Email button with file variables

I need to have a button at the end of an swf that sends an
email and includes variables from the file. Is that possible?
I successfully put a button that opens outlook with the To:
address as I defined. But I need to add variables from the file to
the email either in the note or as an attachment.
Also, if the user does not have Outlook, is there a way to
still send an email?
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Denise

Tony,
Thanks for your reply. Everytime I have left the loop in, and put a checkbox to select the files it shows me all files in the database and when I have tried to have it only look at the file for the current record ID, I get errors. Any chance you could give me a hint on the code process based on the application I have setup?
Thanks
WallyYou tell us you get errors, but give no indication what errors - which might be a starting point; Have you done as Tony just suggested and selected the data from the table into local variables in the page process? if not, why not? if yes, post the modified code along with the error you are getting.
See this example: Re: Send email with multiple attachments
That is for sending multiple files, but the same principle applies - just remove the loop.

Send email notification including file name and description, when users upload files to particular sub-folders?

In my site collection i have a document library and document library has customer folder, each Customer folder has 4 sub-folders. i want to send email notification with file name and description to group and users, if they upload any files to Particular
folder name "Final" not others 3 folders. would it possible to accomplish this solution? if yes please suggest which way i can do that.
Note: we have different groups of people, for example Team A and Team B. if files uploaded by any member of Team A, notification should sent to only Team A and specific people not Team B.
Thanks in advanced for any help!

Hey Rakib,
You can add your group and those other people in To field of send mail activity. Have below snapshot for your reference.
If Current Item URL Contains FolderName (i.e. Final) & Is Current User a member of of Team A
Send Email to Team A; People1; People2;
Thanks. Please mark as an answer if it helps.

Is there a way to alter the file name given to the attachments in an email button?

When ever I click the standard email button, I get an attachement with random alfa and numeric characters for the file name. Is there any way to change the files names to match a data field in the form or start with something I choose?
Thanks,
Judy

Hi RudyLou36,
While viewing the form in Preview TAB of LC Designer you will always get the junk characters as the name of the file. Save the file and open it in Acrobat or Reader.
You won't be able to change the filename unless you save the file first. Here (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681) is an example of a number of ways to deal with parts of the email programatically.

Email Button - To: line blank and Cc: line with names listed

I created an email button and I don't want the To: line filled with name(s) only the Cc: line this is what I have so far. What am I doing wrong?
var sub
sub = CTitle.rawValue;
var ebody
ebody = "The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data."
event.target.submitForm({cURL
:"mailto: "";?&[email protected],[email protected];;&subject="+sub+"&body="+ebody,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

I receive an error message:
Microsoft Outlook does not recognize " "
This is what have I have in the "on click" event:
event.target.submitForm({cURL
:"mailto:
[email protected],[email protected];&subject=+sub+"&body="+ebody,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Export only specific data in XML with Submit by Email button

I have created a form with multiple subforms that includes user input and calculations. One of these subforms contains fields that are bound to a MS Access database to retrieve data for calculations. All of the fields on this subform are bound to the data connection. The data connection, calculations, and submit by email button all work perfectly. My only problem is that the XML data that is being exported includes the data I bound to the MS Access database. I only want the data that the user inputs. I have changed the binding to "none" on all of the calculated fields to restrict them from exporting.
I have attached a copy of the XML file that is generated when the "Submit by Email" button is clicked. I only want the data from the "YTDIncStmt" subform to be included in this file. The "MasterData10K1", "MasterData10K2", and "MasterData10K3" are the actual data connections to the MS Access database.
How do I limit the export to only the data the user input?

I have the very same problem! I am importing data from MS Access and trying to export XML data that I can sync with Quickbooks. But the XML file contains some of my binded MS Access fields, which Quickbooks doesn't know what to do with, and rejects my xml files. I am also looking for a way to submit only selected XML data. You ever find a solution/work around?

No XML file attachment when using Submit by Email button

Hello all -
I'm using LiveCycle Designer 8.0 to create a simple form, and am using the Submit by Email button to return the user supplied data. When I save the form and test it with Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1.1, the email goes through just fine, but there is no attachment. No XML file, no nothing. Just a blank email with my signature block at the bottom. Has anybody else experienced this? Any ideas on what could be wrong? All I want is the XML file.

You have multiple options to sending whole PDF format.
1) Set the submit button to submit whole PDF format by using a mailto: [email protected] in the submit button action URL.
2) Set the submit button to fire a javascript that submits whole PDF format. See Adobe's Javascript reference guide for instructions.
Note: Methods #1 and #2 require Adobe Acrobat or Extended Reader Rights; because, Adobe Reader users are restricted to submitting just the data formats; such as FDF,XML, XFDF, XDP, and HTML. Beware extending reader rights to a PDF form using Adobe Acrobat places end user EULA restrictions, such as not more than 500 end user submissions for each form.
My Recommendations:
#3) Set the submit button to point to a URL of a server-side script; such as ASP.net. Then set the format to a data format; such as FDF, XML, XFDF, or XDP; and use ASP.net and iTextSharp (Free) to merge the data with a blank PDF form; and attach the submission to an outbound SMTP mail message and send without 3rd party email software such as MS OUTLOOK.
#4) A combination of #1 and #3; where you enable usage rights on the PDF using Adobe Acrobat; and send to a server-side script which bypasses client-side email software.
Check out the following website for online examples that submit to a server side script:

Livecycle Designer 8 - Is it possible to have button to clear fields after user has clicked submit by email button so user can reuse form to send another response with different answers?

Users will use form to fill in stats for enquiries so they want to keep form open, complete a form, click button to submit by email, then click another button to clear form, form now ready to accept form's responses. They dont' want to keep opening form each time form needs to be completed.
Hope you help.
Thanks Sandra

Hi,
Thanks for your response, not sure what you mean by a loop. I put together
a draft form to show staff in our Knowledge Centre the sort of thing
Livecycle Designer can do.
(See attached file: Library Request Form_pub_0001.pdf)
They are currently writing out on form and manually putting into excel to
keep stats on the requests.
Due to current Global Financial Crisis my section does not want to spend
extra money at the moment seeking assistance from our tech heads. So we
are looking for least work no expense option for keeping stats. I am a PA
who just happens to have Livecycle program on my computer.
We use Lotus Notes so I thought the staff could save copy of Library
request form in the stationery folder. The staff using the form want to be
able to do the following:
1. open the Library request form at the beginning of the day;
2. when a request comes in, complete the form and click on Send by email
button
3. click on a Clear Data button to clear all data from all fields so the
form is open ready for when the next request comes in.
Staff are time poor and, as this is only one of their numerous duties, they
don't want to keep going to a location and opening a file which can be very
slow on some days
Each day form may be filled out by approximately 15 staff who may receive
anything from 0 - 4 requests a day.
I am not a tech head so script writing is a deep, dark mystery. Can you
help using the form above as an example for achieving step 3 above.
Thanks,
Sandra Smith

if i understand this correctly, you just want everything cleared whena
buttons is pressed?
you can either do it individually:
on button click:
mytextField.rawData=""
or do a loop, using child/paretns..

How to use email submit button with webmail; not a desktop email client

We've made a form that will submit data via an xml attachment to an email. It was all tested as fine (using Adobe Reader 7...) and has been deployed - DISASTER.
People using Adobe Reader 8 cannot choose to save the xml file. AR 8 just opens up their default email client. If they use webmail and it's not on the list of default email clients (IE/Tools/Options/Programs)then we don't seem to be able to get the xml data out.
How can you get AR 8 to give you a choice of what to do with the xml data when a user clicks the Submit by email button? Just like the email client choice in AR 7!!!! Please, if anybody from Adobe sees this, help us...

Did you ever get a solution to this problem. I have several clients who use internet email and it always worked with earlier versions of reader because it would display the "Select Email Client pop up.
Please let me know.

"Sumbit Email" button, and generating a pdf file

I would like to use the SUMBIT EMAIL button to send a pdf file of the completed form. I understand that is sends a data file, that has to be imported back into the form template on the other end.
Is there a way to autmoate this process, or jsut simply send the completed form in pdf format?
Thanks,
Rich

In order to email the filled-out PDF with the data in it, you need to be able to save the form.
Reader only allows you to save an empty form...if you try to save a filled-out form you will lose
all of the data you entered into it. For this reason, you need one of two options...
1) Purchase Adobe Acrobat for all of the sales people. Acrobat will allow you to save and submit a
filled-out form. The steps involved would be:
- Design your form in Designer and save it as a PDF. Set the properties on the submit button so
it will submit the entire PDF.
- Deploy the PDF File to your end users.
- End user opens the form in Acrobat.
- End user fills out the form and submits it. The filled-out PDF file will be attached to the
email.
2) Purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions. With this product, you can reader-enable your
document so that users can submit the filled-out form with Acrobat Reader. The steps involved in
this case would be:
- Design your form in Designer and save it as a PDF. Set the properties on the submit button so
it will submit the entire PDF.
- Reader-enable the form by running it through Reader Extensions Server and enabling the rights
to save form data.
- Deploy the reader-enabled PDF File to your end users.
- End user opens the form in Acrobat Reader.
- End user fills out the form and submits it. The filled-out PDF file will be attached to the
email.
Hope this helps!

Problem with Submit via Email Button

When I open the PDF on my desktop and click the submit button it gives me the option of internet or desktop email program. Both of those work fine. But when I load the pdf onto my website, open the form from there and try to submit it neither option works.
1. When I click the Desktop Email Application - nothing at all happens. (we use groupwise)
2. When I click the internet email button it asks me to name the file but then when i try to save it i get this error: Acrobat Could not open the file XXXXXXXXX Detailed Error: A file error has occured.
Here is a link to the form: http://csa.niu.edu/extprograms/_pdf/arts/CSA%20Live%20Reg%20v3.pdf
PS - Also it does not work in chrome or firefox which is annoying you have to use IE. If you have thoughts about how to fix that I would appreciate it! I tried lowering the adobe version from 9 to 8 which did nothing and when i lowered it to 7 it displayed but nothing worked in the form.
Any help would be awesome!
Thank You!

Here's a link with instructions on how to enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF Reader, and disable each browsers default PDF "Viewers".
Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
IE doesn't have a built in PDF Viewer, and other browser's PDF Viewers such as Chrome and FF, don't allow submissions.
Note: Adobe Reader users need to have the form's usage rights extended so Adobe Reader users can submit PDF format. Otherwise, Adobe Reader users are limited to submitting data formats only (FDF, XML, XFDF, XDP), not the whole PDF.
Also: For compatibility and security reasons you should set the submit button URL to point to a server-side script such as PHP or ASP.net, and bypass client-side email software.
For examples on how to submit to a server-side script check out the following:

Email Button not working with Eudora

Hello!
I have created a form in LiveCycle using an button that has Java on it to send an email. I believe it is Choice #4 on Paul's list of email options. When users with Eudora try to use the form it does nothing. The form will not send or anything. No error message either. Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks!
Jodi

This is what I am using on the button
//Create a variable to hold the document object
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: Campus.rawValue + " - Voucher Payment Request - " + Name.rawValue,
cMsg: "If you have any questions please contact Emily Lange"
What would I have to change to make it HTML?
You also suggested that MAPI needs to be switched on. Is this something that the user can do? Or is this a global variable?
Thanks!

Email PDF with button

Hi all,
I have a form that wroks perfectly in Acrobat but not in Reader.
The form has a button that when clicked it locks all the fields & opens up a new email window with the PDF attached to it, this is how it works when used in Acrobat.
The problem its with the user of Reader, when they click the button, the fields are locked but no email is sent and no new email window opens.
I have Reader extended the form & selected all the options, but still that doesnt help.
Can you please assist.
Regards,
Andile

Can you send me the form so I can try it here?
Send it to [email protected] and include a description of your issue in the email please.

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.

the doucment couldn't be sent.
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 can I save multiple emails as separate files with 1 export?

I need to save hundreds of emails as separate files. If I select all of the emails, then export as PDF, it doesn't save with their Subject titles, just numbers. If I try prints, save as pdf, it consolidates them all into 1 file. If I try to save as txt files, it only saves the first message. If I try dragging and dropping the emails into a folder, it won't let me (only one at a time). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe there is a third party app that saves email(s) as pdf's:
