Can this be done? Emailing a completed form without emailing.

When using a standard html form, a user can fill in the required fields, press post, and abracadabra, the results of the form are emailed to the specified account and the user is redirected to a page that says your form has been submitted.
Can this be done using a .pdf? The email button is simply retarded. Why do users have to go through the hassle of having their email client opened just to submit the form they just completed? There probably isn't any other way, but would be nice if there was.
Is it possible to create a submit button that will automatically email the completed .pdf form to a pre-specified email address and then redirect the user to a "thank you" page? I don't want to annoy my customers by forcing them to email me the form. I just want it sent when they click "submit."
Is this even possible? If so, is it relatively easy?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

>Can this be done using a .pdf?
Sure. The principle is exactly the same: you submit data to a script
which runs on a web server. You are limited only by what the
programmer has made the script do. Don't be under any impression that
it is "magic": if you have a web form which submits and then you get
an e-mail it's because there is a script on a web server that a web
programmer wrote to make it happen.
> The email button is simply retarded.
I prefer to think of it as a handy tool for testing, but nothing
anyone would use for the real solution.
>Why do users have to go through the hassle of having their email client ...
They don't. Did you know that you can "submit" an HTML form to e-mail?
But nobody does, because it just isn't a good way of working. Everyone
expects an HTML form to submit to a web script, but for some reason
hopes they can use direct e-mail of PDF forms.

Emailing a completed form without it saying "Form Returned"

Using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.06) to create fillable, savable and emailable forms, with an email button.
When using the users default email program the subject line comes up: Form Returned: xxxx.pdf.
In the email body it states Form Returned: xxx.pdf . The attached file is the filled out form. Please open it to review the data.
When users see the words "Form Returned" they think the email failed to work.
Can this wording be changed so that it is less confusing?

Form Validation - Can this be done?

I have a form with several dropdown menus.
One dropdown menu has two options yes - no
Depending on which option is selected, i want the following
'text' field to
either be greyed out (if 'no' is selected) or editable (if
'yes' is
selected).
Can this be done and if so, how?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Paul
Just tried your code and it does disable the text box no
matter what was
selected from the previous dropdown.
How do i get the code to only disable the text box if the
dropdown has a
particular vaue? i.e. "no"
it would also be great if you could point me in the right
direction
regarding the use of css to grey the text box out.
Much Appreciated.
Andy

How can I automatically email the completed form as a pdf for signing to the respondent?

how can I automatically email the completed form as a pdf for signing to the respondent?

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

I have numbers on mac mini and need to email as an attachment one sheet instead of the 30. Can this be done

Can anyone help please. I have just downloads the numbers app. I have a very large document of which i need to send a separate sheet each week as an attachment via email. Can this be done?. Sadly, I am used to Neo and that was rather easy to do. I could not find the answer for excell either! Surely, saving each sheet separately is not the only answer.

File > Print
set the print range "From " = 1, "To" = 1 in the print dialog, then
click the "PDF" button the bottom left and select "Mail PDF"
If you must send a Numbers document, then I think I would copy the germane content into a new document and save as the current month (or week), then attach that document.

I need to block someone from emailing me, its is also important that they receive an undelivered message when they attempt to email me. Can this be done?

I need to block someone from emailing me, it is important that they receive an undelivered message when they attempt to email me. Can this be done? I do not mind deleting the whole account and starting again, but i have not found a way as of yet.

You can go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com , click on the cogwheel icon at top right, choose 'Rules' and set up a rule that moves all messages from this person to the Trash. However there's no way of producing an 'undelivered' message.
As to deleting the account, this isn't possible; you can abandon using it and start another. If you do this, messages to it will pile up until the storage limit is filled, at which point they will be bounced with an 'Account over limit' message. Alternatively you could set up a 'Vacation message' in the Preferences which would inform anyone sending to that address that it was no longer in use.

I need to read data from a text file and display it in a datagrid.how can this be done..please help

hey ppl
i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.
how can this be done.. and also after every few seconds reading event should be re executed.. and that the contents of the datagrid will keep changing as per the changes in the file...
please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex...
thanks.....

It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.

*Unless you write a bunch of JNI code to replicate what the java.io classes are doing.

Can this be done?

I am formatting a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9. One of my fields is for a credit card number. I have set up a "Special" Arbitrary Mask to the format and limit of numbers that can be entered.
What I would like to do it Mask some of the numbers as they are entered. I entered the Arbitrary Mask as 9999-****-**99-9999. The problem is that this set up is causing the entry to skip the ***. My concern then is that the person entering the data will not realize this skip and not provide the correct ending numbers.
What I would like to happen is that the person entering the data will type the complete 16 digit number and the system will MASK the numbers I designate with an **.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kathy

Hopefully I'm not breaking any posting rules by saying "I think I love you!"
My functional desires always exceed my knowledge level so I want what I don't know how to create. Your script totally worked and I would never have figured that out on my own. I want to learn what you do very badly.
We are masking the numbers for security reasons. We know the numbers being masked but we don't want to store the full number in our records.
Thank you so much for your help, What kind of experience do you have with Access 2007 or 2010?

I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

I want to shoot a movie on my iPhone and edit it on my iPad using the iMovie app. How can this be done via iTunes on my computer?

You can't drag video into the filesharing pane of iTunes, you can only transfer projects.
Videos need to come in via the photos tab of iTunes.
The easiest way to get videos from the iPhone to the iPad is via the project export import.
Projects can be exported from the iPhone, then imported to the iPad like this:
iPhone Send a project or trailer to iTunes
If the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button .
Scroll to center the project or trailer you want to share.
Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap iTunes; tap OK when iMovie indicates that export is complete.
Connect your device to your computer, and then open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and then click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
In the iMovie Documents pane, select the file you just shared, and then click the “Save to” button; save the file to your computer in a place where you can find it easily.You can also save the file by dragging it to the desired location on your computer.
Disconnect the device from your computer.
iPad Import a project or trailer from iTunes
Connect your device to your computer, and open iTunes on your computer.After a moment, your device appears in iTunes, below Devices on the left.
Select the device, and click Apps at the top of the iTunes window.
Select iMovie in the Apps list below File Sharing. (You may need to scroll to see it.)
Click Add below the iMovie Documents pane; in the window that appears, navigate to the file you want to add.
Select the file, and then click Open to copy the file to your device.The file appears in the iMovie Documents pane when copying is complete.
Open iMovie on your device; if the marquee screen isn’t showing, tap the My Projects button in the upper-left corner above the viewer.
Tap the Import button at the bottom of the screen, and then tap the name of the project you want to import.When the import is complete, the project opens and can be edited like any other project.

If the PDF is a form fillable PDF, which I assume that it is, email it to yourself or send it to DropBox and open it on your computer. You should see the fields filled in there. It works for me if I do it that way.
Adobe Reader supports it, but the other apps don't. I assume that if you email the PDF to a computer user it would be readable in Adode Reader.

Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?... or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?

You should be able to forward them to your e-mail, or you could use a text backup app from Google Play that will backup your texts and e-mail them to you (SMS Backup and Restore is an example).

How do I set up two separate iTunes accounts on one MacBook Pro in order to manage the wife's iPhone and my iPhone (with separate info on each of course) ? Can this be done? A little step by step would be greatly appreciated; just short step by step though, I can follow fairly well.

You would each need to use your own user account on the Mac, you can do this at system preferences > users & groups.
