Submit button to return a completed form as a pdf attachment

Win XP SP3
LiveCycle ES 8.2
I’ve created a submit button to return a completed form as a pdf attachment (see http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_How_do_I_change_the__Email_Submit__button_so_it_wi-16533.h tml “Use a regular form button”) but the fields in the filled & submitted form that arrives in me inbox are editable e.g. I can alter or delete what’s been entered.
This form will be accessed through a link on the organisation’s website & will open in a browser, rather than in reader itself.
How can I set the form so that once it’s been submitted the fields become uneditable? This needs to be something that I do to the form before it’s uploaded to the site so as to make it as simple as possible for the people filling it in.
TIA

You can put a Signature Field on the Form and set the Property to lock the form Fields after signing.
So once the form is signed and submitted it cannot be edited.

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;
oDoc.mailDoc({
     bUI: false,
     cTo: "[email protected]",     cSubject: "Statement from " + EmployeeName.rawValue + "

REP-50134 occurs when using the submit button on the Reports Parameter Form

Good Morning,
I get the "REP-50134: Cache subitem reports does not exist" error after clicking on the Submit Button from a Reports parameter form.
I am using Forms/Reprots 9i.
Using the source code given in the Whitepaper 'Oracle Forms Services - Using Run_Report_Object() to call Reports with a parameter form', all works well when paramform=no, but when I have a Form print a report with paramform=yes, the parameter form appears correctly, but generates the error after clicking the Submit Button.
Any inputs as to causation or possible places to look to solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello and thanks.
The value in the tag is <form method=post action="reports?">
Looking at this I suspect my problem is related to this setting. I am trying to follow all the instructions in the White Papers but they are a little confusing as they are not all exactly the same. Each attempts to explain a specific functionality without regards to the whole.
For instance I believe I need to have the variables P_ACTION, P_USER_CONNECT and P_SERVER_NAME in the report being called and then add a Before Parameter Form trigger to reset the values. But this seems to duplicate and override what has already been sent via the REPORT_OTHERS property. It is a tad bit confusing.
Can you confirm?
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

I have an InfoPath with submit button, publish the same to form library.

Hi All,
i have an InfoPath with submit button, publish the same to form library.
Now, i open the form fill it and attach some files, when i press submit button, that attachments will go to the particular document library.
Can any one help me out.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi Anil,
According to your description, my understanding is that the attachments attached to the form were submitted to an documents library.
By default, the attachments should be attached with the InfoPath form and will not be submitted anywhere.
There may be some customizations on the form that is to submit the attachments to the document library.
Please check the links below if the customizations are made in the form.

How can I automatically email the completed form as a pdf for signing to the respondent?

how can I automatically email the completed form as a pdf for signing to the respondent?

Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

How to use many submit buttons in an one html form

I'm doing a simple program to insert, edit, delete data from a web page to an database
but the problem is that in an html form , you are allowed to put only 1 submit button.
I heard that you can take the action of many buttons, for a one form using java script
if anyone have a better idea or else have this simple java script, please help me
Thank you very much

Give the buttons an unique name.
In the servlet just check if the button is pressed or not by determining if HttpServletRequest#getParameter() doesn't return null for the button name.There are a couple of "gotchas" when using this technique of dispatching with certain html controls. Most of them browser related.
If you are using <input type="image" name="myButton"> as a submit button, be aware that Internet Explorer will submit the parameters "myButton.x" and "myButton.y" giving the x,y co-ordinates of where you clicked on the button. And won't submit any other value. So calling request.getParameter("myButton") would return null. You have to test for request.getParameter("myButton.x");
If you are using <input type="button" name="myButton"> with Internet Explorer all of the buttons are deemed "successful". So calling request.getParameter("myButton") will never return null.
At least thats the way it works in IE6. And thats what I'm stuck with at work right now, so thats what gets used. It may be fixed in later versions, but I don't have any info on that.

Submit button doesn't work when form is uploaded to website

I created a form with a submit button that works well when I open the form from my documents. However, once I upload that same form to my website, the submit button doesn't work. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

If the form is opened in the browser, it is probably using the browser's built-in PDF viewer (e.g., Chrome and Firefox), which likely does not support the submit action. It's possible to disable the built-in viewer and configure it so Adobe Reader is used to view the PDF and the submit button should work. This will be something each user would have to set up, so providing instructions is a good idea.

CP 8.01 - Hiding the Submit button when returning to Quiz slide

Hi,
After answering a quiz and returning to the same slide later on, the submit button is still present but disabled. I would like for it to be removed/hidden entirely since IMO, I do not think that you have to display it once you have answered the question. Is there a way to do this?
David

Captivate provides no way to do this. You cannot hide the Submit button another object either.

How can I set the submit button to email only certain pages of the pdf not the entire pdf?

We have a pdf that is a hundred pages or so where each page is an individual product that the customer can select for purchase. At the end of the pdf is an order form. We want to be able to email just the few pages which are the form as a pdf. The default function of the submit button is to email back the entire pdf. As there any way to just select whcih pages would be submitted?

The problem is for people not using an email client like Outlook. In the version of Reader my boss was using, you had to save the FDF file to your hard disk and then open your browser to go to your web based email and write an email and attach the file. In the newest version of Reader it will open a browser window and create a draft for you, but he thought it was to much work if people were using older versions of Reader. He was really looking for something straightforward where all they had to do is push a button and it was submitted.

EMail Submit button with mailto: based on form data

Based on form data, I would like to have an email button that sends mail to the email address identified in the email field. Obviously this can change, how would one go about programming a button to send to email based on field data?
Thx...
/cw

Hi Chris,
Yes this can be easily done. I gathered the following solutions from various threads and so I am not claiming any originality here...
Set up a textfield "Email", with a tooltip telling users to separate email addresses with a ";".
Next set up a regular button with the following Javascript in the click event:
var email = xfa.resolveNode("form1.#subform.Email").rawValue;
var subject = "Specify your subject line here"
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto: "+ email +"?subject=" + subject +"&body=You can also input some standard text to appear in the body of the email.",cSubmitAs:"PDF",cCharset:"utf-8"});
You might want to put an if statement that if the "Email" textfield is blank/null that an app.alert comes up informing the user to input at least one email address.
We took it a stage further on one of our forms. We set up three checkboxes with people's names who are regularly sent the form (nod and cc1 and cc2) and then a textfield "additional" for additional addresses.
Each checkbox had an associated Textfield (EM1_email, cc1_email, and cc2_email) that were invisible. Each checkbox had similar Javascript in the mouse up event:
if (this.rawValue == 0) {
EM1_email.rawValue = null;
else {
EM1_email.rawValue = "[email protected];";
Then we set up another invisible textfield (Email) which had the following Formcalc in the calculate event:
if (nod.rawValue == 0 & cc1.rawValue == 0 & cc2.rawValue == 0) then
$ = null
else
$ = Concat(EM1_email, cc1_email, cc2_email, additional)
endif
This basically pulled the email addresses from the ticked checkboxes and the additional user inputted email addresses into one text field. From there the regular button with the script above send the email. This speeded up the process for regular reciptents.
If you search the forum for topics such as cURL:"mailto: you should see lots of other examples.
Good luck,
Niall

Is it possible to receive answers in a completed form like a pdf rather than a database?

This may be a rather odd question, but a client would need to receive answers in a format that can be saved as a record. For example if the user were to fill in the form on paper there would be a hard copy of the questions and their answers. Would this be possible with FormCentral? Could this be received as an attachment in a notification?

I don't know if it is the best solution but you could filter the results to just that client's answers on the summary tab and then PDF that.
