Email button without submit

Trying to setup an email button that just launches the email app with a "to" address but I keep getting a "/" at the end of the email.
I've tried:
xfa.host.gotoURL("mailto://[email protected]//[email protected]");
app.launchURL("mailto://[email protected]//[email protected]");

Hi Jono,
Try
app.launchURL(
mailto:[email protected]?cc=[email protected]&bcc=[email protected]&subject=Message Title&body=Message Content);
Seems to work in Acrobat 9.2 ... haven't tested any others.

Can you add a submit by email button without a "default" to: address?

Can you add a submit by email button without a "default" to: address? I need the email window to launch without an addressee so the user can manually type in their addressee as needed. (A completed pdf will be attached to the email as well).

Hi,
use a regular button with this script in its click event.
event.target.mailDoc({
          bUI: true,
          cTo: '',
          cCc: '',
          cBcc: '',
          cSubject: 'My form',
          cMsg: 'Dear ...,\n\nhere is the final form data. \n\nKind regards\n...'

How do I use Submit by Email button to submit form as document, not data file?

Hi
Just configure your submit button to submit as PDF instead:

Email Button without attachment

I am hoping to send an email from a pdf that sends the link for where the pdf form is on the local drive rather than the physical copy of the pdf form.
I have figured out how to place the link of the location of the file into the body, but I can't figure out how to disable the file attachment part of the submit button.
Is there anyway to disable the attachment when you use the submit command? I have tried playing with EmailButton.resolveNode("$..#submit").format but can't change it to nothing. And if the submit button my submit something is there any other way to send an email without using the submit command?
Thanks!

You can do it by scripting your own submit button.
So use a regular button and put the following on the click event of the button. The operators can point to field rawValues instead of hard coding the values (cTo, cCC, cSubject, cMsg).
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cCC: "[email protected]",
cSubject: "This is my email subject",
cMsg: "This is my email message"

Button without submit

Hi all,
I'm trying (without any succes sofar) to create a button on a page, that calls some javascript when clicked, but does not submit (nor redirect). Can this be done ?
Everytime I create a button in HTMLDB the doSubmit attribute is automatically added.
tx,
Jo

Hello,
you need to create a html button and not a template driven one
You need to specify the target for the button as a url. The url should be something like
javascript:your_function_name();
This will stop it from submitting
Hope this helps

Email Button to Submit 1 page of Multipage Report

I currently have a multipage pdf designed that I would like to be able to have a button at the end that will just email the last page of the pdf. Can this be done?
Thanks,
Wendy

Add a regular button to the form.
Add/Modify the following script on the click event of the button:
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+"[email protected]"+"?&body="This is a test email "&subject="+ subject +", cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
You will need an Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server to make this possible for users who only have Reader and not full Acrobat.

Creating a 'Send Email' button

Is it possible to create the 'send email' button without
selecting 'show scores at end of quiz' within the Quiz options of
Captivate 3? What I would like to do is create a button which
initiates the sendmail function without having the review
slide.

I don't just want an email button. That is pretty easy to
get. What I am looking for is a button that will submit quiz data
to the sendemail javascript function, just like the Send Email
button on the results slide. What I don't want is the actual
results slide.
With the results slide, even after turning everything off
within Quiz prefs, I see a Send Email button, a Continue button,
and the results area. I just want the Send Email button, nothing
else (I can't seem to delete the others).

How to use the submit button without an email address

We are changing the way one of our forms is used. Previously the "submit by email" button opened up an email with a specific TO: address. Now we like to have the user put in the address but still have the form attached to the email when it is opened.
Has anyone done this or does anyone have an idea how we can accomplish this?

Place a HTTP submit button in your form and update the User Entered email using the below script.
YourHTTPSubmitButton.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + txtEmailField.rawValue

Submit by Email Button Trouble

I have created a form fillable pdf with a Submit by Email button. The problem I am having is that some people I send this to fill out the form, click on the Submit by Email button and nothing happens. It doesn't work at all. Others have no problem with it working. Have you experienced this problem, or can you offer any suggestions how to correct this? I really need for this to work 100% of the time, or I will just need to remove this feature. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

When it doesn't work, do you know what PDF viewer is being used? It won't work with certain non-Adobe PDF viewers, such as the Preview application on the Mac or Google Chrome browser's built-in PDF viewer. It also may not work even if using Adobe Reader if the client doesn't have a propertly set up email client or the email client is otherwise not compatible. It will never work 100% of the time when sending by email.
If you want to increase the reliablility significantly, you should look into setting it up so the form submits to a web server. This has the added benefit of being able to be secure without too much trouble, unlike email.

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.

Error message when testing Submit by Email button

I used Adobe LiveCycle for the first time to create a form. I added both a Submit by email and Print buttons. When I go to Adobe Professional to test my form to email, I get an security error message that the documet is trying to connect to my email address as the correct domain. I then have the option to Allow or Block. When I click Allow nothing happens and I don't get the email in my inbox.
Please assist as I need to send out this form and want users to be able to send w/out an issue.
Thanks.

Can an Acrobat Pro DC fillable form have a submit by email button that works in all browsers?

Last time I attempted to make an online fillable pdf form the submit (to email) button wouldn't work in all browsers.
Has this been addressed in Acrobat Pro DC?
What is the best way to obtain a successful result?

Two issues may affect the ability to successfully receive the PDF submission:
First, the built-in PDF "Viewers" lack the ability to submit PDF form and form data, viewers are not compatible with Live-Cycle XFA PDFs, and they lack Extended Reader Rights proprietary to Adobe Software. End-users will need to disable the default built-in viewer, and enable Adobe Reader as the default PDF viewer on the default browser.
Visit the following website to learn how to enable Adobe Reader: Acrobat Help | Display PDF in browser | Acrobat, Reader XI
Second, submitting to an email address may not send; because, the default client-side email may not be configured correctly. To bypass client-side email software you can set the submit button action to point an URL of a server-side script, such as PHP or ASP.net. The script can take the submission and send using SMTP account without the need for OUTLOOK or web-mail.
Visit the following website for online server-side script examples:

Using a "Button" to submit the user entered data as a PDF into Email

I have created a form in which the user fills out the form and clicks a "Button" to submit the data via PDF(attached to an email) to a specific email address (mailto:[email protected]). When I email the blank to coworkers it does not allow the functon to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Also if you have the time is there a way to define the order of data when user's submit via xml?

That did it. Thank you greatly!

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.

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.
