How to use email submit button with webmail; not a desktop email client

We've made a form that will submit data via an xml attachment to an email. It was all tested as fine (using Adobe Reader 7...) and has been deployed - DISASTER.
People using Adobe Reader 8 cannot choose to save the xml file. AR 8 just opens up their default email client. If they use webmail and it's not on the list of default email clients (IE/Tools/Options/Programs)then we don't seem to be able to get the xml data out.
How can you get AR 8 to give you a choice of what to do with the xml data when a user clicks the Submit by email button? Just like the email client choice in AR 7!!!! Please, if anybody from Adobe sees this, help us...

Did you ever get a solution to this problem. I have several clients who use internet email and it always worked with earlier versions of reader because it would display the "Select Email Client pop up.
Please let me know.

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");

Create Email/Submit button that asks the user what email address to submit to

Is it possible to have an Email/Submit button that will ask for the users to imput the email address in which to submit to?

My own opinion is that you are going to tick off more people than you realize. I think you can handle this in one of a few better ways:
1) Institute an interface/web service where the HR system can send you people that are terminated. If the person has sensitive company data or anything on your site it would be in their best interest to remove their access.
2) Force password resets every x days. To reset a password, your page can send the link to their email. That way they have to establish they still work there to reset it.
3) Along the lines of #2, just make them verify their account every x days. If they don't do it within a week timespan, lock their account until they can prove they work there.
I mean unless you're dealing with top secret information, if someone gets a few extra days of your service its not a big deal. You have to balance the user experience with the reality that someone may get your service for free for a bit.
I can still get into My Oracle Support with my old email address. I obviously would not dare to put in a ticket, but I can view bug notes, knowledge base..etc. So it happens.

How to use the submit button without an email address

We are changing the way one of our forms is used. Previously the "submit by email" button opened up an email with a specific TO: address. Now we like to have the user put in the address but still have the form attached to the email when it is opened.
Has anyone done this or does anyone have an idea how we can accomplish this?

Place a HTTP submit button in your form and update the User Entered email using the below script.
YourHTTPSubmitButton.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + txtEmailField.rawValue

How to use many submit buttons in an one html form

I'm doing a simple program to insert, edit, delete data from a web page to an database
but the problem is that in an html form , you are allowed to put only 1 submit button.
I heard that you can take the action of many buttons, for a one form using java script
if anyone have a better idea or else have this simple java script, please help me
Thank you very much

Give the buttons an unique name.
In the servlet just check if the button is pressed or not by determining if HttpServletRequest#getParameter() doesn't return null for the button name.There are a couple of "gotchas" when using this technique of dispatching with certain html controls. Most of them browser related.
If you are using <input type="image" name="myButton"> as a submit button, be aware that Internet Explorer will submit the parameters "myButton.x" and "myButton.y" giving the x,y co-ordinates of where you clicked on the button. And won't submit any other value. So calling request.getParameter("myButton") would return null. You have to test for request.getParameter("myButton.x");
If you are using <input type="button" name="myButton"> with Internet Explorer all of the buttons are deemed "successful". So calling request.getParameter("myButton") will never return null.
At least thats the way it works in IE6. And thats what I'm stuck with at work right now, so thats what gets used. It may be fixed in later versions, but I don't have any info on that.
Cheers,

EMail Submit button with mailto: based on form data

Based on form data, I would like to have an email button that sends mail to the email address identified in the email field. Obviously this can change, how would one go about programming a button to send to email based on field data?
Thx...
/cw

Hi Chris,
Yes this can be easily done. I gathered the following solutions from various threads and so I am not claiming any originality here...
Set up a textfield "Email", with a tooltip telling users to separate email addresses with a ";".
Next set up a regular button with the following Javascript in the click event:
var email = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Email").rawValue;
var subject = "Specify your subject line here"
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: "+ email +"?subject=" + subject +"&body=You can also input some standard text to appear in the body of the email.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
You might want to put an if statement that if the "Email" textfield is blank/null that an app.alert comes up informing the user to input at least one email address.
We took it a stage further on one of our forms. We set up three checkboxes with people's names who are regularly sent the form (nod and cc1 and cc2) and then a textfield "additional" for additional addresses.
Each checkbox had an associated Textfield (EM1_email, cc1_email, and cc2_email) that were invisible. Each checkbox had similar Javascript in the mouse up event:
if (this.rawValue == 0) {
EM1_email.rawValue = null;
else {
EM1_email.rawValue = "[email protected];";
Then we set up another invisible textfield (Email) which had the following Formcalc in the calculate event:
if (nod.rawValue == 0 & cc1.rawValue == 0 & cc2.rawValue == 0) then
$ = null
else
$ = Concat(EM1_email, cc1_email, cc2_email, additional)
endif
This basically pulled the email addresses from the ticked checkboxes and the additional user inputted email addresses into one text field. From there the regular button with the script above send the email. This speeded up the process for regular reciptents.
If you search the forum for topics such as cURL:"mailto: you should see lots of other examples.
Good luck,
Niall

Hi Fred,
To 'Connect', you will need to confirgure the remote Mac's router to accept ARD connections.
This is done by accessing your router via the manufacturer's software. This can usually be accessed by tapping the internal IP into a browser. You will have to get your parents to do this unless the router is setup for remote management.
Within this software, there should be a section called 'services' or 'firewall services'. You need to add five new services (1 for each of the following port numbers - 3283, 5432, 5900, 5988 & 5989), give them names like ARD1, ARD2 and so on, not critical, just helps you manage them in the future.
Within each of these new services, you 'port forward', all you need to do is input the remote Mac's internal IP number (192.168.0.xx) to every ARD service. This basically tells the router which Mac to look at when you connect via ARD.
This should be everything - if not keep asking...

P.S. You did have Remote Desktop service started on the remote Mac, not yours?

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.

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

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.

Using a submit button, how can I include a data key and a message in the body of the email??

I have a form that I have created in LiveCycle with a submit button to have the completed form emailed to a specific person. I have it set up with a message in the body of the email, but I am looking to add an additional message based on the results of one of the fields in the form....is this possible without major script writing?
I am not a programmer, but willing to learn some script.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.

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 - using Lotus Notes

Hi,
I am creating a helpdesk form and have done the following already. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 and the rest of the users have Adobe 8 professional. They will be filling out the form with Adobe 8 Pro.
1. Created a submit button which emails the form as a PDF file to the helpdesk, includes the subject and body
2. Changed the default email application in IE to Lotus notes
However, when I click on the submit button, it still opens a new "email" in Outlook, which we don't use. We are using Lotus Notes 6. I've searched this form on how to change the default email application from Outlook but didn't find anything other than changing it in IE.
Any help would be appreciated!! I am not an Adobe developer, just trying to create something that is better that what is currently out there.

Hi, sorry only just seen this post.
You have probably worked this out for yourself by now.
Basically in lotus notes
File > Preferences > user preferences> Mail > internet
then tick use lotus as you default mail.
Hope this helps
