Submit by email as PDF issue

I have a PDF form with submit by URL button. When used 'select email client' box pops up. If by desktop email, button works fine. If by internet email you have to save the pdf. But my PDF will not save to my computer when testing the form. It allows you to browse and save, but then states for security the file has been saved in temp docs. But when trying to locate the file it is not there and has not saved?!? Any ideas or help would be great!
Thanks

If you want people to be able to submit the entire PDF instead of just the data then you will need to "Reader Extend" the form using Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES. If the volume and number of users is low (please read the EULA for complete details) then you may also extend the form using Acrobat.

Submit by Email as PDF attachment instead of XML

We created a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer and added a "Submit by Email" button. When the user selects the button, an email message starts but the attachment is an XML extension. How can we change that so when the button is selected, the attachment comes as the completed form in PDF?
Thanks,
Tim

EMAIL PO (PDF) issue

Hi Friends,
I am testing the email PO to supplier functionality.
I am able to receive a mail to the specified supplier mail id.
But the email does not have the Purchase Order PDF as an attachment. It has "Notification Detail.html" and "Notification References.html" as the two attachments.
However I am able to see the PO in PDF format in the system through Oracle Purchasing Responsibility.
One more thing I have observed is even the mail is delivered to supplier mail Id the status for the notification is OPEN and mail_status is FAILED in the workflow notification tables.
I even tried to make use of the "Communicate" Option in the Purchase Order action list to send the PO PDF document to supplier.
Even though it says the request is submitted, the PO was not sent.
Please help to resolve this issue.

Submit button email pdf issue

Good day all,
I have made a PDF form with Livecycle Designer ES and ran into a problem.
Found out how to insert a button that sends the form by email, as PDF file attachment, so far so good.
One problem, my form which consists of several text fields, a drop down list and several radio button groups, is sent but only the first radio button group is filled in the attachment, the rest is simply empty...
Maybe one of you guys guide me in the right direction, I'm lost.
best regards,
Henk van den Berg

You made me think...... wrapping them in sub-forms...
I tried to go with the original radio buttons, wrapped the pairs up in individual sub-forms and it works prefect now!
The manual says nothing about this issue, nevertheless many thanks for pointing me towards a good solution man.
best regards,
Henk van den Berg

Submit by Email with CC for a pdf as an attachment

Hello,
I am using the codes below for a regular submit button to submit by email and having a problem of CC address. I hard-coded the CC address but it does not seem to recognize it, it keep taking the address in the "To" to put on the CC address. Can any one please check for me if there is any wrong with the codes below on the mouse up event:
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
var cCCAddr = "[email protected]";
//Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Craft Issue Tracking Form";
var cBody = "Please see the attached form.";
// Send the form data as an FDF attachment on an e-mail
event.target.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});
Thanks in advance,
Han Dao

Try this..
If you are using a regular Button then place the below code in the click event of the button.
event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:"+ cToAddr + "?cc=" + cCCAddr + "&subject=" + cSubLine + "&body=" + cBody,cSubmitAs:"PDF"});
Thanks
Srini
var cToAddr = "[email protected]";
var cCCAddr = "[email protected]";
//Set the subject and body text for the e-mail message
var cSubLine = "Craft Issue Tracking Form";
var cBody = "Please see the attached form.";
// Send the form data as an FDF attachment on an e-mail

How do I make a button onj the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

how do I make a button on the form which will submit and send the pdf as an email?

You can set up a button with a "Submit a form" action and use a mailto type URL to specify the email address you want the forms sent do. If you want to send the entire PDF, select that option and not FDF or anything else. The mailto URL should not include any spaces and the "mailto" part should be lowercase, like:
mailto:[email protected]
This will attempt to initiate an email using the users default email client. If the user does not have one set up or there is some other problem, the email might not get initiated. If it needs to work with Reader versions prior to 11, then the form needs to be Reader-enabled, which you do in Acrobat 11 by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

Submit by Email AS a PDF (urgent - time crunch)

I'm creating a form to be distributed externally to clients via email. I'd like them to be able to fill in the form, then click Submit by Email and have a completed PDF sent back to me (which we save in clients files for our records in an attempt at paperlessness). I've got the Submit by Email button in my form now, but apparently the default submission format is XML not PDF. Is there a way to change this?
Thanks - Sat

Paul,
Appreciating your explanations.
I never knew that we could submit our form in these many ways.
Your examples are informative and very useful to me.
I have another question: Can we close the pdf after submitting the form to an email address??
I mean, a user fills-in a User Acceptance Form and clicking on submit button. This should trigger an email (internally) and the form should close.
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Nith

Submit by email doesn't work in Acrobat Reader to send PDF

I am making a fillable PDF and users on Acrobat Reader cannot email pdf, only data file. I need them to be able to send a pdf. What am I doing wrong?

Don't use the regular "'submit by email button." If you use this button, you can only submit the data as XML. Instead, make your own button.
In the Object library under Standard objects, click and drag a plain button to your form. Change the Control Type to Submit. Now you should have a new tab called Submit with a "submit to URL" option. In that field type the return email address in the following format: mailto:[email protected] Toward the bottom of the same option, there is a field that says "submit" and the choice is XML data package. Change that to PDF. Then change the name of the button to "Submit by Email." Now when you preview your form and click the Submit by Email button, it should mail the completed form as a PDF instead of simply mailing the raw data.

Acrobat extended pro - Submit by Email form issue

I have downloaded a trial version of Acrobat Extended Pro that I am reviewing to purchase for work. I am trialling the creation of a form that I want users to submit via email. - I want the completed PDF to be submitted in the email, which the help information states can be done. I have placed the Submit by Email button on the form, but I don't have the option of selecting the 'Submit' tab to be able state that I want the completed PDF to go in the email. Is it because I'm using a trial version or is there something else I am doing incorrectly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

George,
Thanks But when I go to the Reader Extended PDF option under Save As the Three options that appear are grayed out? Any Idea how to fix that?

How do I submit my form as PDF in email?

I just completed a PDF form with a Submit by email button, I was able to set the email id but when i press Submit by Email button, it attaches an XML. How do I make LiveCycle Designer save the form as pdf and attach it to the set email id? Help please

Open your form in Acrobat Professional. Using the Advanced pull down menu choose, "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". You'll get a warning message which includes the following note - "Once reader enabled, certain functions,such as editing document content or inserting and deleting pages will be restricted." Read so you are sure this is what you want then choose Save Now. Reader rights are now enabled.
To answer your question on usage rights, I went right to the acrobate users group and copied their indepth explanation
"To summarize the EULA as it relates to enabling PDFs, you are granted permission for enabling a PDF for a maximum of 500 uses. This means that if you post a PDF enabled form on your Web site and 500 people fill out the form, you're within the licensing agreement. If you enable a form where more than 500 people fill out and submit the form back to you, you're not complying with the licensing in the EULA. There are many uses for staying within the 500 limit. You might want to enable files used as a purchase order form, a travel expense form, a vacation leave form, etc. The form can be used by several Adobe Reader users many times, but needs to stay within the 500 use limitation.
For a huge number of appliications this new enabling feature is designed for people who don't have industrial strength needs for forms distribution that require purchase of LRES. A charity golf tournament, a small conference, a PTA event, etc. are all likely candidates for using the new enabling features in Acrobat Professional."

How do I encrypt pdf form on Submit by email

Hi,
Is there anyway to encrypt the pdf form after the user clicks on the "Submit by Email" button?
I have Acrobat 9.

Though an encrypted PDF (i.e. one with security settings) does nothing to protect your data in transit. The PDF can still be opened by anyone who intercepts the mail.
If data is sensitive email isn't suitable. You need to submit to a web site, using the secure https protocol.

Hi all I am having some dificulty with a submit button for emailing a PDF

I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 to create an order form with a submit by email button at the end.
The button works fine and emails the form to sales@*.ie. My problem is the form is editable by the receipt which I dont want.
Is there a way of creating a pre submit script to change the file to read only or non-interactive and removing the print and submit buttons.
I have been at this for hours and have looked every where and have not found anything.
I am new to this and would appreciate the help.
Thanks

Thanks, That worked
I was pulling my hair out

Submit by Email problem

I created a form with "submit by email" button. When I click on the button it opens into my email just fine, but the email address is listed twice. I checked the object information and the address is only entered once. Can anyone help?

Before you go too far on the on e-mail submission, what is the purpose of the form in terms of distribution and are you having the PDF or the data submitted. The PDF is an issue, as is e-mail submission itself. They both have problems and more information is needed before you bother with completing what you are trying to do.
As far as the link, it should be only listed 1 time in the submit button icon.

Submit By Email button not working in FireFox 25.0.1

If the form is saved to desktop or opened in IE, we are not seeing any issues. However, when clicking on the submit by email button in in FireFox 25.0.1, a pop-up appears to choose the default email program or a web email program. We use Outlook and it is set by default. After checking the Outlook option, the form freezes for about a minute and the email window with the PDF attached never appears.
I'm using the built-in Submit By Email button in Livecycle Designer 9.
<event name="event__click" activity="click">
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:[email protected]?subject=EBSS User Renewal Request- Approval Needed Request"/>
</event>

If the PDF submits to a server-side script URL it can bypass client-side email software.
Try the online PDF submission examples and see if it works for you in Mozilla FireFox:
http://www.pdfemail.net/examples/
You should also make sure the browser is using the Adobe Reader plugin as the default PDF reader.
