Emailing a PDF form w/o an email address submit button

I have created a form; but my company does not want it to go to specific email address. So I took out the submit button. What they want is for people to be able to fill in the PDF form and send it to whomever they choose via email. BUT in reader, they cannot save the PDF. What do I need to do to get this to work correctly?
Thanks!
Diana

I had the same request.
All i did was leave the email address blank. On the "Design View", it will show an error but the employee will not see this. They can then just enter an email address.

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Email-based submit button not working

I'm using a Mac. I'm taking an illustrator CS3 file saving it as a PDF opening it in PDF Pro. 8 making the form fields. I make a submit button with a mailto: and place it on my site. For macs it works flawlessly. When I hit the email submit button on a PC running Vista I get an error "this operation is not permitted". Has anyone run across this? Please help.

Dennis,<br /><br />Click on the Email button then go to the XML tab. You should see the below XML (wherever you are clicked on the form, adobe will take you to that in XML): <br /><field h="6mm" name="EmailSubmitButton1" relevant="-print" w="34.925mm" x="150.6524mm" y="5.7664mm"><br /><br /> ......<br /><br /> <submit format="xml" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=IPS Customer Submission Form" textEncoding="UTF-8"/><br /><br />Notice the <submit format='xml' change that to 'pdf', and your document will then email in a pdf format. <br /><br />Email me if you need more explation.

PDF form in Livecycle 8 -how to submit to multiple email addresses

I tried searching the forums and the Internet and have tried a zillion solutions that don't work. I am sure I am missing something simple but I am trying to "fix" a form someone else made and I know little about coding or that stuff, so go easy on me! :^)
Anyway, I have a form with a "Submit by Email" button that currently goes to one e-mail address (set in the email address field in the object palette).
I need the form to go to an additional address. I don't care if it is listed separately, done as a cc or a bcc as long as it gets there!
I tried adding a second address right in that palette box separated by a semicolon or a comma, and that didn't work.
Then I found some instructions on changing the XML stuff, so I went in and tried a few things: adding the second e-mail separated by a semicolon right after the first (that sent it to "two" addresses, but both were [email protected], not the two different ones), separating them by commas (no luck), adding &cc or &bcc and the 2nd e-mail addy after the subject area ....
I'm out of ideas!
This is what I started with:
<
submit format="pdf" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Loan Application" textEncoding="UTF-8"/>
Can anyone help me with that I need to type in to also get it to send to [email protected]?
Thanks much!

Here is what I do....I will use regular button instead of "Email submit".
Then in Click event of the button use following JavaScript...
var sub
sub = "Subject Text"
var ebody
ebody = "email text that goes on body"
event.target.submitForm({cURL
:"mailto:[email protected],[email protected]?cc=[email protected]&subject="+sub+"&body="+ebody,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
//you could replace PDF with XML will only send data instead of form.
Good Luck,

Sorry, gary. I don't know what you're talking about when you say "I read the secure page in 2010". Feel free to elaborate if you wish but do not expect a response. It's not my interest to explain to you how to do something but I do feel obligated to tell others that what you're telling them is not completely safe. Please understand that I have in fact informed you of the vulnerabilities of your insecure script for as long as we have corresponded, even after the "security" amendment to your page, which is nothing more than a copy of someone else's work of which you unfortunately did not completely understand. No surprise there though given your frequent ignorance of the subject in the messages we have exchanged. I do remember saying something about a year ago to you mentioning your discreet, sweep under the rug mentality of the importance of having a secure script. Unfortunately you have maintained your ignorance and minimal effort on completely understanding (and effectively educating others on) the subject this entire time.
If someone is asking how to build a submarine and you provide a blueprint of how to build a paper boat with a screen door don't expect someone else to tell you how to build a submarine so you can then go and tell everyone afterwards how YOU would build a submarine. However, you should expect someone to tell the OP that was asking how to build a submarine that your paper boat suggestion will not hold water.
Did you read this?
You're testing for the literal characters \r an \n. There are other ways of inserting carriage returns and new lines.
Yep, that's basically what I told you over a year ago. I know that some have been using your email script to inject mail through the headers for sometime now. No one is sending you emails through your contact form anyway since the spry validation is broken, so injection of your server script is the only way to send emails from your contact page for users who have javascript enabled anyway. Perhaps you will now realize that your suggestions may be hurting others rather than helping them, opposite of what my posts regularly achieve. I look forward to your cognitive posts from now on with eagerness and openness to actually learn the methods that others are continuously trying to educate you on so that you will not continue to misinform others as you have been doing for as long as I can remember, which is longer than a year mind you. If you want to cross your arms across your chest and shrug and grunt that nothing is wrong with your script because you tested it that's fine, but when you start telling others to use it and that it's fine that's when the_shocker says whoa dude... it's not fine. Sorry to blow your ego. Swallow your pride and learn about script vulnerabilities instead of attempting to defend your position by on the forum by saying "you never said anything when you looked at my page a year ago" because dude... that's ignorant and, for the record, I did say something to you time and time again.
best,
Shocker

Forms Central-Attach email to Submit button

In Forms Central, how do I attach a response email to the Submit button? Please advise. Thx.

When a user fills out the form and clicks "Submit" the data will be sent to the FormsCentral server and will be available for you to view/analyze in your account, on the "View Responses" tab of the form. In addition, using a Paid level subscription you can set up "Email Notifications" on the "Options" tab of the form to have a notification email sent to you which can include the forms data (responses).
This overview of FormsCentral is a good resource to learn more about our service: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1413

Dynamically copy a PDF form to a specific repository via a button

Hi,
Sorry in advance if this is a dumb issue for which there is an obvious solution, but since I'm not a developer I couldn't tell and my searches around the web haven't allowed me to solve this out.
As the web designer here, I've been asked to create a dynamic PDF that would include a form and a button that would export a copy of the completed form when clicked. The copy would need to be placed into a specific repository on a local server. I found out that is was possible to create a dynamic button in InDesign when creating a dynamic PDF form, but it seems that the native actions available for the buttons are quite simple, like switching to a page within the document or sending an email. I would need, with the help of my developer, collegue, to customise an action for a button so that it would act like mentionned here above. I thought it might involve some scripting within InDesign to customise the action. Am I right and what would be the best way to achieve this?
Thanks!

When the form I designed for some nurses is used, the information has to be copied and then pasted into a text editor program for a patient file. When I do a select all and copy, it only copies the fields, not the information entered by the nurses. Is there a way to allow all of the fields and text entered to be copied and then pasted in the editor program?

PDF form reset to blank after hitting send button

How can I make the PDF form reset back to the original after someone hits the "Send by email" button?

You can try to use the following on a 'click' event of the button.
It will reset the form after you email.
var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.mailDoc(
false,
"[email protected]", "", "",
"Subject goes here.",
"Body message goes here."
xfa.host.resetData();

Multiple Email Recipients & Submit Button

I am designing a form that will be downloaded from a web site. That form must be returned to multiple recipients.(3 different people in the department).
Is there an EASY way to do this?

Hi,
you are not in the right forum's category. You should post it in LiveCycle Designer for instance.
To answer your request, there are two ways to design it:
1) The PDF form submit the data to LiveCycle (Java service on the server-side) that sends PDF copies to the three recipients.
2) You create a "sned by email" submit button. The user that fills the form will sends the result to the three recipients.
You may also consider Adobe Acrobat Pro if you plan to design small workflows.

Cannot Change Identities / Email where Submit button emails responses to

I have created, entiriely, in LiveCycle a form. When it is distributed it AUTOMATICALLY inserts my own email to where the repsonses go to. Cannot - REPEAT CANNOT- Alter it.
THIS IS NOT THE SUBMIT BUTTON THAT YOU PUT INTO A FORM.
This is the "Submit" that is automatically generated and put into the PDF TAB when a form is distributed.
I've gone into Acrobat / LiveCycle and changed "identies" but the response STILL goes to my Email. It NEVER picks up my changed Identity - and shows my own email and not the one I want responses sent to.
Rebooted after chainging Identities - STILL goes to my email.
Edited in the Acrobat - STILL - goes to my email - SUBMIT button (automatically created when you distribute the form) ALWAYS says to send to my email.
Edit the options/properties to change - MY EMAIL IS GREYED OUT AND CANNOT ALTER IT IN THE DISTIBUTON panel where you can select options as how the form is distrubited - selecting EMAIL response to form submission.
It ALWAYS SHOWS my Active Directoy LOGON ID as the form OWNER - CANNOT CHANGE IT.
We are IN an Active Directory environemnt and my logon account has NO RIGHTS to change MASTER registry Win7 entries at all - only (like normal) my own preferences - BUT LIVE CYCLE / ADOBE DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING with email at all concerning the auto email sent to portion. I can change "sent by" but NOT who I want responses sent to.
Cannot FIND at all any XML preferences file in registry / file system to hack and manually change it.
You look at the XML data in the form and it shows my email address - AND ALL XML data is BLOCKED from being edit at all in the form - and NO idea where it is pulling this information from.
Is there ANY WAY at all to change --- WITHOUT WRITING ANY CODE - to alter where a distributed form is to send email repsonses to.
CANNOT, REPEAT CANNOT - use any cloud, online or any external source at all. Cannot use Acrobat.com.
Thanks,
Tom

The email address is coded into the server script file that processes the form data.
Look for the below file on the server and see if you can open it and locate the email address. It's a Cold Fusion file
act_email.cfm

Edit email for submit button and Javascript?

How can I change an email address attached to a submit button on a previously created form? 2) How can I see if JavaScript is being used with form? A prior team member created interactive forms with a submit button. Email address attached to button needs to be updated. I tried to edit in Acrobat Pro by double clicking the button to access the properties panel, but it doesn't open. If I recreate the form to amend the address, my file size is about 1/3 of the original which leads me to believe there is JavaScript.

Thank you. My version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X Tools- Forms edits in
LiveCycle Designer after the form has been created and saved.. There is no
other edit option as shown in the screen print below. The action wizard in
Pro doesn't seem to apply in this case. I had tried right clicking the
button in both Pro and LiveCycle previously to no avail. However, when the
form opens in LiveCycle, I just figured out that there is an object window
that allowed me to modify the email address.
However, I don't understand the file size difference or even how to find
the JS. We both used the same original word docx. His file size is 47K and
my recreated file is 19K, a big difference. I didn't compress mine. Any
thoughts on what is causing the difference? The forms are on a client's
website for external users to complete so load time is still important.
Thanks,Vickie

Created a PDF form on a PC, need save as button to work on Mac

I have created a lovely fillable PDF form for my boss as a client would like to be able to have a rather large interactive PDF document, and the deciding factor on if we get this work is whether i can get this to work so i'm hoping you lovely people will be able to help me out on this as i haven't been able to find ANY documentation on this thus far. I have created a 1 page PDF as a test subject, which has a few text boxes, some check boxes, radio buttons, a list box and a combo box which all work great. I have also added a "Save As" button to my document (so I have set the buttons actions to Execute a menu item > File > Save As...) which works just fine on my PC. But when this button is pressed on a Mac, nothing happens. (Also my PDF form didn't look quite right on the mac, some of the formatting was off, text boxes and combo boxes were a bit squashed, but i think this is a seperate issue altogether which im sure i can figure out by myself) Now i think i know why this is happening, i believe it's because the button is set to go to "File > Save As" and im guessing the command to save on a Mac is different? or points to a different file location? (I'm not very clued up about Mac's...)
So my question is this, is there any way to have a Save As button in my PDF document that will allow both PC and Mac users to save the fillable PDF form? (Oh by the way I have made sure that once i created my form I extended the features for reader to make sure that the form was savable once filled in.)
Also, i know this is a completely seperate question, but if anyone had any answers on this it would be GREAT, When creating a text field in the form and coming out of form editing, the text field is shown as a horrible pale blue colour, which i know is there so that the user can tell that there is a form field there, but this pale blue really does NOT go with the aesthetic of the document. After digging around for a bit, i found out that the pale blue is a highlight colour which can be set in your preferences in reader or acrobat. Is there anyway that i could change this highlight colour for the document so that whomever opens the document on their PC / Mac doesn't have to see that horrible pale blue? Without them manually having to change their preferences in reader?
Thanks in advance for all of your help,
Danny.

Double-check that the file is opened in Adobe Reader on the Mac and not in
Preview, which is known to have various problems with it comes to forms.
Regarding the highlight color: You can't either change it, or disable it
completely.
app.runtimeHighlight is a boolean that determines whether the form fields
are highlighted, and app.runtimeHighlightColor is a color object that
determines which color is used. Notice that these are system-wide
preferences, so if you change them it will affect other documents as well.

Adobe form with Webdynpro - Form is hanging on click of Submit button

Hello Experts,
My View has an adobe form that has many dropdowns and input fields. There are some fields which get automatically populated based on entries made by the users. There are several internal tables getting populated in the WDDOINIT method. I have a 'Submit Button' which when clicked should close the browser, retrieve data in the Context and do processing in SAP.
When I click on the submit button, I get a 'Wait' symbol (the circle symbol) for a very long time and then the Connection time out error comes up.
I commented the population of some internal tables in the 'Init' method. when I tested by clicking this button, it worked. The browser got closed and processing in SAP was done too.
I am working with a fairly large data. 2-3 of the internal tables (that I commented) have 2000-3000 records. Is there is restriction on how much data the WDN can handle? I am stuck now because even though all codes are correct, the wdn is not able to handle the data.
Any suggestions ?
appreciate all your help! Regards, Liz

This issue is resolved. This was due to loading a large data set to the form.

Form Alignment issue in table: Custom submit button

Yesterday as I was putting together a "check availability"
form within a horizontal table, I ran into difficulties getting the
form to vertically align in the middle, it kept aligning to the
top. I was able to correct the problem using the following CSS:
<style>
form {
display:inline;
</style>
Now this morning I was switching the generic "submit" button
with a custom gif button using this code within the form:
<input type="image" name="submit" src="image.jpg"
width="110" height="20">
This worked fine, but every part of the form is aligning to
the middle correctly except the custom button which is sticking to
the top. I'm completely lost on how to resolve this issue. If
anyone has any information on how I can fix the button to align
with the rest of the form I would greatly appreciate your help. I
am a beginner at adjusting code.
Thank you so very much!

Hello Ram,
> No custom coding.
The current forum is for developers. That's why I'd recommend asking non-programming questions in the
Using SharePoint Designer, InfoPath and Other Customizations forum instead.
