Submit Email Button needs Email Address

I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer ES@ v9.0.0.2.2.......... on Windows 7 64 bit OS.
I have created a Form and added an Email Submit Button from the Object Library. This added Button is showing a Warning Message that says I must specify an Email Address. The Help states to RClick on the Button and select Pallettes>Object, then proceed to fill in the Email Address Box, etc.
My problem is: When I Rclick on the Button, the Pop Up Menu has nothing about Pallettes>Object or Email Address Box. The Pop Up Menu only contains: Cut, Copy, Paste - Grayed Out - and - Font, Paragraph, Leader and Select All.
In the Object Library there does not appear to be an Email Address Box that I can add and show my Email Address.
Is this a Program Issue or is it something I have not done or not done correctly ??????????????
Can anyone help me on this, Thank You.
Otherwise it did a good job of the rest of the Form.

Seems odd it there aint a email field in the Object menu.
Im still on 8.2 so havent checked out the latest version. Aint it there if you go Window -> Object, or just hit SHIFT + F7?
Is the full object menu visible so a part of it aint hidden below the screen?
Hope it works out.

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 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.

Email address in submit to button

I'm asking a very direct and plain question and desire a direct and plain answer. Don't tell me to just use the 'Button Tool', because it is nowhere to be found.
1. I created an adobe fillable form from scratch using AA9 Pro/LiveCycle.
2. I will distribute that form and choose the manually send copy and use my inbox to receive responses.
3. Adobe then creates a distributed form
4. That distributed form contains a "Submit Form" that is adjacent and to the right of the"Highlight Fields" button above the actual form and I NEVER created that button.
5. When that button is clicked it open a dialog and contains a To: , Subject:, and Attachment: at the top of the dialog that is UNEDITABLE.
6. The email address in the To: is incorrect.
7. I need to change it so that whenever I distribute the form in the present and in the future the correct email address to send it back to me is correct
8. What do I need to do to ensure the correct email (my work address) is in the "Submit Form" button?
9. Be direct, succint, and concise.
10. Thank You

Just edit the button using the button tool. You have to do this in the tool you used (Acrobat or Designer). You can not edit a Designer form with Acrobat. Be aware that some folks may have problems with e-mail submission due to their e-mail client setup. If so, you will have to deal with that. If it is a small group of folks who know each other, you can probably deal with it.

Emailing a PDF form w/o an email address submit button

I have created a form; but my company does not want it to go to specific email address. So I took out the submit button. What they want is for people to be able to fill in the PDF form and send it to whomever they choose via email. BUT in reader, they cannot save the PDF. What do I need to do to get this to work correctly?
Thanks!
Diana

I had the same request.
All i did was leave the email address blank. On the "Design View", it will show an error but the employee will not see this. They can then just enter an email address.

Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address?

I've created a pdf form using Adobe Live Cycle ES 8.2 and it has been working fine. Now I need to change the email address it gets sent to when the user clicks on the "Submit Form" button.
How can I change this email address?
Thank you in advance

Yes, that is correct.
I did not manually add this button, so I am assuming it was somehow automatically created.
It worked great up until now that I need to change the "To:" email address.
I've look through the XML code associated this this email address and changed it every where I could find it, but it still hasn't changed my results. So, I have no idea how to change this and as stated above, if I create a new form it automatically sets it up to be sent to the wrong email address. Not sure why or how to change it?
Let me know if you need further info to help me out.
Thanks again

Submit Button sent to two email address

I have a form with a submit button that sends the content to
an email address via "cc". I need the "to" to send to an email
address that the user provides when filling out the form. How do I
get the information the user filled out in a field to regenerate
itself in the "to" line of the submit button email? The code is
below, with the "?????" representing the text I'm missing to
represent the email address the user entered in a form field called
"NomineeEmail" .
<input type="hidden" name="mreturn" value="
http://intranet/index/">
<input type="hidden" name="mfrom"
value="[email protected]">

<input type="hidden" name="mtype" value="html">
<input type="hidden" name="mto" value="??????">
<input type="hidden" name="mcc"
value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="mreturnmsg"
value="<center>Thank you for your
submission.</center>">

> What scripting is the form data being submitted to?

2. Can I have multiple recipients?
Answer:
Yes, all you have to do is put multiple e-mail addresses in
the recipient
field of your form, separated by commas.
<input type=hidden name="recipient"
value="[email protected],[email protected]">
The email addresses must be in domains listed in the allowed
recipient
section.

How do I create a submit button for my form? I would like it to send the completed PDF to an email address

Hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to Adobe XI and I can't find a "submit by email" button for my form. I created a button and tried to set up some actions but, I can only get the button to direct the user to a URL. How do I make it send the completed PDF to our designated company email address? I'm not too familiar with JAVASCRIPTS so I haven't tried that plus I heard it may not work with users with adobe reader.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for the input. I think you might have a different version of LiveCycle than the copy I have since it looks a little different. However, I found the answer in Adobe help. I had to type "mailto:" before the email address to indicate it's an email and not a URL. See below.
To collect form data as attachments to email, type mailto: followed by the email address. For example, mailto:[email protected]

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.

Adobe 9 Forms Wizard automatic Submit Button - Change Email Address

Hi,
I was wondering if someone would be able to assist me with an issue I have.
I am quite a new user with Adobe 9 Standard and have created an editable form using the Adobe 9 Form Wizard. The form creates fine but when I create it for distribution it creates a submit button in the top right of the form that can be seen by users who would fill out the form and it puts an email address, subject and attachement details into the button but when I go to edit the form in Adobe 9 I am unable to see this button or edit the details as I wish to change the email address.
When I first installed Adobe 9 and created an editable form I guess I was prompted for details for this but can not find where I can change these details.
From investigating this further by opening the form in Adobe 8 then saving a copy and then opening it again in Adobe 9 I can see the button and that the button executes a Java Script, as a work around I tried to edit the Java Script but this does not appear to work.
Ideally I would not like to use the work around to change it in the Java Script but would like to know what to change to make this work (just for future reference) I would like to find out how to get Adobe to prompt me for the email details again?
Your assistance is appreciated.
With Kindest Regards
Laig007

I had the same problem with the email address. Took forever to figure out, but fortunately the answer is simple. On the Acrobat menu, go to Edit > Preferences, thenin the Categories section click on "Identity". Whatever name and email address you put there will stay with the document.

Is it possible to create a cc'd email address from a text field that connects to a submit button?

I was told I should submit this question to the scripting forum... I am wondering if this is at all possible in Acrobat, because so far I have not been able to do it, but a client would like us to:
I have a "Submit Request" button that includes the email addresses of desired recipients of a PDF form. But the client also wants the person who is filling out the form to be cc'd in the email that is sent to other recipients. So in the field where the person enters their email address on the form, is it possible to somehow have that email address show up in the cc'd section of the email that is sent when the person hits the "Submit Request" at the bottom of the form?
As far as I can see, the only way to get the form emailed to anyone is to list pre-chosen email addresses in the actions section of the submit button. This is why I haven't been able to figure out how to get a randomly entered email address in a text field to also be cc'd.
Hope this makes sense and any help is much appreciated.
Thank you!

Nevermind, I just did a little research and found the answer:
in Acrobat Pro v9 go to the menu and select Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader...
In Acrobat Standard v9 go to the menu and select Advanced > Extend Forms Fill-in & Save in Adobe Reader...
You can now save the form with your data.
Thanks again for your help with the script, our form is now working exactly the way we wanted it to!

How do I set the Submit button to send the information directly to a specific email address?

How do I set the Submit button to send the information directly to a specific outside email address? It isn't clear to me where or how it says that you can do this.

Is this for a web form or a PDF? If PDF, you would have to use Acrobat to edit the form and replace the submit button action with either a "Submit a form" action using a mailto type URL, or use the doc.submitForm statement to do the same.

Create Email/Submit button that asks the user what email address to submit to

Is it possible to have an Email/Submit button that will ask for the users to imput the email address in which to submit to?

My own opinion is that you are going to tick off more people than you realize. I think you can handle this in one of a few better ways:
1) Institute an interface/web service where the HR system can send you people that are terminated. If the person has sensitive company data or anything on your site it would be in their best interest to remove their access.
2) Force password resets every x days. To reset a password, your page can send the link to their email. That way they have to establish they still work there to reset it.
3) Along the lines of #2, just make them verify their account every x days. If they don't do it within a week timespan, lock their account until they can prove they work there.
I mean unless you're dealing with top secret information, if someone gets a few extra days of your service its not a big deal. You have to balance the user experience with the reality that someone may get your service for free for a bit.
I can still get into My Oracle Support with my old email address. I obviously would not dare to put in a ticket, but I can view bug notes, knowledge base..etc. So it happens.

New to Adobe Forms and need help with Submit Email button

I am new to Adobe Forms in Windows. I created a form with a submit email button. When users try to click the button, the message is operation cannot be completed. My test user has Adobe Reader 9 installed. I'm at a loss as to how to resolve the issue. Please assist. TIA!

Three different aspects
1. Set the form up to submit the data (XML or FDF), not the full PDF. You can import the data to the PDF on your end.
2. You can turn on Extended Reader Rights, but then limit the use/users to 500 by the EULA. The applicability of this option depends on your intended application. In a small office, it would be fine. For general web use you would likely exceed the limit and be in violation of the EULA.
3. There may be an e-mail problem, one reason that e-mail is not recommended for form submission (even if the manual discusses it). Again, in a controlled environment like an office it will probably work fine, but in a web setup it is best to use a web script. There are 2 problems with e-mail that both depend on the client system (YOU have no control, but will be blamed in any case). First, the client machine has to be set up as an active MAPI client. Many folks do not have this on. Second, some e-mail clients treat PDFs like text and the result is a corrupt e-mail submission, even if it makes to you.
If you have the possibility of web submission, do it. I suggest only having the form data submitted and not the form.
