Populate submit button target email with field?

Hi, this may have already been asked. Is it possible to populate a submit button email target using the contents of another field / text box?
Say I have emailfield1 and submitbutton1. Is it possible to have submitbutton1 target = emailfield1? I'd like a way of generating a reply to whichever email address is keyed in emailfield1.
Thanks

Acrobat can't send its own emails so it has to call an email client.
Unfortunately this is quite flaky and doesn't always work. It seems to work most well with Outlook but I've found it can depend on the operating system - on my Win7 64bit system it doesn't work. And I could never get it to work with Thunderbird.
Also, it doesn't work if someone is using web-based email.

Help with submit button, signatures and locking fields

https://acrobat.com/#d=sCcToPsLqquP0uePmVL1pQhttp://https://acrobat.com/#d=ZsRL5CeME*4iV3VHnvUFXw
Well here's a doozy for ya. I have no idea what I'm doing as you will be able to see when you look at my form.
What I want to happen is to have the user fill out the form, choose the operations manager and select submit button associated with the drop down box. All other dropdown boxes and submit buttons should be hidden. I need the form to lock so there are no edits except the signature field, the next dropdown box and submit button. I'd like to customize the email with a specific subject line and specify the email address based on the person selected from the drop down box. I'd like this to repeat itself until there are no more signature fields left. It is very important that this document follow the order specified.
I tried to use an example Niall put out there to use regular buttons as submit buttons with script. I changed a couple things and it worked to submit the form based on the person selected but I still do not know how to lock the fields. Long story short, I broke what did work and don't know how to do what I really want to do or fix what had once worked. I don't understand javascript so please, if you're willing to help teach me, be patient and spell it out like i'm speaking a foreign language.
Oh boy, even I don't want to do this. What a mess!

I believe that you should re-post this in either the Forms or the Designer forum. You are more likely to get the right folks to look at it there.
Generally this forum is for building custom Document Service Component (DSC) plugins that extend the LiveCycle ES server side product.

Hi all I am having some dificulty with a submit button for emailing a PDF

I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 to create an order form with a submit by email button at the end.
The button works fine and emails the form to sales@*.ie. My problem is the form is editable by the receipt which I dont want.
Is there a way of creating a pre submit script to change the file to read only or non-interactive and removing the print and submit buttons.
I have been at this for hours and have looked every where and have not found anything.
I am new to this and would appreciate the help.
Thanks

Thanks, That worked
I was pulling my hair out

Using the Submit button to Email

I was previously using Frontpage and I have just recently
started using DW so a lot of this is still new to me. I did get the
DW8 for dummies book which is helping a lot, although I know being
a member on a forum like this will help much more. So any help is
very much appreciated.
I am new to this site and did a quick search but I wasn't
able to find what I was looking for.
I am basically planning on creating an order form using basic
radio buttons and name, address, contact info, etc... fields.
I wanted to have a button on the batton (like the submit
button) that a customer could click on after filling out the
specific fields and then the whole page/order form (with its
contents) would be emailed to me.
Could the "Submit" be used to do this? I know in the DW 8 for
Dummies book it mentions that the Submit button is for credit card
processing companies to send the info and then come back with the
results, but I just want it to email the completed page/order form
so the credit card can be processed in the office.

"mailto:[email protected]" type of

It is that simple. However, it is very unreliable. For it to
work, the
visitor filling out the form has to have a properly
configured email client,
that works with the webpage form. That leaves out people
using webmail
services and those using public computers. And- most
computers will put up
a warning screen that the form data is being sent by an
insecure method and
give the person a choice to send or cancel.

Setting up a form processing script can be very simple.
First step- check your hosting's support/FAQ section for info
about forms
and scripts.
if your hosting has a control panel or CPanel, look there for
a
pre-installed script and instructions on using it.
The free kaosmailer extension at
http://kaosweaver.com will create
the
scripting for you, within dreamweaver, for your choice of
asp/php/coldfusion. (pick the one your hosting supports)
A php script is phpformmail at
http://boaddrink.com
An asp script is at
http://www.brainjar.com/asp/formmail/
A cgi/Perl script would be at
http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net
(but it would
be my last choice, a php script would be far easier to set
up)
Any further specifics totally depend on what scripting method
you can use on
this hosting, and on what script you want to use.

Submit button and using form fields

Hello all, I'm a bit new to using LiveCycle. I created a form in acrobat. I have all my fields working properly but I ran into a snag. Seems as though people with reader can't open and fill in my form because of a saving issue. So I figured... let's try LiveCycle. I opened the same form.
This is what I can figure out: I need a submit button that can attach the current pdf to a new email and then grab some of the field values from the form. These field values are used to fill in the subject and the "To" field in outlook. I had a button that could do this in acrobat, but it doesn't seem to work in LiveCycle. Can someone please offer some guidance? Thanks so much.
This is what I had on the acrobat form that worked before LiveCycle if it helps at all (used from an adobe sample):
// This is the form return e-mail. Its hardcoded
   // The form will return to the manager chosen from the dropdown bob
   var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
   // First, get the client CC e-mail address
   var cCCAddr = this.getField("manager").value;
   // Now get the beneficiary e-mail only if it is filled out
   var cBenAddr = this.getField("PlaceHolderEmail").value;
   // Get the name and req number
   var cName = this.getField("EmployeeName").value;
   var cNumber = this.getField("Department").value;
   // Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
   var cSubLine = "Absence Notification - " + cName + " - " + cNumber;
   var cBody = "Thank you for submitting this form.\n" +
               "Save the mail attachment as a record";
   //** Send the form data as an PDF attachment on an e-mail
   // Build the e-mail URL
   var cEmailURL = "mailto:" + cCCAddr + "?cc=" + cBenAddr
                 + "&subject=" + cSubLine
                 + "&body=" + cBody;
   this.submitForm({cURL: cEmailURL, cSubmitAs:"PDF", cCharSet:"utf-8"});

Here is a sample form for your reference..
https://acrobat.com/#d=CK4QgXn38l49bzQlhWtKSA
You need to use the rawValue to get the field value in LiveCycle..
for example
      // First, get the client CC e-mail address
     var cCCAddr = manager.rawValue;
Thanks

Acrobat Form Submit button not working with Reader

I created a form using Acrobat Pro 9 with a submit button function. When I email the form to users they are only allowed to submit the form if they have Acrobat Standard or Pro. For users that have Acrobat Reader they are able to open complete the fields and print the document but are unable to use the submit function. They receive the following message "This operation is not permitted".
I need all Adobe users including Reader to be able to submit this form. How do I fix this?
Help is greatly appreciated!!

You need to Reader-enable the form in Acrobat by selecting: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
This is because the form needs to be saved before it is attached to an email, and Reader normally cannot save a modified form. Reader 11 is able to save a modified form, however.

Submit Button and Email Ady issu

hi all .. i have an issue here.. I would like to insert two
email addresses that pop up your email app, and at the bottom of
message box i have a submit button as well.. i would like that to
goto to an email as well.. I am sucha noob at this its not even
funny. i tried flashvalue email button inflash tut but got nothing
out of it.. Can someone please get me walked through this with the
most basic instructions out there? thanks so much

to bring up the users email program use:
getURL('mail:[email protected]');
but if you're trying to use the 'submit' button to send a
message that was entered into a textfield on your site, you can't
pass info to the program, and you must use the LoadVars class, and
have a server-side script like php, that will process the info pass
in and send the email.

Submit button via email isn't working as expected

I've read everything I can find and tried all the suggestions. I have a fairly simple form I'd like to post on a community council site for the community members to complete online then submit or print to fax or mail. The Submit button returns an error "This operation is not permitted." I am using mailto:[email protected] and have it set to send the etire PDF.
This is true for both Acrobat Pro X and 9. I may just be tired, but I just can't see what i'm doing wrong.
Suggestions?

That tends to indicate that the document is not Reader-enabled, which it needs to beif you want Reader to send the entire PDF. To Reader-enable with Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

Submit Button for Email Form

I have searched the forum (my apologies if I missed the
correct solution) and have done my fair share of Googling on this
topic to no avail.
Is there a "simple" solution to setting up a submit button to
send a form to email.
I have the action of the form as mailto:myemailaddress.com
Method set to "Get"
Enctype set to "text/plain"
When I test to submit button it provides a popup window with
a warning indicating the senders email address will be divulged. I
click OK and a new window popsup for my yahoo sign in. I suppose
this would happen as the default email interface used. However, the
form isn't sent.
Any solutions would be very helpful. Thanks
P.S. I use DW 8

This is posted here 2-5 times a week -
There are only two ways to process form data -
1. Use mailto:[email protected] as the action of the form
2. Use a server-side scripting method to a) harvest the
form's data, b)
process it in some manner, e.g., enter it into a database, c)
formulate and
send an email to one or more email recipients, and d)
redirect the visitor
to some ending page
Method 1 is quite simple, and is also the least reliable. It
depends both
on your visitor having an email client already installed on
their computer -
this eliminates public computers, or home users without email
clients
installed (more and more it seems) - and on the installed
email client
responding to
the mailto call. It is not possible to use this method *and*
send the
visitor to a
thank you page as well.
Method 2a is the preferred method, since it eliminates the
problems of
method
1, but it means that you have to grapple with
server-scripting somehow (ASP,
CF, PHP, perl, etc.).
Method 2b would be to use some third-party form processing,
like
http://www.bebosoft.com/products/formstogo/,
or if your server supports PHP,
you could investigate
http://www.geekministry.com/formbuilder/,
a very nice
product by a frequent poster here.
You would have to decide which of these methods is best for
your needs,
but if it's Method 2a, then start by asking your host what
they provide for
form
processing. If it's 2b, then read their FAQ/instructions
carefully.

Submit button for email

I have dreamweaver mx 2004. I have create a contact form
including a submit button. But can't figure out how to attach an
email address to this submit button so that once a viewer hits this
submit button, the appropriate will be notified with respective
viewer's infor in the form?
Thanks,
Carole

You don't attach an address to the submit button. You direct
the form's action to a script that processes the email. Please use
this forum's search feature to get the details as this is a very
commonly asked question.

Submit Button to Email PDF?

Is it possible to submit a PDF fillable form through email without enabling the "additional features" via Adobe Acrobat Pro X? Or in order to submit anything by email is it HAS to be enabled? Thanks!

If you want to allow the user to make changes, as with a form, and send the entire PDF using Reader, the document does need to be Reader-enabled. It is otherwise not able to save any changes that can be made, which must be done if you want the entire modified PDF to be sent. If you only want to submit the form data or your users will only be using Acrobat (or certain non-Adobe "Readers"), then it doesn't. Note that you can populate a blank form using Acrobat if you are sent just the form data. Reader 10 is also able to add sticky note and text highlight comments without the document being Reader-enabled.

Adobe 9 Forms Wizard automatic Submit Button - Change Email Address

Hi,
I was wondering if someone would be able to assist me with an issue I have.
I am quite a new user with Adobe 9 Standard and have created an editable form using the Adobe 9 Form Wizard. The form creates fine but when I create it for distribution it creates a submit button in the top right of the form that can be seen by users who would fill out the form and it puts an email address, subject and attachement details into the button but when I go to edit the form in Adobe 9 I am unable to see this button or edit the details as I wish to change the email address.
When I first installed Adobe 9 and created an editable form I guess I was prompted for details for this but can not find where I can change these details.
From investigating this further by opening the form in Adobe 8 then saving a copy and then opening it again in Adobe 9 I can see the button and that the button executes a Java Script, as a work around I tried to edit the Java Script but this does not appear to work.
Ideally I would not like to use the work around to change it in the Java Script but would like to know what to change to make this work (just for future reference) I would like to find out how to get Adobe to prompt me for the email details again?
Your assistance is appreciated.
With Kindest Regards
Laig007

I had the same problem with the email address. Took forever to figure out, but fortunately the answer is simple. On the Acrobat menu, go to Edit > Preferences, thenin the Categories section click on "Identity". Whatever name and email address you put there will stay with the document.

Submit button for email problem

I want to add a submit button that the user can click on and that the button opens up an Outlook email message w/ the form attached. I know how to add a submit button with "mailto" [email protected] but that's not what I want. I want the button to simply open a new outlook message window. The form will be used across the organization and want the ability for it to be emailed to various people whenever needed.
Can anyone assist??

Thank you! That worked!

Created "submit" button not working with Reader

I have created a submit button that will submit an email based off dropdown menu selection. While it works great on my computer (Pro). A user with Reader (9.0) can fill out everything until the (java created) submit button. The user computer hangs... Any ideas of what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Jo

Thanks for the feedback, I figured it out. Silly me, didn't have the form user-enabled.
