Submit Button to multible addresses

I need to create a form with a submit button which sends to a pool of 3 different addresses.   Does anyone know how I accomplish that?  When I add "submit a form" with mailto syntax three separate times, it only sends it to the top address.  How do i get it to send to all three?

Do you have some example script I might be able to use to set up the list box emails?

  • Fighting with Submit Button and Return Address / distributing Forms

    I go crazy, too ! We designed some smart forms for a new evaluation process, too, and had a successfully test within our IT collegues. Now we handed the process over to the users, and the problems are on!
    We made sure that everyone uses the same version of Adobe 9.1.2 Pro - but not 2 users do have the same results.
    We found following 2 major issues:
    1) When opening the _distributed.pdf - users either completly missing the pink bar with  Highlight fields / Submit Form
    or, very odd, just the Submit Form button
    2) For those who fortunatly have the Submit Button, another odd thing happens:
    The Send form correctly shows the to: address .....
    Our Desktop Email Application is Notes...
    Guess what .... Now the Email adress changes to [email protected]   ( this worked fine in our testings before...)
    Do you have any clue from where this address is pulled ???? We checked the identitity Info in the Adobe installation at the users computers, the email and name entries are correct there.....
    Please help !!!

    I am pretty sure the answer is in the script. I have put together pieces of script from other suggestions and I am pretty sure I have ascrewed something up  along teh way. I have looked at the attached link and that is where I got some of the script you see below. I am sure you will refer to me as the hatchet person who chopped the script up. sorry. (It is in the Mouse Up) This does work, sort of...It will give the user the message that the required fields are not filed in if they are blank, but it will send the email, but without the custom message in the subject line.
    if (employeename.rawValue != null || employeename.rawValue != "") {
    vSubject  = "Form completed by " + employeename.rawValue;
    vBody = "The form has been sent by " + employeename.rawValue;
    if  (completedate.rawValue != null || completedate.rawValue != "") {
    vBody   = vBody + " on " + completedate.rawValue;
    if  (EmployeeID.rawValue != null || EmployeeID.rawValue != "") {
    vBody = vBody + " Your ID is: " + EmployeeName.rawValue;
    var oDoc = event.target;

  • 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

    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.

  • Edit email for submit button and Javascript?

    How can I change an email address attached to a submit  button on a previously created form? 2) How can I see if JavaScript is being used with form? A prior team member created interactive forms with a submit button. Email address attached to button needs to be updated. I tried to edit in Acrobat Pro by double  clicking the button to access the properties panel, but it doesn't open. If I recreate the form to amend the address, my file size is about 1/3 of the original which leads me to believe there is JavaScript.

    Thank you. My version of Adobe Acrobat Pro X  Tools- Forms edits in
    LiveCycle Designer after the form has been created and saved.. There is no
    other edit option as shown in the screen print below. The action wizard in
    Pro doesn't seem to apply in this case. I had tried right clicking the
    button in both Pro and LiveCycle previously to no avail. However, when the
    form opens in LiveCycle, I just figured out that there is an object window
    that allowed me to modify the email address.
    However, I don't understand the file size difference or even how to find
    the JS. We both used the same original word docx. His file size is 47K and
    my recreated file is 19K, a big difference. I didn't compress mine. Any
    thoughts on what is causing the difference? The forms are on a client's
    website for external users to complete so load time is still important.
    Thanks,Vickie

  • Submit button with multiple email addresses doesn't work while the same form with one email address does.  The multi email version works on windows computer.

    The email comes up when I press the "Submit" button but the email to field is blank.

    Hi,
    What is the separator character between two email addresses?  Is it a comma (,) semicolon(;) or something else?
    According to the mailto URI scheme (RFC 6068), you need to use a comma (,) to separate multiple email addresses.
    You can see the third example in the following Wikipedia page.
    mailto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Would you double check the mailto value in your PDF form?

  • Submit button to an email address not working?

    Created a submit button for sending the complete PDF form to an email address, works fine on my computer with the 8.3 Pro version. But when I send it to someone else to use with Adobe reader it won't work, returns an error message. Isn't that the whole idea of a form is to be able to be able to send data? My email address is wron in my profile and it won't let me change it...  [email protected]  Also tried using the FDF and XFDF format as the help suggests, that didn't work either.

    The problem may be on the other machine, one of the major problems with using e-mail submission. E-mail submission requires that the user machine be properly configured. With AA9 (or maybe AA8), additional options were setup that did not require MAPI to be active on the machine, but there are apparently some problems. If the data file is being sent, then there is not a Reader Rights issue. It looks like you are using Acroforms since you mentioned FDF and XFDF (Designer uses XML) data formats. It may be that the client is using an earler version of Reader before AR9 and that is an issue.
    The safest way to send the data is to a web script on a server, not e-mail. Setting this up is not necessarily that easy, but the safest as mentioned.
    I have not answered your problem as such, but given some indication of why you may be having a problem.

  • How can I add a third e-mail address to a submit button?

    Right now it's only limited to two addresses.
    The form in question is here: http://www.ucmexus.ucr.edu/resources/Final_Narrative_Report_CONACYT.pdf
    I need to add a third person to the existing addresses in the submit button.
    Using Acrobat X Pro.

    To bcc out of acrobat is going to be very tricky as you will have to run a script in order for the form to identify the bcc line. It will look something like the following. You will have to pair this script with a button to intialize the event script. I will chaeck and see if there is a script for acrobat but your best bet is to go the livecycle route.

  • How to use the submit button without an email address

    We are changing the way one of our forms is used.  Previously the "submit by email" button opened up an email with a specific TO: address.  Now we like to have the user put in the address but still have the form attached to the email when it is opened. 
    Has anyone done this or does anyone have an idea how we can accomplish this?

    Place a HTTP submit button in your form and update the User Entered email using the below script.
    YourHTTPSubmitButton.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + txtEmailField.rawValue

  • 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!
    Diana

    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.

  • Changing TO email address in submit button

    How do I change the address that appears in the Email To: in a submit button for a document that I need to distribute to others?

    Just edit the button using the button tool. You have to do this in the tool you used (Acrobat or Designer). You can not edit a Designer form with Acrobat. Be aware that some folks may have problems with e-mail submission due to their e-mail client setup. If so, you will have to deal with that. If it is a small group of folks who know each other, you can probably deal with it.

  • Add a 4th address to a submit button

    The limit seems to be set to 3 addresses. Is there anyway to add a fourth?
    The form in question is here: http://www.ucmexus.ucr.edu/resources/Final_Narrative_Report_CONACYT.pdf
    Also, I designed this form before the recent upgrade to PDF. I no longer seem to have the ability to edit the submit button. When I click on the submit button in design view, I don't get a pallet of options to edit from.

  • Send form is different email to address than specified in submit button

    I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 PRO (CS5) and have a problem where the "wrong" mailto: address is displayed to the responder after a PDF form has been completed by the responder... it appears in the final "Send Form" pop up which details the email address the PDF is being submitted to (as well as 2 x fields for the responder to add their "From" info into: 1."email address" and 2."Full Name")
    THE PROBLEM IS THIS: The "Send Form"email address shown at the top is not the same as the email address specified in the PDF Forms submit button (I've used "[email protected]" option) and though the submit button DOES send it to the correct specified email address it is showing my standard email address in the "Send Form" pop up box, which I don't want as I am sending a survey form so I would like my "[email protected]" email address to appear here and not my usual/main email address (I need it to display the same info as I've set my submit button to).
    What can I do to change the info that seems to automatically appear here...? (Also to change the reply "Subject Header" while I'm at it?)
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi George,
    Many thanks for your reply; it was really helpful - now my "Send Form" reply pop-up window shows the same email address as the email address I specified in my forms submit button: excellent! (it has caused a new problem now though, with my email server now barring the replies from reaching me for some reason, but I'll have to sort that out with our IP!)
    - SPECIFYING A PDF FORM'S REPLY EMAIL "SUBJECT HEADER":
    I am manually distributing a "saved" form and will collate the data from my email inbox at a later date; did you have a solution to change the "Subject Header" in the reply email if use this manual send process?

  • Is it possible to create a cc'd email address from a text field that connects to a submit button?

    I was told I should submit this question to the scripting forum... I am wondering if this is at all possible in Acrobat, because so far I have not been able to do it, but a client would like us to:
    I have a "Submit Request" button that includes the email addresses of desired recipients of a PDF form. But the client also wants the person who is filling out the form to be cc'd in the email that is sent to other recipients. So in the field where the person enters their email address on the form, is it possible to somehow have that email address show up in the cc'd section of the email that is sent when the person hits the "Submit Request" at the bottom of the form?
    As far as I can see, the only way to get the form emailed to anyone is to list pre-chosen email addresses in the actions section of the submit button. This is why I haven't been able to figure out how to get a randomly entered email address in a text field to also be cc'd.
    Hope this makes sense and any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you!

    Nevermind, I just did a little research and found the answer:
    in Acrobat Pro v9 go to the menu and select Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader...
    In Acrobat Standard v9 go to the menu and select Advanced > Extend Forms Fill-in & Save in Adobe Reader...
    You can now save the form with your data.
    Thanks again for your help with the script, our form is now working exactly the way we wanted it to!

  • Can't get add blind copy address to submit button

    I am not a coder so studied this page for how to add a bcc to the form's submit button:
    http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/modifying-livecycle-designer-form-submit-button
    I added the bcc only (not the rest of the code -- that was generated in Livecycle) below (see red text) as per the information provided in the above link.
    <event activity="click">
                   <submit format="xml" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Final CONACYT Narrative Report&bcc=[email protected]" textEncoding="UTF-8"/>
                </event>
    It's not working. I actually need to add two bcc addresses. A disclaimer: The first address: mailto:[email protected], was generated in the design preview. That worked fine. I added the bcc code under the xml tab. However, again, not being a coder, if someone could please tell me how to properly add the bcc addresses.
    Thank you.

    I've worked on this some more, but LiveCycle won't let me save the document. This is the code:
    <event activity="click">
                   <submit format="xml" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Final CONACYT Narrative Report&bcc=[email protected]&bcc=[email protected]" textEncoding="UTF-8"/>
                </event>

  • How do I set the Submit button to send the information directly to a specific email address?

    How do I set the Submit button to send the information directly to a specific outside email address? It isn't clear to me where or how it says that you can do this.

    Is this for a web form or a PDF? If PDF, you would have to use Acrobat to edit the form and replace the submit button action with either a "Submit a form" action using a mailto type URL, or use the doc.submitForm statement to do the same.
