Email Button Question

I've created my email button & it works perfect. The only thing I'd like to add to the button is the ability to choose who to send the form to. I assume this will require some type of Java Script but am unsure...does anyone know if this is possible for me to do this?

I also figured this one out on my own...thanks

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 email button question

I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES2 to create an Adobe Acrobat X pdf form. The form uses a checkbox to select different options, and then the form is sent via e-mail to a specific e-mail address. I am wondering if it is possible to script the following option when sending the e-mail:
I have a dropdown list box where a person's name is selected e.g. John Smith.    Depending upon which person is selected, is it possible to include their name in the cc field of the e-mail message, so that John Smith is appended to @abc.com for an e-mail address of [email protected]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can do the following:
You have to use a normal button!!
Please copy the following code in the click-event of the normal button!
You have only adapt if the name of your DropDwonList is not the same ( in line 1 and line 4)!!
If the user don't use the DD the buttons don't works. The button works if the user select any emal of the DD.
if(DropdownListe1.rawValue != null)
    //fill in e-mail
    var Mailto = DropdownListe1.rawValue;
    //var Mailto = "[email protected]";
    //fill in subject
    //var YourSubject = Formular1.s1.subject.rawValue;
    var YourSubject = "Test Subject";
    //fill in message
    //var YourMessage = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: "
    var YourMessage = "This is a test message.\r2.row start here.\r3.row here.";
    //fill in e-mail cc
    //var CC = Formular1.s1.emailcc.rawValue;
    var CC = "[email protected]";
    //fill in e-mail bcc
    //var BCC = Formular1.s1.emailbcc.rawValue;
    var BCC = "[email protected]";
    var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + YourSubject + "&Body=" + YourMessage + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
    //cSubmitAs: "PDF" send the pdf as attachment
    //cSubmitAs: "XML" send the pdf as xml-attachment
    event.target.submitForm({
    cURL: Mail,
    bEmpty: true,
    cSubmitAs: "XML"
Hope it will helps you,

It says my security answers are wrong, so I guess I need to reset them, it says to click the rescue email button that shows up under the questions, there is no button that shows up.

Submit by email button ignoring specified email address and subject

I have recently upgraded to CS5.5 and I am having trouble with the Submit by Email button in my form.
When I distribute the form the email address and subject specified on the button are ignored. Instead, the form is submitted to my email address with the subject of 'Submitting Completed Form'.
I have tried creating the form a number of different ways (i.e. converting PDF created in inDesign, just in Acrobat from scratch, just in Livecycle Designer from scratch) with no success and the same result. I have found I can change the email address if I go to Acrobat X Pro: Edit > Preferences > Identity but this is not an adequate work-around and does not fix the issue of the subject.
My company develops forms for both internal and external clients that require this functionality. The email subject is used to help identify which form it is and routes it to the appropriate department.
I have searched the web and this forum for answers but have not found an answer.
My question is: How do I get the 'Submit by Email' button to work correctly?
I have created many forms before using CS3 and have never encountered this problem. At the moment the only way I can see to fix the problem is to go back to CS3 which seems ridiculous. I thought later versions of software were supposed to work better not look the same and not work (sorry for the rant, frustration is getting the better of me).
I need to use the Distribute Form as it states in the LiveCycle help:
If you do not use the Distribute feature, form recipients who use Adobe Reader cannot save modifications to most PDF files, including forms filled with data. They must either immediately return their data electronically or print the form and return the paper copy.
I am using Acrobat 10 Pro and Livecycle Designer on Windows 7 64-Bit
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What you are seeing is the intended behavior and I'm not sure why is has changed.
When you distribute a form, it substitutes the email address you originally set up with the button with the one specified in your identity preference and the subject is set to "Submitting Completed Form". It makes a number of other changes to the document that make the distribution workflow possible. I do know that different code is used if the form is being used in a version of Acrobat/Reader prior to 9.
With an acroform (not XFA), you can save a copy of the distributed form, allowing you to edit the scripts that among other things set the subject line of the email, so that a different subject line text is used. You can then re-enable the form and it should work OK. The problem is knowing exactly what needs to be changed and finding it, and I'm not certain that this is possible with an XFA form. I normally work with acroforms and know where to do it in Acrobat, but things are different in LiveCycle Designer.

How can I edit the default settings for the Email button?

I saw this question posted for February and as yet still unanswered. So I am now asking it again.
I do not want to use my .mac account email address in my website. I want it linked to my domain. I have found no specific instructions for changing the default. Also my drag down "Link to" menu in the Inspector does not work.
Thanks........

While you can't edit the default email address in iWeb, there is a workaround which may suit.
In Safari, locate a web page which has iWeb's email button on it (if you've already published a site, one of your own web pages is ideal). Control-click on the button and select 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Drag this image from the Media Browser to your iWeb page, select the image, and use the Link inspector to enable it as a hyperlink linking to 'An Email Message'. Enter whatever email address you like in the To box and a Subject for the message if you wish.
To make things easier, create an iWeb library in iPhoto and add the email button to it for handy access.

Email buttons inactive on some emails

Certain email buttons are inactive on some of my Verizon.net - received emails: delete, move to folder. These buttons are "greyed". These messages may, going down, display the original message, a "page 2" logo and a block of Java programming comments, and then the message again (as if a "Message Source" display is tacked onto a regular display).
Also, when a folder messages are listed, and several messages are selected, the delete key does not work. I suspect that the messages of the first paragraph above are blocking the delete function, but how?

Welcome to the Forum, I am not sure of a via solution to your issue. If you can please install a different browser (I assume you are using Internet explorer... it would also help to know which version you have and it if is up to date)
AFA another browser I highly recommend useing FireFox 32bit version http://www.mozillafirefoxfreedownload.com/

Email button in viewer fails in Silverlight OOB application

Scenario: A simple SL4 OOB (installed with elevated privileges) application contains a WebBrowser control that points to a pdf hosted on the Internet. Clicking the email button causes a dialog to popup a question whether to send a copy or send a link, and then fails when selecting either option.
The only thing I've been able to find out about it is that it appears to be related to sendmail.api:
Unhandled exception at 0x2a80e8c6 (SendMail.api) in sllauncher.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00257000.
I'm also inquiring at the SL forums, and I fully expect that support for either company will tell me that it's the other's fault, especially considering the specific companies involved. But if anyone has any ideas about this, it would be hugely appreciated.

Outlook is not an Apple product.
Hope info from these threads help.

Email button not working as memo's Sprint Centro

Not sure if this is the proper place for this but here goes. I have my Sprint Centro set up so that when I press the email button it opens memo's. Suddenly it stopped opening memo's and goes into reboot. I can move Memo's to other buttons and it still goes to reboot. I put other applications for the envelope button and it works fine. The warranty is out but I took it to the major Sprint store to get their opinion and they claim it is moisture inside causing the problem. Because of my condition I sweat terriblely while working and many times carry the phone in my T-shirt pocket so I can hear or feel it vibrate so maybe it has gotten moisture inside. I don't think Sprint was correct that that was the problem since all the buttons work fine except when set up to open Memo's. Anyone had this trouble or anyone know a fix? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Sounds like you have two problems. First the "easy" one...
Your email button. Go to your Prefs icon, then Buttons. See if your Email button has been reprogrammed to open Memos. If so, change it to Email. Done!
The second one. Memos sounds like it has a corrupt record, or a few. Download and install "DBFixit" from pimlicosoftware.com. It will scan and fix some problems for free, others may require a fee to register the program (which goes to "Dewars Gorilla Haven Project" in Georgia.)

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?

How do I add the email button to the toolbar when I open PDF files in Mozilla ver. 19?

I just updated to Mozilla ver 19 and now when I open a PDF file in Mozilla the email button is no longer on the toolbar how do I add it?

hello, firefox 19 has introduced its own integrated pdf viewer - if you want to switch back to the plugin you've used before to view pdfs just go to firefox options > applications & define the default action for the ''portable document format (pdf)''.

How do i add an email button to an editable pdf

how do i add an email button to an editable pdf

Hi Rocco290,
You will need Acrobat to add an email button to that PDF. Here are instructions from the Acrobat X Help: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WSBB6EF75F-BC3D-4094-B787-FB76DAE1EBDC.w.h tml
If you have a different version of Acrobat, you'll find a link to both the Acrobat 9 and Acrobat XI Help in the bottom-right corner of the page I've linked you to.
Please let us know how it goes!
Best,
Sara

New to Adobe Forms and need help with Submit Email button

I am new to Adobe Forms in Windows. I created a form with a submit email button. When users try to click the button, the message is operation cannot be completed. My test user has Adobe Reader 9 installed. I'm at a loss as to how to resolve the issue. Please assist. TIA!

Three different aspects
1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.

Email button created in InDesign won't work on Interactive PDF. Anyone know a fix?

Hello there, I am trying to make a e-mail button work after its .swf file is imported into a new iD document and exported as a interactive PDF. I have tried various things and work around but I can not seem to be able top make it wrong. I ask iD twiter for help and after a conversation with them I was told to try here.
OS: Windows 7, iD Version 9.2.1 x64
This is my process (Will include images and document files)
1. Create simple solid color box object. Add a text title to the box and otline the text.
2. Group the objects and make it into a button. Add a roll over appearance.
3. Add "go to URL" action. One sample button URL is: mailto:test@email(dot)com, Second sample URL is: mailto://test@email(dot)com (the forum editor kept making links to this fake emails)
4. Export iD document to .swf (Settings where default)
NOTE* Here the .swf open in chrome and the email buttons work fine as a .swf alone
5. Import the SWF into a new iD file. Export this second iD file to an Interactive PDF (Seetings where default)
After doing this I click on the email buttons inside the interactive PDF but they dont start my email app (Outlook 2013) However every time I click either button a new empty Google Chrome window opens.
Here is a dropbox link to the files themselves, the type is outlines so no need to worry for missing fonts. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fp76buzt98td8fy/4DD6tqImd9
I hope someone can help me getting this fixed. Http:// Link buttons work fine on interactive PDF's following this process. For soem reason the email ones are the only ones that wont work. I have to use this process because I am working with an interactive PDF that has an animated roll over menue that does not work with ePub so the only way for my project to work the way I want it too is by exporting .swf of the finished file, importing on a new iD file and re-exporting to a interactive PDF.
It was really hard finding anyhting related to this issue im having. Here is the only similar issue I could find and it is from 2008! http://forums.adobe.com/thread/324167 I do hope I am the one doing something wrong here and not that Adobe has not fixed this .swf email links issue.
Thanks for the help!

Alright thanks! Ok this is what happens in my end:
- The interactive PDF you sent me works fine. The iD file opens fine as well and is exactly the same process so that checks.
-I exported your iD file to .swf, created a new iD document and imported the exported .swf file from the file you created. I exported this new document to interactive PDF. I open it and again I click the links and only google chrome windows open
This is the link it probably works fine on your end
https://www.dropbox.com/s/on5tun0v0eunjhu/buttons%20email%20text%20swf%20imported%20to%20i nteractive%20pdf.pdf
I think there is something going on in my end. "Google Chrome" or "Flash" might be intersecting email links or something becuase I cannot get these .swf + interactive pdf combo to open the email client not even after I used your iD file, exported .swf, imported it and export again to interactive pdf.
Again the interactive pdf you sent works fine and when I export my file to interactive pdf it works on my end as well, its only after i export to swf and then I use the file inside iD and export to interactive pdf that it does causes me trouble. I will see what I can do to fix this. At least it was working for you so if its only in my end then its not that bad but it will bugg me forever haha!
Thanks again for your help!! Sorry to take your time Salah!

Submit By Email button not working in FireFox 25.0.1

If the form is saved to desktop or opened in IE, we are not seeing any issues. However, when clicking on the submit by email button in in FireFox 25.0.1, a pop-up appears to choose the default email program or a web email program. We use Outlook and it is set by default. After checking the Outlook option, the form freezes for about a minute and the email window with the PDF attached never appears.
I'm using the built-in Submit By Email button in Livecycle Designer 9.
<event name="event__click" activity="click">
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=EBSS User Renewal Request- Approval Needed Request"/>
</event>

If the PDF submits to a server-side script URL it can bypass client-side email software.
Try the online PDF submission examples and see if it works for you in Mozilla FireFox:
http://www.pdfemail.net/examples/
You should also make sure the browser is using the Adobe Reader plugin as the default PDF reader.

Email button works in preview mode but not when published to PDF

I thought I had cracked everything but - I have set preferences to email results to a specific address. In preview mode this works and outlook is opened with all the details. Once I have published to Acrobat 9 pdf - there is no response to the email button. If I play the SWF file I have the same problem. What am I doing wrong? Using Captivate 5 trial and Acrobat 9.3 Pro.
