Form to Email

Reading the PDF from BC about Pricing and I want some clarification. There was a footnote that the webBasic and webBasic+ web forms are "Form to Email"
What exactly is the difference between the web forms in the basic plan and the higher plan?

For those plans the form you create just emails the information in a basic html email (can not apply a template to it) and the information is not stored in the CRM as full custom web form does Lynda.
AS its name it just emails the contents of the form.
Make sense?

How can recipients submit a distributed form via email to any email address they want?

First, a little background to describe our situation:
I have a standard Acrobat form here that I need about 20 of my salespeople to use to send to their new prospective customers, have the customers fill it out, and return the completed form to their respective salesperson.
I don't want to allow my salespeople or their customers to be able to save local copies of the form because it will include personal information about the customer. If customers were to save their completed forms and email them to our salespeople, I worry that the salespeople will accidentally send out one of those completed forms to a new customer thinking that it is a clean/unfilled version of the form (and not realizing that it includes sensitive information about another customer!)
Thus, I need a way for our customers to fill and return the forms without being able to save them locally as their own versions and then sending those new versions to our salespeople.
I believe that means that I should use the "distributed forms" method and ask the customers to "submit" the forms directly rather than save/email them on their own.
I'd like to have a single form up on our website, and our salespeople will just send out the link to that form so that customers can fill out their data and submit it. If our salespeople get into the habit of just sending out the link, and they get an email with the completed form after a customer completes it, then they'll never email around actual PDF copies of the form, so they'll avoid the risk of accidentally sending out a customer's completed form that has all their personal info on it.
Here's the problem though:
Using the "distributed form" method, whenever a form is submitted by a prospective customer, it seems that it can only be submitted/sent to the email address on the Adobe account that originally created the form (which is me), but I need the completed form to be sent directly to the salesperson who covers that customer (not me).
So, is there some way to get around this issue?
Can I create a form field that allows the customer to type in the salesperson's email address so that the completed PDF of the form is sent to that salesperson when they submit it (rather than all of them being sent to me)?This would be ideal because it would still be a distributed form that allows people to submit their forms directly to their salespersons without having to save local versions of the form w/ all their personal info and then emailing to the salesperson.
If this can't work, is there some way to make sure that when a customer fills out a form that they are required to save it as a new version under a new file name (like "NormalFileName_CustomerLastName")?If the file name is always different than the original, clean copy of the form, then it would make it less likely that my salespeople would send out the wrong version.
I know this issue must come up with people all the time! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You would have to first change the email address that Acrobat uses (Edit > Preferences > Identity > Email Address) and then redistribute the form in Acrobat and send it to your users.

Change filename prompted when submit form by email

My form has a submit by email button for users to submit the filled form through email(attached as pdf). Upon clicking the submit button, I want the pdf attachment to be in a customized filename (eg:YYYYMMDD_form1_txtfield1.pdf), or the least if user choose to submit using external webmail and prompted to first save the file, the filename(on the Save As dialog) will automatically be set to the customized filename.
Is this possible? or Is there any other alternatives? I had went through a number of forums/articles on this but I did not find the solution.
Thanks loads.

The send pdf in an email will save the fiel as is in a temp folder with the name of the PDF that already exists. If you want to change that name you will have to do a file save operation. For security reasons you cannot automate the file save without the user's knowledge (they have to click OK). I do not know of a way to seed the SaveAs dialog with the filename that you want.

Adobe form Through Email

Hello Gurus,
My requirement is to send the Adobe form via Email as attachment.
Am using FM "FP_JOB_OPEN", Generated Adobe Form FM and FP_JOB_CLOSE.
Here, am getting PDF format in "FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF".
As "FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF" is in format of xstring, We need to convert it to Binary and for this am using FM "SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY".
Code:
data: li_att_content_hex type standard table of x.
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
BUFFER = FPFORMOUTPUT-pdf
TABLES
BINARY_TAB = li_att_content_hex.
Later, am using the FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" to send a mail.
As a result am getting the mail with attachment as PDF but when I try to open the attachment it gives me an error as "It wasn't correctly decoded".
Please, Let me know about this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Usha

Send PDF form to email address user enters in textfield on form.

I would like to be able to allow the person using the form to choose what email address the PDF form is emailed to. I read this post which sounds like what I want but I keep getting a Submit Cancelled error. The email does get generated and the form is attached as a PDF so that part works okay.

Acrobat Pro 7.0 form creation, email responses are blank

I created a fill in form for email submission in Adobe Designer 7.0. Some of the responses are coming back blank and some are coming back with the data. What is the difference and how can I quickly correct this?
Wendy Sheasley

You should really ask in the Designer forum since that is the product you used to create the form (even if you did not realize it). In that sense I agree with Michael. However, just have the folks send back the form data, not the entire form. This saves a lot on the size of the e-mail and also means you have no limits since it does not have to be saved in the PDF. The data can then be imported into the FORM.
It is typical for folks to start by trying to submit by e-mail. That is dangerous since it depends on the client machine over which you typically have no control. If possible, it is always best to try to submit to a web script.

Submit a form through email multiple times

I have a form, where a number of people can digitally sign the form and email it to the next person. Designed in LiveCycle and reader extended.
On the first sign and email, everything works great. However when the next person gets the form signs it and tries to email it, the body and subject is replaced by:
The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details.

Hi,
For sending smartform output into mail you first have to generate spool request and convert it into PDF and then
only it can be sended into mail, please find the sample code in the mail below:

Can this be done? Emailing a completed form without emailing.

When using a standard html form, a user can fill in the required fields, press post, and abracadabra, the results of the form are emailed to the specified account and the user is redirected to a page that says your form has been submitted.
Can this be done using a .pdf? The email button is simply retarded. Why do users have to go through the hassle of having their email client opened just to submit the form they just completed? There probably isn't any other way, but would be nice if there was.
Is it possible to create a submit button that will automatically email the completed .pdf form to a pre-specified email address and then redirect the user to a "thank you" page? I don't want to annoy my customers by forcing them to email me the form. I just want it sent when they click "submit."
Is this even possible? If so, is it relatively easy?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

>Can this be done using a .pdf?
Sure. The principle is exactly the same: you submit data to a script
which runs on a web server. You are limited only by what the
programmer has made the script do. Don't be under any impression that
it is "magic": if you have a web form which submits and then you get
an e-mail it's because there is a script on a web server that a web
programmer wrote to make it happen.
> The email button is simply retarded.
I prefer to think of it as a handy tool for testing, but nothing
anyone would use for the real solution.
>Why do users have to go through the hassle of having their email client ...
They don't. Did you know that you can "submit" an HTML form to e-mail?
But nobody does, because it just isn't a good way of working. Everyone
expects an HTML form to submit to a web script, but for some reason
hopes they can use direct e-mail of PDF forms.

Read PDF form from email attachment

Hope someone is able to help on this one...
We are using a pdf form at work to gather some feedback and the user will be submitting the form via email...
Using outlook 2003 I had a crack at writing a vba module to read the pdf form from the email attachment to update into an excel spreadsheet
Is it possible to read pdf forms from the email attachment with outlook vba? Or does the attachment need to be saved to a directory first?
I have in the past done a vba module to save the pdf form attachments to a directory and then using acrobat and it's in-built form data collection tool and exported as a csv, but this feedback form will be an ongoing thing that will be updated daily - and to minimise handling would like to run the outllook macro that reads straight from the email attachment instead of doing another 3 or so steps...

Submit PDF form via email = Operation is not permited!

Hi there,
I just downloaded a trial version of Acrobat 9.0 to see if we can make a bunch of our forms more user friendly and possibly interacive.
I have created a form, and now I'd like to enable the user to submit the entire form by email to one of our email accounts by clicking a Submit button.
I followed the required steps religously and defined the "Submit a form" action, triggered by "Mouse Up" and included the required mailto:[email protected] link.
However, when I open the form in either Acrobat Pro 9 or Reader 9, the text on the button is not there and when I click on the button it either pulls up an email that looks the way it's supposed to, but the "email was not sent". If I try the same thing on my MAC, clicking on the button generates "Operation not permitted" message.
Where did I go wrong?
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated as this feature or ability is pretty much crucial to our decision to purchase the application.
Many thanks.

There are a few things to be careful about, particularly if others are to read your form on a variety of systems.
1. Don't use spaces in the file name. A lot of browsers will choke on spaces, though most are starting to accept this non-standard habit resulting from Windows habits.
2. Don't put a space between mailto: and your email. It will send a space in from of your e-mail address that may cause a problem with an e-mail client.
3. Your submit button was not labelled, with an icon as you had it set or simply text "Submit."
I modified the form to come to me and filled it out. The data was sent to me and I asked to open it, it could not find the file but allowed me to select the form file and it opened up just fine. You can also open the form in Acrobat and use the import data option. It sounds like this last little bit was the hangup for you. In the past I have been able to select the FDF file and it would open right up. I am not sure what is necessary for it to find the form - standard placement or what I am not sure.

Button to send filled out form as completed pdf form via email

I have created a form that when filled out, should send the form by email to the recipient as a completed pdf form. It works with Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
Any Ideas?
form can be found at: http://www.lcyc.ca/images/stories/macman2012/macmanentry.pdf

Check out:
http://www.nk-inc.com/macmanentry.pdf
Use your real name, and e-mail address in the PDF form fields, and recieve a customized email copy and response.
The script will parse and merge the XDP submission, so there's no need to Reader Enable your forms.
PDFEmail.net works in ASP.net web servers.
Note: Do not submit sensitive information, this is just a demo. I may get a BCC of the form.
