Changing Default Submitted Form Subject Line

After distributing a form, how do you change the default email subject line when the user submits it?
For clarity, check the highlighted area in the screenshot below:
I've created multiple forms for users, and would like to differentiate b/w them all in the subject line automatically.

Yep it is that file. just replace
email_subject
in the following line with whatever you want as long as its in quotations eg.
make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"photos", visible:true}
I like the comment in the script-maybe Apple's internal bug reporting system needs to be looked at!
-- We have been having problems with inserting images before the signature. There seems to
-- be some sort of bug with attachments. Even iterating the images backwards and inserting
-- the images at the "beginning" doesn't work for more than 1 images. Strange.
-- Anyway, we note the signature here, remove the signature from the message, and then
-- set the message signature back at the bottom.

Submit Form - Change Body of Email & Subject Line

I have my submitt button working correctly on my form and going to the correct email addresses when the button is clicked. However, the subject line and the body of the email are not stating what I want them to. Is there a way to put what you want in the body of the email and subject line? I am using Adobe Prof Version 9.

This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask PDF related form questions in the Acrobat forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat/acrobat_windows
I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

Cannot change default checkout form

I've hit a really bizarre problem with the checkout form for my live site. No matter how I try to customize it or swap it out, the original default form always appears when customers checkout from the shopping cart.
This is what I've tried:
(1) Customizing the default form in the Module Layouts view to remove redundant payment options and the credit card processing fields because I don't need them.
Result = changes appear in the Module Layout view but the form customers get is still the default form with none of my changes.
(2) Creating a new form in the Web Forms section and inserting it in the Module Layout section for the Purchase–Buy form. I've tried both inserting the form so that the data is visible in the layout and inserting it as a module.
Result = changes appear in the Module Layout view but the form customers get is still the default form with none of my changes.
(3) In desparation I have even deleted the original Online Shop Purchase form from the list of forms in the Web Forms section.
Result = The system still presents the default form to customers on checkout
(4) I've tried resetting my browser to remove history and cookies.
Result = the same.
I'm a complete Newbie but I've understood enough to be able to create the site and everything else is wokring fine. I know I must be missing something here but I can't for the life of me work out what has gone wrong.
I'm using Mac OS X v.10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.1 to access and work on BC.
Any help and advice will be gratefully received.

Hi Simon,
You have got yourself into a little bit of a mess there.
This is how the payment form works.
The payment form is a web form and that is in web forms.
The payment page for eCommerce sits under the registration buy layout but you also have the quote layout as well if there qre quotes.
The form form html (not module) is placed into the registration buy layout it is used differently by the system.
If you make modifications to the form itself under more customisation options for example this will not update the html of the form until you go to the registration buy layout.
This is easier to manage Via FTP as well.
You mention Module Layout but what layout? As mentioned there is no module layout, it is under eCommerce layouts.

Email Subject Line E-recruiting

Hi,
We need to change the subject line of email sent via activities.
By default the smartform subject line is sent as email.
Is there any way to change this and hardcode to some value.
Thanks in advance,
NB

I use gmail, I have thunderbird and this does not happen. The UI interface for google does but you can also stop it from doing that in the admin settings I believe.
Sme other good email clients for mac and oc, paid and free.
You can create folders for go gmail itself and email clients with sorting rules too.
Do not recall seeing guides for rendering tags in the email subject, net seen that and been using bc a long time.

Change subject line of email when submitting a form using Acrobat X Pro

I have created an interactive PDF in Acrobat X PRO with a submit a form button. Everything works fine all the way through distribution except that I need the Subject Line of the submitted form when attached to an email to read "Form Returned: File Name" rather than "Submitting Completed Form". All of my past forms had the "Form Returned: File Name" subject line automatically...did something change and is it possible to change the subject line? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I had actually come across that form on multiple occasions during my research. Looks like I need the doc.mailDoc() function, but there isn't an example of the code. Looking in other places I have tried a few things unsuccessfully. I did find this, which I thought would be even better than Form Returned: File Name in the subject line...actually taking information from fields in the form:
// Build the subject line text from several fields form fields
var subj_text = getField("text1").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text2").valueAsString;
subj_text += getField("text3").valueAsString;
// Send the email
mailDoc({
    cTo: "[email protected]",
    cSubject: subj_text,
    cMsg: "Body of email message goes here."
I entered the script(adding in my own information for the email, body and subject line) by adding an action to the button to run the java script but it did not work. Any ideas??

How do I change the default email-subject line when emailing from Acrobat 8...

Hi,
After creating a document in acrobat and clicking the email icon on the tool bar, Acrobat automatically opens and attaches the document to a new email message in Outlook. It also adds the file name as the subject, then appends "- Adobe Acrobat Professional". How do I remove and/or customize the default subject line appended by Acrobat Pro 8.12?
Thanks!

Hi, I have the same problem as Alan L. Whenever I have a file open in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and click File-> Attach to Email it creates a new Outlook message and attaches the file but does not populate the subject line with the file name. The subject line is blank. I tried to email the same PDF file from Foxit Reader and it correctly populated the subject field with the file name.
If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Michael

PDF form not populating Subject line in email when submitted in Google Chrome browser

Google Chrome doesn’t seem to work, but all other browser do. In Chrome the subject line and location populate the CC: and BCC: fields in email client and not the subject line?
My current javascript is:
if (email != "")
                this.mailDoc({bUI:false,cTo:email,cSubject:location,cMsg:"Completed Employee Appointment Request Attached"});
*I'm sure something can be added or fixed to resolve this so it will work in all browsers. It is important to me that it work well in IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. The big four browsers anyways.
Sample image of issue: Basically user is forced to delete bcc: and then click send.    Thus no subject line. Which means a manual move to location folder from inbox will be necessary, because I have rule setup to sort the inbox based on subject line.

My final solution was to post the form and offer a link to dowload/install Adobe Reader and to also offer a link for Chrome users.
* I will continue to look for a better solution, but at least the above is functioning.
**I also set my bUI to true.
Many thanks, Tim
P.S. I did report this to Google Chrome, heard nothing yet. Also if you think of a better solution let me know. I'm not familiar with javascript........I have a better understanding of HTML.......if this were HTML I would have done the below.
<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
alert("this is an alert");
function go() {
                alert("Hi");
                var location = document.getElementById("location").value;
                //console.println("location: = " + location);
                var email = "";
                email = "[email protected]";
                if (location == "Select a location")
                                                alert("You need to select a location first");
                else if (location == "Other")
                                email = "[email protected]";
                if (email != "")
                                //this.mailDoc({bUI:true,cTo:email,cSubject:location,cMsg:"Completed Employee Appointment Request Attached"});
                                                window.open('mailto:' + email + '?subject=' + encodeURIComponent(location));
</script>
                This is a test
                <input type="text" id="location" value="Select a location">
                <input type="button" value="submit" onclick="go()">
</body>
</html>

Is it possible to add name to subject line when submitting a pdf form

Hi,
I have created a form with Live Cycle and added a button which submittingthe form as PDF. I was wondering is it possible to add staff name to the subject line just after Leave Request as seen in the picture below?

It is pretty easy to accomplish your requirement using scripts on a regular button rather than email submit button.
Look at this amazing sample created by Paul which explains a number of ways to submit form data through email.

"returned form...."statement email subject line & body

How do I remove or edit the "returned form...." statement/text in the subject line and body of the email that is automatically generated with the email button?

Hello,
You will have to move away from the "submit form" event and run a javascript. I have attached the script below. Please note that it has a down side it will toggle your local email client by default. I am working on a script that will offer a selection between local and internet based email clients.
// Change these address to the "to" address you want
var cToAddr = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]";
// Change these address to the "bcc" address you want
var cBCCAddr = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]";
//Enter what you want to display in the subject line and email body
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
// Change these address to the "to" address you want
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]?Bcc=" + cBCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
cURL: cEmailURL,
cSubmitAs:"PDF",

Email form created in Acrobat 9, custom subject line and content

I'm revisiting a form I created about a year back, and I can't remember how I got a javascript to work.
What I want is for the user to click on an "Email" button, which will open their email program and create a new message, with the subject line filled out from one of the form fields, and then will have specified text in the body, as well as attaching the document and sending it to multiple email addresses.
I have a javascript that I thought worked, but I keep getting error messages on it when I try to test it out.
The script I'm currently trying to make work is:
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
// so that the form is always returned to the same address
// Change address on your form
var cToAddr = "[email protected]; [email protected]";
// First, get the client CC e-mail address
var cCCAddr = this.getField("Teacheremail").value;
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = this.getField("CourseNumber").value + " corrections form submitted by "
+ this.getField("TeacherName").value;
var cBody = "\nThank you for submitting your form.\n" +
"Save the mail attachment for your own records.\n" +
"Do NOT worry if the form appears blank in your email message.";
// Send the form data as an PDF attachment on an e-mail
this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr,
cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
What am I doing wrong?

forgot to add
This is the error message, but there is a correct email listed in the Teacheremail field, so I don't know why it says it's "null."
this.getField("Teacheremail") is null
7:AcroForm:Email:Annot1:MouseUp:Action1
TypeError: this.getField("Teacheremail") is null

1. Subject line of the mail needs to be modified from standard to "PO# XXXXXXXXXX".
2. Attachment name should be updated from stanadrd to "PO_XXXXXXXXXX".
3. Also by default mail will be delivered to the default id, but it should be delivered to multiple mail ids maintained in the vendor master.
I should achieve the above by user exits or by Zprogram copying from th standard.
Please advise me.
Thanks a lot.

How to insert field from form into subject line of email

I have a form:

and I would like to have the name of the person fill in automatically in the subject line. Right now when the email button is clicked the subject line reads: "Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form." Once the form is filled out, I would like the subject line to read: "[PI-Name] - Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form," (as highlighted below)
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:?subject=[PI-Name] - Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form&body=Please find attached the completed Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

PDF form - email subject line = field

I am creating a PDF form on our intranet to be filled out and submitted via email with a submit button. All works well, but the recipients would like the subject line of the email to be info from the first field on the form so that it is easily searchable. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 (also have Acrobat 8 Professional) but haven't found anywhere to edit this info. I have read thread referencing possible solutions by utilizing javascript, but I'm not sure where to begin where javascript is concerned (not my forte).
Right now the form is Submitted by Email via a "Button" set to Control Type: Submit. Under the Submit tab I have set the Submit to URL field to - mailto:"emailaddress".
Also, the recipients mentioned that they can't see the PDF in the body of their email, instead its only an attachment. We are all using Outlook and Outlook Webmail and would like to see the PDF in the body. Is there an easy way to accomplish this as well?
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Now I understand what you mean .....if you are using a true submit button then the validations will run automatically. If you are using a button for programming and that is calling the submit button then you will have to fire the validations yourself. The command to do this is:
if
(form1.execValidate()){ SubmitButtonName.execEvent("click")
else {
app.alert("You have validation errors...");
where form1 is the root node of your form. If the validations run and there are no errors then it will return a true value and the submitbutton will be pressed. If there are errors then the message box will appear. and the submit will not occur.
Hope that helps

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.
