Email Submit Button to send message but no PDF attachment

Hello:
I have a PDF form with alot of information. I have a submit button which needs to send an email to someone with pieces of the information but doesnt need the PDF document. At the moment, I have manipulate the msg, subject, cc, bcc, etc.. but I cannot get it to stop attaching the document. anyone know how I can update my code for this?
var oDoc = event.target;
    oDoc.mailDoc({
    bUI: false,
    cTo: textbox.rawValue,
    cCc: textbox1.rawValue,
    cSubject: "AWARDED "
    cMsg: "hello custom message"

Hi,
to send only a message you need another method than mailDoc().
Use app.mailMsg() instead.
Here's a macro for Designer ES2/ES3, that can create both methods easily.

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(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

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

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
Rogger

Hi Roger,
This is possible. There is a thread already in this Forum on that. If i remember the script, i shall post it :). Please do search it.
Got ->
<a href="/people/juergen.hauser2/blog/2007/06/03/dynamically-populating-the-email-address-of-an-email-button-on-a-sap-interactive-form fella :)</a>. You may work on this or search for more scripts related with it.
This will work :).
Thanks and Regards,

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

How do I set the Submit button to send the information directly to a specific email address?

How do I set the Submit button to send the information directly to a specific outside email address? It isn't clear to me where or how it says that you can do this.

Is this for a web form or a PDF? If PDF, you would have to use Acrobat to edit the form and replace the submit button action with either a "Submit a form" action using a mailto type URL, or use the doc.submitForm statement to do the same.

Submit Button Works for Me but Not Client

I have created an interactive PDF form, using Adobe Acrobat 7, for my client so they can pass it to their clients. It's basically an agreement form where they have to sign and date then press the submit button to email it to my client when finished. I used the combo box tool to create the submt button: Under the Actions Tab I chose mouse up for the Select trigger, Submit a form for the Select Action, selected PDF completed form and the URL as mailto:clients email address.
I tested it on myslef and saw that it opens Windows Live, which is my main email program, and it successfully opened the email with the attached PDF ready to send. I then sent the file to my client, who uses Adobe Reader 8, and says that when she presses the submit button an error message pops up saying operation not allowed.
At this point I'm fairly stuck on what I should to to make this work. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this or why it is doing this? Thank you.

George Johnson wrote:
As mentioned by others, you can configure the form to submit just the form data, but only if it doesn't included digital signatures. You'll need to send the entire PDF if it does.
Acrobat 8 is not the latest version, so Adobe no longer sells it. Acrobat 10 (X) is the latest version. Also, why are you using a combo box instead of a button?
Mostly because I'm very new at interactive PDF's. This isn't my usual job for them, just helping them out. They gave me a link to a tutorial site for interactive PDF's and this is how they showed me to do it. So I really don't know anything about these, that's why I am here.
If a button is the way to go then I'll try it. I went a ahead and did that and sent a test to my client to see if it works better.

Have a window pop up after email submit button is clicked

Is there a way to have a pop up occur after a user has pressed the email submit button? I need to have a reminder pop up as the form is submitted. Thank you in advance!

Have you gotten an answer to this question yet?
Here's what I did:
I created a regular button with the following script on the "click event"
EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");
Then created another button (EmailSubmitButton)with the Control Type set to Submit; Submit to url should be: mailto:[email protected]; and Submit as PDF (if you want the actual form to come back to you) or XML (if you just want the data).
Then I added a script under the EmailSubmitButton's PreSave Event, which states:
app.alert("Your Form Has Been Submitted.");
I distribute my form using the Adobe 8 Wizard and it works great.
I would like to add a script that closes the form after submission. The script I found is
app.execMenuItem("Close");
This script is placed on the next line following the above app.alert message under the EmailSubmitButton. It works fine if you send the form manually via email, but Adobe has an error message when I try to distribute it.
If anyone can help me with this issue. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jen

Email submit Button issues on form

I am having an issue with attempting to generate email with a button in my form. I had created one some time ago (using Acrobat PRO 9-Live Cycle) and the button generating email to a specific person seemed to be functioning properly. I now had a person tell me that the usual person was not receiving his email. When taking a closer look (I am now using Acrobat X) at the same form, the email function worked appropriately for me and went to the appropriate person.
Now, however, when I took that same form into designer to make some additions and continue looking at the button, I wrote out a new version of the form and the very same button does not function the same way. Previously, a pop-up would appear and you could choose your normal e-mail or internet email and then, when choosing your normal method of email, a new email message would appear(which you could edit) and it would be directed to the person that was specified on your button properties SUBMIT tab as the SUBMIT TO URL.
Now when I look at my new form at the same button(generated from the original), I can't even locate a SUBMIT tab for the same exact button. What happens when I click it is a pop-up that says it is sending the form to a totally different e-mail address (that I experimented with at some time in the past. When I look at all the event scripts associated with that button, I now see a java script associated with it that refers to this other email. Even when I change this email inside the code, the button still comes up with a pop-up that announces it will be sent to the original address (which I changed in the script).
I tried to creat a brand new "email submit" button using that new object type, but it is still defaulting to that erroneous address and I am not seeing where to change it?
I know there must be some behnd the scenes goings on that I just am not familiar with.......Would this email be stored elsewhere?....have the tabs changed for buttons, but then why can I still see that property on my original form?.......is there a better approach?.......help?!!!
May or not be related.....I also added a print button and that does not function either, but no pop-up or warning there. I did not have one on this form previously.
Thanks in advance!

I discovered George Johnson's post on changing identity at EDIT->PREF->ID->EMAIL ADDRESS which answered one of my questions, but I still not sure about the other behaviours that I mentioned.

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 and Reader 7.0?

I was just wondering if the email submit button works in reader 7.0? I created the submit button so that it sends out the entire PDF form and the data instead of just the raw data, but someone tested it in reader 7.0 and it gives a "this operation is not permitted" error. I have professional 7.0, and it works great for me. So I was wondering if this was something to do with the version of adobe?

Hi Natalie,
To email the entire PDF in the free Reader, you would need to "reader extend" the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions see:
http://www.adobe.com/products/server/readerextensions/pdfs/readerextensionsserver_ds.pdf
You can however email the XML data instead (as an alternate option)and this will work in the free Reader as well as in Acrobat.

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 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 Submit Button

I need to email a PDF form to any person I want to. But when you add the Email Submit Button to the form it requires you to enter an email address. What if the email address is different every time? Is there a way to add an Email button so when the form user clicks on the Email button it brings up Microsoft Outlook and you can type in any email address that you want?

You need to have an email submit button that, when clicked, sends the email.. but you can set properties of that button and trigger it from another button. So hide EmailSubmitButton1 (or whatever it's called), create a new button, and add script like this:
// Set whatever address you like in the mailto: line
EmailSubmitButton1.resolveNode("#event.submit").setAttribute("mailto:[email protected]?subject=h i there", "target");
EmailSubmitButton1.execEvent("click");
This finds the submit button's submit node and sets it's target property to whatever you specify, and then clicks it.
