Email PDF with a different filename

Is it possible to submit the PDF via email with a different or custom filename? For example, if I am entering data in a file called myform.pdf, I click a submit button to send the filled pdf form via email, I would like the name of the PDF form to be something like COMPANYA.PDF where COMPANYA comes from a text field I have on the form.

Hi Kimberly,
Under Adobe LiveCycle Designer,
go to topic "Submit by Email function" at:

People have very kindly given the code & instructions for the "Submit by Email" button. I used it and it works great!

You can change your email address as much as you want in your support profile: https://supportprofile.apple.com/
Purchases are linked to your Apple ID, not your email address. They are not necessarily identical.

Business Server is email pdf with a .dat extention after 8398280

Customer applied 8398280. After which ran into a few problems, one which is that when they schedule a report to run and send via email (that they had chosen to run as pdf) the attached file of the report gets sent with a .dat extention. If they save and change the extention to .pdf, then they can view the file just fine. Can anyone tell me how the name of the file with the extenion is being controled, and of course how to fix this so it gets sent with a .pdf extention?
thanks in advanced

I am experiencing the exact same issue...did you resolve this one? Hss anyone tried to reregister the report with a different name? Or recreating xml templates?

Email pdf fails on different login

Hello Everyone,
Created an emailable pdf form with livecycle. Tested on that computer under a different login (someone else working on it) and it continually failed to send (operation failed). Tested on a different computer and it works fine. Tested under a different login on original computer and it works fine. Any ideas what could be failing?
Here is how we created it and stats of system (corporate system so changes not an option):
xp
acrobat 9
associated livecycle designer
created email submit button and changed xml to "pdf" in the submit area
opened form in acrobat and added advanced->extend for reader, saved file
opened just after that in reader, operation fails
opened on different computer and different user, operation works.
Thanks for the help!!

Hello all,
I have narrowed down the error but still need help to fix. On initial opening of the form for that session of being logged in, if the person's email program is not open (outlook) then reader opens an invisible instance and creates a new email with the pdf attached (all good so far). Then, hitting send, closes that instance of outlook message and puts the message in the outbox but does not send!!! Then, when I try to send another form by hitting send by email button, the operation fails. At a guess it is because there is something not completely closing down on a failed send from outlook. Also, when the email pops up to send and instead of sending is canceled by closing, on the next instance of trying to send (same reader open session or closing and trying again) there is an operation fail. Presuming this is because of the same reason that the action sending to outlook is not properly shut down.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this error??

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.

Email PDF with data not XML

Good day everyone,
I have designed a form with two email buttons, ie Send To Manager and Submit Form. Now what I want to happen is this:
When one of the buttons is clicked, I want the recipient to receive a PDF form (NOT an xml) with all the datat that the employee has completed.
Currently the xml is sent & when I open the xml, its blank, all the data is not there. I'm using LiveCycle Designer ES 8.1

Ace

Email pdf with hyperlink

Hi,
I am trying to email an optimized pdf file with hyperlinks. The links work and show up when I am in Acrobat (version - Prof. 9.0), but when i email the pdf they do not show up in the email. My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email (so u don't have to actually open any programs) with the links active, so when reading the email you can move your cursor over it and the link will show as active. Hope that makes sense, in essence it's basically an email blast, but for some reason my links aren't showing up in the final email. I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

>My ultimate goal is for the entire pdf page to show up in the email
Impossible to assure that with all users. Many may have their email client set to show it as an attachment only.

HT204161 email associated with two different Apple IDs keeps me from logging in

It seems I have two different apple id accounts both associated with the same recovery email address. As I enter to “Manage My Apple ID” it tells me I need to verify my email address.
Specifically, it says “A verification email was previously sent to [email protected] We can resend the verification email to the same address, or if this address is incorrect you can change your Apple ID and email address.”
I hit the “Send Verification Email” button, but it tells me
“Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.” and I’m stuck, because I’m not sure what that other Apple ID that is associated with that email address is. Can anyone help me out?

I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

How do you set up an email folder with a different name on IPad mini with IOS7

On my computer I have serveral different folders to separate mail as it comes in. How do I do this on my IPad mini IOS 7? There seems to only a very limited number of folders I can use and cannot change their names. Is there a way to separate my incoming mail on my mini IPad as I do on my IMAC?

You can only create folders in the mail app on the iPad if you have an IMAP email account. If your email account was an IMAP account, those folders would have already synced to the iPad. If they are not already on the iPad, your account isn't IMAP and you can't create folders.
The folders that you created on the iMac are for local storage and organization only. The Mac Mail App allows you to do that. There is no such feature for the mail app on the iPad.
Just to be sure and as a double check ..... If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

Advanced "Save as PDF" script that saves 2 PDF presets with 2 different Names

HI Everyone,
I am looking to improve a save as pdf workflow and was hoping to get some direction. Here is the background...
I routinely have to save numerous files as 2 separate PDFs with different settings (a high res printable version and a low res email version). Each file has to be renamed as follows...
Original filename = MikesPDF.ai
High Res PDF Filename = MikesPDF_HR.pdf
Low Res PDF Filename = MikesPDF_LR.pdf
I was able to alter the default "SaveAsPDF" script to save the files to my desired settings and to add the suffix to the name. So with these scripts here is how the workflow operates...
1. Open all files I wish to save as pdfs
2. Select script to save files as high res pdfs
3. Illustrator asks me to choose a destination.
4. Illustrator adds the appropriate suffix and saves each file as a pdf to my desired setting. ("Save As" not "Save a Copy").
5. Now all of the open windows are the new pdfs, not the original ai files.
6. Now I have to close each window. For some reason Illustrator asks me if I want to save each document when I tell it to close window, even though the file was just saved. I tell it to not save and everything seems to be fine.
7. Reopen all the files I just saved as high res pdfs.
8. Repeat the entire process except I run the script specifically designed for the low res pdfs.
What I would like to do is to combine these two processes so that there will be one script that saves both pdfs. From what I understand, the script can't support "Save A Copy" so the workflow would go as follows...
1. Open all files I wish to save as pdfs
2. Select single script to save files as both high res and low res pdfs
3. Illustrator asks me to choose a destination.
4. Illustrator saves each file as a High Res PDF and adds the the "_HR" suffix.
5. Illustrator then re-saves the open windows as a Low Res PDF and replaces the "_HR" suffix with "_LR".
Here is the code for the High Res script, The Low Res script is pretty much the same except for a different preset name and different suffix. Any pointer that anyone could give me would be most appreciated. I am pretty much a noob to this stuff so please keep that in mind.
Thanks!
Mike

Thank you for the reply Bob!
Am I correct in assuming that these few lines of code replace all of the lines that I posted above?
Also, When populating the PDFSaveOptions lines, would the end result look like this? FYI, LowRes preset name = "Proof Low Res PDF - CMYK". HighRes preset name = "Proof High Res PDF"
#target illustrator
#targetengine "main"
for (x=0;x<app.documents.length;x++)
     var workingDoc = app.documents[x];
     var workingDocFile = workingDoc.fullName;
// populate these with your settings
     var lowResOpts = new PDFSaveOptions(Proof Low Res PDF - CMYK);
     var highResOpts = new PDFSaveOptions(Proof High Res PDF);
     var lowResFile = new File(workingDocFile.toString().replace(".ai","_LR.pdf"));
     workingDoc.saveAs(lowResFile,lowResOpts);
     var highResFile = new File(workingDocFile.toString().replace(".ai","_HR.pdf"));
     workingDoc.saveAs(highResFile,highResOpts);
     workingDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

Using javascript to save a pdf to a different directory and generating a new filename based on form fields in the document.

I have built the following script in an attempt to create a submit button that will automatically save the document in a different directory on my computer. It will also use the form field data "customer" and "date" to generate the filename. I printed out the variable myPath and it looks like it printed the correct string. I keep getting the following error:
TypeError: redeclaration of const path
any help would be much appreciated.
var customer = this.getField("Customer").value;
var date = this.getField("Date").value;
var path = "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/"
var reg = date.match(/(\d+)\/(\d+)\/(\d+)/);
var myPath= "C:/Users/awilliams/My Documents/Test/" + customer + "_" + reg[1] + "." + reg[2] + "." +
reg[3] + ".pdf";
this.saveAs(myPath);

"path" is a keyword within a PDF you should not use keywords as a name for any other object as a general rule.
Have you checked the PDF Reference to see how to create a file path name within a PDF, 3.10.1 File Specification Strings page 118?
Did you carefully read the Acrobat JavaScript Reference for the saveAs method?
The notes following the description:
Note: This method can only be executed during a batch or console event. See Privileged versus non-privileged context for details. The event object contains a discussion of JavaScript events.
(Adobe Reader S): This method is available in Adobe Reader for documents that have Save usage rights.

I cannot send a Pages document, Word format via email from my ipad if it has a picture in the the doc. I can send a Word doc if it does not have a pic in it or pdf with a pic. Any thoughs why a word doc with a pic in it won't email in Pages? thanks

I cannot send a Pages document, Word via email if the doc contains a picture. If I email a Pages doc without a pic in Word format or pdf with a pic it with go through to sender? Not sure why Pages won't send Word doc with a picture in it. I check the security on the email recipient and the email doesn't get blocked or throw in the junk box?
thanks,

If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion, Save As… has returned to the File menu when you hold down the Option/alt key. But you don't really "save" as other file types, you translate & export as Word or RTF or text or PDF & that is easily done by going to File > Export or Share > Export.
Also, please do us all a favor & don't use all capitals in your posts, either the body of the post or the title. All caps is the internet equivalent of shouting & is very hard to read.

Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.
