Send an input form via CFMAIL?

I've created an input form (radio buttons, text input) on our site that uses CFMAIL to send the results to the business, then updates our SQL DB. The user/client gets to the form by clicking on a survey link in an email sent to them.
Now, I've been asked to include the actual input form in the email sent to the user so that the user fills out the input form inside the HTML email instead of clicking on the survey link to get to the site.
I'm a bit confused as I haven't seen much helpful information on this topic. If the user has HTML enabled on their email client, and if I validate the data coming in, can this work? Is there anything else I should be aware of as far as Coldfusion is concerned?

Try it from your own email client.
Things to be aware of.
You can't use any cold fusion tags on the form.
It might not work with lotus notes because that converts html to rich text.

Sending Offline Interactive Form Via Email

Hi,
I am running NW 2004s SPS09 and trying to configure GP to use offline adobe interactive forms. As of now, I am able to create a callable object from an Adobe template, prefill fields from other background execution/web service callable objects, and launch a process when the form is submitted via email. I am having trouble routing the form to the next processor through email. I created an interactive form callable object, checked 'Enable Use In Guided Procedures' and selected 'Create Offline Interactive Form And Send By E-Mail'. My first thought was that there was some delay in the sending of emails, but callable objects in other processes that send plain text notifications work fine. The process does not enter an erroneous state and waits at that action. Looking at the GP monitor under NW administration, the correct processor is set for the action, but the task does not appear in the user's UWL or GP runtime center (I figure this is because the task is meant to be completed offline). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
~Greg

Turned out the 'switchToNewMailCommunication' property for the GP service was set to true when it should have been false.

How do I send entire pdf form via email from web browser

How do you send a pdf completed form on your web browser via email to email address?

Hello Wayne, see no offense in this message
There is a faster scheme.
Copy the range of cells to send (it may be an entire table)
Enter the application entitled Preview.
File > Create a new doc from the clipboard
File > Send the selected PDF document (I'm not sure of the exact wording).
It's the highlighted one.
Bingo, it will create a mail with the PDF embedded.

Saving and sending a pdf form in a non-editable format (i.e. as an image)

I have created a pdf form with editable fields (text fields, drop-down menus etc). After the form has been filled and graphically signed, I would like create a button to the form, which would save the form in a format that can not anymore be edited and then send this "image" form via e-mail. How could I do this ??

You can flatten the form to make form fields un-editable.
Go to Tools pane > Print Production > Preflight > PDF Fixups > Flatten Annotations and Form Fields
You can also create a custom Action to achieve this at a click of a button.

Submit Form Via Webmail Is Not Creating Email In Drafts Folder

Bottom Line Up Front: PDF's Submit via Email (Webmail) is not creating the email in the Webmail account.
What I am using:
=============
* Adobe Acrobat Pro XI; however, I have a lot of users using Adobe Reader.
* Yahoo! email
What I am trying to do:
==================
Send the data from a completed pdf to an email address via webmail.
What Works:
===========
Using the default application - Microsoft Outlook, the form's data is placed into an XML attachment and an email is created for review and transmission.
What Isn't Working:
===============
Sending the same form via the Webmail feature. Acrobat first provided the Yahoo account name and password handshake screen, and then I authorized Acrobat to use my Yahoo account. The form provided a status bar that indicated the email was being created and the attachment being added to the email; however, no email was ever created (and placed in my draft folder) and no email was sent (checked there too.)
What I've Confirmed:
================
I've gone to my Yahoo account's "Manage Apps and Website Connections" and confirmed that Acrobat is permitted to create emails (among other things). I've tested the non-webmail (default) email. I've confirmed in my Acrobat Pro XI preferences that the email account is there.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Yes. However, if I receive that 500th back I have violated the License. Though I believe you need to go back and read it again It seems to say you can only send out 500 copies.
Either way would be breaking the intent of the license agreement.
WE have fought hard just to get this little change made (for benefit of very small Business or even non-profits). So we don't want to cause Adobe to pull this out of the next version because of misuse.

Hi,
For sending smartform output into mail you first have to generate spool request and convert it into PDF and then
only it can be sended into mail, please find the sample code in the mail below:

Sending output / forms via Fax

I am trying to configure the output to send our purchase order form via fax.
I have been been able to sucessfully configure the output via transaction NACE for printing and email. I have followed the same configuration steps for defining the fax, however, I am unable to successfully create the output.
The error I receive in the purchase order is "Error in OPEN_FORM for document 45xxxxxxxx"

No unfortunately it does not provide any additional info. I am thinking of following the instructions in the following SAP Note (397691) so that I have a better picture of the error:
"Symptom
If errors occur when purchasing documents are output, the system generates an error message in the message log of the message overview.However, error message ME142 'Error in OPEN_FORM for document &' contains only the information that an error occurred and not the error cause.With the attached source code, the error cause is also displayed in the error message (for example, missing authorization, terminated connection and so on)."

Creating a link to specific view in a submitted InfoPath form via C#

Hello,
I have an InfoPath form that is submitted by a user, then the c# executes logic on a button click which is to send approver a link to a approver view within the submitted form(my company is
not allowing use of Work flows).
I have a problem creating this link namely because SharePoint changes the patter of a string that is used in creating a form name(Username and now() function characters change
in URL).
Is there an easy way to reference an url to a view in Infopath form via C#
Thank you.

You can use the following javascript syntax to open a document on local drive:
xfa.host.gotoURL("file:///C:/yourdocument.pdf",1);

Submit button on Android doesn't submit completed form via e-mail

We've created a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro with a submit button using the "mailto:" command. When we are in the android app and click the button, the e-mail script works fine, but it doesn't send the actual file, just a blank e-mail. Any advice? I've seen some older posts saying java scripts aren't supported, but they were older posts. Has this been addressed or is there a workaround to submit the completed forms via e-mail (with an added service or expense)?

When you write this
> but it doesn't send the actual file, just a blank e-mail
do you mean that it sends an email with a blank form attached?
If this is the case, this is currently as-designed, since your button has two actions: one that submits the form and one that resets the form. Because emailing on an Android device is asynchronous, by the time the email is constructed by the mail app of choice, the reset form action has already executed and as a result, you end up sending a blank form.
I will look into the Android mail APIs to find out if we can make the behavior synchronous, that is, the reset form action will not execute until AFTER the submit form action has fully completed. In the meantime, you can work around this by separating the submit & reset button into two separate buttons: one that submits, and one that resets. Users will tap the submit button to submit and then have to tap the reset button after submit completes to reset the form.
Hope this helps,
Darrell

Sending a binary attachment via email, looking for a more clean way

Hi experts.
I finally managed to send a binary attachment via email. Why "finally"? Never done before!
Also I got to manage the "not standard" .SAP file extension, because the attachment is a transaction link.
So let me explain how i did it:
take SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, filling following input data:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data              = st_docdata
      commit_work                = 'X'
    TABLES
      packing_list               = lt_packlist
      contents_hex               = lt_hex
      contents_txt               = lt_content
      receivers                  = lt_recv
    EXCEPTIONS
      too_many_receivers         = 1
      document_not_sent          = 2
      document_type_not_exist    = 3
      operation_no_authorization = 4
      parameter_error            = 5
      x_error                    = 6
      enqueue_error              = 7
      OTHERS                     = 8.
But how to fill lt_hex? Well I did not found a way to transfer text data into raw data structure (lt_hex is type SOLIX).
So, here is the trick:
fill another table, lt_bin type SOLISTI1, with attachment content (text data);
dump lt_bin content to a file on application server, having care to specify TEXT MODE and UTF-8 encoding;
now reopen the same file in BINARY MODE and transfer content to lt_hex.
Why I did not use parameter
content_bin
? Because SAP ECC 6 is unicode enabled (I think UTF-16) and file has got to be UTF-8 or ASCII. Also, packing_list for attachment must specify binary tranfer mode. And doing so each UTF-16 character (2 bytes) is split into 2 characters (1 char + 1 NUL byte). Attachment is now unusable.
What is the question? Here it is: how to fill lt_hex data directly from text (UTF-16) data, avoiding conversion errors?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Chhayank,
the problem is not the exported xls. If you have a look inside with Notepad or something like that, you will see that your leading zeros are exported correct.Excel-settings occurs this problem, it is all about how to open the document. If you use the import-assistant you will have no problems because there are options available how to handle the different columns.
Another solution might be to get familiar with ABAP2XLS-Project. I got in my mind, that there is a method implemented, that will help you solving this problem. But that is not a five minute job
