Have a window pop up after email submit button is clicked

Is there a way to have a pop up occur after a user has pressed the email submit button? I need to have a reminder pop up as the form is submitted. Thank you in advance!

Have you gotten an answer to this question yet?
Here's what I did:
I created a regular button with the following script on the "click event"
EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");
Then created another button (EmailSubmitButton)with the Control Type set to Submit; Submit to url should be: mailto:[email protected]; and Submit as PDF (if you want the actual form to come back to you) or XML (if you just want the data).
Then I added a script under the EmailSubmitButton's PreSave Event, which states:
app.alert("Your Form Has Been Submitted.");
I distribute my form using the Adobe 8 Wizard and it works great.
I would like to add a script that closes the form after submission. The script I found is
app.execMenuItem("Close");
This script is placed on the next line following the above app.alert message under the EmailSubmitButton. It works fine if you send the form manually via email, but Adobe has an error message when I try to distribute it.
If anyone can help me with this issue. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jen

  • Email submit button doesn't work after digitally signing document

    I have a PDF fillable form that works great except for the digital signature fields. Every employee needs to fill it out, sign it, hit the email submit button to faward it to the boss, who then signs it and saves it. There are two digital signature fields that need to be signed by different people. If the employee fills out all of the fields and then hits the email submit button, everything works as it should. However, if they sign it digitally like we need them to and then press the email submit button, nothing happens. It's like the button is no longer interactive at all. The mouse doesn't even change anymore when hovering over it. How can I fix this?

    When you click the submit button, do you get a window that has the title "Select Email Client"and has the options of "Desktop Email Application" and "Internet Email"? If not, does anything at all happen?
    Note that Mac users must have Acrobat or Reader installed and be viewing the PDF in Acrobat or Reader for it to work. Many (most?) Mac users have the Preview Application as their default PDF viewer, and it does not support many interactive features such as form submissions. Although some third-party PDF viewers for Windows support form submissions, many do not.
    For those that do not use PDF viewers that support form submissions, they will have to manually attach the document to an email message.

  • Email Submit button issue after distrbution

    I am trying to distribute and collect forms at work using the email submit button. I am able to successfully submit the form when in preview mode, however something happens when I use the distribute function.  I distributed the email to my office as a test and when they click Submit they get a Check Names window that says: Microsoft Outlook does not recognize "1. Double-click the attachment."
    I also attempted to use my home computer (where I do not have Outlook) to submit the email and had no problems submitting (using gmail).
    What is going on, and how do I fix it?

    I didn't so much resolve the issue, as found a way around it. Since the problem only arose when using the email distribute button, I just didn't use it and emailed the survey as an attachment through outlook.
    I suspect the problem comes from upgrading Adobe Acrobat, but no one seems to know.

  • Windows 7 / Email Submit Buttons Issues

    Since Windows 7 has been released, none of my previous forms with Email Submit Buttons work.  Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions?

    Hi Pete,
    you can buy Snow Leopard for about USD 29 but you don't have to install OSX Snow Leopard in order to install the updated BootCamp Drivers from it.
    Since the BootCamp Drivers are on a seperate 'partition' on the OSX DVD (better said the OSX DVD is an OSX/Windows-hybrid disc) you can just install the BootCamp Drivers from it.

  • 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

  • Email submit button doesn't work with Thunderbird

    I created a LiveCycle (v8.2.1) form with the email submit button. Works fine if the sender is using Outlook. If their using Thunderbird, it does not. I installed Thunderbird on my system (normally I use Outlook) and set Control Panel/Internet Options/Programs email to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email program. When I click the Email button on my LiveCycle PDF form, I get a message telling me: Select an Email Client. The "Desktop Email Application" radio button is checked and that should be fine; the explanation for this button indicates that it should be checked "if you currently use an email application such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, or Mail.". I leave that checked, since I am using an email application and click OK. After 20-30 seconds, I get a message with the title bar: Microsoft Office Outlook "A program is trying to access e-mail address information stored in Outlook..." Allow|Deny|Help. I click Deny. After a minute or so, an Outlook "New" email window appears with the appropriate information from my LiveCycle PDF form. Right content, wrong email client. Since Thunderbird is my "default" email application, where is LiveCycle coming up with Outlook? What do my customers do who don't use Outlook?
    I hope someone has a good solution.
    Thanks.

  • 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.

  • Email submit button is not working

    Now facing strange problem for email submit button. A custome script (event.target.submitForm) is used for sending mail. It is working well adobe reader 9.1 but getting block Acrobat X pro. Also update reader can not submit the form by mail.
    A pop box appears which says Acrobat does not allow the connection to:..........
    I was trying to allow the restriction but not get any option to select. Edit > preferences > Trust Manager > change setting > under manage internet access I cannot edit any option.
    Has adobe changed any policy? How can I submit form by email?

    The email button can only work for Reader users if the document is Reader-enabled with Acrobat (or LiveCycle Reader Extensions). Do you have Acrobat?
    For the text field problem, you just have to make them multiline. In LiveCycle Designer, select a text field, open the Object palette, and select "Allow Multiple Lines" on the Field tab. You may want to also select "Limit Length to Visible Area".

  • Email submit button pdf file

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, Adobe Reader X, and LiveCycle Designer.
    I have a pdf file that I would like to be sent back to me in pdf format when the submit button is clicked. I created the button in LiveCycle Designer, and Extended features to adobe Reader. I am able to have a outloook message pop up with the PDF attached when using the Adobe Acrobate Pro, but not the Adobe Reader. Also, I had to change settings to allow all websites in Trust Manager under the Preferences before the outlook message would open up. Can anyone help me get the submit button to work in Adobe Reader?

    Here's how mine works, I put in the submit button, and in the submit dialogue tab I type in "mailto:" in the URL address and select the "pdf" from the drop down menu under "submit as". Then save it as either a static or dynamic pdf, Reader enable it and open it in Adobe Reader. Now when you click your submit button, an email should open up ready to be addressed where ever you want to mail it, with your pdf as an attachement.
    I hope this helps.

  • Email Submit Button doesn't use default email software

    When I click the Email Submit button, the form does not use my default email program (Eudora). Instead it uses an old hotmail account which I don't even use anymore.
    All other web pages bring up Eudora when I click on a mail link.
    Only Live Cycle documents do not.
    I have the latest version of LiveCycle.
    Is there a fix for this?

  • Email Submit Button - Crash (Not severe)

    To reproduce:
    1. Create a new blank form. Select Next.
    2. Select Defaults. Select Next.
    3. Select any Return Method (E.g. Print) Select Next.
    4. Select Finish to start.
    5. Insert an Email Submit Button.
    6. Leave the Email Address and Subject fields blank.
    7. On the click event for example, type a code (e.g. app.fullscreen = true;)
    8. Going back to the email field type an email address or subject.
    9. Designer wouldn't be able to catch the error and crash.
    This bug report is tagged as not severe since users can circumvent by simply avoiding this sequence. Note that other similar actions may trigger this event.

  • PDF file size increases when I add a Email Submit button

    Hello,
    My PDF form is 87KB.  Once I add a Email submit button the file size jumps to 525KB.  Why?
    Reason this confuses me is that it seems to be inconsistent.  I have added this function to other PDF forms and the file size only increased a few KB.   Every now & then adding a button or Javascript will increase the file size.
    I have retraced my steps over & over, but I cannot find a answer to why this is happening.
    Thanks for the help everyone!
    -CM

    The problem is the font. Use Helvetica instead. When you do, Acrobat/Reader actually use a version of Arial anyway.
    When you use one of the non-base-14 fonts (Helvetica, Times, Courier, [and their bold, italic, bold italic variants] Symbol, and Zafp Dingbats) for a form field, Acrobat has to embed the entire font in the file, and some can be rather large. The base-14 fonts are guaranteed to be available for use by the compliant PDF viewer, so there is not need to embed them in the file. A viewer is allowed to substitute suitable replacement fonts, which is what Acrobat/Reader now do.
    The problem is you can't simply go back and change the font to Helvetica and see the full size reduction that you'd expect after you do a Save As. This is because Acrobat does not clean up everything as well as you might expect. So what you have to do is go back to a version of the form that does not have the button, or copy & paste the field from the old form to a new PDF that doesn't have any fields, but delete the button first. Then create the button anew.

  • Hidden Email Submit Button & Mandatory Check Boxes

    Hi guys
    I'm trying to get my form to only allow people to return the form (via email) once they have accepted the terms and conditions AND the privacy policy.
    Their acceptance of these is confirmed by 2 check boxes called acceptservicesterms and acceptprivacypolicy respectively. For each of these check boxes I have added this script to 'initialise':
    this.mandatory = "error";
    this.mandatoryMessage = "You must accept our Services Booking Terms and Conditions to request a booking";
    I have then set my email submit button (EmailSubmitButton) to 'hidden (exclude from layout)' and created a 'fake' email submission button in its place. The click event for the FakeEmailSubmitButton is scrpited as:
    if (acceptserviceterms.rawValue != "bookingtermsagreed")
    xfa.host.messageBox("You must accept our Services Booking Terms and Conditions to request a booking");
    else if (acceptprivacypolicy.rawValue != "privacypolicyagreed")
    xfa.host.messageBox("You must accept our Privacy Policy to request a booking");
    else
    EmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");
    Where the 'on' values are 'bookingtermsagreed' and 'privacypolicyagreed' respectively.
    Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for me - I'm not sure if the javascript is completely correct, or if I have gone about this the right way. Can anyone shed any light on what I've done wrong please?
    Thanks in advance

    if (acceptserviceterms.rawValue != "bookingtermsagreed")
    in this line the field name is acceptservicesterms but u typed as acceptserviceterms - letter s missing.
    after this correction i am able to see the error messages.

  • Email submit Button issues on form

    I am having an issue with attempting to generate email with a button in my form.  I had created one some time ago (using Acrobat PRO 9-Live Cycle) and the button generating email to a specific person seemed to be functioning properly.  I now had a person tell me that the usual person was not receiving his email.  When taking a closer look (I am now using Acrobat X) at the same form, the email function worked appropriately for me and went to the appropriate person.
    Now, however, when  I took that same form into designer to make some additions and continue looking at the button, I wrote out a new version of the form and the very same button does not function the same way.  Previously, a pop-up would appear and you could choose your normal e-mail or internet email and then, when choosing your normal method of email, a new email message would appear(which you could edit) and it would be directed to the person that was specified on your button properties SUBMIT tab as the SUBMIT TO URL.  
    Now when I look at my new form at the same button(generated from the original), I can't even locate a SUBMIT tab for the same exact button.  What happens when I click it is a pop-up that says it is sending the form to a totally different e-mail address (that I experimented with at some time in the past.   When I look at all the event scripts associated with that button, I now see a java script associated with it that refers to this other email.  Even when I change this email inside the code, the button still comes up with a pop-up that announces it will be sent to the original address (which I changed in the script).
    I tried to creat a brand new "email submit" button using that new object type, but it is still defaulting to that erroneous address and I am not seeing where to change it?
    I know there must be some behnd the scenes goings on that I just am not familiar with.......Would this email be stored elsewhere?....have the tabs changed for buttons, but then why can I still see that property on my original form?.......is there a better approach?.......help?!!!
    May or not be related.....I also added a print button and that does not function either, but no pop-up or warning there. I did not have one on this form previously.
    Thanks in advance!

    I discovered George Johnson's post on changing identity at EDIT->PREF->ID->EMAIL ADDRESS which answered one of my questions, but I still not sure about the other behaviours that I mentioned.
