Submit e-mail issue  - LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I have set up a form with a submit and e-mail button. when I submit the form, my mail software opens up with the form attached, but in the TO field the e-mail address from the submit button appears twice. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks.

Hi,
This is what we are using:
var vEmail = toEmail.rawValue;
var vSubject = subjectLine.rawValue;
var vBody =  messageLine.rawValue;
if (vEmail != null && vSubject != null && vBody != null)
     event.target.app.mailMsg({
     bUI: true,
     cTo: vEmail,
     cSubject: vSubject,
     cMsg: vBody
else
     app.alert("Please provide information above before sending email!");
Sample here: https://acrobat.com/#d=0T85TMIsVEJd4XKsPLq7Fg
Hope that helps,

  • Grouping issue- LiveCycle Designer 7.0

    Hello,
    We are trying for the past few days to create a dynamic PDF that uses an XML Data source to parse and display grouped information, We have taken a look at the samples but none of them seem to be helpful in this case.
    For ex.
    If we have a XML data source like:
      1
      john
      smith
      1
      jane
      smith
      2
      mike
      jones
      2
      michelle
      jones
    We would want the output PDF to display a table with grouped information like below
    LOCATION NO:1         
    First Name | Last Name | 
    John       | Smith     |
    Jane       | Smith     |
    LOCATION NO:2         
    First Name | Last Name | 
    Mike       | Jones     |
    Michelle   | Jones     |
    We have tried to create the above using SubForms, but have been so far unsuccessful, any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Prem

    Well I'm fairly new to this kind of thing still but here is what I came up with after playing around with it. There may be a better solution but here is what I came up with.
    I built a subform named "record". Inside that subform I build 3 more subforms. The first subform named "Location" contains a text field named loc_no. The next subform named "Titles" contains a couple of static text fields that I used as labels for "First name" and "Second name". The last subform named "Names" contains two text fields named "fname" and "lname". I specified all of the subforms to repeat and set the minimum occurances to 1.
    Here is what my xml file looks like that will bring the data in to the fields and add as many subforms as there is data.
    1
    FIRST 1
    LAST 1
    FIRST 2
    LAST 2
    FIRST 3
    LAST 3
    FIRST 4
    LAST 4
    2
    FIRST 1
    LAST 1
    FIRST 2
    LAST 2
    FIRST 3
    LAST 3
    I suppose you could do this with a table if you have Designer 7.1 but not everyone has it so I did this with subforms and fields arranged to make a table like design.
    Just playing around with the xml data file I have added more names and location numbers and then imported the data into the form opened up in Acrobat to see how it works. I have even specified the xml data file to be the default data file when viewing the form in PDF Preview.

    Hi,
    You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
    In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

  • Livecycle Designer 8 - Is it possible to have button to clear fields after user has clicked submit by email button so user can reuse form to send another response with different answers?

    Users will use form to fill in stats for enquiries so they want to keep form open, complete a form, click button to submit by email, then click another button to clear form, form now ready to accept form's responses.  They dont' want to keep opening form each time form needs to be completed.
    Hope you help.
    Thanks Sandra

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response, not sure what you mean by a loop.  I put together
    a draft form to show staff in our Knowledge Centre the sort of thing
    Livecycle Designer can do.
    (See attached file: Library  Request  Form_pub_0001.pdf)
    They are currently writing out on form and manually putting into excel to
    keep stats on the requests.
    Due to current Global Financial Crisis my section does not want to spend
    extra money at the moment seeking assistance from our tech heads.  So we
    are looking for least work no expense option for keeping stats.  I am a PA
    who just happens to have Livecycle program on my computer.
    We use Lotus Notes so I thought the staff could save copy of Library
    request form in the stationery folder.  The staff using the form want to be
    able to do the following:
    1. open the Library request form at the beginning of the day;
    2. when a request comes in, complete the form and click on Send by email
    button
    3. click on a Clear Data button to clear all data from all fields so the
    form is open ready for when the next request comes in.
    Staff are time poor and, as this is only one of their numerous duties, they
    don't want to keep going to a location and opening a file which can be very
    slow on some days
    Each day form may be filled out by approximately 15 staff who may receive
    anything from 0 - 4 requests a day.
    I am not a tech head so script writing is a deep, dark mystery.  Can you
    help using the form above as an example for achieving step 3 above.

    if i understand this correctly, you just want everything cleared whena

    you can either do it individually:

    or do a loop, using child/paretns..

  • LiveCycle submit e-mail address being overwritten when form is distributed

    I'm creating a form in LiveCycle Designer ES. I have an E-mail Submit button with an e-mail address of CIQuality@___.com.  When I select the File / Distribute Form option the e-mail address is overwritten in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro with my e-mail address even though I changed the Edit / Preferences / Identity / E-mail Address field to CIQuality@___.com.
    I checked the XML code in LiveCycle and CIQuality@___.com is there in the code.
    I'm lost as to how to fix this.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The button in the purple bar is present when the form is put through the Distribute Form process. This process also converts any other submit buttons it finds to do the same thing. It's not clear to me exactly how you're managing to edit the form and whether you're re-distributing it. There are a number of other things that get added when to a document when it's distributed, but they can be removed if you know what you're doing, which means you don't have to start from scratch. If you're free to email me the form, I'd be happy to do this for you: acroscript at gmail dot com
    One lesson here is always to retain a version of the form as it is before Reader-enabling or distributing.

  • ADOBE LiveCycle Designer 8 - EMAIL SUBMIT BUTTON DOES NOT WORK

    I created a new form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8, but the email submit button, nor a regular button assigned with a 'submit' function will do anything. It should initiate a new Outlook email but it does not. My default programs are set correctly (default email program and the default "mailto" program are set to Outlook). This document was created not only with ALC8, but on a Windows Vista PC with MS Office 2007. I ran a test to see if it would work on a WinXP SP2 machine with Office 2003 and it still did not work.
    Can anyone help?

    Alan
    Though not an expert, I've created a few forms with the Submit by Email button. If you've already done this then sorry for asking, but did you go through the Acrobat Distribution (Forms>Distribute Forms)process after creating the form in LC8? As far as I can tell the email submit button doesn't work without this stage.
    This confirms the email submission address, then sets up a dataset to be saved in a location of your choice.
    filename_dataset_0001.pdf
    then a file type that can be edited, saved and submitted by Reader users:
    filename_pub_0001.pdf
    You can save this to your intranet server or email direct to the recipient.
    When the submit button is then used you receive a copy of the whole form which on opening will prompt you to add it to the dataset. Receiving and adding multiple forms to the data set is straightforward. You will see them all listed in the viewer above the form itself. From here you can also then select and export the data to Excel via xml or as a csv file.
    Note that any changes you make to the form should be to the original document and the distribution process repeated, otherwise the functionality of the form will be affected.
    That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid, therefore if you have already tried this and are still having problems then hopefully someone else can help out.

  • Font Issue in Form created in LiveCycle Designer ES2

    I have a PDF form that was created originally from Word's Acrobat conversion tool. Now I need to add functionality thru LiveCycle ES2 and have imported the form into LiveCycle.
    There is a set of text running down the side which indicates it is Times New Roman (In LiveCycle). I have made the changes but have not touched this text at all.  The form is saved as a Static PDF.
    When opened in Full Acrobat or Reader, the text running down the side is no longer in Times New Roman, but Myriad Pro.  I don't understand why LiveCycle is changing the font on text that I did
    not edit at all. 
    My Livecycle Form Properties are set to Embed Fonts.
    Trying to understand what is going on with this font and any help would be appreciated as I've racked my brain all afternoon on this trying different things.
    (As part of my troubleshooting process, I reviewed the original Acrobat form and in Acrobat that same text indicates the original font used for that text was Times New Roman PSMT and if you wanted to edit it, Acrobat would substitute Times New Roman. Not sure if this helps but thought I'd mention this....)
    4/18/14 UPDATE - ISSUE FIXED FOR NOW
    My original process above was to import the PDF into LiveCycle to Dynamic XML. The text would appear as Times New Roman but after adding functionality and saving, Livecycle continued to convert the text from Times New Roman to Myriad Pro. Embedding fonts and checking substitution list did not resolve.
    After spending the day trying to get LiveCycle to save the PDF and keep the problem text in Times New Roman, I finally reimported the original Acrobat PDF form into Livecycle all over again but this time as a Fixed Page Layout, where the document gets imported as artwork and cannot be edited. I then added functionality in Livecycle and resaved. 
    Message was edited by: LBarton

    Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this?  My LiveCycle form is a dynamic form.  It seems like livecycle Designer ES2 has corrupted it or designer ES2 has a bug that makes reader and acrobat print engine not recognize the pages.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • LiveCycle Designer 8.0 - Image Field Issue

    I am using LiveCycle Designer 8. Ive inserted an image field and when I test it, the image doesnt scale proportionally even though the properties are set up correctly (Scale image proportionally). I understand that in order to get this to work, the files needs to be saved as a dynamic PDF, but I don't have an option of saving as a dynamic PDF. The only "Save as" type options I have are Adobe 7 (Static) PDF Form and Adobe 8 (Static) PDF Form. I also don't have an option of saving as a "dynamic" PDF in the Acrobat Save As window.
    Is there a way to work around this or am I doing something wrong. The file was designed in InDesign, exported to a PDF and then brought into LiveCycle to insert text fields and an image field for a user to input their contact info and their logo. The 5 text fields work perfectly and the one image field works EXCEPT for scaling proportionally even though the properties for that field are set correctly.
    I appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

    Did you import the file using "Create an Interactive Form with Fixed Pages" as your selection on the Import dialog? If so, this brings in the original InDesign PDF as "artwork" (a background layer) on which your form fields are placed. This document can't be dynamic. That might be the issue.

  • Security issues with Livecycle Designer

    In the past, I have been able to modify and change documents inside of Adobe Acrobat after creating the forms inside of LD. I've recently run into a problem where the security settings in Adobe Acrobat continue to advise that it is unable to make changes to the document, which prevent me from inserting or deleting pages. I was able to save documents into a .PDF format from LD without any issues before a week or so ago. I've searched high and low for an answer, but cannot determine why it would have suddenly changed
    I'm using Livecycle Designer ES2. I've modified the program in several different ways, but none of them allow me to change the security settings to allow Acrobat to perform the functions that it used to.
    Printing the document from LD into a PDF is not an option, as I still need others to have the ability to modify/add answers inside of the created forms.
    Thank you in advance!

    If your form has been saved as dynamic PDF you have a XDP file in a PDF shell.
    This kind of PDF (XFA form) is totally different to regular static PDF.
    Acrobat simply does not allow to modify dynamic PDFs because it can't.

  • Display issue with LiveCycle Designer ES4 for cropped PDF in WIN7

    Hi,
    I am having issue displaying the cropped PDF file in the LiveCycle Designer ES4. The PDF files are cropped 3 inches from bottom using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. It used to display properly when we have a WinXP machine but once we moved to a Win7 machine, it cannot display the top part of the PDF anymore. Can anyone help on how to fix the display issue? Thanks.

  • "Submit" action not working in Livecycle Designer 8.0

    I have designed an Interactive form in WD ABAP. I have employee data fields to be filled in by the user. I have provided a Submit button on the form and defined an action for the Interactive form UI element OnSubmit event. But when the user clicks "Submit" on the form in Online interactive form, the method defined for the action is not getting triggerred. I am using Livecycle Designer 8.0. There are many categories of elements in this new version and the Submit button element is provided in more than one category. I tried all of them but none of them worked.
    Any inputs regarding this will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Sudhir,
    May be script is not generating.  Can you find the follwoing piece of code in your Submit button click event:
         ContainerFoundation_JS.SendMessageToContainer(event.target, "submit", "", "", "", "");
    Do one thing :
    open your form from Tcode: SFP in change mode.  And on top there is an option called Utilities.
    Under that select "Insert Webdynpro Script".  Activate your form.

  • LiveCycle designer 8.2 issues with Office 2010

    Good Day All;
    We are in the middle of upgrading from Windows XP / Office 2003 to Windows 7 (32bit) / Office 2010 and I was wondering if there are any issues with Livecycle designed and Office 2010.
    I have been that Adobe Acrobat 8.2 does not support Office 2010. I ran into that with trying to install PDF maker.
    Any comments will be helpful.
    Regards
    Chomp

    We recently upgraded to Win 7 and to Acrobat 9 (didn't upgrade Office so cannot comment on that). The only issue I have found (and I can only assume it was
    due to the OS upgrade or the Acrobat upgrade (or both)) is that I lost use of my Preview tab. In order to be able to preview a form now in LiveCycle, I must first open an instance of Acrobat, otherwise I don't even get a Preview tab. Also, the preview doesn't show up in the Preview tab...it actually opens in Acrobat.
    Weird, but I'm getting used to it.

  • LiveCycle Designer ES alignment issues...

    Hi,
    I have created few forms in Adobe Output Designer (IFD). I have converted those Adobe Output Designer (IFD) files to Adobe Livecycle ES (XDP). I have successful converted those IFD files to XDP, but I found some alignment problems in XDP files.
    It’s not matching 100% with the IFD files.
    Any suggestions are welcome.....
    Regards,
    Jayakumar Sriram

    Hi Carl,
    Thanks for your response.
    When we compare the printouts between Adobe output Designer(IFD) and Adobe livecycle designer ES (XDP), there seems to be difference appx 0.030 (X axis) and 0.064 (Y axis). But the position in output designer and livecycle designer are same for both. Every form we are adjusting the positions and compare the results between adobe output designer and LC designer.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Created form in Livecycle Designer 8, send to 2nd party to complete some fields, want to lock those fields so that when sent to 3rd party to complete cannot edit

    I am a newby to this product and have created a form from a PDF.  I used Adobe Livecycle Designer to place text fields in form.  I saved, then enabled user rights.  I sent to 2nd party to open in Adobe reader.  This person needs to populate some of the fields.  Once this is done the 2nd person is to email to 3rd person who will complete the outstanding fields and return the form to the second person.
    How do I stop the 3rd person from editing the text the second person put in the form?
    I want the second person to receive the complete form back not just the responses put in the text fields?  Does this happen automatically or do you have to tell it send complete form.
    Thanks from Sandra in Australia

    How do you save the file? Do you directly send it via mail with a button? (If the question is silly I'm sorry, because I have no lincenses... so I am completly unaware of the choices you have.)
    You need to be able to save a file Reader Extension licenses I think...
    Probably you should ask for the fake E-Mailbutton, to be able to send it to different people one after the other...
    Make an invisible Decimalfield.
    The preSave/preSubmit field javascript...:
    this.rawValue = this.rawValue + 1
    if (this.rawValue > 0)
    {Decimalfield1.access="readOnly";}
    if (this.rawValue > 1)
    {Decimalfield2.access = "readOnly"}
    will lock decimalfield1 after the first save/submit and decimalfield2 after the second. Normally that should do the job.
    PS: Another way to save the document and lock ALL fields, you don't have to buy additional licenses is print it as pdf.

  • LiveCycle Designer 8.0

    Hello, I have created a form by using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0. Now problem is, when I submit the form through the e-mail everything works fine. When I open the attached pdf file the one I have submitted it also includes all the buttons example: Submit, Print, Save As, Reset which belongs to my pdf form. I would like that it should not includes those buttons.
    Would you please help me how to solve that problem?
    Sincerely,
    Nurul

    Hi Nurul,
    1. Unlike the other forums out there (including other forums at Adobe), from my experience, on this forum no one will even bother telling you if this has been answered or not or possible or not.
    2. There is no one spot for where you can find Live Cycle help.
    3. I've seen forums with a sticky at the top saying where to begin for people like us. There are stickies at the top yes. But if you read them the "Experts" are wingeing at the newbies questions.
    Hopefully someone at Adobe is reading this because I am also a newbie looking for a simple solution and only needs to know if things are possible and then will study the program in detail if proper documentation exists.
    Can someone guide me to a basics forum or documentaion?
    In frustration
