Offline Interactive PDF Forms Using EMail with WebDynpro for ABAP

These is a tutorial on implementing Offline Interactive PDF Forms using Email to both send out and receive the form back using WebDynpro for Java.
Is it possible to implement the same using WebDynpro for ABAP, specifically receiving the forms via email server.

Send PDF form to email address user enters in textfield on form.

I would like to be able to allow the person using the form to choose what email address the PDF form is emailed to. I read this post which sounds like what I want but I keep getting a Submit Cancelled error. The email does get generated and the form is attached as a PDF so that part works okay.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4167414#4167414
This is the code I am using as I only need the To: address populated.
form1.Page1.Button1::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
var strToAddress
//Capture the values from the form fields.
strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

Hi,
There is an example here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ.
// Declare the variable
var vEmail;
// Check that the email field is not null
if (txtToAddress.rawValue !== null) {
vEmail = txtToAddress.rawValue;
// Send email
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: " + vEmail + "?subject=&body=",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});

How can I get a PDF form to email to me when it is hosted online?

Ok, I'm not a coding expert, but I understand CSS and html alright.
I am trying to create a PDF form for my website: www.pantherapressdesign.com.
I have already created the forms (they are under the purchase section of the site) and when they are saved to the harddrive they work just fine. HOWEVER, when you fill them out and they open in the browser they will not submit to me (aka. I don't get them by email, even though the submit button correctly re-directs you to the thanks page).
In the fuctions of the submit button I have it set to mailto:[email protected]
When the form is saved on the hard drive (I open it from the desktop) and click submit it brings up a dialog box and asks me how I want to send it. I then choose desktop mail service, it opens it in an email and sends it.
I want customers to be able to click the form from the website - fill it out right there in the browser - and then be able to submit it to me that way.
I am assuming I must route this through the php or something, but am not sure how to do that. I have the php working for the contact from on the website, but I don't know php so I used pre-written code to do that. Is there some simple code I can drop into my php that will handle these forms? Help, please! Thanks

I looked at the Stationary form, and there are a number of things you need to change. It is currently set up to submit as "HTML", as opposed to FDF, XFDF, or the entire PDF. This is fine if you're submitting the form to a web server, which can read the field data, place it in an email, and send it off. This is actually much preferred to relying on the user's machine being set up properly to send an email. Many are not and not receiving order that someone thought was submitted will be bad for your business. Consider removing the existing forms today and you can update when they are working.
Your web hosting service likely has a PHP script that is designed to work with HTML forms and send an email with the form data included. This can work with a PDF form if the form is correctly set up. To do that, you will need to know how the script works and what it is expecting in the way of form data when it processes a submission. The PHP script should also be modified to send an appropriate response back to the user, which can be a simple redirect. The way you have it now with a link to the redirect page is wrong. It goes there whether the form is complete or not and whether the email actually got sent. This can be avoided by having the web server take care of this.
If you don't have the expertise to modify the form to suit the PHP script and PHP script to suit the workflow, you'll need to find someone who does.

Elementary Problem With Submitting A PDF Form Via Email?

Hello all!
I'm brand new to creating forms with Adobe. I have Acrobat X Pro. I have created a form with multiple fields to fill in and placed a button at the top of the form. Under button properties I selected the submit a form option under the actions tab and chose to email the entire pdf file. Where it says enter a URL for this link I put mailto: and my email address.
When I click on the submit button I choose the desktop application option as I use Outlook exchange. (that could be the problem?) I click on the ok button and immediately get a pop up box that says "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default client.
I have no idea how to fix this issue or if I'm creating the submit form improperly. My goal is to get an exact copy of the completed Adobe form emailed to the specified email address. Any help would be much appreciated!
Mike

To answer some of your specific questions:
2, 3. The submit form button needs to be on the PDF. You can either configure a Submit Form action or use the submitForm JavaScript method.
4, 6: No to both questions. You can create the form in Acrobat. Such forms are knows as Acroforms, as opposed to XFA forms that are created with LiveCycle Designer. Acroforms have wider support.
5: Yes, that's the method that's used when submitting to a web server. You have your choice of formats. The "HTML Form" option causes the form data to be submitted in the same format as an HTML form, so the same type of server-side code can be used to process the data. As Dave's tutorial shows, the server should return an FDF as the response, however, as opposed to HTML content.
It's a mistake to try to embed the PDF in a web page. So much depends on the user's browser, PDF viewer, and how both are configured. PDF forms can be submitted directly from Adobe Reader/Acrobat, so it's not necessary for them to be viewed in a browser. Note that Adobe Reader for iOS/Android don't yet support submitting to a web server (apart from FormsCentral), but that's is supposedly being worked on.
Since you mentioned digital signatures, be aware that for Reader users to be able to sign, the document has to be Reader-enabled, either with Acrobat Pro or LiveCycle Reader Extensions (which is not the same as LiveCycle Designer). Digital signatures in PDF forms are not yet supported on mobile devices. Also, you will want to submit the entire PDF, as opposed to just the form data, when submitting a digitally signed form.

Can I send a PDF with the email notification?

I paid for the $0.99 basic subscription to try out FormsCentral since there is no free trial. My organization would like to have the completed PDFs included in the Notifications, and I can't seem to find a way to do that. Is this possible?

Hi Anubha,
Thanks for your reply.
I tried sending myself a pdf document with comments from one email account and I sent it to another email account. I still get the same problem. I basically receive a pdf document with no comments.
Am I doing something wrong?

HR: Send Salary Receipt, as PDF form, by EMAIL

Hello friends,
Soon I'm having the requirement of sending the employee salary receipt (and probably anual income declaration), as a PDF document, by email. I think it can be done with SAP XI, changing the print program of the current smartform, to send an assyncronous message with an attachment, to employee email.
But I want to know if there is a better way (with some customizing). After searching, I found that I will need to create infotype 105 (comunication), subtype 0010 (email) to mantain employee email. However, I could not find any automatic way to create the pdf and send by email (like output type '5' - external send - in sales order, for example, where the system automatically send the script/smartform by email, converting automatically to pdf).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Valter Oliveira.

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

Button to send filled out form as completed pdf form via email

I have created a form that when filled out, should send the form by email to the recipient as a completed pdf form. It works with Adobe Acrobat but not Reader.
Any Ideas?
form can be found at: http://www.lcyc.ca/images/stories/macman2012/macmanentry.pdf

Check out:
http://www.nk-inc.com/macmanentry.pdf
Use your real name, and e-mail address in the PDF form fields, and recieve a customized email copy and response.
The script will parse and merge the XDP submission, so there's no need to Reader Enable your forms.
PDFEmail.net works in ASP.net web servers.
Note: Do not submit sensitive information, this is just a demo. I may get a BCC of the form.

Is there a way to attach files linked in FormCentral form to email notifications?

As part of my FormCentral form design, the end User is required to link a file (copy of Purchase Order). Is there a way of forcing this file to attach to the email notifications? I can obviously see the file attachments in the backend and download from there, but it would be preferable if I could deliver with the email notification to circumvent other processes.
Any suggetsions?

Sorry this is not possible to have the files attached to the email notification.

The updated Adobe Reader App on the iPad will not flatten a PDF Form before emailing.

My iPad automatically updated and since that update, we cannot fill in PDF forms and flatten to share via email. When we share via email it shares the original file. The help section shows that option to flatten the file, but when actually performing the functions it just automatically attaches the document to the email without that security option. Has anyone run into this issue? How did you resolve it?

As an update, I am finding that I can still send documents via email (and given the option to flatten) if the document was already in my adobe prior to this update, even if I changed the document. However, If I am opening a new document right now from dropbox or some other source and editing and saving it to adobe, it will only email the original blank document.

Trouble distributing PDF Form. Emailing fails

I have an PDF form I created and wish to distribute to my clients. Once filled out I would like them to return the complete form to me via email. When I choose distribute form in the forms menu to send it to my recipients. I get an error "Failed to send the form to recipients" I am stymied. I cannot figure out why I can launch this feature.
I have ask clients to complete the form and try to attach it to an email, but that defeats the whole procedure, generally confusing my client.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Someone suggested I upgrade to a newer version of Acrobat. That seems to suggest that the feature does not work in Acrobat 9 which I believe is incorrect.
Any Help is appreciated.

It's not clear to me where the problem is. Is it when you try to send the form to recipients, or when they try to click the Submit button to send the form back to you? It certainly can work with a form created in Acrobat 9, but it may not work with certain email clients. You may find that a good number of users don't even have an email client set up, and many may use a web-based email client (e.g., gmail and the like). If it doesn't work, manually attaching the document to an email is the workaround. Such is the nature of an email-based workflow.
Some users may be using something other than Acrobat/Reader to interact with the form, such as the Preview application on the Mac, which also will not work. The Preview application actually corrupts PDF forms in a number of ways and it doesn not support JavaScript or digital signatures. When you get such a corrupted form back, text (and other) fields will appear to be blank. For more information on this, see: http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/885/cpsid_88564.html

Submitting PDF form through email

I created an order form PDF a year ago (with Acrobat Pro 8) for a client's website with a button to submit the form through email. The customers can fill out the order form in Acrobat Reader 8 and email the PDF to my client's email. Now that doesn't seem to work anymore - an illegal operation message comes up. I've changed the action for the button to submit the order form as a FDF file but the form data is not found once the email is sent. I've found the FDF Toolkit but have no idea what to do with it. Is there a simpler way for customers to fill out the form and email it to my client?

Sure. Just enable the form so Reader users can save it when it's finished then instruct them to do so and attach it to an email.
