 for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
27 {$space .= ' ';}
28 $value = str_replace('\r\n', "$line", $value);
29 $conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
30 $text .= $conc;
31 $space = ' ';
32 }
33 mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
34 echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
35 ?>
Can anyone please illuminate me on what I need?
Thank You in advance
