Sending a pdf file using submit without client email program.

I need a solution on sending a completed pdf file to my email address without the clients email program poping up.  My website has a small pdf file that users can complete and return to me.  I get many complaints from users stating it requires them to save the file first and then they are unsure were it saved or how to attach it to a email.  To make this easer on my users I want the submit button to simply send me the file using some method from my website.  I use iPage to host the site now.  I was looking for a script to call or some way to do this automaticly.  I was woundering if urs/sbin/sendmail might work.  I am simply at a loss on this.

Using a sendmail type script will send you the form data in the body of an email message, if the form is set up to submit as "HTML". You can create your own script to attach the form data as an FDF, XFDF, or even the complete PDF, but it's unlikely your provider supplies a script for this, so you'd have some custom programming to do.
Sending just the form data also avoids the licensing restrictions for Reader-enabled forms. You can easily import an FDF or XFDF into a blank form to create a filled-in form.

  • How do I send a .pdf file in the body of email, not as attachment?

    Hello to all you MAC geniuses out there. I am using Pages to design flyers for my business. Then exporting them to a pdf file and trying to figure out how to send them in the BODY of an email and not an attachemnt that they have to open. Not really sure if this is a mail or pages question. It is probably a very simple step I am missing, but never the less can't seem to fiugre it out. Thanks in advance!

    You must take into consideration that HTML & PDF are very different formats with conflicting purposes: HTML is by design intended for flexibility in appearance in such things as font & location of displayed elements, & has no fixed page size. PDF is intended to produce WYSIWYG documents, exactly the same regardless of platform, but requires either the Adobe Acrobat application or a PDF plug-in to do so.
    Because of this, there is no way to convert a PDF document into HTML that will completely preserve the PDF's appearance. You can more or less force elements into the same relative position using tables & other HTML features, but pagination cannot be preserved, since no HTML formatted documents will have page breaks.
    You also should consider that the appearance of an email message depends on the application used to view it. Most email, including what Mail generates, follows a standard known as MIME 1.0. MIME is designed to identify each element in the message such that different applications can process them according to their capabilities. Thus, since Mail knows how to display image files like gifs, tiffs, or jpegs, they will be displayed as if they were embedded in the text if the MIME tags indicate they should be. Anything Mail doesn't know how to process into displayable text or images, such as PDF's, will be displayed only as an attachment. The same will be true for other email reading applications.
    IOW, email is not WYSIWYG. Some apps will show displayable items inline, some won't, even if the MIME type is displayable on your Mac in Mail.
    There are several ways you can deal with this. You can try to convert the PDF into HTML, as suggested earlier. You will probably have to tweak the HTML so generated with an editor to get the best results, & deal with such things as pagination, image conversion or resizing, so-called web safe colors, etc. (PDF's are compressed & usually optimized for high resolution printing; to keep the message size down, you may want to convert images to lower resolution jpegs.)
    Or, you can convert the entire flyer to a jpeg or png image, which insures WYSIWYG output, but may make text harder to read.
    Alternately, you can compose a new message as plain text or as HTML that refers to the PDF's content & either includes it as an attachment or furnishes a link to a web page that contains it. This allows you to reach the widest audience, including those who do not have a PDF app or plug-in.
    Whatever you elect to do, remember that what you send in the email is actually a combination of content & instructions about how to deal with it, & that not all recipients will see it the same way, no matter what you do.

  • Unable to combine/merge multiple PDF files using Adobe Reader DC

    How do I merge PDF files using newly acquired Reader DC program?

    You don't. With Reader.
    That is a feature of Acrobat Pro which is not free.

  • How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

    Hello,
    I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
    I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
    baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
    I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
    on mouseUp me
      pageNum = 4
      theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
      theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
      theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum)   & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
      -- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
      open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
    end
    Thoughts?
    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
    It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
    The help files give the following examples:
    Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
    ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
    ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
    So I tried:
    on mouseUp me
      -- Close the program group
      tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
      if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then  baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
      pageNum = 4
      theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
      theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
      theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
      baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
    end
    It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
    Thanks again!

    You'll need to add the email address you want to use to Reader... If you're not prompted to do so when clicking the Submit button, you can do it via Edit - Preferences - Email Accounts.

  • How to send pdf files from local dir through emails attachments

    I have some pdf documents in some directory, I want to send those pdf's as an attachment throu emails to the concerned person.
    Please let me know how to attach the files and send through email.
    Thanks.

    You are using Forms 4.5, which is a client/server configuration. When you create a pdf file, the file has to be written to a directory that is accessible from your PC. D:\ is acessible, /tmp/ not (that is a directory on some Unix server). If you want to write files to a Unix server, you have to set up Samba and map a drive from your PC to he Unix directory.
    Since you are creating multiple pdf files, you will have to wait until all reports are finished and mail them afterwards. You can create a batch script to mail the files.

  • How do I send a PDF File?

    How do I send a PDF File?

    Hi kmshep77,
    You can share public links without a subscription, but to share links with individuals (and therefore get more sophisticated tracking information), you do need a subscription. If your only concern is transferring a file and you don't need tracking info or personalized links, go ahead and use Adobe Send for free! Let us know if you have more questions.
    Best,

    In my workflow , i want to send a pdf file as an attachment.I know this topic has been discussed in earlier threads but i couldn't make out from them.So plz if possible do give simple detailed solution for better understanding.
    Regards,

    The SOFM Object should be created as follows.
    1) get the relationship using class 'CL_BINARY_RELATION' using method 'READ_LINKS'
    2) get the instance ID from INSTID_B
    3) split the value according to the keyfields in SOFM and create object SOFM
    4) bind each object to the Workitem or Email.

  • Print PDF file using Acrobat SDK - Warning message

    Hello,
    We are trying to create automatic program in c# that will print all pdf files located in a specific folder, using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 SDK.
    Whenever the application tries to print file, we receive a warning message ("WARNING! A script has requested to print an Acrobat file. This could print an entire document. Do you want to proceed printing?").
    If we press yes, the file is printed, but next time we'll run the application, this message will appear again.
    Since this application supposed to run automatically (with no interaction with the end users), we want to prevent this warning message from appearing.
    How can we eliminate this warning message?
    Is there any other way to print PDF files using Adobe Acrobat from another application?
    Thanks,
    Lilach.

    joeln3:  I believe the original post refers to a client application, not a web page.  Why use JavaScript from within a client application?  I understood their use case to involve a client app referencing the PDF Library, loading various PDF files, and using one (or more) of the PDF Library's Print methods to invoke Acrobat's internal print routines.

  • Can't view PDF files using Acrobat Reader X

    We made many PDF files available on our Web site. In the past few weeks we noticed that users who were using Acrobat Reader X and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 were not able to view some PDF files. Basically, when they clicked a link to display a PDF file, the screen would be cleared and the status bar showing "Loading ...KB/...K/B" would be displayed. The status bar would move a bit and then got stuck. The PDF file would never be displayed. Sometimes, my users could click the Back button to go back the previous Web page and sometimes they had to close or kill the IE window. Small PDF files seemed to be fine. I was able to repeat this problem on PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7. I also tested clicking the same PDF files with PCs installed with Acrobat Reader 9 and I was not able to cause the problem to occur, so I am pretty sure that this problem is related to Acrobat Reader X. I also noticed that if I unchecked the "Display PDF in browser"  option in Acrobat Reader X so that PDF files would not be displayed inside the Internet Explorer window, I would be able to view all PDF files without any problems.
    I also did an experiment by resaving many PDF files using Acrobat Pro (Reduce File Size...) to be compatible with Acrobat 8 or above. I was able to open these PDF files using Acrobat Reader X but when I used a PC with Acrobat 9, it would get stuck instead. Most of my PDF files were created a long time ago and we usually made it compatible with Acrobat 5 or above.
    I saw that some people reported some problems with Acrobat Reader X but I did not see a solution except uninstalling Acrobat Reader X and installing an old version of Acrobat Reader instead. Anyone has any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this problem?

    Sounds like you got the trial of Acrobat. Go to add/remove programs, get rid of it, the download the free Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/

  • Sending a pdf-file

    I need to send a pdf-file from another application to another. Now I am transporting it in several char[] tables. The problem is some characters are missing when the other end receives the pdf-file.
    So I'm asking that can a pdf-file be transported in several char-tables? Is it possible in general? (I don't have a possibility to send a byte stream, so I need to use char-tables).

    You are probably loosing high-bits off of some of the bytes when you
    convert them to a char[] or they are overflowing. Same result, corrupted
    pdf data....
    I suggest that you used Base64 to encode the byte[] data of the file
    and decode it on the other end when you receive it. As I remember
    Base64 should only produce printable characters so sending the data
    through a char[] should work fine.
    Note that this will increase the size of the data some.
    For a class that does Base64 encoding and decoding see.
    org.apache.xerces.impl.dv.util.Base64
    The Apache license is quite permissive so you can probably just include
    this class in you program.

  • Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    That is a function of the recipient's e-mail software understanding what your software sent.  If it doesn't it will always show as an icon or attachment.   It is also a function of both your internet provider and their internet provider accepting messages of that size, and a function of their download attachment settings in their e-mail program.  There is no way to guarantee it will appear inline in the attachment.   The best you can do is attach with Windows Friendly format.  To do that, use the attach toolbar icon that looks like a paperclip, (View menu -> Customize toolbar if invisible) on Mac OS X Mail when composing the message.   A checkbox appears in the file dialog box's bottom to make it Windows friendly when you navigate to pick the PDF file.  That makes it as universally compatible as possible.  It still may not appear inline, but at least you are less likely to be incompatible.
