Submit by Email - asks "as a link or an attachment"

Have designed a form in Acrobat that we want our customers to fill out and return to us via email by clicking on a button.
We have created a button that has the submit by email function.
We have enabled reader rights on the document.
However, when we click the button, the user gets a screen asking:
"How would you like to email this document?
Send a link (URL) to the original, unmodified pdf file on the web?
Send a copy of the pdf file, including your changes, as an attachment?"
All we want to happen is the last option: Send a copy of the pdf file. Is there a setting somewhere that we can tag to skip the scenario above and just proceed to open Outlook and attach the pdf as a file.
Thanks for any suggestions

Apparently this happens if the client is using a webmail client.
If Outlook is the default, Outlook creates a new email with the form as an attachment without a problem.
Not sure about OE or other email clients.
Due to the number of people using webmail, I would be cautious about using the "send as email" function in Adobe.

    I have just received an email asking me to verify if I have used my account to spend 20$ which I have not, I've followed the link and am not sure if this is a hoax ?

    What does the email say, and is it personalised (e.g. does it have your name in the email or just something like 'dear customer') ? There are regular phishing emails trying to get account and payment details.
    You can view your account's purchase history by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, and you should see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it, click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases. If you are using an iOS device then you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • Submit by Email problem

    I created a form with "submit by email" button. When I click on the button it opens into my email just fine, but the email address is listed twice. I checked the object information and the address is only entered once. Can anyone help?

    Before you go too far on the on e-mail submission, what is the purpose of the form in terms of distribution and are you having the PDF or the data submitted. The PDF is an issue, as is e-mail submission itself. They both have problems and more information is needed before you bother with completing what you are trying to do.
    As far as the link, it should be only listed 1 time in the submit button icon.

  • Submit By Email Doesn't Launch Outlook 2010 as Default Mail Client, though Outlook is properly set a

    A form designed in LiveCycle Designer with a Submit By Email button, doesn't launch Outlook 2010 (Standard Edition) when clicked, although Outlook is properly configured as Default Mail Client.  Checked with Microsoft and followed all proper steps yet the button doesn't invoke Outlook onClick.  However, Outlook is launched if a link or html button, set to the mailto syntax is clicked.  Is this a PDF form issue for LiveCycle or is there something I am missing?  Please any ideas?

    I have this problem on Win7 64bit, but it seems to work fine with XP and Vista. Not sure about Win7 32bit.
    I've also seen the problem in the past with programs like Thunderbird set to be the default email client (on XP).
    I've never been able to figure out if it's an Adobe or Microsoft problem. Adobe uses the MAPI settings to find the email client.

  • Submit by email with Mac OS

    Hi there,
    First time posting.  Thanks to everyone who is so amazing at answering questions here. I've learned alot.
    I have a form created with Live Cycle Designer ES4.  I have enabled reader rights by doing "Save as other" in Acrobat Pro.
    The "Submit by Email" function is setup to send the "complete PDF" as an attachment.  It works GREAT on a PC - perfect actually!  I get that popup box asking if I want to use my 'default email application' or 'webmail'.
    On a MAC however, that same button does nothing when pressed.  I have made sure I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader on the mac and that I am not viewing the form through preview or any other app.
    Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get this working on a MAC?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    It’s a wonder you could understand what I meant and glad you got it figured out here is an improved version of what I tried to say: (May help others struggling with same issue.
    Sorry No advice. You can't, because Adobe it its shortsightedness hasn't built in XML based PDF support into the Mac Version. And probably never will. Adobe after 20-25 years still considers Macs as toys not really meant for serious work. Despite the fact, were it not for Mac users, And Adobe writing products for Mac first, they would still amount to a Font House today. For two years or more they wrote exclusively for Mac until PC's accepted them, after Mac Users worked the bugs out. Then we were all but abandoned.
    We can read XML based PDF's, but can do nothing with them . What we can do, is re-save them which converts them to Plain PDF's. Then go to Forms Manager, and setup the form which will work on all Platforms.
    So what you need to do is if you want your audience to include Mac users as well is avoid Lifecycle created forms and don't use any XML Based PDF Form . Create regular PDF forms and will it work on any platform.

  • Submit by Email Without Automatically Sending Email???

    I'm trying to distribute a form that will "submit by email" when the user is finished filling it out. Then when our admin receives the form, have it automatically ask what dataset to add it to.
    This works fine, EXCEPT when the user submits the form, it automatically sends the email right away - straight to the Outlook "Outbox" folder. I want it to create the email (with PDF attachment), but wait for the user to hit send. This is so they can attach additional files to the email or add comments to the body of the email.
    Right now this doesn't seem possible. I can send it without using the "Distribute Form" option in the menus, but then the popup asking what dataset to add it to doesn't appear.
    Any ideas?

    Sure thing, Zoe. Thanks for asking.<br /><br />I've set it up a couple of ways, testing them, and they both seem to work the same way. I currently have it set up with a generic button, type "Button", control type "Submit" with "Submit to URL:" set to "mailto:<emailaddress>" and "Submit as" set to PDF in the Submit tab.<br /><br />I've also used a "Email Submit" button for this, with the email address and subject line set appropriately. Both of these methods seem to work the same way. I haven't tried an "HTTP Submit" button method yet, but I would presume it to work the same also.<br /><br />Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

  • Submit by email function on adobe reader

    I'm trying to apply for a job using an online application on the company's website. The company uses adobe reader. After filling out all the information I click on the submit by email button and get a message saying, "please on enter numerical data for your DOB, etc 01/01/2005 should be entered as 01012005." This is frustrating because I am entering the information as the program asks. After entering my DOB in purely numerical form Adobe adds "/"es after I click on another box. Furthermore, a friend of has successfully filled out the data and submitted the form. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    'Submit by Email' Button:
    I am having a similar issue to one that has already been posted.
    When an email message gets created, the following message appears alongside the email address,
    The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
    The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 for more details.
    Do I need to be concerned about this? Will the email still work? Our customers will be using this form to register for an event, so I don't want to send it out if it does not function properly.
    FYI...I am using Designer 7.0.

  • Multiple signatures, first signs fine, but won't submit via email

    I have a form with three digital signatures. After the first person signs, they click submit to send to the next person who will sign. That person clicks submit after they sign to send the form to HR. However, when the first person signs and clicks submit, the email process opens successfully, but never sends because the message says two signatures are unsigned. This is a true and valid state, but I need the submit button to work even though the additional two signatures to be signed in order.
    FYI, I do have a collections set up on the first two signatures to lock all fields except the signatures and radio buttons on the second signature.
    Thanks for any help available,

    Hi, and thank you for the reply.
    I've already spent several hundred dollars on getting Adobe Acrobat software, and was hoping there was some work-around on this? What did people do before LiveCycle for instance when they needed to get data from submitted forms via email?
    Please don't misunderstand, but as in my example described above, what can a 3rd party do for me (to enable more 'robust rights') that I can't do myself? I'm trying to figure out if I have the software to do it, paid for the software that is "supposed" to do it, why then I need to pay more money to someone else to make the software do what it's supposed to? I sure don't want to have to pay someone to fix it each time I need to make a change in my form for instance...
    I'm confused I guess - I suppose the purpose of my asking on the forum here was to hopefully gain some know-how as how to go about doing this myself vs. paying someone else to do it for me. I want to learn, but just don't know where to start. Or, maybe the software I have just doesn't do what I believed it was capable of doing?
    Guidance and/or suggestions from all on this point would be very appreciated. Thank you.

  • When my wife registered my phone number as her emergency rest number I then received an email asking me to confirm my Apple ID and Apple password.

    When I was asked to confirm my ID and password by Apple it keeps saying ID and password do not match BUT if I go onto iTunes and log in using exactly the same ID and password they work perfectly???
    I cannot register confirmation of acceptance as my wife's emergency backup email address

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Submit by email bypass Select Email client

    I would like to bypass the Select Email Client screen that pops up when you use the submit by email button and automatically have it choose OTHER so that the XML data can be saved to a network drive.
    Is there a way while doing this that I can also have a pop up message that tells the user how to name the file and proper directory in which to place the file?

    No, I don't think this is possible. You could submit the document via HTTP to a servlet (or some server side component) and then email the XDP from there there, or do whatever you want with it. That would be transparent to the user, and I believe this is what Aandi is refering to.
    If you email the document, it will ask the user how they want to email it, ie: desktop mail client, web mail, etc.

  • Is it normal to receive emails asking to verify apple email address after upgrading to new iPhone 4s

    I recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 4s. The phone works fine purchased things from iTunes, then received two emails asking to verify apple email address within a minute of each other, clinked on one link and verified my email and it told me my email was verified but I would have to go to settings to activate mobile me (don't know what that is but it not on my phone) have not clinked on second email. Is this normal.

    MobileMe is dead now.
    Sounds like phishing to me I would delete them

  • HT5622 Why do i keep receiving emails asking to reset my apple id password

    Why do i keep recieving emails asking to reset my apple id password ?

    It looks real, so smeone may be trying to break into your account if you keep receiving them. Rather than use a link in the email, you can use the link below to change your password or set up 2-step verification if your have an iPhone.

  • Why have I been sent an email asking me for my Apple ID and Password. How can I check that this is not a scam.

    I want to know why I have been sent an email from Apple to verify my account by asking for my Apple ID and password.
    how do I know this is genuine and is there a way to check that this is not a scam

    I would be very careful about email asking for your Apple ID and password. These are some of the Official Apple email addresses that would contact you:
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    These email are not to be replied to at all and if the email you receive asks you to reply or has a link that doesn't go the Apple.com or iCloud.com domains, then they are definitely fake.

  • Newbie Q: "Submit by Email" - How do you send entire form?

    I've created a nice form and now would like to use the "Submit by Email" button. But from what I gather it just sends some data and not the whole form. So this begs this question... How does one send the whole form?
    Also in my preliminary testing of the form, when I click on this button it gives me the error message: "An error occurred while sending mail." That tells me squat.
    Anyway I'm not looking to do perform alot of coding here, I just want to use this feature as it suggests. Is that too much to ask?

    1. If you want to submit the whole PDF you can choose that, but
    realise that EVERYONE using this form will need to own Acrobat. This
    is Adobe's marketing stategy, of course they want to sell Acrobat to
    everyone. Similarly, the JavaScript method quoted isn't in the free
    Reader (last time I checked).
    2. E-mail is an incredibly bad way to submit forms for many, many
    reasons. Just some of them are
    * e-mail can get lost
    * e-mail can be mistaken for spam and deleted
    * e-mail can be blocked because the recipient is sent a big file that
    puts them over quota
    * sending e-mail depends on the user having a working e-mail client
    set up on their machine. Millions of people don't, and use hotmail
    instead.
    * users may have multiple e-mail clients, and stuff put into the wrong
    one ends up in their outbox, unsent, forever.
    Submission should be to a web server. As I said, how many web sites do
    you see that "submit" an e-mail? There is a reason for this. What is
    an acceptable proportion of lost forms for you?
