Email buttons functionality

hi,
i have not worked on the notification part of workflow yet, and so wanted to clarify something.
I presume, the notification has certain pre-built buttons for approve/reject. As a workflow developer I would need to code the plsql to implement the call to the plsql procedure when the approve button is clicke. Is this is a correct assumption.. So, would this is be a call to a plsql procedure accessed through a web server url ?
Appreciate it if i can some addntl info on this, as I am not very clear on what can be achieved from the email.
I am building a simple state transition system with notification that the recipient of the mail, and click on something in the email which would change the value of the specified value in the table.
regards
Ananth

Hi,
My templates are stored in a custom table from which, single template is selected when the user tries to send email. I have used apex_collections now, as per explained by fac. Thanks a lot for all the help.
1 more thing i want to ask, does apex_item provides runtime creation of HTML Editor? If yes, can anybody tell me the process to create it? By this i mean, i want to do something like
select apex_item.textarea(1,body_text) from custom_table
but want to change textarea by html editor. Can i do this in APEX?
With Regards,
Sunil Bhatia

Email Button Functionality

Hi,
I have written following email script on button(not Email button). The problem is the functionality is not working in Adobe Acrobat Reader version and it is working fine in Adobe Acrobat pro and Adobe Standard
var mail;
var saddress = "[email protected]";
var subj = "Test Subject";
mail = "mailto: " + saddress + "?Subject=" + subj;
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: mail,
bEmpty: true,
cSubmitAs: "PDF",
cCharset: "utf-8"
Can someone please help where I have done wrong.
Thank you in advance
Regards,
Jayakar

Jayakar:
Adobe Reader users can only submit XDP, FDF, XFDF, XML formats unless the form has Usage Rights Enabled in Reader.
However, if you can only submit XDP, FDF, XFDF, or XML, you can merge the PDF submit response with a blank PDF form on a server by submitting to a server side script, and attach the merged document to an e-mail message and send via SMTP server without Client-Side email software such as Outlook.

Designer8..The Send Email button function gives an Error

I created a name and address form and a dropdown combo in AA9 then saved and closed it.
I then opened it in designer 8 and placed a "send by Email" button and closed it.
I then opened the pdf file in Reader 9 (as a user would) Then filled out the form and clicked the "send by Email" button (sent to myself) it arrived as an .xml attachment and would not open....Just gave this error message
Adobe Reader could not open 'poolcuetip_data(1).xml' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example. it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
Is there a Fix for this error (tried it several times)
OR
Can I put a send email button on the Acrobat form without having to open in Designer ? If so How ??????
TIA

There are many restrictions on submit by email and they vary by the code used to perform the submit. If you use the builtin "mailXXXX" method the user must have Windows and and a MAPI enabled email client. And if you use the URI "mailto" format the user with Reader must be viewing the PDF from within a web browser. And then you have the timing problems with slow computers or larger PDF forms. And this does not even start to cover email filters, identity issues and son on.
If you can use the sumbit to server script.

You can create a button with Javascript to do what you want BUT it will
not be reliable since:
1) Some people use a web browser to receive and send email. Your button
will not work.
2) Some people will use a non-supported email client. For example, on
the Mac, my email program Mailsmith won't work. Neither will
Thunderbird. On the Windows side, my email client is Agent. It won't
work either.
It is nice that Adobe offers the possibility of using some email
clients, BUT since it doesn't always work, it is an invitation to
frustration.
It is better to post the form on the web and use a script to get the
information on the form. If you want, the script can email you the results!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to override the “E-mail a Link” button on the Ribbon.
I had created a simple demo to override the “E-mail a Link” button on the Ribbon, you can have a look at it.

Issues with LiveCycle ES4 - "Distribute Form" greyed out and "email button" not functioning

Bought this software on 8/1/13.
Designed my first form, "saved to repository" and proceeded to test. The email function for whatever reason does not work. Went back and examined the properties to the button, I have it set up correctly. In fact the XMS format works perfect, but I want the form to come via PDF when emailed. This feature is not coming through on email.
I am not sure if the above two issues are related however I did read that in the stand-alone software, the "distribute form" is not offerred which I wonder if this the reason it is greyed out.
Can anyone help me work through the "email button" issue?

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.

Submit by Email Button won't function

Hope this has n't been answered too many times before. Couldn't find anything so wopuld appreciate any help...
Anyhoo,
Have created a samiple plain old form in Acrobat/Live Cycle with the Email and Print buttons on top.
When I send it to someone with Acrobat it works fine, however....
If they do not have Acrobat and only have Reader on their PC, the Submit by Email button does not function (although the Print one does).
You initially get a information box telling you it will send data this way, but once closed it has no functionality...
Obviously I am doing something wrong as usual but can't figure it out. It is saved out as a Adobe Static PDF file....
Any help please please please..

YOu have to Reader Extend the form to allow this. Open it in Acrobat and under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" option. This will start a wizard. Take all of the default settings. Once finsihed save the file and distribute that saved file.

Multiple gmail accounts with 'email link' function

My wife and I have separate gmail accounts and both are normally open in my Firefox session. When I use the 'email link' function, it always wants to send from my wife's gmail account. How can I change the function so it uses my gmail account? Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Mail>the account and turn off each account and turn them back on
- Delete the accounts from the iPod and reenter the settings.
- Last, restore the iPod

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.

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 from Order template conformation page.

hi,
I got new requirement.in that i have to give give email button on Order template conformation page.
if i click on email button new popup page will come and it will contain from email id,CC and messege.
and i have to add entire item list in email.
please guide me something for this requirement.
Thanks in advance,
jayesh talreja

Hi Jayesh,
Its an interesting scenario .Anyways to add an email link to the confirm.jsp all you need to do is to add the below javascript and html to confirm.jsp
function email() {
           var url='<isa:webappsURL name="/ecall/customer/interaction0.do?interactionType=email"/>';
           var spd=window.open(url,"compareWindow","menubar=no,      directories=no, height=600 width=750, scrollbars=yes, status=no, toolbar=no, top=84, left=212");
           spd.focus();
<tr>
     <td class="value">
        <a hre="javascript:email()"><b><isa:translate key="cic.prompt.index.mail"/></b></a>
     </td>
</tr>
Adding these lines will you a link for email on confirm.jsp on clicking on which you will get a new window with the Cc and all
the required fields and it is used for sending the mails. But your issue for sending the item data from confirm page is still left.
I will also try to find out the easiest way to send this data.

Arshi

Flash CS5 - Email Button

I've tried searching online, in Adobe, through the Flash Help section, as well as Lynda.com to try and find a SIMPLE "mailto" feature for an email button I created for a portfolio website I have in Flash CS5. It used to be SO SIMPLE in previous versions to set this up, but now, I can't seem to find it anywhere - and a code set up that works.
Anyone have the code and/or Step-by-Step How To instructions on how to set up a simple mailto: email button in Flash CS5 with AS3.0?
Louise

If you mean that you are used to using Code Assist to do all of your Actionscript, then I can't really help you there. I gave up using that after the first time I ever tried, somewhere about Flash 4. I have since always done all of my coding via manual input into the Actions panel. The code you would enter would look something like...
email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openMail);
function openMail(evt:MouseEvent):void {
navigatetToURL(new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]"));
And be sure to test on a server.

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).

LiveCycle 8.0 Digital Signature shows Orange Flag ONLY IF Blank Form Has Submit or Email Button

My subject line says it all. After a lot of experimenting, including reinstalling Adobe Designer Standard 8.0, I have found that, in Adobe LiveCycle 8.0.1291.1.339988, my drag-and-dropped Document Signature Field will include a clickable orange flag ONLY IF the blank form I started with includes an E-mail button or Submit button. Strange but true. If you then delete these buttons, the orange clickable flag still appears fine.
Try it...
In Adobe Designer Standard 8.0 LiveCycle:
1. File > New.
2. Select Use a blank form, Next.
3. Next.
4. In Form Return Setup dialog box, DEselect Add an Email button and DEselect Add a print button (so that both are NOT checkmarked).
5. Click Finish.
6. Drag a Document Signature Field to the blank page.
7. Click PDF Review tab. Note that no orange clickable flag appears for the user then to be able to use for entering a digital signature.
Close the page.
Try a variation now that will work (yielding an orange clickable flag):
1. File > New.
2. Select Use a blank form, Next.
3. Next.
4. In Form Return Setup dialog box, SELECT either the Add an Email button OR the Add a print button (so that either IS checkmarked).
5. Click Finish.
6. Drag a Document Signature Field to the blank page.
7. Click PDF Review tab. Note that an orange clickable flag DOES appear this time for the user then to be able to use for entering a digital signature.
8. For further test, click the Design View tab and now DELETE the displayed button.
9. Click PDF Review. The flag is still there.
BOTTOM LINE: It at least looks like it's not just "Distribute forms" that requires that you have a button at Blank Form creation time. Also "Digital Signature" functionality requires that you display a button at Blank Form creation time -- which you can then delete.
A bug? Or do I have some major concept wrong -- maybe I'm mis-interpreting the whole Digital Signature concept and process?

Is this in the wrong forum? The problem I am having is with Acrobat's Distribution feature.

Validate.nullTest working only with the EMAIL button

Hello,
This piece of code is working just great when submiting a form by
email.
TextField1.validate.nullTest = "error"; (highlighting the empty fields when pushing the EMAIL button)
On the print button it doesn't have any effect. How can I highlight
the required fields when clicking the print button the same easy way
as with the email button? (I have other highlighting scripts but I want to use the exact same method as used on EMAIL)
Your input is really appreciated! And any explanations for this stupid behavior?

To make this functionality you can use two buttons trick:
First button Print, onClick event should has this script: realPrintButton.execEvent("click").
Second button is invisble Print button.
So, when you click on your first button print validation is appear and real print will be executed.
