Submit PDF

Question

Hi,
I have two problems with my form.
(For information, I use workbench ES)
My first problem is :
I want to send the PDF instead of XML. To do that I drop a button on my form and on the click event I write the follow script :
var mail;
var address="[email protected]";
var sub="answer";
mail="mailto: "+ address + "?subject=" + sub;
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: mail,
bEmpty: true,
CSubmitAs: "PDF",
cCharset:"utf-8"
The problem is the attached file in the email is at format "fdf" and no pdf.
My second problem :
To resolve my first problem, I use a submit button and I change in this properties the submit format with PDF. This method well work. But how validate my form with a submit button ? because the click event is not allowed.
In fact I want to validate my form with a script and if the script return true I want to send the form in PDF. With a regular button it's ok because I can choose click event but with a submit button I can't choose this event.
Thanks for any help.
Best regards.

Answer 1

To get around your submit problem you can add a normal button on your form. Then on the click event of the normal button execute all your scripts and the last thing would be to force the click event of the submit button (to submit the form). The following script would do that:
//From the click event of the normal button
mySubmitButton.execEvent("click");
The last thing would be to hide the submit button so people don't get confused with the two buttons.
I hope this will solve your problem.
