User required fields without a submit button

Hi,
I was recently using Adobe Designer 7 and when I would make the field type User Enter - Required, it would not allow the user to go on to the next field.
I have just updated to Designer 8 and it does not allow the same function. When I assign the type to User Enter - Required and fill in the Empty Message box, nothing happens at run time. Is this because I don't have a submit button on the form?
The user will fill in the form and save it under a new name and submit it through our internal email delivery system, so I can't have a submit by email button. Is there any way around this? I'm not very familiar with Java Scripting, but I will do anything, as I need these fields to be filled in.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

You'll have better luck posting this in the LiveCycle Designer forum. Output Designer is a totally different product.
That said, I'm surprised that LC Designer 7 prevented the user from exiting a mandatory field. That's user abuse in my opinion. If there's no submit button, the mandatory checking can be done in a script with subFormName.execValidate() where "subFormName" is the subform that contains the objects that you want to validate. The function will return false if there are empty required fields.
Hope this helps.

Possible to send POST data WITHOUT a submit button?

Is it possible to send POST data without a submit button, but
instead, using PHP redirect or PHP header?
I need to process a form's POST values before sending some
selected values to a third party web
site. So I'd like to be able to send processed POST values to
that site, without asking the user to
click on a submit button again.
how?...

You can't send client-side data with server-side scripting, I
think. You
can do it with javascript, but then your form is dependent on
js being
enabled....

Can a today's date be added in a date field when the submit button is pressed?

I created a form with a submit button and the form is sent via email. Can the date when the form is submitted show up in a date field with the button is pressed?
Any help with this is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
there is a preSubmit event for form objects you can use.
Select your date field, open the script editor and add this script (language is FormCalc) into the preSubmit event.
$ = num2date(date(), "MM/DD/YYYY")

How to add to and cc fields via email submit button

I have created a form which requires pdf format. I need the form to submit via email with the option to change/select the to: and also add a cc: field with selection as well. Please provide any information available as I am new to livecycle and am not very familiar with script or code.
Thanks!

The name if you don't understand is only a name for the variable and is an combination from english and german.
Subject is the english word for Betreff
Message is the english word for Nachricht.
You could use this:
//fill in e-mail
var Mailto = Formular1.s1.email.rawValue;
//var Mailto = "[email protected]";
//fill in subject
var SubjectEmail = Formular1.s1.betreff.rawValue;
//var SubjectEmail = "Test-Subject";
//fill in message
var MessageEmail = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: "
+ Formular1.s1.name.rawValue + "\rDate: " + Formular1.s1.dateEmail.formattedValue;
//var MessageEmail = "This is a test message.\r2.row start here.\r3.row here.";
//fill in e-mail cc
var CC = Formular1.s1.emailcc.rawValue;
//var CC = "[email protected]";
//fill in e-mail bcc
var BCC = Formular1.s1.emailbcc.rawValue;
//var BCC = "[email protected]";
var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + SubjectEmail + "&Body=" + MessageEmail + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc=" + BCC;
//cSubmitAs: "PDF" send the pdf as attachment
//cSubmitAs: "XML" send the pdf as xml-attachment
event.target.submitForm({
cURL: Mail,
bEmpty: true,
cSubmitAs: "XML"
I come from Germany and this is my script (therefore in german) I have try to change the german words in english words...

Created a form in Forms Central. Exported the PDF with Submit Button Option. When the PDF is filled out and submit clicked, it comes back asking for required fields to be filled but they already are. Any Help?

Hi;
OK - I can clarify some things and tell you how to do what your looking for.
The desktop FormsCentral application tools are really designed towards create forms that do collect data on FormsCentral servers. You can still easily create PDFs that do not submit data to FormsCentral, but you'll have to add any alternative submit functionality using the Forms tools in Acrobat. You can create a PDF without the submit button in either case, signed in/out of the Desktop Application from the "File" - "Save as PDF Form" menu item. You can then modify the PDF in Acrobat XI Pro by doing a "Save A Copy", when you open the copy you can edit it any way you like, adding a "Submit" button that email's the PDF/Responses back to you...
Here's how: In Acrobat open the PDF you saved from the FormsCentral Desktop application and go to "File" - "Save a Copy" and choose a location, this will remove the security. Open up the copy you just created and you can now edit it, here is a YouTube video tutorial using Acrobat XI, he covers the email button in about two minutes, there are lots of tutorials out there but this one is easy to follow:,

Signature field and submit button not working

I recently upgraded to LiveCycle Designer ES2 and am having problems with some functionality. I created a form with 3 signature fields and a submit button for the final signator to email the form back. None of the signature fields work; neither does the submit button. I did everything the same as I had in the previous version of the software. However, it appears that there have been some changes that I'm unaware of. I read about locking objects, but got a little confused. Can someone tell me (in very lay terms) what I need to do to get these functions to work?

George,
Then, I guess I don’t know what I’m looking at. When I look at the document properties, it shows that rights have been granted. See the screen shot below.
Would you tell me how I should enable Reader?

How can I create a submit button that only saves?

Our end users will save the completed form and later upload it to anotherg place. I created a save button that works fine, but without a Submit button there is nothing to trigger the reminder to go back and answer required questions. I don't want to lose that part. Thanks in advance for any help you can offfer!

Would something like this work for you?
var OKToSave = true;
if (tfSomething.isNull) {
tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,0,0";
OKToSave = false;
else tfSomething.border.edge.color.value = "255,255,255";
if (!OKToSave) app.alert("Please fill in all required fields");
else app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");

Submit Button Acrobat 9 Pro & Select Email Client Screen

I'm new to Acrobat and creating forms and need help. I've created a few forms for work using 8 Pro, which have been successful. I decided to purchase 9 Pro for home and use for our school's PTU membership drive.
I created a form using a Word doc and the Acrobat Form Wizard. It worked, I adjusted my fields, added a Submit button with mailto:[email protected] as the URL and want to distribute the form as "save and distribute later." This works. When I bring up the form for a test run, and submit to myself I get a pop up asking to Select Email Client - do I use Outlook (a few others are also listed) or Yahoo or Hotmail as my email servers. If I click Outlook, everything is fine, the document gets forwarded to me with no problem (because I use Outlook). My concern is for members who don't use Outlook (or the others). They have to go through more steps by saving the doc to their hard drive and emailing it to me as an attachment. I would really like to avoid extra steps for them.
It there a something I'm missing in setting up my Submit button so it automatically gets emailed to me irregardless as to what they are using for email server?
I have searched for 2 hours and have come up with nothing that I understand. If you respond, please remember to be clear as I'm not a techno person.
Thanks for ANY and ALL help you can provide.

You are running into some of the classic problems/concerns for new users with forms. I will try to summarize the issues related to your work:
1. You can create forms directly in Acrobat under the TOOLS menu using the form tools found there, or by selecting the options in the FORMS menu that generally take you to LiveCycle Designer. Questions on the forms should be put to the appropriate forum of these two, since the processing and menus are different.
2. Having the forms be allowed to be saved (necessary for submitting the full form and not just the data that can be imported to the form) requires Reader Rights to be activated for clients using Reader. This activation limits the form use to 500 uses (check section 15 of the EULA for more details) that could be a problem for you, depending on the school size. If you have the form data submitted and do not activate the Rights, then there is not a limitation. Simply import the XML or FDF file into the form when you get it.
3. The e-mail submission you have concerns about is valid. If you do not mind getting questions that it would not work on their machine, then fine. The e-mail submission will not work on all machines (PC , MAC, or UNIX). It depends on the client setup (you have no control), historically requiring MAPI to be active (typical of Outlook, but not other packages). In AA9/AR9 there appear to have been some extensions to this, but a lot of folks use version 9. In fact I have a different version that has come on every machine I have and do not have AA9 yet (AA4-AA8), with even older versions lying around some place. A few weeks ago someone checked in who was using AA4. Since I mentioned this problem, the solutions are:
a. live with it and ask folks who can not submit to copy the info into the body of an e-mail or such.
b. find someone who can add the proper scripts to a web server to receive the data. The school IT folks (if any) might be able to help there.
c. submit the data in HTML form through a cgi-mail or formmail server that is available on many ISP servers (you may have to ask). These servers require some hidden fields telling the server where to send the submitted form data.
Hope that helps. Bill

Email submit button concatenate subject and body

Hello Expert,
I'm trying to modify what the body of the email will look like once the user has pressed an email submit button. In Livecycle designer, I clicked on the button and viewed java script code
this.resolveNode("#event.#submit").target = "mailto:"+$record.XXXXXX.MAIL_ID.value+"?subject ="+" Subject line "+"&body="+"Body of the mail";
Whenever i click the button its conacatenate the subject line with -- " Subject line &body body of the mail ".
My requirement is to change the body of the mail. Can anyone help me on this issue.

Hi Abdul,
Try this. Create a regular button and in the click event put this script.
var mail;
var add = mailAddress.rawValue; // the to mail address you want.
var msg = "Sample message"; // This is the body of the mail Customize it as per need by fetching value from different fields
var sub = "Sample Subject"; // This is the subject of the mail.
event.target.mailDoc({
          bUI: true,
          cTo: add,
          cCc: '',
          cBcc: '',
          cSubject: sub,
          cMsg: msg
Thanks,

(php) Delete being performed on page load instead of on submit-button click

I'm building a Delete Record page in PHP using Dreamweaver's server behaviors, following the instructions in the DW Help.
It's working - except the delete seems to be happening upon delete-carpet.php being loading, without the Submit button on that page being clicked.
I have a page (choose.php) which allows the user to locate the record he wants to delete. Clicking on that link is supposed to take him to the Delete page (delete-carpet.php), which I built following the directions in the DW Help.
I can see that the URL parameter is being passed, and in fact, the delete is successful. BUT, the Delete page itself, with the hidden form field and server behavior, doesn't even appear - only the "success" page that it re-directs to.
In other words, when I click the "Delete" link, which looks like this:
<a href="delete-carpet.php?carpet_id=<?php echo $row_GetCarpets['carpet_id']; ?>
I thought that I should be getting a URL like this:
delete-carpet.php?carpet_id=9
But instead, I get this:
success.php?carpet_id=9
It seems to be just performing the delete without needing the user to click the Submit button.
I've read through the directions and re-created this so many times that either I'm still missing something, or else the instructions are missing something. Any help is much appreciated.

In other words, when I click the "Delete" link, which looks like this:
<a href="delete-carpet.php?carpet_id=<?php echo $row_GetCarpets['carpet_id']; ?>
I think your delete link was okay, maybe there might be some mistakes on delete-carpet.php page. Okay, on that page, choose delete record (Insert > Data Objects > Delete record) and popup window will appear and choose data as below.
First check if variable is defined: Primary key value
Connection: your database
Table: the carpet table
Primary key column: carpet_id
Primary key value: URL parameter > carpet_id
After deleting go to: this one u can choose same page(choose.php) or other page except the delete-carpet.php

Problems with "Submit" button on simple PDF form.

Hi there!
I have searched, but perhaps not searching forums correctly to find my answer as this seems like it should be easy to fix (she said hopefully).
I have created a simple, offline PDF form for an event registration.
I have fields all done, set it up to email back a simple FDF from the client with a Combo Box "Submit" button.
When the client fills in the fields and hits "Submit" button, she gets:
"The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder."
I created this in Adobe Acrobat 9.
Client is filling in using Windows XP.
I have extended release, no security, etc.
Is there something simple I am missing?
Have been able to get this to work before.
But now, not so much!
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

That's not normal. Do you know what version of Acrobat/Reader the other person is using? Can you post the form somewhere? If not, I'd be happy to take a look at it if you are free to email it to me at: acroscript at gmail dot com

RESOLVED - iExpense: Disable Submit Button based on checkbox not working

Hi,
We have a requirement for a checkbox in iExpense Review form(FinalReviewPG) where there should be a checkbox stating the terms and policies are met etc. Unless the user checks the checkbox the SUBMIT button shouldnt be enabled. I am creating the custom checkbox using personalisation in the page with initial/unchecked value as N and checked value as Y. This is created at SITE level.
Now I have also created a custom controller extension xxButtonCO to extend the standard ButtonsCO controller which should do the disable/enable of the button OIESubmit. I ported this controller to the custom top and have extended the controller to both OIE Expenses Entry Flow function and Internet Expenses responsibility. But the checkbox though visible is not affecting the SUBMIT button. Also funnily, I save the controller class as xx.oracle.apps.ap.oie.webui.xxlcButtonCO and click apply only to see this concatenated to apps.ap.oie.webui.xxlcButtonCO / Function.
Is that causing an issue? Also, sometimes I just run into an arbitrary NULL pointer exception and other times it says oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: Could not create Java class. I have verified the class file not java file is in correct directory and has right permissions.
What could possibly be wrong here?

Hi Kali,
Many thanks for your response. I have quit trying to run this page directly from the instance and am now trying to do this firsly from the JDeveloper. The same issue is occuring from that end as well. My checkbox value is not getting recognised in the code. The checkbox is added to the Business Expenses tab and the intial/unchecked value is N while the checked value is Y. I am trying to control the submit button in the buttonbar based on the checkbox value using the following command
OAMessageCheckBoxBean cbbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("XXReviewCheck");
where XXReviewCheck is the checkbox ID. However the print statements show that the cbbean is null. It is definitely calling the controller and trying to figure out the value. The value is just not coming to this section. Any ideas?
