Sending a PDF form without a desktop email application

I developed a PDF form using Livecycle and now discoved that the computers that users have do not have an email client installed. instead, they use OWA. So my Save and Send Email button will save the PDF but not email it. Is there a way to send the PDF (I've read something about http or server-side scripts) that will be automatic so that the user doesn't manually have to attach the saved file to an OWA email and type in an email address? We've used pdformail.asp in the past, but, for some reason, it's not working for me now.I get a message saying that the page can't be displayed. The code for this action page is copied below.
<%
Dim strMasterPath
Dim PDForm
' Acquire the server default path
strMasterPath = Server.MapPath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO"))
strMasterPath = Left(strMasterPath,InstrRev(strMasterPath,"\"))
' Initiate the formium object and call the Render function
Set PDForm = Server.CreateObject("formium.core")
Call PDForm.render_PDForMail(0)
' Close out the object       
Set renderPDF = Nothing
%>

Here's the javascript on the Submit button, and I'd like a script that would grab user-entered values in the PDF form in the same way. Is this possible?
form1.page3.emailSubform.emailToBtn::preSubmit:form - (JavaScript, client)
app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
//either way below works
//event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ strToAddress + "?cc=" + strCCAddress + "&subject=" + strSubject + "&body=" + strMessage,cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
if (txtCCAddress.rawValue == null) {
var strToAddress, strSubject, strMessage, strSuffix, strMgrFirstName, strMgrLastName, strStoreNum, strRegionNum
strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
strSuffix = form1.Page1.DropDownList1.rawValue;
strMgrFirstName = form1.page3.MgrFirstName.rawValue;
strMgrLastName = form1.page3.MgrLastName.rawValue;
strStoreNum = form1.Page1.storeNumber.rawValue;
strRegionNum = form1.page3.distRegion.rawValue;
this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:" + strToAddress + "?subject= " + "LOA request for " + strSuffix + " DSM " + strMgrFirstName + " " + strMgrLastName + " Store# " + strStoreNum + " Region# " + strRegionNum;
    else
    var strToAddress, strCCAddress, strSubject, strMessage, strSuffix, strMgrFirstName, strMgrLastName, strStoreNum, strRegionNum
strToAddress = txtToAddress.rawValue;
strCCAddress = txtCCAddress.rawValue;
strSuffix = form1.Page1.DropDownList1.rawValue;
strMgrFirstName = form1.page3.MgrFirstName.rawValue;
strMgrLastName = form1.page3.MgrLastName.rawValue;
strStoreNum = form1.Page1.storeNumber.rawValue;
strRegionNum = form1.page3.distRegion.rawValue;
    this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:"+ strToAddress + "?cc=" + strCCAddress + "&subject=" + "LOA request for "  + strSuffix + " DSM " + strMgrFirstName + " " + strMgrLastName + " Store# " + strStoreNum + " Region# " + strRegionNum;

  • Can I edit the email created to send a PDF form back to me when a user clicks on Submit?

         I created several PDF fillable forms for our users to request services and send back data needed to deliver those services. They are simple forms, and users will click on Submit to return to a mailto: address.
    My question is about the email message that is auto-created when the user clicks on Submit. I can't find any config window to be able to edit the message in the body of the email. The message reads:
    Form Returned: 2014PrintingRequestForm.pdf
    The attached file is the filled-out form. Please open it to review the data.
    Is there any way to edit this message?

  • [Newbie] PDF forms without  XFA structure

    Hello.
    I'm currently working at an ASP.NET application that, via a third-party component, sends automatically values to different interactive PDF. The problem is that, because of XFA structure, the component can not communicate with form fields of documents created by Adobe Designer 7.
    In your knowledge is there a way to create PDF forms WITHOUT XFA in Adobe Professional 7 Environment ?
    I thank you for any helps.
    Stefano

    hi,
    use pdfmark and distiller to create the forms in PDF Acroform. Then they are like adobe professional 6 created forms. So, you can proceed as usual.
    Steps involved.
    1. Save the form as XDP in designer. It is a simple XML file.
    2. Parse XDP and convert it into .ps file. Use pdfmark syntax to put the form controls.
    3. Use distiller utility to convert the .ps file into .pdf file. ( You can programattically do this . There is a sample in Adobe SDK 7 installation.
    Hope this helps. We are right now doing this work around. Please let us know if you find a better or more elegant way.
    thanks,
    Deiv

    I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form.  I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online.  However, I think the form is an HTML web form.  All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on.  Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade?  Help

    You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.

  • Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?

    Is there a way to delete one of several checkboxes from a pdf form without the leftover checkboxes automatically renumbering themselves?
    I used LiveCycle Designer to make a pdf form with many checkboxes. When I deleted a few of the checkboxes the rest left on the form renumbered themselves. This made my JavaScript out of sync since the JavaScript checkbox numbers did NOT update automatically. I am hoping there is a preference option to not auto update. I just cannot find it,

    I believe you're using the same name for each checkbox, right?!
    If so, each checkbox has an index number which represents its position relative to the other copies in the XML tree and when you add, delete or reorder the copies the index will always be recreated because thats the way how XML works.
    There is no way to stop Designer from doing this, I'm afraid.
    To address individual objects through JavaScript you should use unique names.

  • Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    Export PDF converts filled PDF form without the data - Turns filled PDF form onto blank Word doc. Is there a solution to this or did Adobe just sell me a service that doesn't work?

    ExportPDF is not for forms. In general, converting forms to Word is a really, really bad idea which can even cause legal problems. Work with the form as a PDF. Acrobat (not Reader) can export form data as simple text for example.

    Is it possible and how ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Are you downloading responses as PDF forms after forms are submitted? If so, FormsCentral doesn't provide an option to exclude empty fields and you won't be able to save PDF forms without empty fields.
    You can use this form to "vote" on popular feature requests, or to add a new one of your own:

  • Question for sending a PDF Form with desktop mail

    Dear all,
    I try to create a PDF form and use it for a Workflow.
    Therefore I created some "Send" Buttons and put into the Properties/Actions/Submit a Form the comand "mailto: [email protected]".
    The second "Send" Button contains another mail adress which is also shown while putting the mouse over the button.
    But after clicking this one the PDF is still send to the Mail-Adress from the first button!
    Any idea, what went wrong or where the issue is?
    Thanks for a quick feedback
    Thomas

    Hi try67,
    thanks for the tipp.
    I already renamed all send-buttons -> but it still does not work!
    This morning I deleted them all and created new one - now it seems to work.
    BUT: it only works as long as there is no digital signature on the document.
    As soon as the first signature is placed - all send buttons change to the same email adress.
    ???? Looks quite strange....

  • Sending Filled PDF Form ONLINE without promting outlook/windowsmail etc

    This question has been placed serveral times. But no one seemed to have THE anwers/script for it.
    now we all know that a filled pdf form, can be send as an attachment when you click on the submit button. It prompts, your computer mail software and place the e-mail adress and subject on the right place with the filed pdf file attached. That's cool.
    And also we know you can save the pdf form on your local disk. Login in your gmail, hotmail or yahoo and attach the saved pdf form file and send it there.
    But what I want is something more simpler. The above mention is tricky when someone dont have mail client. I just want the complete filled pdf form, send online (through mailserver?). just the send button. without prompting outlook/windowsmail. Just the submit and send the whole damn thing to the right address.
    So what's the script to do so?

    I have the same question, did you have any luck  finding an answer/script ? It seems like this process its much more complicated than it should be.

  • 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.

  • How can I send a PDF form for someone to complete, then lock it for no one to see except us when they send it back?

    We would like to create a PDF form to collect sensitive information (phone numbers, payment information) from our customers. Ideally, we would like for them to be able to fill it out, then hit a button to encrypt it when completed, and send it back to us for us to view. Kind of like sending out an open, self-locking box for them to fill, and once they close it no one can see the contents without the key (which we would have).
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI (11.0.07) on Mac OSX (10.9.4).
    Is this possible? If so, how do I do this? Thank you in advance!

    You can use certificate encryption. Each of your customers needs to have a digital certificate with a private key and send you the public key version of his/her certificate. You also need to have a digital certificate with private key and to send each customer the public version of your certificate.  Then after each customer fills in your form, she encrypts it with certificate encryption entering as recipients herself and you before sending this PDF to you. This way only this particular customer and you can open and see PDF filled with sensitive information.
    This workflow presumes that you and each of your customers can procure a digital certificate (Digital ID in Acrobat-speak).

    The built-in PDF plugins of the browsers are usually quite bad when it comes to scripts, so I would say it will probably be the same. At least with Reader you know for sure what's going to work and what not. With those plugins it's a wild stab in the dark...

  • Emailing a PDF form w/o an email address submit button

    I have created a form; but my company does not want it to go to specific email address. So I took out the submit button. What they want is for people to be able to fill in the PDF form and send it to whomever they choose via email. BUT in reader, they cannot save the PDF. What do I need to do to get this to work correctly?
    Thanks!

    I had the same request.
    All i did was leave the email address blank. On the "Design View", it will show an error but the employee will not see this. They can then just enter an email address.
