Pdf form: attaching Outlook signatures

When using a submit button on a form, the pdf is attached to an email, with automated text in the email "The attached file contains data that was..."
This replaces the automatic email signature I have set in my email application. (it should have appeared automatically)
How do I get the signature to appear as well as/instead of this text automatically?
I need this on there to prompt applicants of my pdf form to insert there Outlook signature.
Thanks in advance,
Olgun

Thanks, Mike.
Its strange because it does allow the following text (below) to go into the body of the email. Do you think it could work with some java/other type scripting?
"The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details."

Ipad app that will fill in pdf form and capture signature with stylus

Hello. I am looking for an application which will allow me to read, edit and fill out pdf forms AND capture a signature on the pdf form with a stylus. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I currently am using an ipad, second generation.

hullo there, i would personally recommend writepdf, i use this myself and you can do all of the above more or less, you can also create customized signatures and insert them into pdfs. i think what i like even more about writepdf is that you can directly edit docs, anyway, definitely look for it on the app store!

Unable to Split pdf form containing Digital Signature using Assembler

Hi All,
I am trying to split a pdf form into multiple forms using Assembler service provided by Adobe LiveCycle. Normal pdf's are getting splitted but facing issues with pdf's containing Digital Signature is there any way to split those forms please suggest ?????
Regards,
Ali

Hello,
We have a livecycle form that allows people to save an image with an image field and other data in some text fields.
The users having problems are using Acrobat Pro XI. They seem to be able to open the form, fill in some data and save the data just fine except for this image.
The image does not display when the user re-opens the form. However, if another user opens that saved form then that user can see the image OK.
Any ideas what might be happening?
Thank you.

LiveCycle: making whole PDF forms attach to email

If I create a form in LiveCycle is there a way to make it attach to an e-mail the same way it does when you add the Submit button in Adobe Acrobat Pro?
When I put a Submit button on the document in LiveCycle it will only send the data as a .xml file, which is not what I want. I want the user to be able to hit submit and have the whole form with the data in it emailed to me: like it does in Adobe Acrobat Pro. Is this possible or do I have to design the whole form in Adobe Acrobat Pro to make this happen?

This was discussed recently here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5133066#5133066
In short, you should use a regular button and configure it to submit the entire PDF.

Multiple digital signatures in a pdf form?

I'm creating an adobe pdf form that requires multiple approvers (one after the other) to digitally sign the form. However, once the second person digitally signs the form, the first person's signature will become invalid because the addition of the second signature is not signed by the first person.
Is it possible to digitally sign the pdf form excluding the signatures? and how to allow multiple signature in a pdf form while ensuring the form integrity?

Hi,
I doubt that the addition of a second signature actually invalidates (the red X icon) the first signature, but rather it shows the signature as Valid with Changes (the pen & yellow triangle icon). Technically, that is the correct signature status, but because it caused so much confusion, beginning with version 9, we've changed the user interface and stopped indicating changes to the PDF if the only change is a subsequent signature.
If on the other hand you are getting the red X for the first signature please let me know as I'd be curious to see the file.

Save & Send PDF Form

Hi all,
I'm trying to program a function in my PDF form that will automaticly save the PDF form in a folder and then sends the (just saved) PDF form attached in an e-mail.
I've got the mail function working with my submit button. The only question is how can i get my PDF form to first save and then send the form?
I've treid several saving scripts but couldn't get it working.
Could you guys help me out?
Kind Regards,
Vincent
Below my code:
// Set up the recipients,subject, body, etc.
var sTo = this.getField("Unit").value;
var sBCC = "[email protected]";
var sSubject = "Nice subject";
var sBody = "Bla bla bla";
// Set the error messge to display if it doesn't work, \r = carriage return
var sErrorMsg = "Could not send email. Please make sure your email client is set up correctly.\r\r";
sErrorMsg += "Otherwise, save this file and manually attach it to an email to: " + sTo +" [email protected]";
// Email the entire document
try {
    mailDoc({
    bUI: true,
    cTo: sTo,
    cBcc: sBCC,
    cSubject: sSubject,
    cMsg: sBody
} catch(e) {
    app.alert(sErrorMsg, 1);

To save with a script, you'll have to use the doc.saveAs method. There are a number of security related issues you'll have to deal with, as discussed here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript

I need buy what productions for PDF forms?

Hi:
My requirement：
1、Adobe Reader can edit and save Pdf forms,can add signature and barcode;
2、I upload pdf file by web upload or by email or copy files；
3、My back-end system(J2EE,Weblogic or Tomcat) receive pdf files ，then extract XML datas from PDF by SDK(Adoble supply ？).
question:
1、I need buy what productions or modules of LiveCycle ES?
2、Adobe supply SDK of extracting XML datas from PDF?

You need to buy LC Forms for this use case. LC forms contains the API to extract data in XML format from the PDF.

Submit PDF form to Servlet

Hello
I have a PDF form with a Submit button which when clicked should post this to a servlet. The servlet should receive the PDF and email it a designated mail box. Since we would like the email to be sent from a dedicated mail address, we are using this approach instead of the Livecycle designer's email button.
The problem now: I have set the Submit As property on the button to PDF and provided my servlet URL in the form using LiveCycle designer.
In my servlet, I have the code "System.out.println(request.getQueryString());" to see what data I am receving. However, everytime I submit the form "null" is being printed on the console. I am not able to understand how to get this filled out PDF form attached and emailed.
Right now, I have the following code in my servlet which is attaching a PDF located on my hard disk to email and this works fine.
messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
DataSource source = new FileDataSource("C:/file.PDF");
But how do I make sure the form that will be received by the Servlet be emailed. Appreciate any help.

Sending Filled PDF Form ONLINE without promting outlook/windowsmail etc

This question has been placed serveral times. But no one seemed to have THE anwers/script for it.
now we all know that a filled pdf form, can be send as an attachment when you click on the submit button. It prompts, your computer mail software and place the e-mail adress and subject on the right place with the filed pdf file attached. That's cool.
And also we know you can save the pdf form on your local disk. Login in your gmail, hotmail or yahoo and attach the saved pdf form file and send it there.
But what I want is something more simpler. The above mention is tricky when someone dont have mail client. I just want the complete filled pdf form, send online (through mailserver?). just the send button. without prompting outlook/windowsmail. Just the submit and send the whole damn thing to the right address.
So what's the script to do so?

I have the same question, did you have any luck finding an answer/script ? It seems like this process its much more complicated than it should be.

Read PDF form from email attachment

Hope someone is able to help on this one...
We are using a pdf form at work to gather some feedback and the user will be submitting the form via email...
Using outlook 2003 I had a crack at writing a vba module to read the pdf form from the email attachment to update into an excel spreadsheet
Is it possible to read pdf forms from the email attachment with outlook vba? Or does the attachment need to be saved to a directory first?
I have in the past done a vba module to save the pdf form attachments to a directory and then using acrobat and it's in-built form data collection tool and exported as a csv, but this feedback form will be an ongoing thing that will be updated daily - and to minimise handling would like to run the outllook macro that reads straight from the email attachment instead of doing another 3 or so steps...
Below is the snippet I am using - it's a mashup of different code I've found on the net

Schedule appointment in outlook with submit button in pdf form

Hi All,
One of our client wants that when submit button is clicked on the pdf form, an appointment should be created in outlook of a pre-specified email address.
I am aware that we can submit the form by email. Is it somehow possible, that instead of normal email with attachment, we can send an appointment email.
Looking forward to a response.
Many Thanks,
Akanksha

I don't think this is possible. The only thing you can do from
Acrobat/Reader is create a new email draft, not anything else.

Send PDF form to e-mail as attachment with a PHP script on the server

Hi,
For several days I've been searching though the internet looking for a solution, a quite simple one in my opinion, but I got a little desperate not getting any result I want.
Okay. The Situation.
I have a PDF form to order sandwiches and drinks.
The PDF has serveral area's and columns where customers fill in the amount of the products they would like to order.
At a position of a field, the kitchen can almost blindly see what products a customer ordered.
Therefore, when someone fills in the form, I want to send the filled PDF by e-mail to the kitchen's e-mail adress. And important: the PDF in the kitchen's mailbox should be completely identical to the form the customer filled in.
So, I have an Order button in my form. I set the action as 'Submit a form'.
In the settings under 'Enter a URL for this link' I used just some PHP mailer script I also use on my website contact form.
IF I check 'HTML' under 'Export Format' the PHP mailer works fine. I receive an HTML e-mail listed the ordered products.
BUT
I do want the original filled PDF in my mailbox instead of an HTML e-mail.
So, for 'Export Format' I checked 'PDF The Complete Document'.
But then my PHP mailer script doesn't work anymore.
It gives errors like 'no valid e-mail adres' , etcetera etcetera.
Who has a solution?
Who has a working standard PHP script for me what just sends the kitchen an empty mail with the original PDF as attachment?!
There is no need to use any database or other more complex functionality. Just mail the filled PDF.

You can submit whole PDF format as long as you enable usage rights on the PDF.
Normally Adobe Reader users can only submit the data, XFDF, FDF, XDP, XML.
To enable usage rights on the PDF you will need to use Adobe Acrobat Std/Pro.
As for the PHP Script; it depends on your PHP web server capabilities.
The script will be slightly different, if the server uses PHP Mail or PHP PEAR.
Just attach the submission to an email and send.
If the client is submitting the form from a standalone pdf reader app, you can also respond with a success or failure FDF \status message; otherwise, you can redirect to a success / failure URL.

I am unable to attach PDFs to Hotmail/Outlook email using my FF browser today. Never had issue before today.

1. I am unable to attach pdfs today in Outlook/Hotmail email using my Firefox browser (27.0.1). I keep getting an error message that says, "The file is not a picture and can't be inserted inline." I do not understand why I keep getting this error message. I am not attempting to insert an image. I am selecting to Insert Files as Attachments from the drop down menu.
No matter how many times I attempt to attach various pdfs to my emails today using Firefox as my browser, I keep getting this same error message. I have cleared the cache, cleared all cookies, cleared all history, signed out of my Hotmail/Outlook account, signed back in, restarted computer, etc., to no avail. Same problem.
2. I switched to my Safari browser, and have no problem attaching pdfs in my Hotmail/Outlook email account. The pdfs are attaching perfectly as usual. My emails are being sent normally with the attachments. The attached pdfs are being received and are opening perfectly as intended.
3. Why am I unable to attach files with Firefox today? Firefox is my browser of choice and I have used it with my Hotmail/Outlook email account without any problems, till today. Please help me! Thank you!

Thank you jscher2000. Yes my PDFs do contain the .pdf extension. I tried your excellent idea to utilize the drag and drop method, but I still get the same error message with PDFs. I have no problem attaching photos or Word documents with either method; just PDFs.
For further diagnostics, I started composing my email in Safari, attached all my pdfs and saved my email as a Draft. I then went to Firefox, opened the draft to continue working on it, and voila! There are all the pdfs I attached previously while in Safari. I was able to send the email with attachments through Firefox with no issues. The attachments went through and were able to be opened.
I am mystified, as Firefox has been trouble-free with my email account, and I have never had this particular issue till today. I made no changes to anything else on my computer, but I did notice very late last night that Outlook had one of those typical messages at the top of my Inbox to refresh my browser since Outlook had been updated. I refreshed and shut down for the night, and when I rebooted this morning that is when I discovered this brand new glitch with attachments. I'm assuming this has something to do their last update.

.pdf is missing when send as email attachment (Outlook) from Adobe Reader 11.0.06

The PDF is streamed from our webserver application to an IFRAME in Internet Explorer 9.
The headers Content-type (application/pdf), Content-disposition (random-unique-filename.pdf), Content-length are all set.
Acrobat Reader plugin opens up inside the IFRAME and presents the PDF without problems.
When our users try "Send file as email attachment" Outlook 2010 opens up and the file is attached - without the file extension.
The name of the attachment is the same name as the Java Servlet that delivered the streamed file.
If we save the streamed PDF to disc, open it in Acrobat and do the same maneuver - the file extension is added to the attached file name in Outlook.

We have the same problem !
Tested this today with adobe reader 9.5.x , file is attached as "filename.do.pdf"
If we use adobe reader 11.0.x file is attached as "filename.do"
If you use save file as , it does get the "pdf" extension automatically
Solution appreciated !
