Designer Forms submitted via a website

I have developed a number of forms in Adobe Designer (LiveCycle 7.0) with a view to putting them on my website for users to fill out and return by email. However when I tested the first of the forms (i.e. I uploaded it on to my website and filled it out and submitted it) I noticed that the form was (somehow) saved on the web as I left it i.e. all the fields filled out. All I did was close the window after filling out the fields and submitting. That means that when another user opens it to fill out, they will see the information left by the previous user. What have I done wrong and how do I rectify this problem? HELP!!

It's caching the data on your hard drive. You can turn that off by unchecking Edit->Preferences->Forms->Keep forms data temporarily on disk. You can also look at the Document.nocache property in the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference.

Form submitted via Email

Hi,
I am using a MS SQL database and ASP. I have a client that
wants to send out an email to potential auction donors and have the
form to donate an auction item right in the email (so not a link,
but the actual form) and then they want the donors to fill out the
form and have it get submitted to the database as well as email
them confirmation. I can do this all from the web site, but I have
no idea how to do it from an actual email.
Can this be done? And if so, how??
Thanks in advance!
Julie

You will probably find, due to nature of various email
clients, that this is
not viable. Best to provide a link to a web page.

How to get LiveCycle Designer forms to ignore default text in fields when validating

Hiya,
I'm testing out Designer ES4 to build a simple form that's submitted via email.
Everything is working except for my text boxes... They are set up as required fields but because I've included default text with instructions, if you press submit without editing the fields they're not validating as empty and not throwing an error message.
I’ve been searching the forums all day for a fix, but I’m too new to understand where to put code etc. I’ve tried adding
'text{!=placeholder}' in the validation pattern box but that doesn’t work…
All I have is LiveCycle Designer and I’m on windows 7. Thanks for your help!

Thanks Bruce - this looks like exactly what I'm after!
I have a really noob question though - where do I go to enter code?! Below is a screenshot of what I'm looking at - can you please talk me through how to make your suggested changes?
Do I do it on the 'xml code' tab or somewhere else?

Receive Form Submission Via E-mail

I am a bit confused on how to receive the form completed on my website.
I have created the form within FormsCentral and I am ready to embed it. I want a customer to be able to fill the form out on my website, click Submit and that form or the form data they input e-mailed to a specific e-mail address within my company. Is that possible??

This functionality is not supported by FormsCentral. To create a form that does what you are asking you can use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Designer to create a pdf file that uses email submissions. FormsCentral only supports submitting forms data to our servers.

How do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?

Well that's the question - how do I create an email list sign up form for my iWeb website?
Could someone tell me what's the simplest way using iWeb to create an interactive option
for users to enter their email address and the info be forwarded to me so I can add to an
email list?
It would be great if, since I'm using a Mac computer & iWeb, there was a way to have the
submitted emails automatically added to a group in my Mac Addressbook.
I got this MacBook Pro in Sept 2010 so I believe that's iWeb '08 I'm using.
Anyway I'm thinking there should be a way to do this with some system involving an HTMK
Widget and an email account.
By the way this is for hosting through a 'real server', not MobileMe (which I plan to get later
when I can afford it).
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Mark

Website forms require some code in a snippet and a formmail.php script on the server to process the form and send the info to the required email address. You can do all this when you switch to a "real" server.
In the meantime you can use a form or marketing service or, better still, an application like MailShoot which generates the form, handles the database and sends out the bulk emails.

Anyone know how to change the name of the PDF after it's submitted via the "submit e-mail" button?

Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong section -
I'm using Live Cycle v8.0 and I would like to know if I can change the name of the PDF that is being submitted via emai?
For example -
When I submit the form now it is named (12345abcd12345.pdf) and I would like it to read something like (memberapp.pdf)
Any tips?

I figured it out...thanks to anyone who may have been helping.

PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?

How do I get my PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?
Meaning, if I set up a form on my website and someone completes and submits it, how can I get the responses as an attachment rather than in email text?
Much appreciated.

Hi Gunter
I have spent so much time on this now.
I have tried to convert the php to an attached .txt or .csv file.
Learnt a lot but still can not seem to get the form data to be submitted as an attached file.
Here are two of my attempts, please assist:
<?php
$email=$_REQUEST['email'];
$firstName=$_REQUEST['firstName'];
$lastName=$_REQUEST['lastName'];
//The Attachment
$cr = "\n";
$data = "Email" . ',' . "First Name" . ',' . "Last Name" . $cr;
$data .= "$email" . ',' . "$firstName" . ',' . "$lastName" . $cr;
$fp = fopen('reservationTest.csv','a');
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
// Mail to
$email = "myemailaddress";
//subject
$subject = "Test Budget reservation";
//Header
$headers("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
$headers("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=reservationTest.csv");
$headers("Pragma: no-cache");
$headers("Expires: 0");
//Message
$message = "".
"Email: $email" . "\n" .
"First Name: $firstName" . "\n" .
"Last Name: $lastName";
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);

$email = $_POST['email'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
    $to = 'myemailaddress';
    $emailSubject = 'Test Form';
    $headers = "From: $email\n";
$message = "A new reservation test.\n

Form-submitting database

Hello all!
I'm in need of a simple form-submitting system, and I was wondering whether it could be done using Pages.
This is what I need it to do:
It's a school, where I need teachers to submit a report for each class they teach, about how the class went.
I'm gonna have a server, where the main database will be kept.
So each teacher will have an iPad, and on their iPad they will open a form, that I will design, and fill it out.
Once they press submit, the form goes up to the server.
In the server, I need a control app where I can search by teacher, by student, date etc.
Anyone know of a good way to do this?
Maybe Pages can handle it, or maybe there's another app I can get?
Even knowing what terms to search on google would help a lot.
Thanks in advance!

How to increase count in a text increases on each new form submitted?

Hi All,
I have a field in infopath form as 'RefNo', whenever new form submitted, it count should increase. How to achieve this scenario?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure if you can do this to display on form load, but you could do this on submit and edit form.
Refer to the following posts,

Preventing user to click on links once form submitted

Hi All,
Preventing end user to click on any links once he/she submitted the form until he/she received a response from it.
I can use filter or shale techniques for this, but it prevents the multiple form submits but not the links.
(ie, hyperlinks cant control with the above techniques I suppose.)
I also used hourglass technique of Javascript. It will show you the hour glass icon once you submitted the form/page.
Mean while if you mouse over any links on the page (I have other command links on the same page), the hourglass icon showing with hand icon.
<tr:commandButton provides one attribute blocking=true, is not working in this condition.[setting true blocking user input when the action is initiated and will stop when response received from server.]
At least if I provide a progress indicator by using <tr:progressIndicator, well enough to the user as some process is going on so that end user can wait for some time.
I have gone through in detail about it - http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/trinidad-api/tagdoc/tr_progressIndicator.html
Please provide your inputs, how to implement by using <tr:progressIndicator for my <tr:commandButton.
Or any other fruitful solution for this?
Thanks in advance :-)

No idea about the Trinidad component library, but you can also use CSS/JS/DHTML to "freeze" the window during the onsubmit. Add a transparent iframe overlay which covers the whole screen and turn it on during the onsubmit.
E.g.
<body>
    <iframe id="freeze" frameborder="0" border="0"></iframe>
    <h:form onsubmit="freeze();">
iframe#freeze {
    position: absolute;
    visibility: hidden;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 0.0;
    filter: alpha(opacity=0);
function freeze() {
    document.getElementById('freeze').style.visibility = 'visible';
}

How does one get a simple URL link onto the Designer Form?

Greetings:
Thank heavens for small favors, kudos to Adobe for Designer and its basic email functionality.
One annoying thing, I am finding it impossible to put a simple link on the Designer Form. Likewise, if I open the form in Acrobat, the link icon on the toolbar is greyed and unavailable, so I cannot select text and turn it into a link.
I have found that I can make a bookmark with the form open in Acrobat and make that a link to a URL, but I cannot specify the initial view to show the bookmarks open, so there is a very good chance this bookmark/link will never be seen.
The HTTP button help states:
"The HTTP submit button operates like a standard button object with these settings:
Control Type set to Submit
Submit Format set to URL-Encoded Data
Submit To URL set to use the http: protocol."
which doesn't sound like it's meant to function like a simple link, and trying it anyway I get an error message that the url is incorrect.
Any ideas on this?
regards,
stevenjs

I guess one can't paste html in these posts, here's the code, minus all the html tags, and the brackets for the meta tag, title tag and body tag.
Opening URL in new window from Acrobat.
The Code for the first HTML page.
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2; URL=Original.pdf"
title New Page 1 title
BODY onload="window.open('startNewPDF.htm', 'newWindow')"
Code for the second HTML page which forces the new document to stay on top.
meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; URL=New.pdf"
title New Page 1 title
body onBlur="setTimeout('self.focus()',2500)"
By the way, I figured out where to apply javascript to a button. Being new to Designer, I did not see that slender script interface at the top.
James' xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.yoursite.com",0); does indeed work like a charm. I just selected the button, selected Javascript instead of FormCalc, Selected "click" from the event dropdown, and pasted in xfa.host.gotoURL("http://www.yoursite.com",0); (changing the URL of course).

How to add more PDF file in to a designed form

Hi,
I have already designed a form and now want to add 2 more pdf file in to the form, how can I do that.
Rgds
Anver

LiveCycle Designer and forms created using LiveCycle Designer can not do this. Just as PDF's created outside of LiveCycle Designer can not import forms created by LiveCycle Designer, but one can import the underlying PDF page without the form fields. The reason for this is that LiveCycle Designer creates an XML form with a minimal PDF page. The inclusion of the XML form data is enough to make the document not compliant to the PDF format. It should be noted that only versions of Acrobat 5.1 or above can process LiveCycle Designer forms, as these versions have had additional code added to the application to process the XML information.

Need help with designing form for exports

Hi
I am pretty new to designing form in adobe acrobat.
I have adobe acrobat 9 standard with Adobe liveCycle Designer installed.
There are couple of things I want to do.
1.
I would like to add a box where I can change the number (default is 1), and when I increase it, (for instance to two)
then
it will postulate the particular sections twice.
For instance, I am taking two drugs right now, then I would like to increase the number of drugs to 2, so then for each drug
I would enter appropriate information such as drug name, drug form, route of drug administration etcs
I hope this is clear
2.
I am trying to export this in xml format so that only the ones where the user fills in in pdf form gets exported to xml format.
I would like the boxes to have its own tag, for instance the drug name mentioned above can have a tag of <drugname></drugname>
I know this is possible through changing the box's name in binding tab.
What I am interested in is to add a tag for the section, like a header.
For example, if I were to enter two drug information I want the first drug information to be exported to be
<drug>
<drugname>blah</drugname><drugform>1</drugform><drugroute>oral</drugroute>
</drug>
<drug>
<drugname>drug2</drugname><drugform>1</drugform>
<drugroute>ophthalmic</drugroute>
</drug>
how would I add <drug> </drug> for each drug?
also, can I change the order of the tags??
in the pdf form, if the drugname box is displayed later than drugroute box, then when I export it, it will display as
<drugroute>oral</drugroute><drugname>blah</drugname>
but I want to manually set the order of tags when exported.
Sorry I asked so many questions
I hope it is clear enough for you to visualize what I am trying to do
Thank you so much

1. You can certainly add sections for the number of drugs that the user specifies pr
ovided that the form is set up the correct way to begin with. The drug information section must be wrapped in a subform (usually Poistioned) and that in turn must be wrapped in a flowed subform. Then the form must be saved as dynamic. If this information is all that is on the form then that shoudl be all you need to do. If th edrug section is in the middle of the form then you need to wrap the other parts of the form in a subform so they can be pushed down when we add the drug subforms. It can get confusing ...seeing the form amnd its structure would help to clarify.
2. You canbnot change the names of tags on the fly but you can change their values. AS mentioned above, when you wrap the Drug information in a subform that subform name can be used as a tag in the XML. Then you could have a node with the tag (or an attribute) that names the drug in question. Something like this:
<Drug Section>
     <Drug>
          <DrugName></DrugName>
          <Dossage></Dossage>
          <Supplier></Supplier>
     </Drug Subform>
     <Drug>
          <DrugName></DrugName>
          <Dossage></Dossage>
          <Supplier></Supplier>
     </Drug>
</Drug Section>
As mentioned earlier this is always easier to explain when you see it in context of your form.....if you want to send it to me at [email protected] I can get you started at least. Please include a description of your issue in the email

How can I direct all my contact form replies (from my website), to my personal email address?

How can I direct all my contact form replies (from my website), to my personal email address?
I have embedded the code to my website but would like all of my contact form replies to be directed to my email address. How can I do this by revising the embedded code. Also will I still be able to receive replies after recieving 5000? At this point will I need a premium account?

Email notifications are a feature of the Basic and Plus account.
The free account only allows for 50 responses. The Plus (Premium) account allows for 5000.
