Submit via email: Error

Hi- Been trying to make a functioning "Submit via email" button. I used the Form rather than the Submit buttin in Livecycle, chose PDF in the Object menu, and put my list of email addresses in there. This is for inter-office use only, we all use Outlook. I have saved my Livecycle form as Reader-Enabled. Our employees will be filling the form in Adobe Reader, then I would like them to be able to just click a button on the form to email the filled PDF to everyone else in the company (all the addresses in the Object palette field).
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/78503370/AFBS_NewFacility_DRE.pdf
I think it worked once when I tested it in Livecycle Preview. Now, testing it in both Acrobat and Reader, absolutely nothing happens.
How on earth can I get this to work?
many thanks!
Laura

Hi Radzmar,
Thank you for responding! When I look at the button on the Object palette, it says that it's a regular button: not an email button, not an http button: how can you tell it's an http button?
I had read in the forums that you have to use the regular button in the Object Library to create an email submit button because the email button in the Object Library does not allow you to specify to email as a PDF rather than just the data. At this point I'm a little confused...
Many thanks!
Laura

Submit via email without an email program

I want to submit via email without an email program like in windows using the maildoc() it uses outlook but i want to make it more universal(for use on computers where outlook, iMail, or some sort of program set up to send and multi-OS) where it will login to my own SMTP server to send the whole pdf as an attachment. I am using Acrobat X Pro

You can't set up a form to do that, but you can set it up so that it submits to a web server, which can do the job of forwarding it along in an email. You just need to program the web server to do so.

LiveCycle ES2 - add cc to Submit via Email button

I did find a discussion on this subject but I am unable to view the sample provided.

I don't see where I can edit the script on the button.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank You.

Acrobat 7 Pro - form won't submit via email, and data won't submit either

Hi. I am trying to create a form for end users at my website to be able to open the form in Reader, enter their data in the form, and click on the "Submit" button to email it back to me (or any other way it can come back would be okay... as long as I can get the data).
In doing some research on program software needed to do this, I came to the conclusion I needed to have the Adobe suite (Acrobat Pro 7, Distiller 7, and Designer 7), and so I spent a lot of money obtaining this software. I also have just downloaded Reader 9.0 (the most recent).
Here are some particulars:
1. Following directions Ive found on Adobe online, and the Help files as well as in this forum, in the form (in Designer), I have the Submit button going to a URL of mailto:[email protected].
2. I've saved the form as a Static PDF Form File in Designer. Things are going well.
3. The form works great in PDF Preview all form fields are setup and act correctly. Super!
4. I FTP my file to the appropriate website, where once the link to the form is clicked the form opens (in Reader) for my users. Perfect!
5. The user then opens the form, and before they start to fill it out, a popup shows this:
Sending Data Fields By Email. Please note: This form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file containing data you type into this form. However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember, you cannot save a completed copy of this form with Adobe Reader 9
Then you have the option to Dont show again and a button to Close.
6. After clicking Close, the user is then able to fill in the fields. These fields are standard fields, nothing exceptional, nothing fancy, just text.
7. At the end of the form is the Submit button. When a user clicks this, NOTHING happens. Even when you try to do the File/Send thing, the form will send, but none of the data. Im not so happy right now L
8. In this forum, I now see directions to Reader Enable in Adobe Pro (I do have Adobe Pro). The directions say Advanced/Enable Reader (as in one of the above posts is stated, 'Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader'). However, I do not have an Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader under my Advanced tab. So, continuing to read in other similar posts, I find others dont have this option either so, one question is, where is it??? ;-)
9. Now I see what appears to be another piece of Adobe software that I need, that is LiveCycle? I think Im getting in over my head, as I dont understand
I am new to all this, and am doing my best, but now Im totally confused. All I want to do is have my measly little form open up and have people fill it in and email it back to me so that I can take that data and work with it.
I run (or am trying to run) a non-profit (i.e., Im paying 100% of the bill) website for local Humane Societies who can facilitate offering online Adoption Applications (this is the form Im trying to make happen). I got the form made, and its fillable its just not being able to be submitted online; and when it DID get submitted (first try or so), it came through with no data, and the .xml file data wouldnt populate.
Bottom line question: Is this, what Im trying to do, feasible or not? Im just a simple soul trying to help out some animals. Im not a programmer, so if thats what it takes I guess Im gonna have to give up and forget it. I only wanted to help make things easer for folks to adopt a pet.
Any help by anyone would be totally and gratefully appreciated. Thank you.
keywords: empty form, form not submitting, can't email form, data not transferring, no data in form, can't submit form, can't submit data

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.

Submit via Email Button

Hello,
What Form is it?
I have developed a timesheet form that was coverted from a excel spreadsheet into pdf. The form is located on the Comapny's Intranet for all staff to access. It was currently used to print out and fill in by hand until we started reducing ther amount we print.
The issue?
I am having an issue when submitting a form via email. It will open up Outlook and attach to the outgoing mail but it attaches as an xml. I am curious as too how I change this to a pdf. Been bugging me for a while now and I have had no luck myself.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

George thank you for your reply.
The problem I have at the minute is I have used a simple Submit By Email and even when I test that with adobe reader or preview in when I am editing the form I still get xml file format.
I have tried to create a simple button and change its control type to a Submit and it brings up a Submit tab and says Submit to URL. It also allows me to change the file to a pdf. Am I in the right place?

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,

Working on Lion, trying to share photos via email, error message: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination". Regular email works fine, don't know how to fix this.

Having trouble with sharing photos via email on my desktop Imac. Error Message when I try to send: "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination. Normal email inbox/outbox works fine, error message only comes up when using "Sharing photos".
Not sure how to fix this, please help.

Are you trying to email directly from iPhoto? If so, check iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts tab and make sure your details are entered correctly there.

Submit via email as a full PDF in ES2.5?

Hi There,
I need to add a button in my form which submits the form via email as a full PDF, not the XML it defaultly sends as. I have scoured the internet and I have followed some suggestions (change the coding, do plain submit and have the URL as mailto:[email protected], change permissions (even though I can't find the advanced menu in reader...?) although none seem to work.
I would really appreciate any help.

Hi Niall:
I had the same issue a few days ago and got it sorted, you can too
To get the reader enabled. Open the pdf in Acrobat Pro (I am using x) then under file > save as > reader extended pdf > "select" enable additional features. That should take care of that part

Iphoto can't share via email; error message: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

I can never share via email, using iPhoto. The error: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. always pops up. I have no problems with my server or internet connection.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account there. Then add it back. If that fails you can select Mail as your email client in iPhoto as that's more reliable and flexible. It also offers stationary for photos that are not unlike those in iPhoto's client:
and using Mail as the client will allow you to have a Sent copy automatically.

Problem with Submit via Email Button

When I open the PDF on my desktop and click the submit button it gives me the option of internet or desktop email program. Both of those work fine. But when I load the pdf onto my website, open the form from there and try to submit it neither option works.
1. When I click the Desktop Email Application - nothing at all happens. (we use groupwise)
2. When I click the internet email button it asks me to name the file but then when i try to save it i get this error: Acrobat Could not open the file XXXXXXXXX Detailed Error: A file error has occured.
Here is a link to the form: http://csa.niu.edu/extprograms/_pdf/arts/CSA%20Live%20Reg%20v3.pdf
PS - Also it does not work in chrome or firefox which is annoying you have to use IE. If you have thoughts about how to fix that I would appreciate it! I tried lowering the adobe version from 9 to 8 which did nothing and when i lowered it to 7 it displayed but nothing worked in the form.
Any help would be awesome!
Thank You!

Here's a link with instructions on how to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF Reader, and disable each browsers default PDF "Viewers".
Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
IE doesn't have a built in PDF Viewer, and other browser's PDF Viewers such as Chrome and FF, don't allow submissions.
Note: Adobe Reader users need to have the form's usage rights extended so Adobe Reader users can submit PDF format. Otherwise, Adobe Reader users are limited to submitting data formats only (FDF, XML, XFDF, XDP), not the whole PDF.
Also: For compatibility and security reasons you should set the submit button URL to point to a server-side script such as PHP or ASP.net, and bypass client-side email software.
For examples on how to submit to a server-side script check out the following:

Digital Signature prevents submit via email and print

A form works perfectly well until I insert a digital signature into a digital signature box. So if the digital signature box is empty the buttons still work but sign the wrecked thing and nothing works anymore. I have created new signatures but nothing seems to work. Can you shed any light on this?

The problem is that the "Lock Fields After Signing" property is enabled (see attached screen shot). Buttons are considered fields, therefore when the signature is applied, the buttons are locked and can no longer be clicked. To fix this you can disable the property, or better yet create a field collection and select the specific fields that you want to lock if a signature is applied.

Steve

How to add to and cc fields via email submit button

I have created a form which requires pdf format. I need the form to submit via email with the option to change/select the to: and also add a cc: field with selection as well. Please provide any information available as I am new to livecycle and am not very familiar with script or code.
Thanks!

The name if you don't understand is only a name for the variable and is an combination from english and german.
Subject is the english word for Betreff
Message is the english word for Nachricht.
You could use this:
//fill in e-mail
var Mailto = Formular1.s1.email.rawValue;
//var Mailto = "[email protected]";
//fill in subject
var SubjectEmail = Formular1.s1.betreff.rawValue;
//var SubjectEmail = "Test-Subject";
//fill in message
var MessageEmail = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: "
+ Formular1.s1.name.rawValue + "\rDate: " + Formular1.s1.dateEmail.formattedValue;
//var MessageEmail = "This is a test message.\r2.row start here.\r3.row here.";
//fill in e-mail cc
var CC = Formular1.s1.emailcc.rawValue;
//var CC = "[email protected]";
//fill in e-mail bcc
var BCC = Formular1.s1.emailbcc.rawValue;
//var BCC = "[email protected]";
var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + SubjectEmail + "&Body=" + MessageEmail + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
//cSubmitAs: "PDF" send the pdf as attachment
//cSubmitAs: "XML" send the pdf as xml-attachment
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: Mail,
bEmpty: true,
cSubmitAs: "XML"
I come from Germany and this is my script (therefore in german) I have try to change the german words in english words...
Here you will find an example: https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=4adT3ExjCSsr7HpoDuKq7Q

Document Signatures and Submiting via email

Hi,
My issue involves submitting an email and populating a document signature.
Using javascript I've set the preSubmit field to have the following line of code:
Page1.SignatureField1.validate.nullTest = "error";
I've enabled in Acrobat Professional 8, Enable Usage Rights.
While testing the form, when I select Submit by Email I get the error saying that "At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing."
All well and good as this is what I want to occur.
The problem is once I sign the the document (which is the field that I've set to be validated in the above code), then click submit via email again I still get the above error message.
I tested this with the other objects such as text fields etc, they all work fine. The problem only occurs while trying to use a document signature field.
What am I doing wrong?

You need to remember the password, Adobe software does not offer any back door or password recovery for the creator.
It is recommended that, when setting certain things for a PDF, you keep the "before" file carefully as well as the "after". These things include security, reader extensions and signatures - all things that can be impossible to undo.

Changing the file name of a PDF you send via email

Hello Support,
I am trying to find out how to change the file name of the attachment I send via email when I click submit via email. I would like the file to be sent with the file name, not some other file name.
How can I fix it? This is very urgent! I need HELP!
Cheers
Joel

Hi,
you can't.
Except you save the file under a different name before you send it.

LiveCycle ES2 - How to Add Cc Addresses to "Submit via E-mail" Button

I have an existing form with a "submit via email" button that functions perfectly. I have now been asked to add two names as Cc for the submittal. I cannot figure out the correct way to edit this script.
I can add the two new names in the "mailto:" - but they prefer to be Cced. How do I set this up?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jayne Morley

My sincere thanks Srini! Your shared information allowed me to get this one figured out. I have tested my form and it now works exactly as needed.
I cannot see a way to mark the question as “answered” on the forum. But it certainly should be.
I appreciate your time and attention in assisting me. You ROCK!
