Button - Submit Email
I am having a very difficult time creating a Button in LiveCycle Designer that works correctly as I want. I've read at least 10 articles and everyone of them dispute one another in method.
Basically, I want a user to fill out this form and then hit the Email Submit Button and it sends that PDF to User1 and cc's User2, but I understand that the user that fills out the form must have Adobe Acrobat and not just Reader.
So that leads me back to creating a regular button. When I do this I cannot find a JavaScript code that actually works to what I would like it to. All I want is a hardcoded To and CC, hardcoded and variable Subject, and hardcoded Message Body with the PDF attached. (Variable Subject would take fields from the document to create a line.) I would also like to rename the file sent with the same fields as used in the Subject line.
Is this possible?
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1
OS Win 7 64 Bit

I wanted to share what I go to work, but we have decided to go another way since our users could not send the form with data through the submit button. I will just have them print to PDF and email to the correct people - clunky I know, but so is the lack of functionality with Adobe Reader.
form1.NewProjectRequestForm.Button1::click - (JavaScript, client)
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cCc: "[email protected]",
cSubject: "New Site Requested:" + " " + SiteCode.rawValue + " - " + Description.rawValue + " -- " + "Requested by:" + " " + Requestor.rawValue + " @ " + RequestDate.rawValue,
cMsg: "New Site Requested" + " " + SiteCode.rawValue + " - " + Description.rawValue

New to Adobe Forms and need help with Submit Email button
I am new to Adobe Forms in Windows. I created a form with a submit email button. When users try to click the button, the message is operation cannot be completed. My test user has Adobe Reader 9 installed. I'm at a loss as to how to resolve the issue. Please assist. TIA!
Three different aspects
1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form. -

I have Form In Which have a button "Submit By Email"
I have Form In which i have a button "Submit By Email". After the submission i want to redirect user to my the home page of my site
It may be that the form has used some new features of AA9 and is not compatibile with AA7. You might try to save with AA7 compatibility.

Please forgive me for what may seem like a novice question, but I am a beginner. We have used live cycle to create a form based on a Word document and put it on our website as a fillable .pdf form. When a user fills out the form and clicks the "Submit Email", the form is returned to us as a .xml document. Is there a way to have the form returned to us as a .pdf form rather than a .xml form? (where we simply print the filled out form and enter the information into our database manually. Please advise - we are a not-for-profit company with no knowledge of xml. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.
Yes it is possible ...here is a thread that discusses the issues.

Submit Email returns filled in PDF document
I has created a fill in form for my website with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0, Forms Function which take me to LiveCycle Designer to create the form. When I insert the SUBMIT EMAIL button the guide says I can get either the data back or a filed in form as an attachment. The default condition seems to be just getting the data back as an XML file.
What I want to get back is the filled in form as an attachment. Each response is "one-of-a-kind" and I don't need to manage the data, merge the data, or consolidate the data. I just need to view the completed form and be able to print it off.
How do I change the default setting in SUBMIT EMAIL from data to filled in form attachment?Thank you for your quick, and helpful response.
I modified my form per your suggestions, sent it to Europe and they were
able to submit it without an error message!
Of course, I received duplicate responses, but at least it worked error
free. Thank you.
Has anyone ever located the root of the Adobe/Lotus Notes problem to
completely eliminate the duplicate address?

Submit Email returns filled in PDF document
This problem has come up in other forum and it's believed to be a bug in
Lotus Notes. One workaround was to put a space next to the comma after the
address. -
New to LiveCycle - Submit Email problem
When I try to distribute a form LiveCycle wants to attach the form to my email. I'm using Yahoo mail. The LiveCycle attachment specifies the folder for the attachment but I've tracked it down to a hidden system folder.
Is there a way to specify the folder that is being used for attachments?
Am I doing something wrong?
TIASure.
I create a simple form with one radio button and an email submit button. I then use the DISTRIBUTE FORM wizard and insert my Yahoo! email address to send the form to myself. The Yahoo! mail interface comes up as normal and asks me to attach the form, giving me the path to the form. I've followed the path to no avail and then realized it may be a path to hidden files and folders.
When I change my view to show hidden files and folders then the form appears and is ready to be attached. Unfortunately, if Microsoft is placing the PDF to be emailed in a temporary folder that is hidden then there's more to this than meets the eye (I expected I should be distributing from the folder I saved the file to!).
I'm figuring I"m missing something in the setup of the file. BTW, I've also tried simply attaching the saved PDF and then emailing. When the email arrives at it's destination and the user opens it the resulting Yahoo! attachment thing happens.
Of course, the user can always save the PDF and resend but doesn't that defeat the purpose of automating via the submit email button?
Any ideas are appreciated.

When I click the share button to email a file from Preview or Safari, I get an error sound
As one other user previously stated with a similar situation:
I use preview all the time to email pdf documents. When I click the share icon then click mail all I get is the "clunk" noise I associated with error messages, but nothing else, no dialogue window and no error message. I can't find anything in the Preview preferences about sharing.
How can I send the file that I am previewing with this sharp button via email. I use Outlook for Mac as my email program. Outlook for Mac 2011 version 14.4.8Do a backup.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all. Restart and test.

Submit email attachement in rich format problem
Here's the issue.
We have a PDF form created with LiveCycle Designer 8.0. It uses the standard button to email the form. When submitting a completed PDF form through email, an email is opened in Outlook and the filled-in PDF form is attached. It all works.
The problem however, is that emails created through this mechanism are plain text format; the default Outlook setting of HTML (or Rich Text) is ignored.
The Outlook version is 2003 SP3
Has anyone encountered this issue,
ThanksHi,
I don't think you can influence this. A form with an email button will generate a plain text email in MS Outlook 2007 (Windows). However the same form and button opened in a Mac environment will respect the default in MS Entourage and send a html email.
I think you are stuck with this behaviour,

Acidentally hit TRASH button on email... EMAIL DISAPPEARED, not in Trash
I accidentally hit the Trash icon on a gmail using the iPhone's Mail app and suddenly it was GONE (gone from the server, gone from the trash, gone from my iphone). I thought it would go to the trash where I could resurrect it but instead, it was deleted permanently. This was a very, very, very important email and I'm very upset. What kind of mail app is this where by lightly brushing the Trash button your email can be obliterated for good.
I am also looking for an answer to this. I have been using my Yahoo mail account on this phone for over a year, but within the last week the trash can to delete an email has stopped working. I have to go back to the list of mail messages to delete from that screen.

Using the Submit button to Email
I was previously using Frontpage and I have just recently
started using DW so a lot of this is still new to me. I did get the
DW8 for dummies book which is helping a lot, although I know being
a member on a forum like this will help much more. So any help is
very much appreciated.
I am new to this site and did a quick search but I wasn't
able to find what I was looking for.
I am basically planning on creating an order form using basic
radio buttons and name, address, contact info, etc... fields.
I wanted to have a button on the batton (like the submit
button) that a customer could click on after filling out the
specific fields and then the whole page/order form (with its
contents) would be emailed to me.
Could the "Submit" be used to do this? I know in the DW 8 for
Dummies book it mentions that the Submit button is for credit card
processing companies to send the info and then come back with the
results, but I just want it to email the completed page/order form
so the credit card can be processed in the office.> Why isn't it as simple as entering in a
"mailto:[email protected]" type of
> thing? Or is it?
It is that simple. However, it is very unreliable. For it to
work, the
visitor filling out the form has to have a properly
configured email client,
that works with the webpage form. That leaves out people
using webmail
services and those using public computers. And- most
computers will put up
a warning screen that the form data is being sent by an
insecure method and
give the person a choice to send or cancel.

Setting up a form processing script can be very simple.
First step- check your hosting's support/FAQ section for info
about forms
and scripts.
if your hosting has a control panel or CPanel, look there for
a
pre-installed script and instructions on using it.
The free kaosmailer extension at
http://kaosweaver.com will create
the
scripting for you, within dreamweaver, for your choice of
asp/php/coldfusion. (pick the one your hosting supports)
A php script is phpformmail at
http://boaddrink.com
An asp script is at
http://www.brainjar.com/asp/formmail/
A cgi/Perl script would be at
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net
(but it would
be my last choice, a php script would be far easier to set
up)
Any further specifics totally depend on what scripting method
you can use on
this hosting, and on what script you want to use. -
How can I set the submit button to email only certain pages of the pdf not the entire pdf?
We have a pdf that is a hundred pages or so where each page is an individual product that the customer can select for purchase. At the end of the pdf is an order form. We want to be able to email just the few pages which are the form as a pdf. The default function of the submit button is to email back the entire pdf. As there any way to just select whcih pages would be submitted?
The problem is for people not using an email client like Outlook. In the version of Reader my boss was using, you had to save the FDF file to your hard disk and then open your browser to go to your web based email and write an email and attach the file. In the newest version of Reader it will open a browser window and create a draft for you, but he thought it was to much work if people were using older versions of Reader. He was really looking for something straightforward where all they had to do is push a button and it was submitted.

Submit button via email isn't working as expected
I've read everything I can find and tried all the suggestions. I have a fairly simple form I'd like to post on a community council site for the community members to complete online then submit or print to fax or mail. The Submit button returns an error "This operation is not permitted." I am using mailto:[email protected] and have it set to send the etire PDF.
This is true for both Acrobat Pro X and 9. I may just be tired, but I just can't see what i'm doing wrong.
Suggestions?That tends to indicate that the document is not Reader-enabled, which it needs to beif you want Reader to send the entire PDF. To Reader-enable with Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
