Emailing Form in PDF format instead on xml? -need help!-

I have a webpage that has a link that directs customers to a pdf form I created with Adobe Designer 7.0 and when the customer is done filling out their information in the form and click's the submit email button. It comes to my inbox in an .xml! is there a way I can have it to where the file comes as a .pdf or can I jus convert the .xml into a word .doc or .pdf?
-Thank You SOoo Much!-

Hi Rochelle,
The forums are here to help all those in need, but Daniel has a point - this specific question has been posed countless times, and a search would have revealed that. None the less, I hope you find this helpful:
In your form, do as follows:
Add a button (not the email submit button, just the "button").
Set the Control type to 'Submit' (under your Object tab).
On the Submit tab (under your Object tab), add "mailto:[email protected]" in the Submit to URL box.
Change the 'Submit As' drop down to 'PDF' (your other options are XML, XDP and FDF).
Save the form.

  • 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 --<br />I was finally able to resolve my issue.  Here's my notes.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Email buttons<br /><br />Form data is sent in XML format by default.  To change format to PDF, you must edit the XML Source.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Start looking down the code from here until you find a line that reads: <submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target = "blah blah blah...<br /><br />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. <br /><br /> <br /><br />Now, open form in Acrobat Professional. Select the 'Advanced' menu option. Select the 'Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader', and save the file. <br /><br />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. <br /><br />Jenny Fain<br />Windows Administrator<br />City of Roswell IT

  • Sending form as pdf attachment instead of xml

    I have created a form for the web where clients may fill it out and submit it to an email address. I had hoped this would be a pdf file, but it is coming as an xml file. How do i change it to pdf? Thanks in advance.
    Bob

    Change the button to a regular button. Choose the submit option on the Object Palette. This will turn it into a submit button. A new submit tab will appear. Click on th esubmit tab and choose the submit type of PDF. Now you need to enter a URL for the form to do its submission. Use the mailto: protocol to set the recievers information. If you do a google search for mailto you will see a complete listing of how you can control all aspects of the email message.

    regards
    pranay

    hi,
    smart form to pdf--
    All you have to do is call your SF to get OTF and then concert it to PDF. Works like charm:
    DATA: p_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,
    p_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop.
    p_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
    p_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
    CALL FUNCTION v_func_name "call your smartform
    EXPORTING
    output_options = p_output_options
    control_parameters = p_control_parameters
    IMPORTING
    job_output_info = s_job_output_info.
    call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
    tables
    otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata
    lines = t_pdf
    and if u need more u can check below links also

  • User being able to download filled out form in pdf format

    Hello,
    I'm testing the formscentral application and was wondering if the users are able to obtain a copy of the filled out form in pdf format versus just plain text in the email?
    Thanks

    No, respondents can only get the email with text responses. There is no way for them to get a PDF copy of what they filled out.

  • 1099 Form in pdf format

    All,
    We have a requirement to have 1099 form in pdf format to send the form via email to the vendors as well as we should be able to print to mail to the vendors.  I believe this will be part of form design and send an email as attachment would be a batch job to kick off. Would this be correct?
    Regards,
    Sri

    Hi,
    You would maybe need one program.  Process would be; standard form output spool is saved by user; then a periodic program execution can be scheduled which picks up these specific spools converts to PDF and mails them to the vendor. This program can also be triggered immediatly after execution of the earlier output or it could even be user initiated.
    Cheers

  • Is it possible to generate oracle forms in pdf format

    I have to generate a form in pdf format. Is it possible.
    If yes, how to achieve this.
    Thank you very much.
    Navya.

    One round about way to get a pdf screen shot is tick 'print to file' and use a printer which is set up with a postcript driver. This gives a postscript file which can be converted to pdf using 'ghostscript and gsview' (available free from gnu via various sites).

  • Display W2 form in PDF format in ESS

    I am trying to develop a WebDynpro ABAP application to display W2 Form in the Portal 7.0 ESS. I have designed a view with an Adobe Form element to hold the W2 form, and looking for any ideas about getting W2 form in PDF format from the ECC 6.0 system by providing parameters like EE number, Tax Company, and year.
    I know that the tcode PU19 can be used for getting W2 in PDF format, but it involves too many steps to generate and view the W2 in PDF format. I am not sure what kind of coding (e.g. classes, methods, logic to retrieve W2) will I need to do in the Web Dynpro application to retrieve W2 in PDF format from the ECC system.
    I will appreciate and reward any useful answers or pointers.
    Thanks,
    Saurabh

    Saurabh,
    Have you found a way to produce the W2s without using tcode PU19.  I am looking at doing W2s in ESS for our company and am interested in anything you have done on this.
    Thanks,
    Robert

  • Currently use acrobat 6.  getting box that states: can't find adobe pdf resource files... need help

    Getting a box that states: can't find
    adobe pdf resource files... need help!!!

    I get a similar error, but only under the following conditions:  I must be printing to the Adobe PDF printer and printing multiple pages, one at a time, and then it only happens on the second and subsequent print attempts.  That is to say, the first page prints just fine and this just started yesterday afternoon. The specific file referenced in the error does not exist, but why would it work the first time and not the second?  Since it only started yesterday, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling this morning, but it made no difference.  I don't see anything under print properties like job-options and it is a single user, unshared printer.  Thoughts?  I understand the same thing is happening in at least one other of our locations, but no one there has looked into it yet.  This is a BIG problem for me, however, and I need to find an answer quickly.

  • 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

  • Submit by Email as PDF attachment instead of XML

    We created a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and added a "Submit by Email" button. When the user selects the button, an email message starts but the attachment is an XML extension. How can we change that so when the button is selected, the attachment comes as the completed form in PDF?
    Thanks,
    Tim

    If you want people to be able to submit the entire PDF instead of just the data then you will need to "Reader Extend" the form using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES. If the volume and number of users is low (please read the EULA for complete details) then you may also extend the form using Acrobat.
