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.

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.

  • 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?

  • 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".

  • Presence Property for standard Email Submit Button

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to hide the presence of the standard Email Submit Button in Livecycle Designer?
    Example: User cannot access EmailSubmitButton1 until a valid date has been entered in to DateTime1 field.
    I have tried the presence property, with both a change event and exit event with no luck. I am assuming that since the standard Email Submit Button does not have a "click" event available, this task cannot be accomplished.
    Any assistance is welcome

    Hi Paul,
    You were correct, the mistake was on my part. I replaced the Button1 value in the script with the correct value "SubmitButton1".
    Thanks again for your assistance.
    Best Regards

  • LiveCycle form creation - email submit button

    I created a form in LiveCycle with an email submit button.  The button works for myself and another person for whom I was creating the form for.  However, now that I am testing this form with other users the email submit button is not working.  When users click the submit button it clicks blue but no response.  Because it was created in LiveCycle do I need to do something to enbed the functionality into the form.  The steps to follow in the help file have produced no results.
    Thanks

    Paul,
    I did that and I didn't get any wizard.  Just a dialog box including instructions to save the file as another name and that is it.
    Am I suppose to get something else?
    >>> pguerett <[email protected]> 8/19/2009 9:22 AM >>>
    Then that is your issue .....I am guessing that your tests were done on Acrobat right?
    To be able to submit a PDF from Reader you must Reader Extend the document. Open the file in Acrobat and under the Advanced/Extend Features for Adobe Reader menu follow the wizard to conclusion. Save the file as a different name (I like to have RE in the name so I know that I have extended it - filename_RE.pdf). Now try it with the new file.

  • Email submit button created in LC ES2 causes Acrobat and Reader to crash

    I've created a form in LC ES2, and included an email submit button. When I open this form in Acrobat Reader 10.1.3, click the submit button, and specify "Desktop Email Application," as opposed to the "Internet Email" option, no email is generated, Reader locks up and requires force closing. This happens also with Acrobat X Pro. With both programs, it happens (1) when the form is Reader enabled AND when it's not, (2) when I use an http submit button with a submit to URL of: mailto:[email protected], and (3) when I use a standard button, with control type "submit" and a submit to URL of: mailto:[email protected]
    I AM able to save the form in Acrobat Pro and in Reader (when rights are enabled), I just can't email it.

    Have had the same problem for years. It crashes for me when i just try to email within acrobat. Not sure if its a problem causes by my work network or if it is just another thing never to be fixed by Adobe.

  • Email Submit Button not Submitting Full Form

    Hi guys
    I'm new to LiveCycle Designer, so my problem may be something very simple that I have missed.
    I have a simple form which I intend to use for my clients to book training sessions with. It will be emailed to them or downloaded from my website to be completed and the submitted to me via the email submit button on the bottom of page 2.
    My form doesn't have any fancy coding or dynamic content - just simple text fields and drop down boxes. The subform spreads 2 pages and everything is included in just the one subform.
    The email submit button composes an email with the xml file attached, but the xml file only contains the data from the tabulated fields on page 2 - page 1 is completely ignored.
    Can anyone help me out with this please, I'd really appreciate it.

    Hi,
    If you look at the Object / Binding tab and then select the various subforms and objects. You will see that on page 1 these are set to "None"; whereas you will need these set to "Normal", like the table on page 2.
    If the binding is "None" then an xml submit will not return these values. If the binding is "Normal" then the data will be returned.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Email Submit button works in Acrobat but not Reader

    I have a form with an email submit button.  When those who have Adobe Reader click on the Submit button, nothing happens.  For the users with Acrobat, the submit button works as designed. The users all have the latest version of Reader, Java and Flash.  When the Acrobat users click the button a box appears asking them to select Desktop or Internet email.  Once they make a selection, the form is sent.  When the Reader users click the button nothing happens.  I'm sure there must be a setting somewhere that I need to adjust.  Can you help me?

    Hi Susan,
    I appreciate we have meandered through this, but bear with us...
    Here is a screen shot of a regular button set up to return the completed form as a PDF.
    Now if you deploy this form WITHOUT Reader Enabling the form, then users with Reader will see this warning:
    However before you deploy the form open it in Acrobat and go to the Advanced menu (in version 9) and select "Extend features in Acrobat Reader" and save the form with an amended name. Then send this new "Reader extended" form out to the users with Reader and they will be able to return the completed PDF.
    Without seeing the actual form it is difficult to work out how the submit button is set up.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • EMail submit Button: send back as PDF, not as XML

    Hello,
    I have integreated an email submit button in my interactive form for sending the PDF back to the SAP-CRM.
    If I click this button, an eMail opens with an XML attachment. But I want to send it back in PDF format by clicking this button. (because I want to save this document at the content server and so on..).
    Thanks in advance

  • Email submit button issue

    Hi Guys,
    I have designed few forms recently and i am fairly new to livecyle, I have actually 2 issues, bit odd and i have tried to be as much discriptive as i can.
    email submit button on all my forms works but it sends email to one perticular address and not to one that i programmed it to.
    I.e. Form 1 - email to  [email protected] - when i press submit button it will send email to [email protected]
    Form 2 - email to [email protected] - when i press submit button it will send email to [email protected]
    Form 3 - email to [email protected] - when submit button is pressed it sends email to [email protected]
    Now when i use this button on actual form it sends email to right addresse but it is obviously in XML format and wouldnt work for us, when i use button on distributed copy of the form (created via distribute form button) it sends email to wrong addresse in PDF formate (which is the formate we like).
    Also whatever i put in Email Subject box - it will always put "submitting completed form" in the email subject line.
    Not sure if it makes any different but we use outlook and i have tried this from several pcs.
    I think i have cheked and rechecked everything and can't fix it, any help would be great.
    Process i use to create this button is - Insert >standard>email submit, i will then put desired email address and email subject in relevant fields under Object pellette.
    Thanks,
    H

    There are two ways to set the adress in LiveCycle I know:
    1st is with the button itself, second is with Javascript/Formcalc.
    If I got you right and you have 3 different forms you could search for the [email protected] adress in the xml's and exchange it there or check out where the form gains the mail adress from. It's the easiest method to get rid of something you are not that sure where it is located in the form but know what it does ;D . (I had some similar problem since I overtook forms of someone else.)
    Did you check this thread out? http://forums.adobe.com/thread/462681?tstart=0
    Paul gave an example there how to deal with the various things on mail buttons.
    Edit: PS: On which event did you script it? Normally you can't script on the mail button itself so you need a fake button like Paul said.
    I'm also not good with Reader Extensions, since I can't experiment with those sry

  • Email body copy created by email submit button

    The body of a message created by the email submit button contains the following copy:
    "The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
    The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 for more details."
    How do I prevent this, or change the default copy?

    jimmy,
    I've also followed your advice. FYI I'm using LiveCycle Designer 7.1. My only problem is that I can't use HTML markup inside the HTTP Submit Button's URL attribute.
    For example, a
    tag in the HTTP Submit Button's URL attribute appears as just that inside the email body copy:
    . There's no line break.
    The default "Submit by Email" body copy message has a paragraph break as seen below:
    The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
    The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 for more details.
    My question is, how can I add HTML markup in the email body copy? Can this be done with the HTTP Submit button's URL attribute or can the Email Submit Button be customized to change the above email body copy?

  • 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

    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,

  • I want to have users submit the form in PDF format but it doesn't work using the email submit button

    Hi all,
    I have a form that I want to be returned to a specific email address as a PDF File. This is so that reservations people can open the pdf, and extract the information from it. Keeping it as a PDF will allow them to easily read and use the form.
    When I use the "Add and Email Submit button" approach, as outlined in the "How to" area, everything works fine, except that the format of the submitted file is in xml, not Pdf which is what I need it in.
    I then tried adding a Button to the document from the Library, and set it's "Control Type" to "Submit". This provided me with the submit sub-tab, where I set the "Submit Format" to PDF. In the "Submit to Url", I entered the following - "mailto:[email protected]" (without the quotes)
    The first approach works, but is not in the PDF format that I need (I believe).
    The second approach keeps giving the following error when one selects the submit button - "This operation is not permitted".
    We use Lotus Notes (yes, I know...not my favorite either, and it may be the problem here).
    Any help that might be provided is greatly appreciated!!
    Rob

    Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
    If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
    I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
    What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
    Thanks again,
    Rob

  • Email submit button doesn't work with Thunderbird

    I created a LiveCycle (v8.2.1) form with the email submit button. Works fine if the sender is using Outlook. If their using Thunderbird, it does not. I installed Thunderbird on my system (normally I use Outlook) and set Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs email to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email program. When I click the Email button on my LiveCycle PDF form, I get a message telling me: Select an Email Client. The "Desktop Email Application" radio button is checked and that should be fine; the explanation for this button indicates that it should be checked "if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.". I leave that checked, since I am using an email application and click OK. After 20-30 seconds, I get a message with the title bar: Microsoft Office Outlook "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook..." Allow|Deny|Help. I click Deny. After a minute or so, an Outlook "New" email window appears with the appropriate information from my LiveCycle PDF form. Right content, wrong email client. Since Thunderbird is my "default" email application, where is LiveCycle coming up with Outlook? What do my customers do who don't use Outlook?
    I hope someone has a good solution.
    Thanks.

    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 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?
