LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Submitting .pdf via E-mail

Hi all,
I've been working on this form for months now. I know this topic has been started a thousand times already, but after weeks of experimenting with the javascript functions I am losing my patience.
My form needs a "Submit" button that does the following:
1. Attachs the entire .pdf to an e-mail
2. Pulls data from two form fields and places it into the subject line
The code is attached to a regular submit button:
----- form1.#subform[0].Button1::click: - (JavaScript, client) -------------------------------------
//Create a variable to hold the document object
var oDoc = event.target;
oDoc.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cCC: "[email protected]",
cSubject: cSubject: " " + StudentLastName.rawValue + " " + EmployeeID.rawValue + ". Student Action Request Form."});
The button does not open an e-mail client in Reader 9, Professional 8, or in the Livecycle Preview.
Thanks,
csteward

Hi,
This is what we are using:
var vEmail = toEmail.rawValue;
var vSubject = subjectLine.rawValue;
var vBody =  messageLine.rawValue;
if (vEmail != null && vSubject != null && vBody != null)
     event.target.app.mailMsg({
     bUI: true,
     cTo: vEmail,
     cSubject: vSubject,
     cMsg: vBody
else
     app.alert("Please provide information above before sending email!");

Hope that helps,

  • Can I combine a form created in Livecycle Designer with a standard pdf to create a new document?

    I have a fillable form that I created with Livecycle Designer along with two standard pdf files.  When I try to combine in Acrobat Pro 10 it identifies the form with XML data and will not allow me to complete the process.  Thanks in advance for any help with this.

    No you cannot... this is one of the things my organization struggles with.  I love livecycle becuase of its dynamic form capabilities, but we have so many other pre-built pdfs in adobe pro that can not be merged with these forms.  It is truly frustrating!!!  wish i had a better answer for you.  Also from the book 'Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer' page 6... "The PDF files that Designer creates are structurally different than other PDF files...... LiveCycle Designer can edit a PDF form created in Acrobat, but Acrobat can not edit a PDF form created in Designer."  Likewise... XML pdfs do not merge with other pdfs. JoBeth

  • Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

    Hi,
    I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.

    I am having same issue with Adobe Acrobat 9. The Acrobat 9 cropped file is displaying properly under WinXP but have the same issue as above in Win7. This issue seems uncommon as I tried to look for similar issue  and couldn't find any.
    P.S. It's only the Design View in Win7 that has the issue, I can still see the file fine with Preview PDF in both enviornment.

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • Trial Version of LiveCycle Designer 7.1 Missing PDF Preview

    Following the HELP/Getting Started instructions to test 7.1, I notice that I do not have the "PDF Preview" tab next to the "Body Pages" tab. I never noticed this missing tab until the final steps of the exercise instruct me to use it. I would really like to continue in the tutorial, but until I get this figured out, I don't want to waste time if the product is faulty. (I was really getting into it...when my heart sank!) Can anyone help me?

    In addition, it is my understanding and experience (with version 6) that it must be installed
    b prior
    to installing LiveCycle Designer. If that requirement continues with version 7 that means that at this point you would have to uninstall LiveCycle Designer, install Acrobat or the latest Reader and then reinstall LiveCycle Designer.
    I suggest you save your work (forms, custom library elements, etc) before uninstalling so you can restore it after reinstalling.

  • Send Adobe form as PDF via E-mail

    Hi,
    I am doing one interacive adobe form where i need to send that filled form in PDF format via email.
    I tried using below options but unfortunately its not working:
    1.I used "Email Submit Button" but its sending attachment as XML which I dont want.
    when reffred threads on this problem , they suggested to go to XML VIEW of this button and change SUBMIT FORMAT to "pdf" from "xml".... but in this case , that button is not working at all.
    2.I used below solution
    Use a regular form button:   Place a regular form button on your form .  Look on the Object Window for the button.  On the Field tag, towards the bottom will be a set of "Control Type" radio buttons.  Select the "submit" option.  There should now be a "submit" tab in the Object window.  Switch to the tab and on the "Submit As" pulldown select PDF.  But this is also not working.
    Your comments are helpful for me.

    Hi,
    Get your form data in XML format from Interface. There are some standard classes available to convert the XML to PDF and sending mail.
    Thanks,

  • Livecycle design 8 Help with PDF forms

    I am new to Livecycle 8. I have created a simple PDF form in Livecycle 8 which was orignally an excel form. I set it up with a submit button to submit by email to a designated person. The form is housed on an internal web site for viewers with adobe reader to open and fill out and then submit by email. The goal is for the designated receiver to receive the the same PDF form with the information filled out by the previous viewer. I was successful with the form being emailed to the designated person as long as the peson submitting the form was using adobe professional. If the viewer only has adobe reader, the form would not submit to the designated receiver. Please help? 

    Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

  • Livecycle designer form accessibility in PDF

    HI!
    I have created a form in LiveCycle.  When it opens in PDF and I run the accessiblitiy checker it says that the language is not defined for the form?  How do I define it.
    Also In PDF there is a Keywords section that I can't figure out how to populate in Livecycle so if filters over to PDF.  Any help is greatly appreciated!
    jodi

    Hi,
    I am not sure about the language specification. I could only run an accessibility check on a static PDF form. Like you, it could not determine the language specification for the text objects. I would have expected the Form Locale to have set this, but it seems not to be the case:
    In relation to the Keywords, you can add these to a form in Designer. However you have to do this manually in the XML Source tab:
    Add your keywords into the <rdf:Description> tag after <pdf:Producer>. Bound by a <pdf:Keywords> tag.
    Hope that helps,

  • Problem submitting PDF via HTTPS

    I'm an Adobe Acrobat newbie, and am having issues submitting a PDF form to an HTTPS server.  My basic setup is as follows:
    1)  PDF Form with one text field and a single submit button pointing to a https URL.  The button submits in the XDP format.
    2)  A server which can only be accessed through SSL and has a valid SSL certificate
    I get the following error when I hit the submit button in Adobe Reader 9:
    "An error has occurred during the submit process.  The server has an invalid SSL certificate."
    I tried the following:
    1)  Adding the SSL certificate to the Manage Trusted Identities, and pressing the submit button.  Same error.
    2)  After installing the certificate, going to Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Advanced Preferences, and checking the box for Enable searching the Windows Certificate store for certificates other than your own.  Same error.
    I've tested the servlet by posting through a .NET application and it works fine. Am I missing something here?

    I've fixed this problem.  Turns out my windows certificate store didn't have the Root certificate for my website added in it.  I just found the root certificate online and installed it into the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store in windows.  I then went to Edit -> Preferences -> Security -> Advanced Preferences, and checked the box for Enable searching the Windows Certificate store.  Works like a charm now.

  • LiveCycle Designer 8.0 preview pdf issue

    Is anyone having a problem when creating a form, then using the preview pdf to check the layout? Everything is showing up, but you can't do anything, such as filling in fields,drop down the lists, check radio buttons, etc. If I save the file, then open it up in reader, everything works as it should.
    Mark

    Hello Mark,
    It sounds like the PDF is rendered as a non-interactive form.
    1. Go to File | Form Properties.
    2. Click on the Defaults tab (could be Preview tab if using newer version of Designer).
    3. Set the Preview Type to Interactive Form.
    Does this resolve your problem?

  • Submitting pdf via email

    I have a form that is submitting a pdf through email. Usage rights are enabled. When I hit submit I get an error. The operation failed. Any ideas?

    You do not have MAPI active on your system. Acrobat uses MAPI to access your e-mail client. Since this is client dependent, it is a risky way to distribute a form.

  • LiveCycle Designer 7 : Saving the PDF form for the users ?

    Hi,
    When building a form, which will be filled by users, is there any way that the users can be offered the possibility to save their data within the PDF so that they can send the complete form by emails or through a other files exchange media (FTP, WEB, Flashdisk... )
    Although having the possibility to sent only the XML data via email (which is great and we would like to keep this option) we fear that some of our users, which are filling the form, might not feel confident with this and might want to sent their completed form too ?
    Thanks for your answer
    Eric B

    I was able to make this work for the first time yesterday. Assuming that you have Abobe Acrobat 8.0, once you have built the form...using adobe 8 go to the Advanced menu and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader". The first time that I did this, and then attached the form to a user of reader - they were not able to save the completed form. So - I went to 'Forms' on the menu and selected "distribute form". Then the user of adobe was able to saved that form and changes that they made.
    The distribute function wants you to email from there as a default. I had trouble because our default mail client is Novell. Still can't get that to work right. BUT - you can distribute the form and save it to your drive for distribution later. I then attached it to an email and sent it out to users.
    Be sure to walk your end user through - using save as and saving it to their computer. My folks are used to NOT being able to do that so they still said they couldn't save the completed form.
    Sorry if this explanation is very basic - but I am not at all a programmer! :) This is what worked for me. I spent hours on this site yesterday trying to work out the email piece and stumbled into this solution.
    Good luck!

  • Cannot send scanned PDF via Apple Mail

    Hi all,
    here at work we have the strange problem that we cannot send Mails with PDFs which are scanned with our MFP Xerox Phaser 6180MFP-D and then transferred to the Mac Desktop which are the send with Apple Mail.
    In the Activity Window we see that the Mail sending is stalling at 16%. Other PDFs can be sended without Problems.
    Even the PDFs which we cannot send with Apple Mail can be send with Entourage 2004. The Problem exists in OSX 10.5 and OSX 10.3. Does anyone have an Idea how we can try to solve this? Is there a debugger around?
    Thanks a lot in advance
    Regards,
    Stefan

    Stefan,
    Can you email me such a PDF (using Entourage apparently)? My address can be found by clicking on my name to the left, and looking in the bio line of the resulting Profile.
    I will be able to test with both 10.5 and 10.4. I am suspecting this may be a timing out problem? Could be related to MTU (maximum transmission unit) with your connection, which can differ depending upon the application doing the uploading. If so there are diagnostics tests for checking -- see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2532
    and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8867.html
    The latter would appear to not relate to using 10.3, but something may be untested with that.
