How do i set the email submit button so that the document is sent back to me in PDF and XML?

I am currently working with Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if its possible to set the e-mail submit button to send both a PDF and XML file when my document is completed by our suppliers.
I'm using the XML file to upload the information to Sage via an access database and I need the PDF to send to other departments within our organisation.
Any help anyone can offer would be great!!!
Thanks

Alternatives for Help Resetting Security Questions and/or Rescue Mail
     1. If you have a valid rescue email address, then use this procedure:
         Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
     2. Fill out and submit this form. Select the topic, Account Security. You must
         have a Rescue Email to use this option.
     3. This is the only option if you do not already have a valid Rescue Email.
         These are telephone numbers for contacting Apple Support in your country.
         Apple ID- Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. Select
         the appropriate country and call. Ask to speak to the Account Security Team.
     4. Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
         Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder.
         You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time
         convenient to you.
            1. Go to www.apple.com/support.
            2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us.
            3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for
                your issue.
            4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
         Note: If you have already forgotten your security questions, then you cannot
         set up a rescue email address in order to reset them. You must set up
         the rescue email address beforehand.

How can I embed a form on my website and set up a submit button so that when people fill out and click Submit, the filled form will be emailed to me as an attached pdf file?

Hi;
That is not a workflow that is supported by the Adobe forms solutions at this time.
Thanks,

Editing the email on the "email submit button"

I took over a form from someone else and currently the form is submitting to their email account.(Adobe 8.0) I would like to change their email address to my email address on the form (under the "email submit button). I am trying to do this without creating another new document. How do I do this?

Open the form in Designer ....click on the button that the user presses to email the form and see if it is in the code on that button. It may also be in the object properties of the button itself.

Customise the email submit button with custom email, cc, bcc, subject and body - almost working!!

Hi
I have been working on trying to customise the email submit button to custom entry email address, cc, bcc, subject etc etc
You can use the pre-submit function on the email button
I am using the following code:
this.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").format = formatlist.rawValue;
this.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:"+customemail.rawValue+"?subject="+subject.rawValue+"&cc="+cc.rawValue+"&bcc="+bcc.rawValue+"&body="+body.rawValue;
THis is picking up values from a dropdown and a series of text boxes the values of each area.
This works beautifully except for the subject area. For some reason teh subject area copies the entire srting from the subject onwards, all other areas (cc & bcc & body) all only copy the value assigned to its function.
Any thoughts
Feels like a bug in the coding but it may also be intentional.
Thanks

I believe that there was a bug logged for this issue, here is a workaround.
Add a regular button to the form used to execute the EmailSubmit button (you can make the EmailSubmit button invisible)
On the click event of the "newly added" regular button add your script
NameOfEmailSubmitButton.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:"+customemail.rawValue+"?subject="+subject.rawValue+"&cc="+cc.rawValue+"&bcc="+bcc.rawValue+"&body="+body.rawValue;
NameOfEmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");

How to add hyperlink to file path of pdf when creating email using the email submit button?

I have a form with an e-mail submit button that opens an outlook email with the .pdf file as an attachmnet, and addressed to the e-mail addresses i put in tthe address field.
What we are trying to abvoid is sending a bunch of attchement to numerous people, clogging up email space/server space.
What we would like is not to have the .pdf attched, but rather in the body of the email have a hyperlink to the path of the document. Can this be done, and if so can anyone give me some guidance.
Thanks in advance
Ron

Then you can use something like this:
app.mailMsg({ bUI: true, cTo: "[email protected]", cSubject: "You can find the file at: " + this.path });
The path that will be inserted is a so-called "device-independent path", though, so they may not be able to use it directly.
It's possible to convert it to a "normal" file path, but that is a more complex scripting task.

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

Cannot send attachment in Thunderbird using the email submit button

Hi,
I put together a form and at the top I included an submit by email button. After a little bit of work I got it to work with Thunderbird but when I try and send the email with the pdf as an attachment it says "Unable to open the temporary file. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting." I know this is not really an adobe question but I'm still hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance.

Add text field into the 'subject' of a email submit button

I have a form where the client will enter their name, organisation, query and details of their query into text fields. I would like the text in the 'query' field to be added to the 'subject' of the email submit button. This will identify different queries submitted by other clients before opening up the completed pdf form attachment.

Hi,
if you use ES3 or ES4 you can use my macro to create email scripts with values from form fields.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

Email Submit Button

I need to email a PDF form to any person I want to. But when you add the Email Submit Button to the form it requires you to enter an email address. What if the email address is different every time? Is there a way to add an Email button so when the form user clicks on the Email button it brings up Microsoft Outlook and you can type in any email address that you want?

You need to have an email submit button that, when clicked, sends the email.. but you can set properties of that button and trigger it from another button. So hide EmailSubmitButton1 (or whatever it's called), create a new button, and add script like this:
// Set whatever address you like in the mailto: line
EmailSubmitButton1.resolveNode("#event.submit").setAttribute("mailto:[email protected]?subject=h i there", "target");
EmailSubmitButton1.execEvent("click");
This finds the submit button's submit node and sets it's target property to whatever you specify, and then clicks it.

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.

Email Submit Button - Change Text/Confirm submission

I have an Email Submit Button on my survey, which I am 'distributing'. I would like for it to do 2 things once you click on the "Email Submit Button":
1) Text of the button changes once it been clicked on in order to show that the survey was submitted. Right now, all I can figure is how to have the text change when you roll over the box or for the secnod you click on the box-- i want the caption to change once its been clicked.
2) a text box appears below that can act as a "thank you for submitting your survey...".
any help and advice is much appreciated!

Thanks for the response Paul. I feel like i'm very close, but I'm still not there... I'm not sure where to enter this javascript you sent me. The only script I know to find is the XML Source ...if that's the right place, where do I enter your code?
