Help with SUBMIT BY EMAIL, radio buttons

Hi guys:
I have a two parter. I sincerely appreciate any advice!
1. Using Adobe Acrobat/Adobe LiveCycle Designer (mostly LiveCycle) I want to somehow pull a user-entered value from the PDF into the subject line of the email, created when the user clicks on "SUBMIT BY EMAIL".
Specifically, when the end-user fills in the "Employee ID" line in the PDF form, and submits the form, I'd like the subject line of the Submit by Email -email to read "Employee #___" with the ___ obviously being the employee ID.
Any help would be great; thanks!
2. I am aware of how to prevent a PDF being submitted via email if the enduser hasn't filled out a certain part of it -- a message pops up saying that the user hasn't filled in a required line, and the line is highlighted with a red box, etc.
What I can't figure out is as follows: I have two radio buttons, one (and only one) of which MUST be slected by the user. How do I set it up so that either one or the other must be selected in order to submit? Currently the form will only submit if you have both selected.
Thanks!

David,
I can help with the first part I think. I just tried this out using Designer and Acrobat 8, and it worked. (I saved my form as a dynamic acrobat 8 pdf)
I got this script from searching the forum and then tweaked it a tiny bit so that it works for the subject line. (http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?addBookmark@@.3bc34abf/44)
Using a regular button for submitting, I added this javascript as a click event:
var Comment = EmployeeID.rawValue;
if (EmployeeID.rawValue == null){ Comment = " "} else {Comment = EmployeeID.rawValue};
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee#"+Comment+"&bo dy=Write whatever you want to go here.",cSubmitAs:"XML",cCharset:"utf-8"});
So, my variable "Comment" will return the number typed into the EmployeeID field and put it in the subject line after "Employee #". If you copy/paste the code, make sure you change the email address and body message to be what you want.
Kristi
(oh, and if you want it to come back as pdf, change the cSubmitAs:"XML" to "PDF" and then enable user rights in Acrobat 8.)

  • Export only specific data in XML with Submit by Email button

    I have created a form with multiple subforms that includes user input and calculations. One of these subforms contains fields that are bound to a MS Access database to retrieve data for calculations. All of the fields on this subform are bound to the data connection. The data connection, calculations, and submit by email button all work perfectly. My only problem is that the XML data that is being exported includes the data I bound to the MS Access database. I only want the data that the user inputs. I have changed the binding to "none" on all of the calculated fields to restrict them from exporting.
    I have attached a copy of the XML file that is generated when the "Submit by Email" button is clicked. I only want the data from the "YTDIncStmt" subform to be included in this file. The "MasterData10K1", "MasterData10K2", and "MasterData10K3" are the actual data connections to the MS Access database.
    How do I limit the export to only the data the user input?

    I have the very same problem! I am importing data from MS Access and trying to export XML data that I can sync with Quickbooks. But the XML file contains some of my binded MS Access fields, which Quickbooks doesn't know what to do with, and rejects my xml files. I am also looking for a way to submit only selected XML data.  You ever find a solution/work around?

  • When saving form with 'Save As', losing radio button value

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 8.2 to Acrobat Pro 10.  Now experiencing the following issue:
    I have a PDF form, that is filled by an application.   With Acrobat Pro 10, if I open the completed form, and then use 'File' > 'Save As' > 'PDF', then the radio button fields lose their value.  Other fields retain their value, only the radio button fields become blank.   If I use the 'Save' option, then the radio buttons do not lose their value.
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hi,
    Can you check on your page to see if you have "reset page" process - if so, you could probably remove it. Also check on your page branches so see if you are clearing the cache for the page. If your page item is not related to a table field, you can also change the "Source Used" setting for it to "Only when current value in session state is null".
    When you submit a page, all page items should be stored in the session and would be available the next time the page is reloaded UNLESS you clear the cache for the page or the Source settings instruct Apex to retrieve the value from elsewhere - the above are the most likely causes, so check them first

  • Help with Flash AS 2.0 Buttons

    Hi,
    I really need some help with this file, I m fairly inexperience in action script and have great difficulty getting this to work.
    what happens is when you click on the Performance button on the left, the Learn more buttons below the gloves on the  perform  frame of movie clip  mButtons  will not work. These buttons are movie clips on a separate frame of the same time line of the movie clip   mButtons  which contains the Lifestyle Learn more buttons on the  life  frame.
    Ideally the buttons would have been in the rollover on the gloves, which are buttons rather than movie clips, but I was unable to get that to work either.
    If you can help with the 2.0 code it might be most helpful as I am even less familiar with AS 3.0
    Thanks for any help.
    Dave

    Your perfomance buttons need to be on the first frame of your mButtons movie clip. I attached two different ways of doing this.

  • Need help with my Yahoo Email

    I just purchased a new Desktop this year and am having difficulties with my Yahoo email.
    After writing a new email, when I go to put the person's email address in, previously I could just type a couple of letters from their email address and it would automatically input different address's.
    Now after writing an email, nothing comes up. I have to actually save my email as a draft, go find the email address and copy/paste it into the new email.
    When I click on about my computer, I know it says my system is a 10.8.3
    Can anyone help me to solve my problem?

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Help with iCloud/syncing emails

    Hi
    I may be missing something really obvious here as I like to think I'm pretty good with technology and have been Mac based for the last 8 odd years so I'm used to the Apple setup etc. However, I'm having some difficulties getting things syncing across devices and wondered if anyone knew how to resolve this.
    I have several different email addresses I use, my personal one and my work one, plus the standard icloud one you get when you create an icloud account. My personal email address is from my own domain name so is set up as an 'other' type of email account, my work email is Exchange Server type.
    Across my iPhone, iPad, Mac and iCloud on the web the Exchange email address syncs perfectly. I can send/receive email from this account and if I delete a message/read a message/move a message to another folder etc it syncs automatically across all devices. With my own personal email, although I can read/delete/send emails from any device, they don't sync, in that I may read all my emails on my iPhone and then have to go through them again on my Mac and my iPad separately.
    Also, when I log into iCloud on the web, the only emails visable are from my iCloud email address and this is all I can send emails from as well.
    My personal email address is the one my Apple ID is set with.
    Is anyone able to shed any light on this for me please as its extremely frustrating to have to keep going through my emails 3 times each day, and even more frustrating that my work email which is Microsoft based works better than my Apple Mail account!!
    Many thanks
    Jo

    Thanks for that nunomonterio, I shall get this set up now to try it out.
    In the meantime though can I just check a couple of things....
    That means I can only redirect one domain I assume, so it uses relevant smtp server (I have a couple of different domains).
    Also, surely that mean that when I respond to my emails forwarded from my own domain to the icloud account they will be sent with my icloud email address or can I set them to display the from address of the relevant domain they were originally sent to?
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • Little help with making an email form.

    can any of you lovely, lovely people point me in the
    direction of a good Dreamweaver CS3 tutorial on how to make an
    email form. Preferably one with a "conform email address" text
    field.
    Thanks all!
    P.S. I have tried looking.

    There is god general training available at www.lynda.com .
    Its $25 a month for online video viewing. The title is called
    Dreamweaver CS3 - Beyond the Basics.
    I also would recommend a free form mail solution like
    www.tectite.com which I have used before. It is more powerful that
    the spry widget in dreamweaver, but is on the server side and not
    the user application side.

  • Help:  Need to calculate a radio button when selected or not selected

    I am hoping its possible to use a script to calculate a radio button when it is selected.  For example:
    My form has 4 grouped radio buttons (Radio Button 1-4) of 5 buttons.
    So its something like this:
         Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Level 4     Level 5
    1.   RB1          RB1            RB1           RB1         RB1
    2.   RB2          RB2            RB2           RB2         RB2
    3.   RB3          RB3            RB3           RB3         RB3
    4.   RB4          RB4            RB4           RB4         RB4
    Items areas total:               Total Points:               Average Score:
    The buttons already have different values set for each button to calculate a score in the "Total Points" text field. (Level 1 scores 1, Level 2 scores 2, etc.)
    I would like to have the "Items areas total" text field to calculate either a value of 1 if selected or a 0 if not selected.  So if 3 of the 4 rows are selected a return of "3" is calculated, if all 4 rows are selected then it returns "4", etc.
    Seems it would be a simple script.
    Thanks

    Hi Franklin,
    I understand that we can show the selected row in different color.
    But still there is a requiremnet given saying that there should be an radio button or Select button or check box (Checked only one at a time of several rows) apart from showing the selected row in a different color.
    Current display of the page:
    We have three regions, 1> Main region, 2> Master region, 3> Detail region.
    Main region has some text parameters, Master region has a adf:table and when ever you select a row on the master region the detail region values are getting refreshed based on the row selected.
    Is there any simple way apart from adding a boolean transient attribute to VO and displaying it as one of the column in adf:table?
    Thanks,
    Sandeep

  • Help with making an Email Submit button on a form!

    Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.
    Im trying to put on it a email submit button - i used email submit field and made the button. Then in the Objects Palette, in the box that says email address i put in the email address that i want it to be sent to. I then tried to email the form, and i received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to come through with the PDF form.
    I searched on help and this is what i found:
    3.
    In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.
    4.
    Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.

    Use this URL protocol
    Example
    Submit the package to an ftp site

    Select PDF from the Submit As list.
    I cant find where to change these options - can someone help?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The issue is that if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader cannot submit the form as a PDF.
    They can submit it as an XML file and then you would re-import this back into the form on receipt. It is an extra step, but it does have the advantage that the data being submitted as an XML file is very small.
    If you really need/want the form to be submitted as a PDF AND your users have Reader, then the form will have to be Reader Enabled.
    There are two options:
    Reader Enable using Acrobat Standard (version 9) or Acrobat Professional (version 8). This will give certain rights, like the ability for users with Reader to save the form and for the form to be submitted as a PDF. However there are licensing restrictions, see EULA.
    The other option is to Reader Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. This is a server product, which entails additional cost and a cost to Reader Enable each form. It is intended for processing large volumes of forms/large volumes of data.
    There is a summary here:
    http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
    So there are a couple of options.
    Form NOT Reader Enabled:
    Users cannot save the data they input.
    Data must be submitted as an XML file and processed on receipt.
    Form IS Reader Enabled:
    Users can save the data they input.
    Data can be submitted as a PDF (or XML file).
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Help with a JavaScript email submit button taking word null out if blank

         First of all I dont know much about java, but I wanted to create a submit button and I did alot of research.  I want a button that will email some pdf files I have created in LiveCycle.  So far everyting works but my code needs help.
         There are a few fields I want to be place in the body of the e-mail, but if left blank I dont want null to apear on the email subject or body.
    Here is what I have so far *this is a work around, but it not very good.
    strSubject= "Account "+DropDownList1.rawValue+" For: " +last.rawValue +", " +first.rawValue +" " +mi.rawValue;
    if (mi.rawValue ==null || mi.rawValue =="")strSubject = "Account "+DropDownList1.rawValue+" For: " +last.rawValue +", " +first.rawValue;
         The 4 fields am working on are First name, last name, Mi and comments.  First and last are alwasy used, but if MI is not I dont want Null in there, with what I have above it works but its messy.  I wanted to do the same with Comments if its left blank I like for it to read "Comments: None" not null
    On the If statement I just re did the whole deal with out the  mi.rawvalue but i now that is not right way... any help would be great.
    Thanks

    var strDropDownListValue,strFirstName, strLastName, strMI
    if(DropDownList1.rawValue == null || DropDownList1.rawValue == "")
           strDropDownListValue = "";
    else

  • New to Adobe Forms and need help with Submit Email button

    I am new to Adobe Forms in Windows.  I created a form with a submit email button.  When users try to click the button, the message is operation cannot be completed.  My test user has Adobe Reader 9 installed.  I'm at a loss as to how to resolve the issue.  Please assist.  TIA!

    Three different aspects
    1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
    2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
    3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
    If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.
