Form submitted via Email

Hi,
I am using a MS SQL database and ASP. I have a client that
wants to send out an email to potential auction donors and have the
form to donate an auction item right in the email (so not a link,
but the actual form) and then they want the donors to fill out the
form and have it get submitted to the database as well as email
them confirmation. I can do this all from the web site, but I have
no idea how to do it from an actual email.
Can this be done? And if so, how??
Thanks in advance!
Julie

You will probably find, due to nature of various email
clients, that this is
not viable. Best to provide a link to a web page.

PDF form online but when submitted via email, received as XML

I'm trying to include a pdf form, created in Designer, on my website where guests can fill out the form and then hit the submit button and the form is emailed to me. Currently, I am linking to the form like it is another web page.
When the form is emailed to me, it is in the XML format. Once the file is opened, it gives me instructions on how to view it. It says to open the original pdf form and somehow place the xml data into it. Isn't there an easier way?
I would like to receive the "filled out" form as a pdf via email so I can just open it up with reader and print it. Others, that are more technically challenged will be receiving the "filled out" form also. The easier the better. thanks in advance

A PDF that has been Reader Extended activates latent Adobe Reader functionality such as save filled in forms, annotate, sign, and submit interactive Adobe PDF documents. For more info see

Document Signatures and Submiting via email

Hi,
My issue involves submitting an email and populating a document signature.
Using javascript I've set the preSubmit field to have the following line of code:
Page1.SignatureField1.validate.nullTest = "error";
I've enabled in Acrobat Professional 8, Enable Usage Rights.
While testing the form, when I select Submit by Email I get the error saying that "At least one required field was empty on export. Please fill in the required fields (highlighted) before continuing."
All well and good as this is what I want to occur.
The problem is once I sign the the document (which is the field that I've set to be validated in the above code), then click submit via email again I still get the above error message.
I tested this with the other objects such as text fields etc, they all work fine. The problem only occurs while trying to use a document signature field.
What am I doing wrong?

You need to remember the password, Adobe software does not offer any back door or password recovery for the creator.
It is recommended that, when setting certain things for a PDF, you keep the "before" file carefully as well as the "after". These things include security, reader extensions and signatures - all things that can be impossible to undo.

Form sent via email

Can anyone help me with sending a form via email to an email recipient? Much appreciated.

Are you using Dreamweaver? If so you have a few options. It sounds like you may not be a coder? Do you know what type of server side coding you need to use PHP or ASP are the most common.

Rename or change PDF attachment when submitting via email

Hi everybody,
I have successfully created a form using LC 8.2.1 and I am able to submit it by email.
My only problem is that I want to change or rename the attached PDF file before submitting it as it gets named automatically by the program. And I don't want it to be renamed automatically.
Is there a way to do this?
I have managed to customize the email subject and the body, but I'm failing to get the attached file renamed. I use the following code to customize both the email subject and the body:
Button1.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Testing Form 2";
Thank you very much

Skydiver119 makes a very good point. The built in PDF reader and the iBooks app will not read fillable form fields in a PDF, so you need a third party app for those types of PDF files. I use Adobe Reader for PDf files. It is free, it allows for annotation, you can create folders, highlighting, form fields, adding a signature, renaming, etc. It's a great app and certainly worth a look.

Designer Forms submitted via a website

I have developed a number of forms in Adobe Designer (LiveCycle 7.0) with a view to putting them on my website for users to fill out and return by email. However when I tested the first of the forms (i.e. I uploaded it on to my website and filled it out and submitted it) I noticed that the form was (somehow) saved on the web as I left it i.e. all the fields filled out. All I did was close the window after filling out the fields and submitting. That means that when another user opens it to fill out, they will see the information left by the previous user. What have I done wrong and how do I rectify this problem? HELP!!

It's caching the data on your hard drive. You can turn that off by unchecking Edit->Preferences->Forms->Keep forms data temporarily on disk. You can also look at the Document.nocache property in the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference.

Send form data via email after posting to MySQL database

I have created a form in DreamweaverMX 2004 and then tied it to mySQL database so that on submit the data posts to the database.
This works fine. It also goes to a "success" page just fine. I then added in some php code to also email a few of the fields from the form to a specific email address. This functions correctly using this code below (the email does go - the "from" email address has my login for MySQL database) EXCEPT that the data from the fields does not come through. The field labels are there as indicated below and the email is formatted correctly, but the data doesn't come through.
mail( $to = "[email protected]", $subject = "Someone has submitted an application",
$content= "Essay 1: ".$Essay1."\r\n"
."Essay 2: ".$Essay2."\r\n"
."Essay 3: ".$Essay3."\r\n"
."Essay 4: ".$Essay4."\r\n"
."Essay 5: ".$Essay5."\r\n");
What am I doing wrong?
That's problem #1 - then problem #2 is that I actually also need to send the ID code in this email for the specific record which has been created in my database so the end recipient can associate the email with that specific ID later for other purposes. So even if I figure out problem #1, I'm not sure that I can use this code for problem #2 because the field isn't on the html form, but actually created by the database upon submission.
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Thanks

Form2email - cgi2email question (client side only forms sent via email?)

I am being asked to design a standard questionnaire form.
They want
the answers to the form be emailed.
However, they host their own pages on a microsoft-based
server that
has no perl library, VB library, etc.
Is there a way to do a form and generate an email totally on
the
client side with no server based application needed
whatsoever?
Thanks,
-Dan

You can create a simple mailto: link on the form that will
invoke the client
mail program but it is not that reliable. However if they are
hosting using
IIS it does have built in mail capability via CDO using an
ASP page, or it
can be set up to run ASP.Net with its mail handling scripts.

Acrobat 9 Form works via email but not uploaded to website

Hi all. I need to be able to have people go to a url, fill out a form and then e-mail it to the company. The e-mailing part works perfectly if I e-mail the form to myself but when it's uploaded to the company's website nothing happens. Is it possible to have it filled out on the website and e-mailed or do I have tobuild a conventional online form to do this? The company already has an attractive form which we'd prefer to use but I'm thinking I need to build a regular html form instead. Could someone please confirm or (hopefully) deny this conclusion? If it IS possible to make the pdf work on a website I'd appreciate any and all clues as to how to do so. Thanks!

If the people are filling out the forms with Reader, unless you set up form in Acrobat to Confer Rights on Reader they won't be able to do wnything with the form and print it. It can't be saved nor can it be meailed and be filled out.
Follow these steps:
Open Acrobat
Open form
Go to advanced menu
Choose extend Features in Reader (as described in Acobat 9.x for Mac).
Once menu choice is open choose what you want to allow.
Make sure you form is perfect because once you confer rights your no longer allowed to edit the form.
you will have go back and may an unrights protected copy; before you can edit the form .

Feedback form - send via email ?

Hi, we've been using Captivate v1.0 for our e-learning. After
downloading the trial of V3, we though we might use it to create
branching online presentations. All works well apart from is it
possible to have a slide, where the user would put in his/her
contact details, and that is then emailed to a specific (non
changing) address at the end of the presentation.
I tried to do it with questions slides, but they just email
me points, not what was actually entered by the user into the short
text questions fields.
Any guesses, or should I be using a different Adobe product
for this ?

Mat,
Sorry, I only have Captivate 2 so I'm flying blind here,
but...
If you're only seeing core results, maybe you need to select
the "Report interactions and the score" option in the Quiz Manager
(or whatever the Cap3 equivalent is)? I wasn't aware that SCORM
passed actual user input but if anything would control that
ability, I would think it would be that setting.
For what it's worth, I use Outlook 2003 on my work machine
and when I use the e-mail reporting option, I don't get prompted to
send an e-mail either.
You should know that the e-mail reporting option is extremely
problematic and really only usable for tightly-controlled
environments. For example, a corporate intranet where you know that
each machine is configured exactly the same.
For your reporting to work, you're at the mercy of each
user's individual machine settings to have an e-mail client
installed and configured correctly. For instance, my mom wouldn't
be able to take your materials since she accesses her free Yahoo
mail account through a browser, meaning we never specified a mail
client in Windows. Every time she clicks a mailto: link, Windows
prompts her to set up a new e-mail account in Outlook Express, at
which point she calls me...

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

Sending Offline Interactive Form Via Email

Hi,
I am running NW 2004s SPS09 and trying to configure GP to use offline adobe interactive forms. As of now, I am able to create a callable object from an Adobe template, prefill fields from other background execution/web service callable objects, and launch a process when the form is submitted via email. I am having trouble routing the form to the next processor through email. I created an interactive form callable object, checked 'Enable Use In Guided Procedures' and selected 'Create Offline Interactive Form And Send By E-Mail'. My first thought was that there was some delay in the sending of emails, but callable objects in other processes that send plain text notifications work fine. The process does not enter an erroneous state and waits at that action. Looking at the GP monitor under NW administration, the correct processor is set for the action, but the task does not appear in the user's UWL or GP runtime center (I figure this is because the task is meant to be completed offline). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
~Greg

Turned out the 'switchToNewMailCommunication' property for the GP service was set to true when it should have been false.

How to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?

Is there a way to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?
Ex. I've created multiple forms in Dreamweaver. They are submitted to my email address without problem.
When I receive them, the default subject line in my email is "Form posted from Microsoft Internet Explorer"
I want each of my forms to have their own subject line.
Thanks

Hi
In your form to mail script insert the following just above the actual function to send the mail -
$optional_subject = $_POST['form_subject'];
and $optional_subject in your mail function just before the body info of your email.
Insert an hidden field in your form with the id "form_subject" and the value you wish.

Submitting Forms via Email

I have created an order form in LiveCycle that i wish to post on my website. I want my customers to be able to open the form directly from the site, fill it in, click submit, and for their form to be emailed directly back to me. I have tried a couple of different forms, however, when the customers click the submit button, nothing is ever sent, it will only ever try to save the document elsewhere, and this is not practical for my customers. I am convinced that i have set the form up correctly, and distributed it correctly in Adobe Acrobat, but it still does not work.
Any help would be highly appreciated!!

Unfortunately, I think that the only data structure you can get with Designer is XML. If you recast the form in Acrobat (form tools are under the TOOLS menu, not the FORMS menu (this one takes you to Designer), you should be able to select HTML as an output data format. The only reason that would be important is if you collected the data in cgimail or formmail. An example of HTML for a web form is given at "http://www.computing.vt.edu/internet_and_web/web_publishing/webmasters_toolkit/web_form_ma iler/quickstart.html". Yes, this is HTML, but you can do the same thing by including the hidden fields in a PDF form and submitting to the formmail server. You can not use this one as it only works for folks at VT, but it provides an example. You can check with your ISP provider to see if there is such a form service available to you.
As sample form return from a HTML submit is as follows (from a different server than the VT.EDU one above):

If this suffices, then submitting your form as HTML data with the hidden fields will do the job.
If that is not adequate, then at least just submit the data to you by e-mail (that will do for 80-90% of the time) while you work out how to submit to a web server. The XML or FDF files can be imported to the form file, giving you the same result as if the full form had been sent (and no extended rights are needed). With a little programming skill, or with the form, you can insert the data from the form to a database file (sorry, I have not done it, just know you can).
I suggest you try to work things out in steps until you reach the final solution needed. Bill
