Submit button won't email

Currently my os is windows 7. I have created a form using acrobat 9 pro and when I test the submit button instead of opening up the email it asks me to save the form. Before my os was switched I wasn't having this problem. Can anyone tell what the problem may be?

Submit Button won't work

I need some help. I put a form on my page in Dreamweaver 8
and my submit button is not sending the data back to my email
address. Is there particular settings I need to have this done. Can
anyone help me?

Here is my code for my form. It is a really basic form, I
just don't know why the submit button won't send to my email.

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 Form button won't email form

Hi,
I've made a form and followed a few different tutorials to put a submit button on the form so that my customers can email the form back without saving it separately etc. I've used the 'mailto:emailaddress' bit but it won't send.
I'm getting this error message:
Any help would be much appreciated please! I'm totally baffled, I've tried everything I can think of!

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 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

Customise the email submit button with custom email, cc, bcc, subject and body - almost working!!

Hi
I have been working on trying to customise the email submit button to custom entry email address, cc, bcc, subject etc etc
You can use the pre-submit function on the email button
I am using the following code:
this.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").format = formatlist.rawValue;
this.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:"+customemail.rawValue+"?subject="+subject.rawValue+"&cc="+cc.rawValue+"&bcc="+bcc.rawValue+"&body="+body.rawValue;
THis is picking up values from a dropdown and a series of text boxes the values of each area.
This works beautifully except for the subject area. For some reason teh subject area copies the entire srting from the subject onwards, all other areas (cc & bcc & body) all only copy the value assigned to its function.
Any thoughts
Feels like a bug in the coding but it may also be intentional.
Thanks

I believe that there was a bug logged for this issue, here is a workaround.
Add a regular button to the form used to execute the EmailSubmit button (you can make the EmailSubmit button invisible)
On the click event of the "newly added" regular button add your script
NameOfEmailSubmitButton.event__click.resolveNode("#submit").target = "mailto:"+customemail.rawValue+"?subject="+subject.rawValue+"&cc="+cc.rawValue+"&bcc="+bcc.rawValue+"&body="+body.rawValue;
NameOfEmailSubmitButton.execEvent("click");

Form submit button won't work in most browsers

I have a PDF form which I created in InDesign, then added Form fields in Acrobat XI Pro, including a submit and print button. These work fine in Acrobat Reader, but in many browsers (Chrome, Firefox) the "submit" button doesn't work. It works fine in Safari. Since most people filling out an application do it right within the browser, rather than downloading it and opening in Adobe Reader, this is a problem.
The file in question is here:

Shouldn't this work within any browswer?
Thanks!

Yes, it should, and it does. The problem is that Chrome and Firefox come with their own PDF viewers, which do a very bad job, especially with forms.
Users need to disable the Chrome / Firefox PDF viewers, then enable the Adobe Reader add-on.
Firefox, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-adobe-reader-plugin-view-or-download-pdf-files and also http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1158136

You may also encounter additional problems with Safari on Mac OS.

Form "Submit" button won't center in MSIE 8

I have a simple (not yet working) form on a page that I'm designing (url below) that has a "Submit" button at the bottom of the form. I have created a class called .center which sets top and bottom margin values, plus "auto" for left and right margins. And it sets display to "block". I have applied that class to the "Submit" button. It appears centered in Firefox, but not in MSIE 8. Can someone tell me why, and let me know how I might get the button to center in both browsers?

Code issue in php form - submit button not sending email

Created a form that was originally supposed to open up to 2 pages depending on what was clicked. Clear would send you to an error page, and submit would send you to a thank you page. Decided that was a waste and so did not create the html pages. BUT, wanted the form info for the contact page.
Here is the issue: it will not submit when submit is clicked. It clears when you click clear, but there's no email coming from the site via submit.
Do I need to edit the php form code if I don't want the other pages? I've looked at what I have but I don't see if there is a form error or anything here. Here is the code for anyone who wants to have a look. Thanks in advance.
<?php
// get posted data into local variables
$EmailFrom = "EMAIL FROM WEP PAGE - CONTACT - ";
$EmailTo = "[email protected]";
$Subject = "EMAIL FROM jennylowhar.com - CONTACT -";
$name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$telephone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['telephone']));
$email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email']));
$comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['comments']));
// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($name)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($email)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
exit;
// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "name: ";
$Body .= $name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "telephone: ";
$Body .= $telephone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "email: ";
$Body .= $email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "comments: ";
$Body .= $comments;
$Body .= "\n";
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankyou.html\">";
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.php\">";
?>

I'm confused by that, but I know this works.
$fname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['fname']);
$lname=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['lname']);
$title=STRIPSLASHES($_POST['title']);

Help with making an Email Submit button on a form!

Im making a form using livecycle for the first time.
Im trying to put on it a email submit button - i used email submit field and made the button. Then in the Objects Palette, in the box that says email address i put in the email address that i want it to be sent to. I then tried to email the form, and i received an email, but the attachment was just a bunch of codes, not the form. I want the email to come through with the PDF form.
I searched on help and this is what i found:
3.
In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.
4.
Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.
To
Use this URL protocol
Example
Submit the package to an ftp site
ftp
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server
http
http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server
https
https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address
mailto
mailto:[email protected]
5.
Select PDF from the Submit As list.
I cant find where to change these options - can someone help?
Thanks!

Hi,
The issue is that if the form is not Reader Enabled, then users with Reader cannot submit the form as a PDF.
They can submit it as an XML file and then you would re-import this back into the form on receipt. It is an extra step, but it does have the advantage that the data being submitted as an XML file is very small.
If you really need/want the form to be submitted as a PDF AND your users have Reader, then the form will have to be Reader Enabled.
There are two options:
Reader Enable using Acrobat Standard (version 9) or Acrobat Professional (version 8). This will give certain rights, like the ability for users with Reader to save the form and for the form to be submitted as a PDF. However there are licensing restrictions, see EULA.
The other option is to Reader Enable the form using LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2. This is a server product, which entails additional cost and a cost to Reader Enable each form. It is intended for processing large volumes of forms/large volumes of data.
There is a summary here:
http://assure.ly/gYyYc2
So there are a couple of options.
Form NOT Reader Enabled:
Users cannot save the data they input.
Data must be submitted as an XML file and processed on receipt.
Form IS Reader Enabled:
Users can save the data they input.
Data can be submitted as a PDF (or XML file).
Hope that helps,
Niall

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.

Submit Button Acrobat 9 Pro & Select Email Client Screen

I'm new to Acrobat and creating forms and need help. I've created a few forms for work using 8 Pro, which have been successful. I decided to purchase 9 Pro for home and use for our school's PTU membership drive.
I created a form using a Word doc and the Acrobat Form Wizard. It worked, I adjusted my fields, added a Submit button with mailto:[email protected] as the URL and want to distribute the form as "save and distribute later." This works. When I bring up the form for a test run, and submit to myself I get a pop up asking to Select Email Client - do I use Outlook (a few others are also listed) or Yahoo or Hotmail as my email servers. If I click Outlook, everything is fine, the document gets forwarded to me with no problem (because I use Outlook). My concern is for members who don't use Outlook (or the others). They have to go through more steps by saving the doc to their hard drive and emailing it to me as an attachment. I would really like to avoid extra steps for them.
It there a something I'm missing in setting up my Submit button so it automatically gets emailed to me irregardless as to what they are using for email server?
I have searched for 2 hours and have come up with nothing that I understand. If you respond, please remember to be clear as I'm not a techno person.
Thanks for ANY and ALL help you can provide.

You are running into some of the classic problems/concerns for new users with forms. I will try to summarize the issues related to your work:
1. You can create forms directly in Acrobat under the TOOLS menu using the form tools found there, or by selecting the options in the FORMS menu that generally take you to LiveCycle Designer. Questions on the forms should be put to the appropriate forum of these two, since the processing and menus are different.
2. Having the forms be allowed to be saved (necessary for submitting the full form and not just the data that can be imported to the form) requires Reader Rights to be activated for clients using Reader. This activation limits the form use to 500 uses (check section 15 of the EULA for more details) that could be a problem for you, depending on the school size. If you have the form data submitted and do not activate the Rights, then there is not a limitation. Simply import the XML or FDF file into the form when you get it.
3. The e-mail submission you have concerns about is valid. If you do not mind getting questions that it would not work on their machine, then fine. The e-mail submission will not work on all machines (PC , MAC, or UNIX). It depends on the client setup (you have no control), historically requiring MAPI to be active (typical of Outlook, but not other packages). In AA9/AR9 there appear to have been some extensions to this, but a lot of folks use version 9. In fact I have a different version that has come on every machine I have and do not have AA9 yet (AA4-AA8), with even older versions lying around some place. A few weeks ago someone checked in who was using AA4. Since I mentioned this problem, the solutions are:
a. live with it and ask folks who can not submit to copy the info into the body of an e-mail or such.
b. find someone who can add the proper scripts to a web server to receive the data. The school IT folks (if any) might be able to help there.
c. submit the data in HTML form through a cgi-mail or formmail server that is available on many ISP servers (you may have to ask). These servers require some hidden fields telling the server where to send the submitted form data.
Hope that helps. Bill

Email Submit Button not Submitting Full Form

Hi guys
I'm new to LiveCycle Designer, so my problem may be something very simple that I have missed.
I have a simple form which I intend to use for my clients to book training sessions with. It will be emailed to them or downloaded from my website to be completed and the submitted to me via the email submit button on the bottom of page 2.
My form doesn't have any fancy coding or dynamic content - just simple text fields and drop down boxes. The subform spreads 2 pages and everything is included in just the one subform.
The email submit button composes an email with the xml file attached, but the xml file only contains the data from the tabulated fields on page 2 - page 1 is completely ignored.
Can anyone help me out with this please, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi,
If you look at the Object / Binding tab and then select the various subforms and objects. You will see that on page 1 these are set to "None"; whereas you will need these set to "Normal", like the table on page 2.
If the binding is "None" then an xml submit will not return these values. If the binding is "Normal" then the data will be returned.
Good luck,
Niall

Submit button for email problem

I want to add a submit button that the user can click on and that the button opens up an Outlook email message w/ the form attached. I know how to add a submit button with "mailto" [email protected] but that's not what I want. I want the button to simply open a new outlook message window. The form will be used across the organization and want the ability for it to be emailed to various people whenever needed.
Can anyone assist??

Thank you! That worked!
