Sent by mail button in form

I have create a form in Acrobat 8 and placed a button 'sent by mail'.
When a user fill in the pdf-form and press the button 'sent by mail' The email application will be launched. The attachement is an .xml file.
Why is that? and is it possible to send a pdf instead of an xml file?

Reader cannot save the PDF, that is why. You can allow user rights so that Reader can save the file, but you are limited to 500 copies of the form.
You will also find many comments on this forum about the pitfalls of using mailto. For general use it is a bad practice due to potential problems with client e-mail setup.

Can't use the "send by e-mail" button on forms created in Acrobat Pro 9 with Firefox

I created a form in Acrobat Pro 9.5.2 with a "send by e-mail" button as usual (not using LiveCycle Designer). Since a few months, users cannot send forms using that button USING FIREFOX works fine in Explorer. I've been creating and using those forms since 2 years whitout any problems but now this is A BIG PROBLEM for our office as all our reservation forms uses this technology.
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. create a form using Acrobat Pro. add an action button " send a form". send the Entire PDF form not just FDF. go in advance tool to give all rights to end-users (in French it's "étendre les fonctions d'adobe reader" I think it’s enable the usage rights for Reader ion English.)
2.publishing the form on my website (or send by e-mail to someone who use reader)
3. filling the form
Results:
when the user fill the form he can't send it by e-mail using the button. Nothing happens when hitting that button. It is not possible to save the document as well. Nothing can be done, not even printing or saving it. I've tried almost all browsers I know and nothing works.
Expected results:
the form should be send by e-mail (as an attachment in general) like before. please help me! this is really important, our office have a lot of calls and we are just 2 people here (non-profit organization). should we buy Acrobat Pro X ?
I can send you the form, my e-mail is rgelinas at canadianclub-montreal dot ca
thanks all!

When your customers opened the PDF form (which was as an email attachment) on iPads, it is highly likely that Apple Mail (not Adobe Reader for iOS) was displaying the preview of the PDF form. Please note that Apple products on iPad/iPhone (e.g. Apple Mail, iBooks, Safari) do not render field contents or annotations (sticky notes, highlight, underline, strikeout, freehand drawing, etc.) in PDF documents.
The Mail sections of the following FAQ documents describe how to open PDF attachments in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)
For iPhone, see How to open PDF documents in Adobe Reader for iOS (iPhone on iOS 7 version)

Using Submit e-mail Button on forms

I can create and send a fill-in PDF form using LiveCycle but when it's received it's in an xml format and very hard to read. Is there a way that when received it still look like the PDF that was filled in?
Appreciate any help. Thanks

Asndi, Thanks for your reply. From your post, how do I "load the XML data back into the original form" when the recipient didn't create the original PDF fill-in form to begin with? What he receives through the "e-mail submit button" method is something like the following example; <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <topmostSubform> <undefined>Don</undefined> <Address_1>22 Roberts Road, Some City</Address_1> <Address_2>555 555-5555</Address_2> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_1>Some Name 1</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_1> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_2>Some Name 2</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_2> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_3>Some Name 3</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_3> <Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_4>Some Name 4</Names_of_Family_Members_Playing_4> </topmostSubform> I would like to have this come out in a PDF format for him to read, like the orginal form that was filled in. Is that possible? Thanks

How to differentiate between printed form and form sent by Mail

Hello All,
We have a requirement where we need to print a different text in the smartform based on whether the PO is being printed or being sent by mail. There is a radio button in PO Output screen which lets you select whether to print the PO or send it by mail. Would anyone know which table holds this data?
Thanks for your time.

Johnson

Hi
Which SRM version are you using ?
You can change smartform in transaction SMARTFORMS. Choose From BBP_PO and click on edit button. Go to Global Settings\Global definitions and go to Initialization tab.
You will find the relevant field in SF_PO structure
Based on the PO GUID, read the PO relevant data using the function module BBP_PD_PO_GETDETAIL. Hope here you can identify the table / field names as well.

Also, you can add
IF... ENDIF statements and add a flag variable
based on the current status of document. And use this flag to differntiate between the two statuses.

Trouble with E-Mail button on a form designed in ES

I installed an form with an e-mail button but af
ter I posted the form to the intranet the button does not work at all within Adobe Rea
der 9.0. I have set the form to submit as a PDF and the control type as Submit. I read in another post the I can download the LC Reader Extension but for the life of me, I cannot find it.
Please help.

Hi,
The problem is that your form is not Reader Enabled, so users with Reader cannot save the form. This is required for a 'submit as PDF' button.
You could change the submit type to 'submit as XML', which will work in a form that has not been Reader Enabled. You would then need to import the XML back into the form when you receive responses. This is probably the least expensive route.
LC Reader Extensions is a server product and there are additional costs involved in enabling a form through LC Reader Extensions. You should contact your local Adobe rep or check out here: http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
You can reader enable a form in Acrobat Standard (v9 or above) or using Acrobat Professional (v8). However there are licensing restrictions. See EULA.
I have a summary of deployment options here, which shows what features are available in your form depending on what the user has, whether the form is enabled, and how it was enabled.

Hope that helps,

E-mail button changes email address when submitting

Hello,
For some reason when I try to e-mail my form when I hit the submit by e-mail button in the Send Form that pops up the e-mail address that the form is supposed to be sent to is different than what I have set it up to be on the form. I have tried creating the e-mail submit button using the e-mail button from the standard library and by using a regular button and changing it to a submit button, but it does not make a difference.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to not change the e-mail address when I try to submit my form? The e-mail address I have entered it to be sent to is: [email protected] but when I go to submit when testing my form it adds an "a" onto the end of association so the e-mail address is changed to: [email protected]
this means that when I submit it the form does not go to my inbox because the email address is wrong, even though the e-mail address is entered correctly in the Object palette in LiveCycle Designer.
Thanks
Tamara

Hi Tamara,
It seams to be a glitch with your version of LiveCycle Designer. It should work if you manually change the auto-generated script instead of using Designer's dialog. Here's how you can do that:
1) Select your email submit button and open the Script Editor (Ctrl+Shift+F5)
2) Make sure you select the 'click' event or 'Events with Scripts' filter at the top left of the script editor window next to 'Show:'
3) Near the end of the script (line 57 and 59) you will see 'mailto:' followed by the faulty email address you were seeing.
4) Change it to what you need it to be (both lines)
I have an earlier version of Designer, so I can't test it myself, so let me know how it works for you.
You can also find it edited here. I also made your tables flow for you.

LiveCycle Designer 8 e-mail button

In Acrobat Reader 7.0 the LiveCycle predefined e-mail button pops up a "Select E-mail Client" dialog box where it allows the user to either send using an e-mail client or to create an XML data file. In 8.0 it goes directly to the default e-mail client (outlook, etc.). Why does it do this? What if someone uses a web-based e-mail? Is this an issue with 8.0 or is it intentional? Is there a way to have 8.0 work the way 7.0 does?
I figured out a way to save an xml file in 8.0 using "xfa.host.exportData("",0);" in a button, but it doesn't work in 7.0.
I would like to find a way that works for both 7.0 and 8.0 readers.

The problem I have is the following. I have created a form with Adobe Life Cycle Designer so whoever completes the form can submit the answer by simply clicking on the submit by email button. A XML data file is then generated and sent back to me by email.
Normally, when clicking on the button, the user gets a popup message that gives the user a choice of email services (Desktop Email Application, Internet Email or other.
This works fine when using Acrobat Reader 7. However, for whatever reason, it does not work when using Acrobat Reader 8 unless a Desktop email application such as Outlook is activated and configured with a profile. The message that I get instead (refer to the pdf attached to see the image), when no profile is created on the desktop application.
I looked in the documentation of Acrobat Reader 8 and saw that the users should get same the same choice as in Acrobat 7. To make matter worse, this second popup message refers to an email icon in the control panel that does not exist in the control panel of Windows XP.
Unless I fix this problem, I will not be able to use the Adobe form as planned. I must be sure that form users can send their data back to me after completing the form without having to create a profile in whatever email application they have on a computer. Can you help me?

Hi! Windows 7 users can´t open the pdfs and jpegs that I have included into sent e-mails. How shall I resolve the problem?

Hi!
Prolems started after uploading the Lion in March. Now at least Windows 7 users can´t open any pdfs or jpegs that I have included into sent e-mails. They can see that they are included but can´t open them. What can I do?

It's a bug in Outlook. Each version of Outlook has its own unique bug that prevents it form displaying email that didn't come from another Outlook user. Apple has attempted to dumb-down Mail and make it more complex in order to work around these issues, but Microsoft keeps changing the bugs in each version of Outlook instead of making an Internet Email standard compliant email client.
Are they able to right-click on the image and save it from the contextual menu?
Otherwise, make sure Send windows friendly, attachments at end of message are checked and send plain text.
Or, zip the attachments and send that way.
There is also a program called Attachment Tamer that many people have found useful.

E-mail button using something other then Outlook

My question is simple when using an e-mail button you can send the PDF or XML through e-mail to a certain address such as a gmail, yahoo, msn or etc.. email account but the host e-mail server it is using is the Outlook on your local machine. My question is if I did not have Outlook installed on my machine and had my yahoo or gmail e-mail accounts logged in on the web browser and then I click on the e-mail button on a certain form could they use the gmail or e-mail account for sending or will it not work. Simply put to send e-mail using the E-mail submit button you always use Outlook is there a way to use a script to make the submit button using gmail or yahoo instead.

There is a dialog that pops up that indicates that we can use the default enail client on your machine or if you do not have one or you want to use a web mail client then it is up to you to save the file and create your own email and add this file as an attachment. There is no api available to be able to automate the web mail.

E-Mailing a PDF Form and not an .xml file

I have created a PDF form for staff to request time off. The form is to be emailed to the Manager for approval. I used the "Submit by E-Mail" button, however, when I hit the Submit by E-Mail button, it submits an .xml file. I have looked through the forum, but have not been able to figure it out. I need help in getting this done asap. I am fairly new at this, therefore will require simple instructions. I have attached the form, if anyone wants to fix this form me, however, I would appreciate getting the instructions on how to do this for future use. Thanks

Thanks, however, I just want the user to be able to hit the Submit by E-mail button, and e-mail the form to the Manager. I believe, that this is what this button should be able to do, except that it converts the file to .XML format.
Still looking for help. thanks

How to make "Get Mail" button work for new IMAP acct?

Recently, I started new Internet service with Charter. I set up my new email mail account on my iMac, and everything is working perfectly.....except that Mail checks the Charter email account for new messages ONLY when Mail is first started or the first time I "Synchronize". There's no way to know that messages are waiting, and no other way to download messages.
When I click the "get mail" button, the little wheel thing appears for all the accounts (I still have my ATT accounts active), except the Charter account. When Mail automatically checks for messages, it checks all the accounts except the Charter account.
The messages sent to the Charter account show up right away on the web (looking at my account on Charter's web site). I have no trouble at all sending emails. I have the account set up with IMAP (although, I tried POP, with no change). I have this account set to "Include when automatically checking for messages". I've shut down and restarted multiple times.
I've talked with Charter support, and they've checked their server and all my settings, and everything is OK. I'm inclined to agree it's not an issue on their end. It seems to be Mail.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Yup. It was set to "every 5 minutes", and changing that made no difference. Mail completely ignores the charter account when doing the automated mail check and when I click "get mail".
I went to the local Apple store, without my iMac but with screen shots of the email settings, plus settings info from charter, and we set up the account on one of the iMacs there. It worked perfectly. The guy helping me suggested deleteting the account and setting it up again.
I did exactly that, but the behavior is the same. So.....the next thing to do is take the iMac in. (sigh.)

We want the send mail button on the mail box, just like wen you replay an e-mail

i want the sending buttom for e-mail on the mail box thai i am writing..

It sounds like you're looking for the button that sends emails you've written, but that haven't successfully been sent yet. The Get Mail button does this.
