PDF form - email subject line = field

I am creating a PDF form on our intranet to be filled out and submitted via email with a submit button. All works well, but the recipients would like the subject line of the email to be info from the first field on the form so that it is easily searchable. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 (also have Acrobat 8 Professional) but haven't found anywhere to edit this info. I have read thread referencing possible solutions by utilizing javascript, but I'm not sure where to begin where javascript is concerned (not my forte).
Right now the form is Submitted by Email via a "Button" set to Control Type: Submit. Under the Submit tab I have set the Submit to URL field to - mailto:"emailaddress".
Also, the recipients mentioned that they can't see the PDF in the body of their email, instead its only an attachment. We are all using Outlook and Outlook Webmail and would like to see the PDF in the body. Is there an easy way to accomplish this as well?
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Now I understand what you mean .....if you are using a true submit button then the validations will run automatically. If you are using a button for programming and that is calling the submit button then you will have to fire the validations yourself. The command to do this is:
if
(form1.execValidate()){ SubmitButtonName.execEvent("click")
else {
app.alert("You have validation errors...");
where form1 is the root node of your form. If the validations run and there are no errors then it will return a true value and the submitbutton will be pressed. If there are errors then the message box will appear. and the submit will not occur.
Hope that helps

How do I create a dropdown in the Subject Line field while sending emails.

How do I create a dropdown in the Subject Line field while sending emails as I send more than 300 emails with the same subject line everyday.

Which webmail service do you use, gmail may have problems currently see thread

TS3899 I can't read the body of my email messages in iCloud and thru Internet. Only see to and subject line fields

I'm unable to read the body message of my emails. I've tried reading thru iCloud and also through the web browser of yahoo. It was working right yesterday. Today, I only see the to and subject line fields when I click on it to read.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if they show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Customizing Email Subject Line

Can the email subject line be customized when sending my form? If so how do you change it?

Hi,
FormsCentral doesn't send emails for distributing the form. You, as the form author, are responsible for distributing the form.

Email Subject Line - populating and customising

Hi, There was a forum topic called "
Email Subject Line - populating - Business Catalyst
in the last forum but I can't find it here...
Did anyone find how to use tag's or customise the Email subject line for outgoing system emails? (E.g invoice, quote, workflows etc)
I've tried some tags like order id but they don't work.
The reason we need to customise the subject line is because we use gmail and all the workflows have the same subject so they link together and you can't tell how many emails there are therefore often miss some. Plus all our workflow and system emails seem to be going to our spam so I thought if we could make it customised it would help.

I use gmail, I have thunderbird and this does not happen. The UI interface for google does but you can also stop it from doing that in the admin settings I believe.
Sme other good email clients for mac and oc, paid and free.
You can create folders for go gmail itself and email clients with sorting rules too.
Do not recall seeing guides for rendering tags in the email subject, net seen that and been using bc a long time.

Changin iPhoto Default Email Subject Line

Is there anyway to change the default email subject line, currently set as 'x Great iphotos' when using iphoto in conjunction with my email client to some thing else.

Yep it is that file. just replace
email_subject
in the following line with whatever you want as long as its in quotations eg.
make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"photos", visible:true}
I like the comment in the script-maybe Apple's internal bug reporting system needs to be looked at!
-- We have been having problems with inserting images before the signature. There seems to
-- be some sort of bug with attachments. Even iterating the images backwards and inserting
-- the images at the "beginning" doesn't work for more than 1 images. Strange.
-- Anyway, we note the signature here, remove the signature from the message, and then
-- set the message signature back at the bottom.

How do I add the customer's name to Workflow Notification email subject line?

How do I add the customer's name to Workflow Notification email subject line?
I'm expecting that I need to add a tag, but I'm not sure what the correct tag would be, I have tried a few but it just writes the tag I inserted and not the customer's name.
Thanks

This is something you can not add at the moment. You can change the layout a bit of workflow notifications from the system but you can not change the subjects at this time to render a system tag like that.

How to insert field from form into subject line of email

I have a form:
http://www.mcw.edu/FileLibrary/Groups/HMGC/Forms/HIPAAForms/HumanSequencingTertiaryAnalysi .pdf
and I would like to have the name of the person fill in automatically in the subject line. Right now when the email button is clicked the subject line reads: "Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form." Once the form is filled out, I would like the subject line to read: "[PI-Name] - Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form," (as highlighted below)
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:?subject=[PI-Name] - Submitted Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form&body=Please find attached the completed Human Sequencing Tertiary Analysis Submission Form.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
I read the other discussion on this, but it didn't seem to pertain to me, or I just couldn't figure it out. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Anne

Hi Anne,
This has come up several times on the forum. Most recently here, with links to examples and descriptions as to how it works: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4183125#4183125.

Text field as email subject line or email body

I have a form with a text field. I would like to have the contents of the text field in either the subject of the email or referenced in the body of the email. I am using a submit button for the email.

You might want to look at the event.target.mailDoc method which only works with Acrobat and attached the PDF to the email.
var myDoc = event.target;
var rEmail = TextField1.rawValue;
myDoc.mailDoc(
false,
rEmail, "", "",
"Subject goes here",
"Body goes here."

"returned form...."statement email subject line & body

How do I remove or edit the "returned form...." statement/text in the subject line and body of the email that is automatically generated with the email button?

Hello,
You will have to move away from the "submit form" event and run a javascript. I have attached the script below. Please note that it has a down side it will toggle your local email client by default. I am working on a script that will offer a selection between local and internet based email clients.
// Change these address to the "to" address you want
var cToAddr = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]";
// Change these address to the "bcc" address you want
var cBCCAddr = "[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]";
//Enter what you want to display in the subject line and email body
var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"; var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the mail attachment for your own records";
//** Send the form data as an XML attachment on an e-mail
// Build the e-mail URL
// Change these address to the "to" address you want
var cEmailURL = "mailto:[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]?Bcc=" + cBCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody;
this.submitForm({
cURL: cEmailURL,
cSubmitAs:"PDF",

Submit Form - Change Body of Email & Subject Line

I have my submitt button working correctly on my form and going to the correct email addresses when the button is clicked. However, the subject line and the body of the email are not stating what I want them to. Is there a way to put what you want in the body of the email and subject line? I am using Adobe Prof Version 9.
