Need to avoid Select Email Client dialog when submitting Acrobat X form

We are using Windows 7 / Office 2010 32-bit with Adobe Pro X, and have found that when creating a PDF from a Word 2010 document (via either print or convert or Word PDF or XPS), then using Acrobat to create a form from it, when we apply the action Submit a Form, the finished product presents users with a Select Email Client dialog.  The choices within the dialog are Desktop or Internet email.  We are using a direct email address, not a server location.  This happens even when NOT using the Distribute wizard.  Outlook is confirmed as the email choice in Adobe Preferences Internet Settings.  Anyone encounter this issue and have a fix or workaround?  We want the email to auto-create as it does in our XP / Acrobat 8 Pro environment without a dialog presentation.
Thanks for any and all thoughts!

Yes, you are right that is the way to go.  Thank you!
I have tested and am now using successfully:
// Set email address
var cToAddr = "%email.address%";
// Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Survey Response";
var cBody = "Message body text";
// Send the form data as a PDF attachment in an e-mail message
this.mailDoc({bUI: false, cTo: cToAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});

  • EmailSubmitButton's "Select Email Client" dialog different in Reader XI?

    With Adobe Reader X we used to get a dialog looking as below:
    When selecting Internet Email one was offered to save the file as XML.
    With Reader XI it looks like (in Swedish):
    In this dialog there seems to be no way of saving the data as XML. Instead it is required the user has a web account and knows all the IMAP/SMTP details of this account.
    Can anyone confirm this is actually a change that has been made in Reader XI? Is there any way of still saving data to an XML file from the EmailSubmitButton?
    Many thanks,
    Henrik

    In Preferences | Email Accounts, specify a Webmail / Gmail address and make it the default.

  • Submit Button Acrobat 9 Pro & Select Email Client Screen

    I'm new to Acrobat and creating forms and need help.  I've created a few forms for work using 8 Pro, which have been successful.  I decided to purchase 9 Pro for home and use for our school's PTU membership drive.
    I created a form using a Word doc and the Acrobat Form Wizard.  It worked, I adjusted my fields, added a Submit button with mailto:[email protected] as the URL and want to distribute the form as "save and distribute later."  This works.  When I bring up the form for a test run, and submit to myself I get a pop up asking to Select Email Client - do I use Outlook (a few others are also listed) or Yahoo or Hotmail as my email servers.  If I click Outlook, everything is fine, the document gets forwarded to me with no problem (because I use Outlook).  My concern is for members who don't use Outlook (or the others).  They have to go through more steps by saving the doc to their hard drive and emailing it to me as an attachment.  I would really like to avoid extra steps for them.
    It there a something I'm missing in setting up my Submit button so it automatically gets emailed to me irregardless as to what they are using for email server?
    I have searched for 2 hours and have come up with nothing that I understand.  If you respond, please remember to be clear as I'm not a techno person.
    Thanks for ANY and ALL help you can provide.

    You are running into some of the classic problems/concerns for new users with forms. I will try to summarize the issues related to your work:
    1. You can create forms directly in Acrobat under the TOOLS menu using the form tools found there, or by selecting the options in the FORMS menu that generally take you to LiveCycle Designer. Questions on the forms should be put to the appropriate forum of these two, since the processing and menus are different.
    2. Having the forms be allowed to be saved (necessary for submitting the full form and not just the data that can be imported to the form) requires Reader Rights to be activated for clients using Reader. This activation limits the form use to 500 uses (check section 15 of the EULA for more details) that could be a problem for you, depending on the school size. If you have the form data submitted and do not activate the Rights, then there is not a limitation. Simply import the XML or FDF file into the form when you get it.
    3. The e-mail submission you have concerns about is valid. If you do not mind getting questions that it would not work on their machine, then fine. The e-mail submission will not work on all machines (PC , MAC, or UNIX). It depends on the client setup (you have no control), historically requiring MAPI to be active (typical of Outlook, but not other packages). In AA9/AR9 there appear to have been some extensions to this, but a lot of folks use version 9. In fact I have a different version that has come on every machine I have and do not have AA9 yet (AA4-AA8), with even older versions lying around some place. A few weeks ago someone checked in who was using AA4. Since I mentioned this problem, the solutions are:
    a. live with it and ask folks who can not submit to copy the info into the body of an e-mail or such.
    b. find someone who can add the proper scripts to a web server to receive the data. The school IT folks (if any) might be able to help there.
    c. submit the data in HTML form through a cgi-mail or formmail server that is available on many ISP servers (you may have to ask). These servers require some hidden fields telling the server where to send the submitted form data.
    Hope that helps. Bill

  • Submit by email bypass Select Email client

    I would like to bypass the Select Email Client screen that pops up when you use the submit by email button and automatically have it choose OTHER so that the XML data can be saved to a network drive.
    Is there a way while doing this that I can also have a pop up message that tells the user how to name the file and proper directory in which to place the file?

    No, I don't think this is possible. You could submit the document via HTTP to a servlet (or some server side component) and then email the XDP from there there, or do whatever you want with it. That would be transparent to the user, and I believe this is what Aandi is refering to.
    If you email the document, it will ask the user how they want to email it, ie: desktop mail client, web mail, etc.

  • How do you change the Selected Email Client

    I have created a form that submits XML data by email.
    The first time you click the "Submit by Email" button, a dialogue box opens up and asks you to select one of 3 options: "Desktop Email Application", "Internet Email" or "Other".
    The problem that is occurring is that people will either not read the statement or out of ignorance select "Desktop Email Application" when in fact they have internet based email. There is no apparent way to go back and reset this preference.
    Does anyone know where this preference is stored and how to change it?
    Alternatively, does anyone know how to generate the XML file by an alternate method that could be saved and then attached to an email?
    This has been a major problem that has prevented the use of this form, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This setting is handled by your Operating System.  On Winddows (Win7) you go to Control Panel->Programs->Default Programs->Set Default Programs.  On OS X you set this using the preferences of you email client.  For example launch Mail and go to Mail->Preferences->General.  The first setting is for default email client.
    Hope this helps.

  • Prevent show 'select download folder' dialog when click export csv button in a flash-based website

    I want to download csv file from a flash-based website. When i click the button with export icon, Firefox always pop up dialog box with title 'select download folder for ...'. I have set up default download folder and uncheck 'always ask me where to save files'. If i download from other websites (not a flash one) then the download automatically started without pop up folder selection dialog. I want to prevent firefox from showing download folder selection dialog because i need to use it for web automation. by the way, i use ubuntu 12.04 with firefox 21.0. I have used flashgot extension but still no luck. Any suggestion about this?

    I already have followed the instruction above, but still no luck. The dialog still appear. I think this is not a regular download link since it's made with flash. It's look like an export button which will force browser to pop up 'select folder location' dialog and when i click save then there is no download progress like usual, the file just saved automatically. I think the file itself is rendered when the flash website loaded, and then embeded into the web page. When i download, it didn't send any request, it just get the embeded file.

  • Why do I get "Select Input Method" dialog when trying to open tabs on some sites?

    This is what I'm experiencing with Firefox mobile on an Android tablet.
    On some sites, when I click a button which should open a new tab, I get the "Select Input Method" dialog box. First, I don't know why this dialog is popping up. Second, it is an empty dialog; there is nothing to select, only a heading that says "Select Input Method". When I touch the heading, I get another "Select Input Method" dialog, this time with "Android Keyboard" as the sole item to be selected. It is already selected. Touching it or backing up to dismiss it leaves me on the page I started on. Touching the original button which should open a new tab simply repeats the entire dialog sequence. Backing up from the original, empty dialog, does the same thing.
    Once or twice, by magic or something, I was able to get the page to open the new tab. But I cannot confirm what sequence of selecting or backing up out of the dialogs may have led to the correct behavior.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    kbrosnan,
    Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
    My wife is working on a project so I'm a little light on details. Apparently she figured out that her Javascript is calling ShowModalDialog and this was what was causing the Select Input Method dialog to open. I don't fully understand the details but she's looking for a different way to do this. I believe she said she subsequently found out that the Firefiox mobile browser doesn't support ShowModalDialog.
    She's new to mobile web development (and I know nothing about it) so she's kind of feeling her way. If you have a good resource for how the FF Android mobile browser differs from the normal desktop browser, that wouldbe a big help, I think. Otherwise, thanks for you reply and she'll keep plugging away discovering what she needs to change in her program to make it work for mobile.
    Thanks.

  • Create a confirmation popup dialog when submitting a form

    Hi all,
    I have a simple business : ask a question (yes/no) to a user when he is submitting a form.
    This form is an "ADF Form (11g)" and is displayed in a inline dialog. It is triggered for an EntityView when user clicks on an edit button of a table row.
    I've tried lot of different solutions but it never works.
    Let me tell you about these:
    Solution 1: Adding a showPopupBehavior
        <af:document id="d1">
          <af:messages id="m1"/>
          <af:form id="f1">
            <af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1">
              <af:inputDate value="#{bindings.Datedeb.inputValue}" label="From:" required="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.mandatory}" shortDesc="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.tooltip}" id="id2">
                <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Datedeb.validator}"/>
                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.Datedeb.format}"/>
              </af:inputDate>
           <!-- ... -->
              <f:facet name="footer">
                <af:group id="g1">
                  <af:commandButton text="Submit" id="cb1">
                    <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="p1" />
                    <af:returnActionListener/>
                  </af:commandButton>
                  <af:popup id="p1">
                    <af:dialog id="d2" title="Assistance" type="yesNo" dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.dialogBackingBean.mustClosePreviousAddress}">
                      <af:outputText value="Do you want to close the previous adress automatically ? " id="ot1"/>
                    </af:dialog>
                  </af:popup>
                </af:group>
              </f:facet>
            </af:panelFormLayout>
          </af:form>
        </af:document>The issue is that the +<af:returnActionListener/>+ is never triggered and the form do not close.
    Solution 2: Adding a showPopupBehavior and change the triggerType
        <af:document id="d1">
          <af:messages id="m1"/>
          <af:form id="f1">
            <af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1">
              <af:inputDate value="#{bindings.Datedeb.inputValue}" label="From:" required="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.mandatory}" shortDesc="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.tooltip}" id="id2">
                <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Datedeb.validator}"/>
                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.Datedeb.format}"/>
              </af:inputDate>
           <!-- ... -->
              <f:facet name="footer">
                <af:group id="g1">
                  <af:commandButton text="Submit" id="cb1">
                    <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="p1" triggerType="click" />
                    <af:returnActionListener/>
                  </af:commandButton>
                  <af:popup id="p1">
                    <af:dialog id="d2" title="Assistance" type="yesNo" dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.dialogBackingBean.mustClosePreviousAddress}">
                      <af:outputText value="Do you want to close the previous adress automatically ? " id="ot1"/>
                    </af:dialog>
                  </af:popup>
                </af:group>
              </f:facet>
            </af:panelFormLayout>
          </af:form>
        </af:document>By reading in your forum I find this solution to be able to initiate a popup and execute the commandButton action by adding the triggerType="click" on the showPopupBehavior.
    The issue then is that the dialog get closed without waiting for a user response on the popup dialog (yes/no)
    Solution 3: Adding aAdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, null); in my dialog listener
        <af:document id="d1">
          <af:messages id="m1"/>
          <af:form id="f1">
            <af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1">
              <af:inputDate value="#{bindings.Datedeb.inputValue}" label="From:" required="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.mandatory}" shortDesc="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.tooltip}" id="id2">
                <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Datedeb.validator}"/>
                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.Datedeb.format}"/>
              </af:inputDate>
           <!-- ... -->
              <f:facet name="footer">
                <af:group id="g1">
                  <af:commandButton text="Submit" id="cb1">
                    <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="p1" triggerType="click" />
                  </af:commandButton>
                  <af:popup id="p1">
                    <af:dialog id="d2" title="Assistance" type="yesNo" dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.dialogBackingBean.mustClosePreviousAddress}">
                      <af:outputText value="Do you want to close the previous adress automatically ? " id="ot1"/>
                    </af:dialog>
                  </af:popup>
                </af:group>
              </f:facet>
            </af:panelFormLayout>
          </af:form>
        </af:document>
      public void mustClosePreviousAddress(DialogEvent dialogEvent)
        //Business logic
        AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().returnFromDialog(null, null);
      }It looks like it work and close the dialog when click on yes/no on the popup dialog but the value are not submitted and the data model do not change.
    Solution 4: Sendind an ActionEvent on the button when user has made his selection
        <af:document id="d1">
          <af:messages id="m1"/>
          <af:form id="f1">
            <af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1">
              <af:inputDate value="#{bindings.Datedeb.inputValue}" label="From:" required="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.mandatory}" shortDesc="#{bindings.Datedeb.hints.tooltip}" id="id2">
                <f:validator binding="#{bindings.Datedeb.validator}"/>
                <af:convertDateTime pattern="#{bindings.Datedeb.format}"/>
              </af:inputDate>
           <!-- ... -->
              <f:facet name="footer">
                <af:group id="g1">
                  <af:commandButton text="Submit" id="cb1" binding="#{backingBeanScope.dialogBackingBean.cb1}">
                    <af:showPopupBehavior popupId="p1" />
                    <af:returnActionListener/>
                  </af:commandButton>
                  <af:popup id="p1">
                    <af:dialog id="d2" title="Assistance" type="yesNo" dialogListener="#{backingBeanScope.dialogBackingBean.mustClosePreviousAddress}">
                      <af:outputText value="Do you want to close the previous adress automatically ? " id="ot1"/>
                    </af:dialog>
                  </af:popup>
                </af:group>
              </f:facet>
            </af:panelFormLayout>
          </af:form>
        </af:document>
      public void mustClosePreviousAddress(DialogEvent dialogEvent)
        //Business logic
        cb1.queueEvent(new ActionEvent(cb1));
      }The same as foor the third solution, it looks like it work and close the dialog when click on yes/no on the popup dialog but the value are not submitted and the data model do not change.
    I've verified with an actionListener, the actionEvent received when the user click on the button is exactly the same as the one i've dispatched manually.
    Can you help me with a solution adressing this issue?
    Best regards,
    Alex

    Mmm something like this ?
        public void newDialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
            if (dialogEvent.getOutcome().name().equals("ok")) {
                this.getBindings().getOperationBinding("Commit").execute();
                    // Do something
        }

  • How to avoid the "Save As" dialog when using "Close Button"

    Hello All,
    I am facing a problem while closing a pdf file.
    I am using the following code to Open a pdf file.
    CAcroApp objAcroApp = new AcroAppClass();
    CAcroAVDoc objAVDoc = new AcroAVDoc();
    objAVDoc.Open(C:\\new.pdf,Sample);
    objAcroApp.Show();
    After opening the document I am **** some changes (adding markup) in the file.
    Then I am closing the file using the Close Button and in YES for the save confirmation dialog.
    Here is the problem.
    After giving YES, I am getting a Save As dialog with "Sample.pdf" in the FileName box.
    I am getting this only in Acrobat 9.0.
    When I tried the same in Acrobat 8.0 I didnt get Save As dialog. It saved with out "Save As" dialog in "C:\\new.pdf".
    I need to give the same behavior in both Acrobat 9.0 and 8.0.
    Please help me out to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    In what you have posted, there is no reason it shouldn't work the same way in Acrobat 9. I would recommend that you submit your complete application to developer support.

  • Iphone 5 Email client fails when connecting to server with certs signed by personal CA

    My mail resides on my own server with its own private CA that was used to sign the email server cert.
    I used sendmail and CA and certs were created with below commands:
    CA -newca
    openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -keyout sendmail_req.pem -out sendmail_req.pem
    openssl ca -out sendmail_cert.pem -infiles sendmail_req.pem
    Before I switched to iphone 5 I had Iphone 3s and all worked fine.
    I would get a notification: cannot verify server identity, but after clicking continue all would work fine.
    The client would connect on port 993 to receive email and on port 587 to send.
    Now on iphone 5 I get error: Cannot verify Server Identity with no prompt to accept the cert.
    Is there any work around for it?
    I tried to export the cert from I mac and import to iphone but still no luck.
    It looks like since iphone 4 the certs not issues by legal CA's don't work?
    thx

    I fixed that by getting certs from: https://www.startssl.com/?app=1.
    The certs are free and work fine.
    Since Iphone 4 apple does not accept unknown CA Authorities.
