Form email submission with limited locked fields

Hello,
I've been reading through forum after forum and piece-mealing together what I need isn't working.  I'm COMPLETELY unexperienced with any kind of JavaScript changes or additions to forms in Adobe (I do not have or use LiveCycle), so I'm struggling a bit.  I have a lot of relatively complex forms, but only complex in how many different fields/types of fields.  So, what I need is this:
Form #1:
I need to create a submit button at the bottom of the form that will do two things:
Lock all editable fields
Email the locked PDF (preferably without having to be saved and then attached to an email)
Submit button should disappear
Form #2:
Different individuals need to complete different sections of the form, but there are no signature fields.  Here's the order of what I need to happen after the first person completes their sections and clicks a "submit" button:
Specific fields (not all) need to be locked
The form needs to attached to an email (without having to save and then attach)
Submit button needs to disappear
After the receivers (Persons 2 and 3) complete the final field it needs to lock and email to the final person in the chain.
(For clarity; the final field is a field that will be text, and will not be able to be completed without all the other information)
If someone could assist me with the specific script, as well as confirm what selections I need to make for the button (ie Mouse Up, Mouse Enter, etc.) and other fields that control locking, that would be tremendously helpful.  Thank you.

Check if you have any hidden fields on the form which are required..
If not, some how the disabled may not be working as expected..
If you still have issues, you can send your form to [email protected] so I can have a look at it..
Thanks

  • Email link with no address field.

    Greetings~
    I'm trying to make a button that when clicked on opens an email client with an empty address field but a filled subject and body, but have no idea where to begin.
    The idea is that I have a "Refer me to your friends!" button, so when the user clicks it, it opens an email with the subject "Sairus is awesome" and a body filled with propaganda. The address field must remain blank so they can add in the friend's address they wish to send.
    For the moment I'm working with the below, however obviously enough the address is being filled in. Hoever, despite the seemingly correct code, the subject and body are remaining empty. I'm using Flash 8, is the syntax different in my version?
    on (release) {
    getURL("mailto:[email protected]?subject=Sairus is awesome&body=The following 50 reasons explain why Sairus is awesome:");

    I've been testing it on a server all the time ( http://www.brightwork.com/~staging2/info ) to no avail. Of course now that I've made a forum post about it, the link is populating an email grand without any changes.
    However, my main problem is still there, how does one make an email with an empty "to" field?

  • Adobe Form - Locked field

    Hi All
    Could someone please tell me what are the function 'Lock Text', 'Lock Static Object' and 'Lock Field' under 'Edit' on menu selction bar - used for - (I'm new with Adobe Form) - Thanks

    Hi Liem,
    You can find answers to such questions easily in adobe designer help. I am providing below the answer to your query, Hope it will be helpful:
    Lock text:
    LiveCycle Designer lets you lock text in text objects or in the captions of objects by using the Lock Text command. When you select Lock Text, you must double-click the desired text or caption in order to edit it. This makes it not as easy to modify the text. If Lock Text is not enabled, you click in the caption or text object to start editing the text.
    Lock Text applies to all text and captions on the form design. Using Lock Text is particularly useful if you want to select and move objects but not make any changes to the text. You can single-click the object to select it, but you must double-click the caption or text in order make any changes.
    Lock Static Object:
    LiveCycle Designer lets you lock all static objects on the form design by using the Lock Static Objects command. All static objects in the form design cannot be selected, moved, or modified.
    The Lock Static Text command is useful in situations when you have finished formatting static objects in the form design and want to continue working with other types of objects.
    For example, your form includes a large number of text field objects, as well as text objects that provide instructions on filling the form. You have laid out and formatted all the static text objects and need to apply a different font to the text field objects. You can easily do this by locking the text objects and then using Edit > Select All to select all the text field objects at once and then change the font.
    When text objects are locked, the text inside them is also locked. However, if you want to continue to select and move text objects, but not make any changes to the corresponding text, you can change the behavior of the text to make it not as easy to modify.
    Lock Field:
    LiveCycle Designer lets you lock all field objects on the form design by using the Lock Fields command. All field objects in the form design cannot be selected, moved, or modified.
    The Lock Fields command is useful in situations when you have finished formatting the field objects in the form design and want to continue working with other types of objects.
    For example, your form includes a large number of text field objects and check box objects, as well as text objects that provide instructions on filling the form. You have laid out and formatted all the field objects and need to apply a different font to the text objects. You can easily do this by locking the field objects and then using Edit > Select All to select all the static text objects at once and change the font.
    When field objects are locked, their corresponding captions are also locked. However, if you want to continue to select and move fields, but not make any changes to the caption, you can change the behavior of the caption to make it not as easy to modify.

  • Dynamically assign email submission target based on form content

    We need to be able to assign the email target on a given form dynamically based on user selection out of a pre-defined set - drop-down.  Currently, you can only target the submissions to an email manually entered into the email field or have a separate form for each unique email submission target.
    We have a branch-office model company and each office interacting with a given form is going to need some things on that form to change based on which office the person filling out the form is with.
    Thanks.

    Thanks Randy.
    Say we had an Agent Sales Information Form online in our intranet/portal - embeded, and it was visable by 20 branch offices.  When a user fills out the form it needs to go to a single central office person as well as the administrative assistant and manager in the specific branch office that the user (form filler) is based out of.
    Example:
    Agent Sales Information Form
    --> user selects 'I'm with Office A' from the drop-down menu --> form needs to go to: Central Office, Admin Assistant in Office A, Manager in Office A
    --> user selects 'I'm with Office B' from the drop-down menu --> form needs to go to: Central Office, Admin Assistant in Office B, Manager in Office B
    In FormsCentral I can put an email field on the form and direct the form submission to that email address or I can share a given form with a pre-defined set of people.  What I can't do is have a single form with a drop-down menu for which branch office that user (form filler) is from and change the people the form submits to based on that choice.  Having the users manually enter the email addresses of the people the form needs to be submitted to is a deal breaker.
    While we're at it, other things on my list for an embeddable paperless forms solution:
    - user can print the form -- automatically on submission or by 'print button' on the form
    - user can download pdf copy of the form
    - user can save a form for later completion (across browser sessions)
    - upload pictures and have them display on the form (not just as attachments)
    - API functionality to allow fields to be auto-populated with data from another system (eliminating the office selection drop-down menu in this example -- our portal knows what office the logged-in user is from and can tell the form if it would listen )
    Thanks Randy.  I appreciate your taking a look at this for me. 

  • Lock form & email as PDF Javascript

    Hi Guys,
    I am using Adobe Acrobat X and creating a Forms natively. We do not use LiveCycle.
    So I have created a form with several fields, buttons a date picker - some of which I have found online.
    The forms that I will be creating will be placed on the Intranet of the Organisation that I work for.
    So what I need is for our users to fill out the form online. Press the Submit button. When they press submit the form must lock all the contents. We do not want to contents edited when it reaches its destination. The submit button will also call up the default email program, populate the TO: field with a specified email address and the Subject field with specified text.
    The form must arrive at its destination in PDF format.
    Been stuck on this one for a while. I used some simple html with the submit button for a while and that mostly worked except the part about locking the form.
    So if someone can java me up a solution i would greatly appreciate it.
    I have tried a few of the solutions a few solutions from the lifecycle partof the forum but apparently the java is different!
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    In that case you can only set the fields as read-only, not truly flatten
    them. Here you'll find a script I posted that will do that:
    http://acrobatusers.com/forum/forms-acrobat/i-need-users-fill-form-and-save-it-then-it-sho uldnt-be-anymore-editable/
    Regarding submitting the file by email and pre-populating the various
    fields, see this:

    The variabt you should use is mailDoc().

  • Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.0 - Text fields are not returning data on email submission-Help?

    Hello - I am using Livecycle Designer 7.0 and have created a form with different fields to be filled out and submitted via email back to me using the standard submit by email button.
    However, when the form is filled out and returned all the control field choices from both the checkboxes and the radio buttons are there - but nothing from the textbox fields is returned in the email submission. Those fields are not being returned.
    also - once they are returned how do I ensure they will repopulate via the import data into the form functionality?

    This forum is for the Adobe FormsCentral (formscentral.adobe.com) which is a service that allows you to create, collect and analyze data using an online web form. You should ask Designer related form questions in the Designer forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_es/livecycle_designer_es
    I'll move your post to that forum so you don't need to retype it. They can help you out...

  • I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this?

    I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time. Here's the link if you want to see what I'm talking about: 2015-2016 Workload Apportionment Review

    I'm afraid not.    It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding. 
    You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder.  Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
         <form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
    The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables. 
    I'm  assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code.  Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names.  It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

  • Converting (locking) form upon submission.

    HI All.  I have a product sample submission form for my laboratory.  The form has multiple fields that are filled out by the requestor and a Submit button that will mail a copy to a domain.  When I send the form now, it does not lock the fields and can still be edited.  I would like for it to lock the field and send what I call a "normal" .pdf, (like when you convert a .docx to a .pdf).  Is that possible in LiveCycle?  I would like for the form to not be editable once it is sent, as well as to be smaller in size. (3MB after submission currently).

    Try the LiveCycle Designer forum. This forum is about forms created in Acrobat.

  • Can no longer select text in email template or read only field with mouse using IE or Firefox?

    Hi Guys,
    I can no longer select text in email template or read only field using my mouse in IE or Firefox anymore. We are using CRM 2011 rollup 18 applied with IE 11 and the latest version of Firefox. We only applied roll up 18 in Feb when this issue began.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first) using either of these. While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
    These features rely on JavaScript, and it sounds as though you have scripting enabled if you get (the wrong) color changes. Some add-ons might alter the way scripts operate, so a standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    If those features work correctly, this points to one of your extensions or custom settings as the problem.
    To also disable plugins, you can use this page:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Any change?

  • I requested a repair, but there was an error after clicking the button with my credit card info. I was still charged, but the form email I received the next day had incorrect info about my iPod Touch problem. How can I contact CS w/o paying $19?!

    My iPod Touch battery is not working. I requested a repair through the Apple Support. On the final page, when I clicked the button that puts the info through with your credit card number, the resulting page gave an error (I wish I'd have saved it!). Anyhow, I checked my credit card and it was charged, so I assumed the repair request went through. The next day I received a form email saying my problem was with "Sync with iTunes (Not iCloud) - Data Backup/Migration (not iCloud)" instead of the battery repair. It also says for iPod customers, to send your iPod to Apple - but I had requested the "iPod Coffin" to be mailed to me so I could send it back. Obviously there was an error between the request and what was received, so I'd like to ask Customer Service about it. However, I can't find a way to contact them. When I replied to that form email, I recieved an automated reply saying emails there were not read. Anything online asks me to pay $19 and I don't have the correct issues to request an exception. The closest store is over an hour away or I'd simply go there to ask. What can I do?! Any suggestions you have are much appreciated. Thank you!
    PS - The form email also says if I wait 10 days the repair request will be canceled. Does this mean my credit card will be refunded for the $85 battery replacement charge if it is canceled automatically?

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

  • A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem.  Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    A word document was emailed to me.  I can open the document without a problem on my iPad 2.   Is there a way for me to type on the document.... to fill out the form?  When I click the fields, the virtual keyboard does not appear.

    If you want to edit a word document then you will need an app on your iPad that supports word so that you can copy them to it via 'open in' e.g. Apple's Pages app or a third-party app such as Documents To Go or QuickOffice HD

  • Best Solution for Creating an Onlne Purchase order form with multiple calculation fields

    I am a bit confused.  Our school has a Forms Central account which works great for our registration forms but I need to find a solution for creating an online purchase form with multiple calculation fields - I know that forms central does not support calculation fields (too bad) but I know that Acrobat Pro does... soooo...
    Can you create the forms in Acrobat and then somehow integrate the advanced features into forms central?  Do they talk to each other?  Is this easy to do? .... I guess another way to putting it is can you create the forms in Acrobat including all of the advanced features for payment calculation and then host it online using Forms Central to manage and collect the data? (I guess that really is my question)
    Thanks (how does this compare to a solution like Formstack?)

    Hi, thanks.
    The naming convention was the consistant up until a point when I read that you need a '.' syntax (?!) - does anyone know if this is true?
    Attached is a version with Bernd Alheit's suggestion and with all the naming of the fields being consistant. It's still not working for me though after doing this and I'm stuck as to why, because I think it should work. I've also tried writing the calcualting line of code in the same manner that Bernd Alheit suggests before I came on here, and it wouldn't work then.
    As with any coding, it must be something to which I have done, but I can't see it anywhere
    Any ideas? Thanks for helping me
    Cheers

  • I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields.  Is that possible?

    I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields.  Is that possible?

    Randy,
    We have an application that I would like to have in Formscentral.  That application is also in a larger PDF file that once filled in populates all the other forms below it (lease, credit check form, ect).  If the Application on Formscentral keep the same field names as the pdf can I pull the data from formscentral and sill populate the old application pdf so that all the forms below it will be also populated.

  • Trouble with Visible/Invisible Fields on PDF Form

    I created a fillable, calculating pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but ran into some issues, so I'm taking a stab at LiveCycle that I've never used before today.  By reviewing sample template forms, I'm able to pick up the tricks of the trade, but I'm struggling with one particular field.  I got it to calculate and the amount shows in the subtotal, but I don't know why I can't get the field itself to show the amount calculated.
    FS1 is a numeric field where a customer puts square footage.
    Based on the square footage a calculation occurs.  Here is the statement:
    topmostSubform.Page1.Total[1]::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
         Total[1] = 208.75
    elseif (FS1 > 3600) then
         Total[1] = 154.30
    elseif (FS1 > 2000) then
         Total[1] - 136.15
    elseif (FS1 > 0) then
         Total[1] = 99.85
    endif
    When I put in 5000 in the FS1 field, 154.30 is added to the subtotal, but no amount shows in Total[1] field.
    Working with properties in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was easy, LiveCycle takes a little more getting used to, so any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.
    if (FS1 > 7200) then    

    You may have just pasted your code in a funny way but I noticed your 'if' statement is underneath the rest of your message. Assuming it is in the correct place and you change "Total[1] - 136.15" to "Total[1] = 136.15" it should work. Also just to let you know that in formcalc you can use the "$" to reference the field you are in (so you could use $ instead of Total[1] in your formula).

  • Linking a select field with a text field in a DW form.....

    I did try to search for this but nothing came to my attention. Apologies if it is already in the forum.
    Is it possible to have a "select field" link with a "text field"? In other words The select field will provide different venues to choose from, in this case "Blog, Trade Show, Friend, Photo Magazine" and then after the choice is made a text field appears that allows you to provide details re. your choice. For example if you choose "Trade Show" from the select field the text field will then appear and prompt you to detail WHICH Trade Show. Something along those lines. Any assistance will, as always, be appreciated.
