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?

Alan
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 ES2 email button question

I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES2 to create an Adobe Acrobat X pdf form. The form uses a checkbox to select different options, and then the form is sent via e-mail to a specific e-mail address. I am wondering if it is possible to script the following option when sending the e-mail:
I have a dropdown list box where a person's name is selected e.g. John Smith.    Depending upon which person is selected, is it possible to include their name in the cc field of the e-mail message, so that John Smith is appended to @abc.com for an e-mail address of [email protected]
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 email button issue... :(

I have created a form with an submit button with is supposed to go to an email address. I have used this EXACT process in a prior form and had no issues. I am using a regular button and then have a script in MouseUp*. The following script will not open email to send it. I copied it directly form a previous form that did what wwe wanted it to do.
Script:
if (form1.execValidate() == true){
    if (employeename.rawValue != null || employeename.rawValue != "") {
    vSubject = "Emerging Technology Evaluation Request " + employeename.rawValue;
        vBody = "The form has been sent by " + employeename.rawValue;
       if (Date.rawValue != null || Date.rawValue != "") {
        vBody = vBody + " on " + Date.rawValue;
    var oDoc = event.target;
    oDoc.mailDoc({
        bUI: true,
        cTo: [email protected],
        cSubject: "Emerging Technology Evaluation Request " + employeename.rawValue + " " ,
        cMsg: "Attached please find Emerging Technology Evaluation Request form."
Any help would relieve this big headache. Thank you

Adobe LiveCycle Designer Form Emailing Help

I have a survey that has some drop down that users can rate on the form. I was able to get it to work where the user can click on "Submit to Email" button and sends it out as an attachment. All textboxes shown what the user has type in, but the drop down has no value. How can I configure the drop down so that it is in the form?

check the 'object' tab of the field:
In the binding tab there is an option: 'default binding' - if it set to "None" change it to "Normal"

Adobe LiveCycle Designer and send XML

Dear all,
I have developped a PDF with Adobe LiveCycle Designer that send an XML file to BW using a button Submit. But this PDF works when executed from the Adobe LiveCycle Designer software (tabpstrip PDF preview) but does not work when it is executed standalone (no logon asked.. )
Do you have some ideas to solve this problem ?
Regards,
Vince

Hi Nitesh,
I have installed ADL standalone on my pc.
When I execute my PDF from ADL it works : I click on a button and a logon screen on a SAP system is shown (like access on web report), I fill it and the XML file is sent and shown through RSA3 transaction.
But when I launch the PDF alone, I get an error message when I clik on the same button : 'HTTP 401 - Unauthorized'.
Do you have another clue ?
Regards,
Vince

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8 Beginner

I am very much new to adobe form design tools. Now my company wants me to develop an eForms system using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.
The requirements are like this
All pdf forms will be saved in the file server.
Users can enter data directly into the fields of the form.
The form can capture data the user enters, and provide interactive feedback such as when an employee enter his roll number his department should be filled automatically in the form.ie form provide dynamic data
The form should be able to process the user data directly to a database.
Can anybody give some good reference so that I can start the project?
Thanks in advance,
dev

I have a vital form that clients fill out, which is passed to many people in the company along the workflow. The form is a Planner and we have in the following PDF, Word Doc..
Well before, the Planner.pdf was originally created in Word, since most people have access to Word.. but evolved to a PDF form created from the Word Doc via Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 w/ User Rights enabled so that the form could be filled out and saved using Adobe Reader.. which was a step better than Word.. being that it is free. But this needed to be easier and more to the point b/c some clients don't particularly like installing the latest version of Reader, even if you provide them the link. Nor do they like saving the form, filling the form, and attaching the form to send back.
My goal is to have the client fill an HTML version of the form, submit and be done with it, but everyone in the workflow be able to easily receive the filled Planner as a PDF form.
So some months ago I ran into this post Chris Trip, "Populate Livecycle PDF from mySQL database using PHP" #8, 22 Sep 2007 4:37 pm
which uses the command line Win32 pdftk.exe to merge an FDF file into an existing PDF on the remote server, and serve this to whoever.
My problem was with shared hosting and having the ability to use the Win32 pdftk.exe along with PHP which is predominantly used on Linux boxes. And we used a Linux box.
so i created the following unorthodox method, which a client fills the HTML version of the Planner, all field values are INSERTED into a table in MySQL DB, I and all filled planners that have been filled by clients to date can be viewed from a repository page where an XML file is served up of the corresponding client, but someone would have to have Acrobat Professional, to import the form data from the XML file into a blank form.. altoughh this is simple for me.. I have the PHP file already created so that when a Planner is filled and client submits. >> the an email is sent to me with a table row from the repository of the client name, #, email, and a link to d-load the XML file,
But I also have the PHP files created so that the Planner can be sent to by email to various people in the workflow with certain fileds ommitted they they do not need to see, but instead of the XML file beiong served up i need the filled PDF Planner to be served.
I can do this locally with ease on a testing server, but I am currently trying to use another host that uses cross-platform compatibility so i can use PHP and the pdftk.exe to achieve this, as that is why I am having to serve up an XML file b/c we use a Linux server for our website, and cant execute the exe.
Now that I am testing the other server (cross-platform host), just to use them to do the PDF handling (and it's only $5 per month) I am having problems with getting READ, WRITE, EXECUTE permissions..
Si guess a good question to ask is can PHP do the same procedure as the pdftk.exe, and i can eleminate it.
or how in the heck can i get this data from the DB into a blank PDF form, like i have described??
here are some link to reference

How to install fonts in Adobe Livecycle Designer

Hi All,
   I want to install new fonts in adobe LiveCycle designer.
   I installed this fonts in Control Panel >Fonts>File -->Install New Fonts and it is possible to see them in Livecycle Designer but when i preview the adobe print form this not work.
I found in the installation of the ADS configuration Guide this informations.
Adobe document services require access to fonts that are installed with the Font Manager Module. This module contains a number of Adobe bundled fonts installed in /usr/sap//j2ee/os_libs/adssap/FontManagerService/fonts/adobe.
You can also add fonts obtained from other vendors. The types of fonts you can add are OpenType® (.otf), TrueType® (.ttf), and PostScript® Type 1 (.pfb/.pfm).
So the question is how can i install new fonts so as to use in Adobe Forms?
I will appreciate any help and documentations about.
Thank you,
   Ari

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form create with adobe 8.0, the message is this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

I have adobe xi pro, but i can´t edit a form created with adobe 8.0. The message is: this form can´t be edit with adobe, use adobe livecycle designer. need I to buy another program?

If the form was created using LCD then it can only be edited there. This
application used to be bundled with Acrobat Pro, but that's no longer the
case. So if you want to edit this file then you need to purchase it, yes.

ViewerPreferences (e.g. HideWindowUI) in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
When creating PDFs in Adobe Acrobat, you can set some ViewerPreferences:
* HideWindowUI
* HideMenubar
* HideToolbar true
These settings can be set via "Document Properties" => "Initial View" => "User Interface Options"
However, when creating a form using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. These options are not available!
Is there a way to change the ViewerPreferences for interactive forms?
Thanks,
Dries

This isn't a question about PDF Specifications. Please try the
LiveCycle Designer forum, thanks. Good luck,

Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7

I am currently learning how to use Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0. My employer gave me the file to install a trial version along with pdf files with tutorials explaining how to use it. I am having trouble with the tutorials that involving scripting. Though I copy the script code directly from the pdf and follow the instructions. I have a hard time getting it to work correctly.
The one that I have had the most problem with is the tutorial entitled "Providing Interactive database lookup from forms." It can found at this address: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_db_lookup_tip.pdf#search=%22%22providing%20interactive%20database%20lookup%22%22 I followed the instructions to create a new data connection from the mdb file provided. There was a script to populate a drop down box that I was able to get to work after changing the syntax a bit. However the script that is on the button to execute the query I couldn't ever get to work.
Here are the instructions copied directly from the pdf.
13. Select the Refresh object. In the Script Editor, choose the following:
Show: click
Language: FormCalc
Run At: Client
14. In the Script editing area, type the following code:
if (Len(Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue))) > 0) then
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.commandType = text
$sourceSet.DataConnection.#command.query.select.nodes.item(0).value = Concat(Select * from OfficeSupplies Where ID = , Ltrim(Rtrim(SelectField.rawValue)) ,)
//Reopen the Dataconnection
$sourceSet.DataConnection.open()
endif
Whenever I click the button I received the following error:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/7250/errorbr6.png
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Also does anyone know of where I can get good information about how to script these forms to integrate with SAP? Thank you for your help.

Hi Jason,
as you are using the Adobe stand-alone Designer and tutorials, you should direct your questions directly to Adobe (probably on their website) as the samples shipped with the stand-alone product do not necessarily work in the SAP environment.
For SAP integration, you need to install SAP NetWeaver AS(demo versions, for example, here in SDN on the download site) and use the versions of the Adobe components delivered by SAP. SAP also provides tutorials for the Interactive Forms integration in Web Dynpro.
Start looking at this topic on the SDN homepage at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/interactiveforms where you will also find many links.
You can connect to SAP using the Adobe stand-alone products, too, but given Adobe's development partnership with SAP, this approach doesn't make much sense - and it is, as I stated above, a question for Adobe, not SAP.
Kind regards,
Markus Meisl
