Changing xml in LiveCycle to enable pdf email submit
I've read quite a a bit about my question. Which is: can I change the xml code in LiveCycle of an interactive pdf to make it work when displayed in a browser? I've read
Form submit / eMail demystified, but quite honestly I cannot quite grasp it. I did find people asking the question in another forum and someone posted the following: "
What I finaly did:
Found the line:
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:"/>
changed it to:
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:"/>
resaved document, and it worked."
This post was a few years old however. I tried it and my code looks like this:
<submit textEncoding="UTF-16" xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf" format="pdf" target="mailto:
I'm assuming because it's a newer version of Acrobat.
Can anyone tell me what I would need to change my code to in order for the email submit button to work, or if it indeed will require me to find someone to script something for me.
Thanks,
Scott
If I understand your problem correctly you want to submit a document by email as a PDF vice XML. If this is correct all you have to do is open the Object Library (Shift F7), select the Submit tab and change the Submit dropdown option from XML to PDF.
I hope this helps.

Pdf Email submit - Mac compatibility
I have created a simple form in Windows XP with an email submit button on it. The Mac user can fill the form out, but is not able to submit it by email. Should I expect them to be able to submit this form by email? If not, what options do I have.
Regards,
DrewE-mail submission is not recommended, even if it is discussed in the manual. Such submission depends too much on the client machine setup and you have probably run into that with a MAC. You should always submit form data to a web site for processing. You may need to use the FDF Toolkit or such.
Actually, this remark applies to the mailto that folks try to use for HTML forms also. It is a can of worms and is not recommended even in HTML. -
I am creating a form on LiveCycle Designer and I am trying to create a form that has a e-mail submit button. When the button is utilized it attaches the form to the e-mail in an plain text .xml format rather than the pdf format. Is there a quick fix?
Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Rights enabled PDF From and XML Data Collection
Hello,
Requirements is something in this line..Convert 3 page word doc- with name field,date field and few radio buttons to PDF.These would be send then send back via email, for further processing.Interested in the actual data rather than the PDF form.
I have used Adobe LiveCycle designer to create rights enabled PDF with name fields,drop down ,radio buttons and Submit by email button.Only reason i have it rights enabled is so that user can save the partially filled document locally and at later time fill it completely and send via desktop email client. The end users would have latest reader installed and outlook email client.
I assume, When the user selects the send button, an email message starts with attachment of XML extension and can send it.On my end I could user XML parser and read the data.I dont need the actual PDF.
Would collecting the data, in this manner , still fall under 500 use licensing limit on PDF's that have Reader Extensions enabled.
There is no comments or digital signatures involved or collected.Just the data,in form of XML and not the actual PDF.
Thanks in advance.Thanks for the confirmations on my previous questions. On the signature thing....
Upon opening a XML file created by submit button, it does have signature parent tages with <signatureinfo/>,<key value/> ,<signrature propeties/> etc.
Would it be same as one filled and signed by end user ,if i import the XML file to blank template at my end. -
I have created a form in InDesign, exported to a pdf, then created an editable form and saved. When I open the form and make changes and save, then reopen the changes are there. If try to email this form as an attachment after editing, the attachment is always minus the edits. ????
Hi chuck,
If you ave created the form and then filling it yourself and saving the form, the filled data should be there when you reopen the same form.
Can you please send the form to me at [email protected] so that I can have a look.

PDF is changing all my pdf documents into a word document - My boss sent me a pdf email through outlook and when I try to open it changes to a word document Help this is so frustrating
Hi tinam74565130,
That does sound frustrating! It sounds as though the filename associations have become confused on your computer. You should be able to reset that easily. Here are some instructions:

EMail submit Button: send back as PDF, not as XML
Hello,
I have integreated an email submit button in my interactive form for sending the PDF back to the SAP-CRM.
If I click this button, an eMail opens with an XML attachment. But I want to send it back in PDF format by clicking this button. (because I want to save this document at the content server and so on..).
Thanks in advance
RoggerHi Roger,
This is possible. There is a thread already in this Forum on that. If i remember the script, i shall post it :). Please do search it.
Got ->
<a href="/people/juergen.hauser2/blog/2007/06/03/dynamically-populating-the-email-address-of-an-email-button-on-a-sap-interactive-form fella :)</a>. You may work on this or search for more scripts related with it.

I have a pdf doc that I have email buttons attached to button when I go to upload it to forms central so I can add a submit button to it it enables my email buttons.
You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK
I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Problem opening Microsoft Office & PDF Email attachments
Just got a Motorola Razr. Having a problem opening Microsoft Office (e.g. Work, Excel) and PDF Email attachments. Receive message "winmail.dat Unsupported file type". Can open jpg files. I have Quick Office, which is suppose to enable you to do this, but does not seem to make a difference. Wonder if it is an Android 2.3.5 issue. I used to have a Blackberry and this was not an issue. This is a showstopper for me and I will return the phone if I can't read Microsoft Office and PDF files attached to emails. My email server / client is Verizon.
I would appreciate any recommendations.Hope this is one of those "better late than never" scenarios.
The problem sounded familiar, and it's one that's been around for a long, long time. I don't think it's a Razr problem, or a Droid problem, but it is about email clients. I've had similar issues with email on computers.
The problem starts with Outlook's RTF format. It saves the document's formatting info (bold, underline, etc.) and other info in the winmail.dat file, and some email clients simply can't decode it.
The sender can change the format of what they're sending, though, and I believe that the most recent versions of Outlook can change those format setttings on a person-by-person basis (don't want to start a rumor here because I could be wrong about that).
Just copy and paste the error message into Google (or your preferred search engine, and you'll see some info that might be helpful. -
Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -

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!!
RobThanks, 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,

Problems with comments-enabled PDF: I can't see my client's comments
Hello,
I really hope somebody can help me.
THE SITUATION: I have a comments-enabled PDF. The comments repository is located on my externally hosted webdav server. Both my client and I have local copies of the PDF, and up until today, my client was able to post comments on the PDF.
THE PROBLEM:
- Today, my client suddenly noticed that the review had "expired" and she can't post her comments.
- I am able to see and post my own comments in the PDF, but I can't see my client's comments in the PDF.
- My client can see her own comments. (I don't know if she can see mine.)
- If I log into my webdav site with FTP, I can see my client's XML file which contains all her comments. I can also see my own XML file which contains my comments, and it is indeed updating each time I add a new comment.
I thought it would be possible to import the XML file containing all her comments into the PDF. However XML is not a format that Acrobat allows you to import!!! It only will accept FDF, XFDF, or PDF!
Phone tech support was spectacularly unhelpful. I seriously doubt "Nelson" from Bombay has ever used Acrobat in his life. He asked me to send the file to him, which I did, but I haven't heard back.
So my question is:
1) How can I get my Acrobat file to view the comments which are sitting on the comments server in an xml file? Why would it see mine but ignore hers?
2) If I can't get the comments to show up, then can I at least import my client's comments, which are currently sitting in an XML file, into my PDF?
bonus question: Why is there so little documentation about dealing with webdav comments repositories? Is it considered better to use acrobat.com instead of our own webdav server or something?
This is Acrobat 9.1.0 Pro for Leopard.Thanks for your reply, Steve. Yes, she did say that there was an end date, but when I go there, I don't see one. Baffling.
I have decided to go over to her office, create an archive of her PDF, then try to pull those comments into a new PDF.
This is a GIANT PAIN. And egg in my face, after I've sold this client on the ease and convenience of a PDF workflow!
So is there any way to get xml comments back into a PDF???
