Submit by Email function

Hi
I am using livecycle ES4 with Adobe Acrobat XI pro. I have an email submit button on my form. Currently when a user clicks on the email button their email software opens up with the form as an attachment, and they have to then press 'send'. My question is - can the form be emailed 'seamlessly' to the specified email address with a click of the email button WITHOUT the email software opening up?
Hope you understand!
Thanks

If you submit to a URL of a server side script such as PHP or ASP.net, you can bypass 3rd party email software such as OUTLOOK.

Submit by email function on adobe reader

I'm trying to apply for a job using an online application on the company's website. The company uses adobe reader. After filling out all the information I click on the submit by email button and get a message saying, "please on enter numerical data for your DOB, etc 01/01/2005 should be entered as 01012005." This is frustrating because I am entering the information as the program asks. After entering my DOB in purely numerical form Adobe adds "/"es after I click on another box. Furthermore, a friend of has successfully filled out the data and submitted the form. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

'Submit by Email' Button:
I am having a similar issue to one that has already been posted.
When an email message gets created, the following message appears alongside the email address,
The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 for more details.
Do I need to be concerned about this? Will the email still work? Our customers will be using this form to register for an event, so I don't want to send it out if it does not function properly.
FYI...I am using Designer 7.0.

Submit by Email - asks "as a link or an attachment"

Have designed a form in Acrobat that we want our customers to fill out and return to us via email by clicking on a button.
We have created a button that has the submit by email function.
We have enabled reader rights on the document.
However, when we click the button, the user gets a screen asking:
"How would you like to email this document?
Send a link (URL) to the original, unmodified pdf file on the web?
Send a copy of the pdf file, including your changes, as an attachment?"
All we want to happen is the last option: Send a copy of the pdf file. Is there a setting somewhere that we can tag to skip the scenario above and just proceed to open Outlook and attach the pdf as a file.
Thanks for any suggestions

Apparently this happens if the client is using a webmail client.
If Outlook is the default, Outlook creates a new email with the form as an attachment without a problem.
Not sure about OE or other email clients.
Due to the number of people using webmail, I would be cautious about using the "send as email" function in Adobe.

Submit by email with Mac OS

Hi there,
First time posting. Thanks to everyone who is so amazing at answering questions here. I've learned alot.
I have a form created with Live Cycle Designer ES4. I have enabled reader rights by doing "Save as other" in Acrobat Pro.
The "Submit by Email" function is setup to send the "complete PDF" as an attachment. It works GREAT on a PC - perfect actually! I get that popup box asking if I want to use my 'default email application' or 'webmail'.
On a MAC however, that same button does nothing when pressed. I have made sure I am using the latest version of Adobe Reader on the mac and that I am not viewing the form through preview or any other app.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I can get this working on a MAC?
Thanks so much in advance!

It’s a wonder you could understand what I meant and glad you got it figured out here is an improved version of what I tried to say: (May help others struggling with same issue.
Sorry No advice. You can't, because Adobe it its shortsightedness hasn't built in XML based PDF support into the Mac Version. And probably never will. Adobe after 20-25 years still considers Macs as toys not really meant for serious work. Despite the fact, were it not for Mac users, And Adobe writing products for Mac first, they would still amount to a Font House today. For two years or more they wrote exclusively for Mac until PC's accepted them, after Mac Users worked the bugs out. Then we were all but abandoned.
We can read XML based PDF's, but can do nothing with them . What we can do, is re-save them which converts them to Plain PDF's. Then go to Forms Manager, and setup the form which will work on all Platforms.
So what you need to do is if you want your audience to include Mac users as well is avoid Lifecycle created forms and don't use any XML Based PDF Form . Create regular PDF forms and will it work on any platform.

Submit by email questions

Hi there,
A few questions about the submit by email function.
1. We have [email protected] addresses. When we hit submit, it only brings up [email protected] How can I make the whole email show up on the email program?
2. I am getting a "Operation not permitted" error when other people are testing the form. They are completing it with Adobe Reader and it's just not working even if they've filled out all the necessary sections. Any ideas?
3. Is there a way to make the information come via email in plain text (or pdf that cannot be edited) vs. surrounded by html coding or an editable pdf?
I am using Designer 7
Thanks for all of the help,
M

>2. I am getting a "Operation not permitted" error when other people are testing the form. They are completing it with Adobe Reader and it's just not working even if they've filled out all the necessary sections. Any ideas?
Maybe you are trying to submit in PDF format rather than form data.
Reader doesn't do that.

>3. Is there a way to make the information come via email in plain text (or pdf that cannot be edited) vs. surrounded by html coding or an editable pdf?
Editable PDF is not for Reader. If you want to reformat the e-mail
received, the form should be submitted to a web server, which receives
the data and sends out a formatted e-mail.
This is STRONGLY recommended. There are MANY reasons not to think of
"submitting by e-mail" directly.

Submit by Email Button won't function

Hope this has n't been answered too many times before. Couldn't find anything so wopuld appreciate any help...
Anyhoo,
Have created a samiple plain old form in Acrobat/Live Cycle with the Email and Print buttons on top.
When I send it to someone with Acrobat it works fine, however....
If they do not have Acrobat and only have Reader on their PC, the Submit by Email button does not function (although the Print one does).
You initially get a information box telling you it will send data this way, but once closed it has no functionality...
Obviously I am doing something wrong as usual but can't figure it out. It is saved out as a Adobe Static PDF file....
Any help please please please..

YOu have to Reader Extend the form to allow this. Open it in Acrobat and under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" option. This will start a wizard. Take all of the default settings. Once finsihed save the file and distribute that saved file.

Font size issue with the email functionality of infopath form

Hi,
We have a SharePoint list created and customised the form to send the form via email using email functionality in infopath form.
We have made the font size of the form fields( rich text box) to 11. But it is showing as 10 in email. Also for a text box we set the font size to 14. But it is 13.5 in the email.
Could anyone please let me know how to fix this issue?

Yes, this is normal. Forms Services has to convert the form to an aspx page, and things get lost in translation when this gets submitted via email. My workaround has always been to set static widths to columns/controls, but you said that didn't work
for you? It's always worked for me.

Submit by email button ignoring specified email address and subject

I have recently upgraded to CS5.5 and I am having trouble with the Submit by Email button in my form.
When I distribute the form the email address and subject specified on the button are ignored. Instead, the form is submitted to my email address with the subject of 'Submitting Completed Form'.
I have tried creating the form a number of different ways (i.e. converting PDF created in inDesign, just in Acrobat from scratch, just in Livecycle Designer from scratch) with no success and the same result. I have found I can change the email address if I go to Acrobat X Pro: Edit > Preferences > Identity but this is not an adequate work-around and does not fix the issue of the subject.
My company develops forms for both internal and external clients that require this functionality. The email subject is used to help identify which form it is and routes it to the appropriate department.
I have searched the web and this forum for answers but have not found an answer.
My question is: How do I get the 'Submit by Email' button to work correctly?
I have created many forms before using CS3 and have never encountered this problem. At the moment the only way I can see to fix the problem is to go back to CS3 which seems ridiculous. I thought later versions of software were supposed to work better not look the same and not work (sorry for the rant, frustration is getting the better of me).
I need to use the Distribute Form as it states in the LiveCycle help:
If you do not use the Distribute feature, form recipients who use Adobe Reader cannot save modifications to most PDF files, including forms filled with data. They must either immediately return their data electronically or print the form and return the paper copy.
I am using Acrobat 10 Pro and Livecycle Designer on Windows 7 64-Bit
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What you are seeing is the intended behavior and I'm not sure why is has changed.
When you distribute a form, it substitutes the email address you originally set up with the button with the one specified in your identity preference and the subject is set to "Submitting Completed Form". It makes a number of other changes to the document that make the distribution workflow possible. I do know that different code is used if the form is being used in a version of Acrobat/Reader prior to 9.
With an acroform (not XFA), you can save a copy of the distributed form, allowing you to edit the scripts that among other things set the subject line of the email, so that a different subject line text is used. You can then re-enable the form and it should work OK. The problem is knowing exactly what needs to be changed and finding it, and I'm not certain that this is possible with an XFA form. I normally work with acroforms and know where to do it in Acrobat, but things are different in LiveCycle Designer.

Proper syntax for email function including a repeat region

Hey Guys, a fellow ADDT developer and myself ran into a odd challenge recently and was wondering if someone knew a shorter answer.
LET ME BE CLEAR..I’m not looking for a suggestion, we have resolved the problem..we ARE LOOKING FOR PROPER or shortest FORMAT.
(we used a submit redirect to a php page that used the “Send Page Section” and then redirected back..the email looks great)
This may be a mood point since ADDT is going away but, until then, we feel this will be an useful post because quite often you may have multiple products to email from your SQL statement.
With that said. We used the send email function on submit.
1.       Our email content was a HTML content file. Since it was not a php file our repeat region obviously did not work.
2.       We substituted the HTML file for PHP (just for giggles)..no joy
3.       We tried regular content as a string..no joy
We know how to get single rows with the {table.column} format…but we need to list all undetermined number of products/rows.
So how would the string or function re-write look if you needed a repeat region.
EX:
emailContent (“ this” . ‘does’. “work”); regular string
emailContent (“ this” . $var   . “work”); regular string
emailContent (“ this” .   do{ $row; } while( xxx = xxx) . “work”); DOES NOT WORK
emailContent (“ this” .   while( xxx = xxx) { $row; } . “work”);    DOES NOT WORK
I assume the conflict is you can’t have a function like DO or While in the string….but I also can’t use a php include file.
There must be a shorter, cleaner syntax that won’t require an advanced set of arrays or for each???
so how would a nice clean example of repeat region results inside email content, or include file for email contnent, look?
Thanks

David, in theory I agree with you, but to a large degree I am completely changing the logic of my human interface. My existing code pre-processes the raw data and saves the results to disk for any future usage.
It can then rapidly rebuild all pages for the entire Intranet site when your personal view of the data is changed.
After the full creation of all pages, the fixed pages can be viewed using your browser.
When you want to change your view, you run the code which completely rebuilds every Intranet page.
My new software will approach the data differently. My raw data will be stored with no pre-processing. The pre-processing will occur as the user changes dates and the pages will be built individually on demand, one at a time.
The second phase of my Windows Form app will be to create pop-up windows that allow the users to modify the definitions for their custom views of the market.
When a view is changed, the software will be able to pre-process, as needed, the current date’s data and rebuild the current page with any new changes.
I intend to create a Refresh.cpp file. The various segments of the Form’s code will set variable such as date change, view changed, watch list changed, etc. and then call Refresh().
The refresh code will then be able to do the minimum recalculation necessary to rebuild the proper HTML stream.
This is another reason to break up the code into various cpp segments such as: LoadRawData, RecalculateViews, BuildPage, etc.
PS: David, I tried to send you a personal e-mail using your home page link.
Hope that was OK and not against forum rules!

Email functionality?

The following text I found at the URL below that talks about delivering your content via email. Is there documentation on how to use and implement custom delivery channels? Also could you tell me what email functionality Ebusiness 11.5.10 or where are documents on it?
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/index.html
Deliver to Anywhere
Deliver your content via printer, e-mail, fax, WebDav, or publish your report to a portal. The Delivery Manager's open architecture allows for easy implementation of custom delivery channels, as well.
Thank you,
Mark

I was able to use a pl/sql and a generic email program to send out reports generated from BI publisher.
This may look complicated but is easy if you break it out .
Requirement:- Sales order summary report need to be send to sales agents as a nightly run.
The process is simple
1) create a generic email program that will accept the directory and has the capability to read blob then attach to the email.
2) create a DIRECTORY in oracle database to point to APPLOUT
3) create a custom package that will submit the concurrent program that will create the pdf report.note make sure to add the layout before submitting the concurrent program sample
APPS.FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT('XBOL','XXCPD_OEXDRCAP','en-US','US','PDF');
4) Based on your environment the output pdf will be created in the APPLOUT location in the format SHORT_NAME_REQUESTID_1.pdf
5) call your generic email program to email this pdf.
This is only an alternative method instead of messing around with java code. What i have seen is if the pl/sql is generic this is a repeatable and transportable process.
Thank you,
Tom

Submit via email: Error

Hi- Been trying to make a functioning "Submit via email" button. I used the Form rather than the Submit buttin in Livecycle, chose PDF in the Object menu, and put my list of email addresses in there. This is for inter-office use only, we all use Outlook. I have saved my Livecycle form as Reader-Enabled. Our employees will be filling the form in Adobe Reader, then I would like them to be able to just click a button on the form to email the filled PDF to everyone else in the company (all the addresses in the Object palette field).
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/78503370/AFBS_NewFacility_DRE.pdf
I think it worked once when I tested it in Livecycle Preview. Now, testing it in both Acrobat and Reader, absolutely nothing happens.
How on earth can I get this to work?
many thanks!
Laura

Hi Radzmar,
Thank you for responding! When I look at the button on the Object palette, it says that it's a regular button: not an email button, not an http button: how can you tell it's an http button?
I had read in the forums that you have to use the regular button in the Object Library to create an email submit button because the email button in the Object Library does not allow you to specify to email as a PDF rather than just the data. At this point I'm a little confused...
Many thanks!
Laura

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.

How can I re-enable the "are you sure you want to delete this email" function?

When I click delete my emails get deleted with one click. I accidentally click delete and they get lost in my trash folder often. How can I enable the "are you sure you want to delete this email" function?

The following previous discussion may help: Re: Delete Confirmation Warning. I want back.

Is there a way to disable 'Save as' and 'Send Email' function in Acrobat XI?

Hi,
Is there a way to disable 'Save as' and 'Send Email' function in Acrobat XI?
Thnx in advance.

I would hope there would be no way to disable Save AS that would reduce the applicationss capability. What are you trying to prevent happening?
