Adobe forms - using form field data to populate subject line and body of email

HI
I have created a form that can be submitted by e-mail. I would like the data entered into the form to populate the subject line and body of the email but have no idea of how to script this. I would be grateful if someone could have a look at the form and see how I can achieve this.
For example
subject line: Travel and accommodation form [Name] [EventName] [StartDate]
Body:
Please open the attached travel and accommodation for for [Name] who will be attending [EventName] on the [Start Date]
Here is the code for my button:
<field name="Submit" y="219.075mm" x="139.7mm" w="34.925mm" h="6mm">
            <ui>
               <button/>
            </ui>
            <font typeface="Myriad Pro"/>
            <caption>
               <value>
                  <text>Submit</text>
               </value>
               <para vAlign="middle" hAlign="center"/>
               <font typeface="Myriad Pro"/>
            </caption>
            <border hand="right">
               <?templateDesigner StyleID apbx2?>
               <edge stroke="raised"/>
               <fill>
                  <color value="212,208,200"/>
               </fill>
            </border>
            <bind match="none"/>
            <event activity="click">
               <submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-16" target=mailto:[email protected] xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf"/>
            </event>
         </field>
Please excuse my ignorance as not competent with XML so any help would be gratefully received. Have already tried some methods posted on here already but not helped.

You should post this to the LiveCycle Designer forum here if you haven't already.

  • Passing form field name to the subject line of the task assign email

    Hello Everyone,
    I am trying to create a process that need to pass one of the field data from a form to the task email assign but could not make it work right as expected. I think I miss something but could not figure it out myself. If any one has done this before, please share your knowledge.
    Thanks in advance,
    Han Dao

    Hi Jasmin,
    I thought it simple thing to do by passing the xPath to the subject line but for some reasons, it does not work instead it show the whole xpath on the subject line. Here is my xpath:
    {$/process_data/FormData/object/data/xdp/datasets/data/FSFIELDS_/Form1936/EmpInfoSub/UserM gr$}
    where Form1936 is the pageName, EmpInfoSub is sub-form, and UserMgr is field name on the form.
    Thanks,

  • Options for read/write form field data with VBA/Reader

    I have a project which requires reading and writing field data to a PDF form using VBA in PowerPoint. The code I have works properly with the full version of Acrobat, but the client this project is for will be using Reader. I'm looking for suggestions to what options I have to be able to access the form field data (I don't need any other features other than access to the field data). Ideally, I would love a solution which doesn't require the client to install anything extra for this to work, but I'm assuming that this isn't possible without an extra install.
    Is there a library that exists in Reader (or could be licensed to be installed on the client's machine) that would allow the data to be read without needing the full version of Acrobat?
    Does a plug-in exist for Reader, or could be written, that would allow this? Writing a plug-in would certainly be beyond my current capabilities, but I am interested in knowing every and any choices that are available.
    Are there any other options to do what I need to do?
    I had originally thought about exporting the form data and parsing it in the VBA program, but this would take a bit more work to write the parsing routine instead of accessing the fields directly. Plus, it appears to me that Exporting is not enabled in Reader.
    Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.

    Thanks for the response; this was my original suggestion, but I don't think this is feasable for our client. I suggested to our account people that this might be the only way to do this (and the easiest, although possibly the costliest since it would have to be purchased for their entire sales force) and they initially said that this would not be an option, so I wanted to be able to cover all the bases, and explore any other ways that they could do what they want. Is this the absolute only option to do this?
    Someone also suggested to me that licensing the Acrobat PDF Library SDK might be a way to do this, or that it could possibly be done with a plug-in for Reader (although from what I have found, Reader plug-ins would have to be approved by Adobe). These options, if possible, are beyond my current knowledge but I do want to be able to give them a complete list of possibilities.
    Thanks again.

  • Exporting one specific pdf form field data to a specific webpage field

    Hello there.
    I am currently creating a form in which I need to export one specific pdf form field data to a specific webpage field to avoid typing it again or hitting ctrl+c and then ctrl+v to the webpage, as there are several records that need to be copied and pasted.
    I read that there is no access to the clipboard within pdf therefore, would like to know if there is any way to do that without accessing the clipboard.
    I am a newbie and have been learning by searching the forums and Google, therefore, would appreciate any insight on whether or not this is possible using javascript or the "submit form" funcion.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi George, thanks for your response!
    The main issue I have is that this web page is in fact a government page in which I have to manually copy and paste information.
    I have no idea how to automate this process - I have access to the scripts on the page to see what I am able to do, but since I do not have much experience (only very basic javascripting), any other insight would be great!

  • Export just certain form field data

    Is it possible, using form fields created in Acrobat XI Pro, to export only certain form field data to a spreadsheet while other form field data is not exported?

    I couldn't find an example form using exportAsText, but as a noobie it would be very helpful to see one.
    Would the code look something like this?
    exportAsText ("field1", "field 2", "field 3")
    Could I put this code into a button that the user can click to implement it? If not, where does the code need to be?

  • Submit pdf form fields data as customized template

    Hi
    Is it possible to submit pdf form fields as a customized template?
    when the form is submited, I want it to be emailed to me as text form and the form field data would be autopopulated into the text template.
    Im not sure but is this how fdf works?
    if so, how do i get my form to be submitted as fdf?
    please help.
    thanks.

    Here you go .....the 3 fields at the top are where you enter data. The allfields field is the field that creates your special format and teh submitted data field is what you woudl recieve in the email. Note that i changed th ebinding for the first three fields so that they are not included as separate items in the data file. This shoudl simplify what you recieve. I cam change the format of what is written to the allfields if you need a different distinction. In this example I hardcoded everything ....depending how many fields there are on yours i woudl use a different approach (using some complicated code) but the concept woudl be the same. I woudl find all of the fields on your form and loop through all of these objects in a for loop construct this will reduce th eamount of code dramatically and also allow you to modify the form to add or remove fields as you see fit without having to change the code.
    Make sense?

  • Adobe form displaying data of previous selected records

    Dear All,
    I have created a wd component consisting of 2 views.
    In the first view i am displaying an ALV. When i select a record and click on the alv button, the second view
    gets called which contains an Adobe Form showing the data.
    The problem i am facing is that the record which gets displayed in the adobe form is the one previous selected record and not the current record which i select.
    Kindly give your valuable suggestions .
    Regards,
    Niti

    Hi ,
    Adobe form is just an external media in your case , it has nothing to do with your data.
    Check what data is getting passed to adobe form via debuging .
    check if your getting the selected element .
    You can also post your code here if possible.
    Regards

  • Adobe form getting data from BADI?

    That's why we have debuggers.  I suggest that you start debugging through the application and see what it is going on. I would find it difficult to see how the Form itself calls a BADI (since a BADI is an exit in ABAP coding).  I would think that the BADI would be called via a service class of the Web Dynpro or the Web Dynpro is calling a function module to process the form.  I would start back with the Web Dynpro and see how it is even initializing the form itself.

  • This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server.........

    Hi everyone,
    I am having issues with a couple of BlackBerry's, where they are receiving a message on their phone saying:
     "This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server."
    Email is from "[email protected]"
    This has only appeared since installing the BlackBerry Desktop Software version 6.
    We have used the link below which resolved the issue on one of the BlackBerry's but on the other neither of the options are there.
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB04254&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
    The link I have just posted references to version 5, just wondered if anyone knows how to resolve it in version 6 or some other option. Original email is still received fine but want to stop the other email about "This message is used to carry data between.......".
    Thanks in Advance.
    Kevin

    An alternative, if you cannot stop it via the two recommended fixes, is to send those messages to your jiunk folder at the email server level so that they never reach your BlackBerry...

  • This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server.

    I have a client with a BlackBerry Pearl 8110. It was (is) configured to receive email from a Microsoft Exchange Server via his Outlook account.  I have uninstalled the Desktop Manager and re-installed ensuring the computer transmits his email via the Re-Director. All settings in the Desktop Manager are correct. The phone was working fine for over 5 years. Now he is getting emails both on his phone and in Outlook saying:
    This message is used to carry data between the BlackBerry handheld and an associated server. Please do not delete, move or respond to this message - it will be processed by the server.
    I have verified that his phone is not attempting to perform the Enterprise Activation process by checking :
    Options > Advanced Options > Enterprise Activation.
    He does however have a Service Book entitled "CMIME"
    How can I resolve this issue?

    Is the user needing the Redirector service?
    Step 1: If you're not using Redirector or Enterprise, you should uninstall Desktop Manager and then reinstall it using the BlackBerry Internet Service option.
    Step 2: On your device, go to: Options > Advanced > Service Book, and delete all service books for [Desktop]

  • Saving form field data with Adobe Reader and Java script.

    We would like to create some customized PDF documents with pre filled form  fields for our customers. The documents will also have extended Java script  functionality to check some entered data and to save the form data to a local  disk.
    Our customers will need to click on their personalized link on our web page  and then download a pdf document with personal pre filled form fields  specifically for that customer.  From our site the PDF file will be dynamically  created and partly filled out with our web application. (The application uses an  external PDF library for the pdf creation).
    They would then need to be able to edit the form fields and save/export  them as a pdf whilst offline.
    The saving/exporting of the data should be implemented by the extended Java  Script functionality (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_developer_guide.pdf). Once the data has been edited they will send the pdf file directly back to  us.
    The issue we have is with regarded to teh EULA for Acrobat Reader. If we  create those documents with an external application is the user allowed to open  those PDF files with his Adobe Reader without breaking the Adobe Reader  Restrictions in the EULA for the Reader?  (http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Reader_Player_AIR_WWEULA-Combined-20080204_1313.pdf, chapter 3.2 Adobe Reader  Restrictions)

    Hello,
    the problem which I have pertains only to the Adobe Reader. Because
    our user will use Adobe Reader to open our pdf documents but it looks
    like that the EULA for the Reader doesn't allow the user to open pdf
    files which have the extended option to save data out of the form
    fields unless!! this feature was created by an adobe product. But I
    created the pdf file not with Adobe. So I don't want our user be punished...
    It is actually a question of the law? departement of Adobe. But there
    is no Forum for that
    Or could you please forward my forum question to somebody of this department.
    I don't want to publish a product where the user breaches the EULA
    every time they are opening it
    Regards
    Niels
