Email submit in PDF not XML

Hi,
I need to create a PDF fillable form that will send a filled pdf
version to an email on submit.
The ones we have tried so far send an xml version of the form instead
of the filled pdf version.
Also, is it possible to leave the email recipient empty to allow the
form to be sent to different people each time it's filled?
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES8.2.
Thank you in advance,

Hi
no need for response on this I worked it out from previous discussions - thanks.
Can anyone help with how I secure the data in a completed form that is submitted by email. I've looked at data signatures but can't see how this will work when the form is accessible to the general public.
Thanks in advance

Using event.target.submitForm to submit a PDF and XML attachment in a single email.

I have a button on a PDF form which emails a PDF and XML attachment of the current form in two seperate emails. The code is as follows:
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:" + "[email protected]" +"?subject="+"Request for action " + "&body=Please find attached..." ,cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:" + "[email protected]" +"?subject="+"Request for action " + "&body=Please find attached..." ,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
This results in 2 seperate emails, when all I need is a single email with two attachments. Is there a way to do this?

As far as I know you can only attach one attachment at once.

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?

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 pdf file

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, Adobe Reader X, and LiveCycle Designer.
I have a pdf file that I would like to be sent back to me in pdf format when the submit button is clicked. I created the button in LiveCycle Designer, and Extended features to adobe Reader. I am able to have a outloook message pop up with the PDF attached when using the Adobe Acrobate Pro, but not the Adobe Reader. Also, I had to change settings to allow all websites in Trust Manager under the Preferences before the outlook message would open up. Can anyone help me get the submit button to work in Adobe Reader?

Here's how mine works, I put in the submit button, and in the submit dialogue tab I type in "mailto:" in the URL address and select the "pdf" from the drop down menu under "submit as". Then save it as either a static or dynamic pdf, Reader enable it and open it in Adobe Reader. Now when you click your submit button, an email should open up ready to be addressed where ever you want to mail it, with your pdf as an attachement.
I hope this helps.

Changing xml in LiveCycle to enable pdf email submit

I've read quite a a bit about my question. Which is: can I change the xml code in LiveCycle of an interactive pdf to make it work when displayed in a browser? I've read
Form submit / eMail demystified, but quite honestly I cannot quite grasp it. I did find people asking the question in another forum and someone posted the following: "
What I finaly did:
Found the line:
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:"/>
changed it to:
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:"/>
resaved document, and it worked."
This post was a few years old however. I tried it and my code looks like this:
<submit textEncoding="UTF-16" xdpContent="pdf datasets xfdf" format="pdf" target="mailto:
I'm assuming because it's a newer version of Acrobat.
Can anyone tell me what I would need to change my code to in order for the email submit button to work, or if it indeed will require me to find someone to script something for me.
Thanks,
Scott

If I understand your problem correctly you want to submit a document by email as a PDF vice XML. If this is correct all you have to do is open the Object Library (Shift F7), select the Submit tab and change the Submit dropdown option from XML to PDF.
I hope this helps.

Email form as pdf (with data)

I'm new to using LiveCycle and Adobe Forms- so I know this question is redundant. I have read several threads regarding this same issue I'm having, but don't see any follow-up responses that provide solid solutions.
I have created a fillable form using LiveCycle Designer 8.0. I need to be able to allow users to submit the filled out form as pdf via email (using Outlook-all users uave Outlook on their stations). I've adjusted the button properties (using button, not email submit button), adjusted the xml code (to submit as pdf instead of xml), etc. I may have done too much or adjusted things so that they negate each other. I am able to get the process to work fine using Acrobat 8.0 Pro, but the button does nothing when using Adobe Reader XI.
Users will be using the Adobe Reader XI when filling out & emailing the form.
All responses are greatly appreciated! As usual..there's a time crunch with this project.

Looks like you need to Reader Extend the form. Acrobat Pro has the capability to perform the functions you are after automatically. If you want Reader to have the same capability, then you need to use PRO to 'Reader Extend' the PDF.
If you have a LiveCycle server, that can be used as well - providing you have a server certificate.
Please read the limitations in Pro for using it to extend documents - as per the EULA.

Email Form in PDF format

I've created a form in LC Designer 8.05. I want users to be able to fill out my form and send the data back as a pdf. I've looked over the forum and tried using the an Email Submit Button and editing the XML Source, but then my button doesn't work. I also tried using a regular Button and a Submit control using the mailto: protocol but that's not working either. It only works when I use the Email Submit Button and an XML attachment. Anyone know why these two solutions are working for me? Thanks.

Hi Cat -- I was finally able to resolve my issue. Here's my notes. Email buttons Form data is sent in XML format by default. To change format to PDF, you must edit the XML Source. If you do not see the xml source tab, right click on the 'Design View' tab and select 'XML Source'. The tab should appear.Select the 'Design View' tab, and within the document, select the 'Submit Email' button. Now select the 'XML Source' tab. You should see the line for your email button control highlighted. Start looking down the code from here until you find a line that reads: <submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target = "blah blah blah... Change the format from "xml" to "pdf", save the document and test it. It should now send the form as a PDF rather than xml. Now, open form in Acrobat Professional. Select the 'Advanced' menu option. Select the 'Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader', and save the file. Open your file and test again. If you are running the form in Reader, and do not go through this process, you do not have save rights to the form in Reader. This allows the form to be saved, and ultimately, sent as an email.

Email Submit and Data format

I have been reviewing the following document and have 1 question.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_understanding_submit_tip.pdf
Is there a way to customize the data format using a submit button?
I may have the requirement to have end users submit data through an email submit button, but the client wants the data in the format Fieldname [delimiter of some sort] Fieldvalue, is this possible? Would you need to manually edit the xml in the form to do this? Any pointers would be appreciated.
The only options I see in the attributes of the email submit button are:
XDP
XML
PDF
URL encoded data
Thank you,

Hi Paul:
Currently we are using Acroforms and would use these forms originally.
In the future, this would be used with LiveCycle so it would probably be an XFA/LiveCycle Designer form. I believe in this case, the best solution would be to do this through a submit using Form Server components of LCES.
Thank you,

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.

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

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,

Submit button to create PDF and XML attachment in a single email message

All,
We have to submit both an XML file and a PDF file in a single email as the user expects both formats. They do not want to extract the XML from the PDF file. (The PDF file contains some information that is not in the XML but is used for documentation purposes.) We are using Livecycle Designer 8.
I currently have Javascript code in a button to attach an XML file but would also like to attach a PDF version in the same email:
event.target.submitForm({cURL
:"mailto:" + vSubmitTo +"?subject="+LEASEIMPORT.ValidationCheck.Subform55.EmailSubject.rawValue+"&body=Please find the 2 files file to be imported ",cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
Thanks in advance
Lester

Bill, thanks for replying. I thought I should explain our scenario:
We have designed a PDF form for data input. This form is distributed as a "stand-alone" PDF - not residing on a server. The user fills in the form which produces a legal document. The user then hits a submit button which produces an XML document which is emailed to a person in the organisation who uses the XML for import into another application. However they also require the PDF document to be emailed as this contains supplementary information which is not contained in the XML file. (i.e. some fields are not exported with the XML file).

How do i set the email submit button so that the document is sent back to me in PDF and XML?

I am currently working with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if its possible to set the e-mail submit button to send both a PDF and XML file when my document is completed by our suppliers.
I'm using the XML file to upload the information to Sage via an access database and I need the PDF to send to other departments within our organisation.
Any help anyone can offer would be great!!!
Thanks
