Email Submit Button - Change Text/Confirm submission

I have an Email Submit Button on my survey, which I am 'distributing'. I would like for it to do 2 things once you click on the "Email Submit Button":
1) Text of the button changes once it been clicked on in order to show that the survey was submitted. Right now, all I can figure is how to have the text change when you roll over the box or for the secnod you click on the box-- i want the caption to change once its been clicked.
2) a text box appears below that can act as a "thank you for submitting your survey...".
any help and advice is much appreciated!

Thanks for the response Paul. I feel like i'm very close, but I'm still not there... I'm not sure where to enter this javascript you sent me. The only script I know to find is the XML Source ...if that's the right place, where do I enter your code?

Submit button change text

Please how can I change word submit in submit button? I need it have in a local (slovak) language.

Genevieve,
I tried to edit the "Submit" text in my generated PDF form and got an error message. Within Adobe Acrobat XI, Tools panel > Content Editing tools, when I click the Edit Text & Images button, an error message appears: "This is a secured document. Editing is not permitted."

Add text field into the 'subject' of a email submit button

I have a form where the client will enter their name, organisation, query and details of their query into text fields. I would like the text in the 'query' field to be added to the 'subject' of the email submit button. This will identify different queries submitted by other clients before opening up the completed pdf form attachment.

Hi,
if you use ES3 or ES4 you can use my macro to create email scripts with values from form fields.

ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
Can anyone help?

Alan
Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
filename_dataset_0001.pdf
then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
filename_pub_0001.pdf
You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

Email Submit Button - Crash (Not severe)

To reproduce:
1. Create a new blank form. Select Next.
2. Select Defaults. Select Next.
3. Select any Return Method (E.g. Print) Select Next.
4. Select Finish to start.
5. Insert an Email Submit Button.
6. Leave the Email Address and Subject fields blank.
7. On the click event for example, type a code (e.g. app.fullscreen = true;)
8. Going back to the email field type an email address or subject.
9. Designer wouldn't be able to catch the error and crash.
This bug report is tagged as not severe since users can circumvent by simply avoiding this sequence. Note that other similar actions may trigger this event.

Email submit button is not working

Now facing strange problem for email submit button. A custome script (event.target.submitForm) is used for sending mail. It is working well adobe reader 9.1 but getting block Acrobat X pro. Also update reader can not submit the form by mail.
A pop box appears which says Acrobat does not allow the connection to:..........
I was trying to allow the restriction but not get any option to select. Edit > preferences > Trust Manager > change setting > under manage internet access I cannot edit any option.
Has adobe changed any policy? How can I submit form by email?

The email button can only work for Reader users if the document is Reader-enabled with Acrobat (or LiveCycle Reader Extensions). Do you have Acrobat?
For the text field problem, you just have to make them multiline. In LiveCycle Designer, select a text field, open the Object palette, and select "Allow Multiple Lines" on the Field tab. You may want to also select "Limit Length to Visible Area".

Email Submit Button problem

I used the Email Submit Button on a couple of forms but it is not working. It creates an email, but the attachment is in .xml format. If I change it to Submit As: PDF, it does not create any email at all. I would like it to create an email with an attachment in pdf format that keeps all the user entered data. Impossible?

Hi,
Try doing the following
try using the simple 'Button'. In the button's object properties, in the tab named 'field', select 'Control Type: submit'.
Then, in the 'submit' tab in the object properties, choose PDF in the 'submit format' dropdown field.
In the 'submit to URL field' type:
mailto:nameataddress.com?subject=mySubject&body=Done
You may need to adjust the e-mail address, subject and body text.

Customizing email body on email submit button

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to modify what the body of the email will look like once the user has pressed an email submit button. In Livecycle designer, I clicked on the button and viewed the xml source. I scrolled down to the following line:
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:test&test.com?subject=My subject"/>
Then changed it to:
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:test&test.com?subject=My subject?body=new body"/>
When I tested the button, the text "?body=new body" was appended to the subject line instead of being included in the body itself.
I wondered if anyone could tell lme where I'm going wrong?
Appreciate any help.

What I ran across in my searching (that worked) was to create hidden fields that contained the data I wanted to use. I also used a "dummy" submit button. The "real" submit button was created as a literal submit button and the following code inserted into the click event of the "dummy" button (which is a Regular button)
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + SUBJECT.rawValue;
//app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
RealEmail.execEvent("click");
This code was modified from another's answer, but does the job. The field "SUBJECT" is set as "Hidden" in the presence drop-down of the object tab. I suspect one could add '&body=' as follows
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=" + SUBJECT.rawValue + "&body=" + BODY.formattedValue;
You would create the field "BODY" and insert the message text and call the formatted value to fill it in. Set the field to "Hidden" so it does not affect your form layout. I am open to being corrected by more experienced scripters (Please and thank you) if I am in error, here.

Hidden Email Submit Button & Mandatory Check Boxes

Hi guys
I'm trying to get my form to only allow people to return the form (via email) once they have accepted the terms and conditions AND the privacy policy.
Their acceptance of these is confirmed by 2 check boxes called acceptservicesterms and acceptprivacypolicy respectively. For each of these check boxes I have added this script to 'initialise':
this.mandatory = "error";
this.mandatoryMessage = "You must accept our Services Booking Terms and Conditions to request a booking";
I have then set my email submit button (EmailSubmitButton) to 'hidden (exclude from layout)' and created a 'fake' email submission button in its place. The click event for the FakeEmailSubmitButton is scrpited as:
if (acceptserviceterms.rawValue != "bookingtermsagreed")
xfa.host.messageBox("You must accept our Services Booking Terms and Conditions to request a booking");
else if (acceptprivacypolicy.rawValue != "privacypolicyagreed")
xfa.host.messageBox("You must accept our Privacy Policy to request a booking");
else
EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");
Where the 'on' values are 'bookingtermsagreed' and 'privacypolicyagreed' respectively.
Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for me - I'm not sure if the javascript is completely correct, or if I have gone about this the right way. Can anyone shed any light on what I've done wrong please?
Thanks in advance

if (acceptserviceterms.rawValue != "bookingtermsagreed")
in this line the field name is acceptservicesterms but u typed as acceptserviceterms - letter s missing.
after this correction i am able to see the error messages.

Help with making an Email Submit button on a form!

Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.
Im trying to put on it a email submit button - i used email submit field and made the button. Then in the Objects Palette, in the box that says email address i put in the email address that i want it to be sent to. I then tried to email the form, and i received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to come through with the PDF form.
I searched on help and this is what i found:
3.
In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.
4.
Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.
To
Use this URL protocol
Example
Submit the package to an ftp site
ftp
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server
http
http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server
https
https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address
mailto
mailto:[email protected]
5.
Select PDF from the Submit As list.
I cant find where to change these options - can someone help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The issue is that if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader cannot submit the form as a PDF.
They can submit it as an XML file and then you would re-import this back into the form on receipt. It is an extra step, but it does have the advantage that the data being submitted as an XML file is very small.
If you really need/want the form to be submitted as a PDF AND your users have Reader, then the form will have to be Reader Enabled.
There are two options:
Reader Enable using Acrobat Standard (version 9) or Acrobat Professional (version 8). This will give certain rights, like the ability for users with Reader to save the form and for the form to be submitted as a PDF. However there are licensing restrictions, see EULA.
The other option is to Reader Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. This is a server product, which entails additional cost and a cost to Reader Enable each form. It is intended for processing large volumes of forms/large volumes of data.
There is a summary here:
http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
So there are a couple of options.
Form NOT Reader Enabled:
Users cannot save the data they input.
Data must be submitted as an XML file and processed on receipt.
Form IS Reader Enabled:
Users can save the data they input.
Data can be submitted as a PDF (or XML file).
Hope that helps,

Email submit button doesn't work after digitally signing document

I have a PDF fillable form that works great except for the digital signature fields. Every employee needs to fill it out, sign it, hit the email submit button to faward it to the boss, who then signs it and saves it. There are two digital signature fields that need to be signed by different people. If the employee fills out all of the fields and then hits the email submit button, everything works as it should. However, if they sign it digitally like we need them to and then press the email submit button, nothing happens. It's like the button is no longer interactive at all. The mouse doesn't even change anymore when hovering over it. How can I fix this?

When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?) Mac users have the Preview Application as their default PDF viewer, and it does not support many interactive features such as form submissions. Although some third-party PDF viewers for Windows support form submissions, many do not.
For those that do not use PDF viewers that support form submissions, they will have to manually attach the document to an email message.

Email submit button(s) help

I have a 5 page form and I need each page to go to a different email adress. I have put a different email submit button on each page, but is there a way to script the button to only send the current page and not any of the others? Or have one main email submit button that sends each page to a different email address? I am new to Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES, but I have a (VB) programming background, so it seems like it should be possible with code Thanks
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES ver 8.2

Hi,
The submit by email function will attach the complete form to the email. It cannot (afaik) split a form into five different PDFs.
However there are workarounds.
If you save the form as a Dynamic XML form in the save as dialog, then you can show and hide pages.
Here is an example of a form that changes the presence property of pages, depending on the choice selected from the dropdown.
http://www.assuredynamics.com/index.php/category/portfolio/showing-and-hiding-pages/
When it comes to something like this it is helpful to split the script. The mouseUp event fires before the click event.
For example for the email button on page 1, you can modify the script in the example to hide each of the pages 2-5 in the mouseUp event and then in the click event have the email script. In the postSubmit event you could have script to show all the pages again.
A word of caution - if the user has Reader then the form needs to be Reader Enabled, otherwise the submit as PDF will fail silently.
Hope that helps,
Niall

Whenever i click the button its conacatenate the subject line with -- " Subject line &body body of the mail ".
My requirement is to change the body of the mail. Can anyone help me on this issue.

var mail;
var add = mailAddress.rawValue; // the to mail address you want.
var msg = "Sample message"; // This is the body of the mail Customize it as per need by fetching value from different fields
var sub = "Sample Subject"; // This is the subject of the mail.

Email submit button - email subject doesn't work

I have a form I created in Livecycle. I have an email submit button.
The properties of the button let me change the subject of the email. But no matter what I set that to, when the button is click it will only send the form saying "Submitting Completed Form"
I cannot get it to change to anything else!
I am using a manual distribution method (also when saving it will let me rename the form, but then just creates a _distributed.pdf file that is the same name as the form).
Also the email to never changes. I can set it to whatever I like, but when I distribute, it will also go to the person designated when I made the form.
I'm using ES2 on Win 7 64 bit.

What type of CC are you using. The only supported ones are Master Card and Visa. If you are using a different one then it will not allow you to use the Submit. I appolgize, I want to be sure of the issue.
If you are still having problems the next step is a partial erase on the device. Here is a link on how to do that process:

Email Submit button trying to save

When I use the email submit button it is trying to save the form instead of attaching it to an email. Started doing this since changed OS to WIndows 7 from XP

instead of using the submit button, use the normal button to send it via email
Insert this code to send it via email
var oDoc = event.target;
                              oDoc.mailDoc({
                                                                                bUI: false,
                                                                                cTo: "[email protected]",
                                                                                cCC: "",
                                                                                cSubject: "THS Extension Request - " + this.resolveNode("Main1.frmPart1.frmInformation.frmCallUpInfo.txtCallUpRef").rawValue,
                                                                                cMsg: "Before submiting the email, include attachments 1, 2 and 3:\n"
Also if you want to validate your form before submitting, you can check before submitting it by email with this
if (form1.execValidate()){
     //mailDoc
