Cannot send attachment in Thunderbird using the email submit button

Hi,
I put together a form and at the top I included an submit by email button.  After a little bit of work I got it to work with Thunderbird but when I try and send the email with the pdf as an attachment it says "Unable to open the temporary file.  Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting."  I know this is not really an adobe question but I'm still hoping someone can help.  Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
Thanks again,
Rob

  • I want to have users submit the form in PDF format but it doesn't work using the email submit button

    Hi all,
    I have a form that I want to be returned to a specific email address as a PDF File. This is so that reservations people can open the pdf, and extract the information from it. Keeping it as a PDF will allow them to easily read and use the form.
    When I use the "Add and Email Submit button" approach, as outlined in the "How to" area, everything works fine, except that the format of the submitted file is in xml, not Pdf which is what I need it in.
    I then tried adding a Button to the document from the Library, and set it's "Control Type" to "Submit". This provided me with the submit sub-tab, where I set the "Submit Format" to PDF. In the "Submit to Url", I entered the following - "mailto:[email protected]" (without the quotes)
    The first approach works, but is not in the PDF format that I need (I believe).
    The second approach keeps giving the following error when one selects the submit button - "This operation is not permitted".
    We use Lotus Notes (yes, I know...not my favorite either, and it may be the problem here).
    Any help that might be provided is greatly appreciated!!

  • How to add hyperlink to file path of pdf when creating email using the email submit button?

    I have a form with an e-mail submit button that opens an outlook email with the .pdf file as an attachmnet, and addressed to the e-mail addresses i put in tthe address field.
    What we are trying to abvoid is sending a bunch of attchement to numerous people, clogging up email space/server space.
    What we would like is not to have the .pdf attched, but rather in the body of the email have a hyperlink to the path of the document. Can this be done, and if so can anyone give me some guidance.
    Thanks in advance
    Ron

    Then you can use something like this:
    app.mailMsg({ bUI: true, cTo: "[email protected]", cSubject: "You can find the file at: " + this.path });
    The path that will be inserted is a so-called "device-independent path", though, so they may not be able to use it directly.
    It's possible to convert it to a "normal" file path, but that is a more complex scripting task.

  • Customise the email submit button with custom email, cc, bcc, subject and body - almost working!!

    Hi
    I have been working on trying to customise the email submit button to custom entry email address, cc, bcc, subject etc etc
    You can use the pre-submit function on the email button
    I am using the following code:
    this.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").format = formatlist.rawValue;
    this.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:"+customemail.rawValue+"?subject="+subject.rawValue+"&cc="+cc.rawValue+"&bcc="+bcc.rawValue+"&body="+body.rawValue;
    THis is picking up values from a dropdown and a series of text boxes the values of each area.
    This works beautifully except for the subject area. For some reason teh subject area copies the entire srting from the subject onwards, all other areas (cc & bcc & body) all only copy the value assigned to its function.
    Any thoughts
    Feels like a bug in the coding but it may also be intentional.
    Thanks

    I believe that there was a bug logged for this issue, here is a workaround.
    Add a regular button to the form used to execute the EmailSubmit button  (you can make the EmailSubmit button invisible)
    On the click event of the "newly added" regular button add your script
    NameOfEmailSubmitButton.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:"+customemail.rawValue+"?subject="+subject.rawValue+"&cc="+cc.rawValue+"&bcc="+bcc.rawValue+"&body="+body.rawValue;
    NameOfEmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");

  • Editing the email on the "email submit button"

    I took over a form from someone else and currently the form is submitting to their email account.(Adobe 8.0) I would like to change their email address to my email address on the form (under the "email submit button). I am trying to do this without creating another new document. How do I do this?

    Open the form in Designer ....click on the button that the user presses to email the form and see if it is in the code on that button. It may also be in the object properties of the button itself.

  • Is it possible to customize the email heading (subject) when using a email submit button

    I have created a button for inserting a completed form into an email. Being the button auto inserts is it possible to customize how the button
    titles the email & subject upon insertion?

    You can have more control on the email subject/ to and CC Email address, if you use a regular button and place the code in the click event.
    Refer to the attached sample below.

    I am currently working with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if its possible to set the e-mail submit button to send both a PDF and XML file when my document is completed by our suppliers.
    I'm using the XML file to upload the information to Sage via an access database and I need the PDF to send to other departments within our organisation.
    Any help anyone can offer would be great!!!

  • Email Submit button trying to save

    When I use the email submit button it is trying to save the form instead of attaching it to an email.  Started doing this since changed OS to WIndows 7 from XP

    instead of using the submit button, use the normal button to send it via email
    Insert this code to send it via email
    var oDoc = event.target;
                                  oDoc.mailDoc({
                                                                                    bUI: false,
                                                                                    cTo: "[email protected]",
                                                                                    cCC: "",
                                                                                    cSubject: "THS Extension Request - " + this.resolveNode("Main1.frmPart1.frmInformation.frmCallUpInfo.txtCallUpRef").rawValue,
                                                                                    cMsg: "Before submiting the email, include attachments 1, 2 and 3:\n"
    Also if you want to validate your form before submitting, you can check before submitting it by email with this
    if (form1.execValidate()){
         //mailDoc

  • Email Submit button issue after distrbution

    I am trying to distribute and collect forms at work using the email submit button. I am able to successfully submit the form when in preview mode, however something happens when I use the distribute function.  I distributed the email to my office as a test and when they click Submit they get a Check Names window that says: Microsoft Outlook does not recognize "1. Double-click the attachment."
    I also attempted to use my home computer (where I do not have Outlook) to submit the email and had no problems submitting (using gmail).
    What is going on, and how do I fix it?

    I didn't so much resolve the issue, as found a way around it. Since the problem only arose when using the email distribute button, I just didn't use it and emailed the survey as an attachment through outlook.
    I suspect the problem comes from upgrading Adobe Acrobat, but no one seems to know.

  • Email Submit Button problem

    I used the Email Submit Button on a couple of forms but it is not working. It creates an email, but the attachment is in .xml format. If I change it to Submit As: PDF, it does not create any email at all. I would like it to create an email with an attachment in pdf format that keeps all the user entered data. Impossible?

    Hi,
    Try doing the following
    try using the simple 'Button'. In the button's object properties, in the tab named 'field', select 'Control Type: submit'.
    Then, in the 'submit' tab in the object properties, choose PDF in the 'submit format' dropdown field.
    In the 'submit to URL field' type:
    mailto:nameataddress.com?subject=mySubject&body=Done
    You may need to adjust the e-mail address, subject and body text.

  • When I try to forward a PDF file by using the email button on the toolbar, it won't send.

    I cannot always forward a PDF using the email button on the toolbar.  For example, I get a report forwarded to me as a link.  When I open the link, the document opens as a PDF.  I use the email button on the toolbar to forward the document as an attachment.  Outlook pops up as a new message with the attachment.  I finish writing my email and hit the "send" button and I get an error saying the doucment couldn't be sent.  If I close the email and save it as a draft, I can open the draft copy and it will send.  Is there someway to fix this so I can eliminate these extra steps?  This has happened on a computer with Adobe Reader as well as a computer with Adobe Acrobate 9 Standard.

    Is that the exact message that Outlooks gives you?
    Anyway, why don't you just forward the original link to the document, instead of the PDF itself?

  • Email submit button doesn't work with Thunderbird

    I created a LiveCycle (v8.2.1) form with the email submit button. Works fine if the sender is using Outlook. If their using Thunderbird, it does not. I installed Thunderbird on my system (normally I use Outlook) and set Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs email to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email program. When I click the Email button on my LiveCycle PDF form, I get a message telling me: Select an Email Client. The "Desktop Email Application" radio button is checked and that should be fine; the explanation for this button indicates that it should be checked "if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.". I leave that checked, since I am using an email application and click OK. After 20-30 seconds, I get a message with the title bar: Microsoft Office Outlook "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook..." Allow|Deny|Help. I click Deny. After a minute or so, an Outlook "New" email window appears with the appropriate information from my LiveCycle PDF form. Right content, wrong email client. Since Thunderbird is my "default" email application, where is LiveCycle coming up with Outlook? What do my customers do who don't use Outlook?
    I hope someone has a good solution.
    Thanks.

    When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
    Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?) Mac users have the Preview Application as their default PDF viewer, and it does not support many interactive features such as form submissions. Although some third-party PDF viewers for Windows support form submissions, many do not.
    For those that do not use PDF viewers that support form submissions, they will have to manually attach the document to an email message.

  • Email Submit Button doesn't use default email software

    When I click the Email Submit button, the form does not use my default email program (Eudora). Instead it uses an old hotmail account which I don't even use anymore.
    All other web pages bring up Eudora when I click on a mail link.
    Only Live Cycle documents do not.
    I have the latest version of LiveCycle.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Add text field into the 'subject' of a email submit button

    I have a form where the client will enter their name, organisation, query and details of their query into text fields.  I would like the text in the 'query' field to be added to the 'subject' of the email submit button.  This will identify different queries submitted by other clients before opening up the completed pdf form attachment.

    if you use ES3 or ES4 you can use my macro to create email scripts with values from form fields.

  • Email submit button doesn't work after digitally signing document

    I have a PDF fillable form that works great except for the digital signature fields. Every employee needs to fill it out, sign it, hit the email submit button to faward it to the boss, who then signs it and saves it. There are two digital signature fields that need to be signed by different people. If the employee fills out all of the fields and then hits the email submit button, everything works as it should. However, if they sign it digitally like we need them to and then press the email submit button, nothing happens. It's like the button is no longer interactive at all. The mouse doesn't even change anymore when hovering over it. How can I fix this?
