PDF form - Email = field

I have created a PDF form on our intranet to be completed and submitted by e-mail with a "submit" button. Everything works well, but the recipients would like the subject line of the e-mail for info from the first field of the form so that it is easily searchable. I use Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0 (also have Acrobat 8 Professional) but have not found anywhere to change this info.  I read the thread referencing possible solutions using javascript, but I don't know where to start where javascript is concerned (not my forte).
At the moment the form is sent by Email through 'Button' control type: present. "Submit tab I put the submit URL field for - mailto:"emailaddress.

In addition, the recipients mentioned that they cannot see the PDF in the body of their email, instead its only an attachment. We all use Outlook and Outlook Webmail and would like to see the PDF in the body.  Is there an easy way to do this as well?
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You have the nec FormCalc script but this script is Javascript. In the script editor change the drop down language menu (right side) to Javascript.

    Hello

    I created a PDF form with fields and combo boxes.

    some of them must be completed before submitting the form.

    but this only works with the textfields and not with the drop-down list boxes.

    These are not marked with the red rectangle as text fields.

    He will work with drop-down list boxes, but only if you configure them to allow the user to enter a text custom field and they choose to delete it. If an item is selected, even if it's just a single space, then the field is considered filled. So the question is, what is the value of these combo boxes that seem to be a Virgin?

  • Pdf form by e-mail to the value of the field and your real email address

    I have a few questions, I am trying to solve and do not know how to proceed. I need the button submit to retrieve a value for a field that the user has filled in and I need to provide an email address.

    I need to provide the text of the subject line of the message and add a value in a field that the user fills out.

    I had these two elements to work based on scripts, I got on the Forum.

    But I also need half superior (or the first page) of the form to send in a pdf file and the second half (or second page) to be an interactive form and a submit button that works similarly to the first Submit button.

    How can I accomplish this? Apparently, I'm still not able to attach a copy of the form.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I would recommend a sample of Paul Guerette 'LockAllFields '. You can use this to lock all fields on page 1, before that the PDF file is saved and sent by e-mail. This will leave the objects on page 2 that interactive / "fillable inable".

    I think Paul sample going on 'form1' in the function. You need to change 'page 1' so that it blocks only the objects on this page.

    You won't be able to the PDF form is separated in two.

    Good luck

  • PDF form coming in the e-mail, but no form fields are filled

    I want to open a full PDF file and not an XML file which is sent when someone fills out a form online.  So, I made a document in Word, saved as a PDF, and then imported into LiveCycle Designer 8.0.  From there on, I created the fields in the form, add a button for the email out because the stock e-mail button does not work properly from what I've read (change the command send, add the e-mail address and change submitted as a PDF file) and save the document.  I then have an open document in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro.  Go to advanced and choose enable usage rights in Adobe Reader.  Then save this file under a new name.  Then I can the PDF by e-mail to someone or put it on my site.

    Here's the problem:

    When someone fills out the form, it will automatically send automatically to the correct mailbox (good).  The PDF file opens and the PDF form looks like that I designed this (good).  But all form fields that have been filled... nothing appears. all I see is my PDF (bad) form.  I tried at least a dozen ways over the past two days to create the PDF... but when the received PDF file is opened later, none of the form fields are visible with what someone types in.

    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?  I'm not good at Adobe, but I'm learning.  I can understand most of the things, but this problem is driving me crazy.

    Thank you!

    Thr default iOS or iAnything PDF Viewer does not support on a PDF form fields.

    Without knowledge of the programs and specific systems, it is difficult to answer.

    Overview programme Apple on Macintosh systems is known to have problems with the form, and it corrupts form fields insofar as they do not display the data unless the user is in the field. It is also know to make simple PDFs unreadable.

    There could also be problems with various mail programs because PDF forms contain binary data and not simple text.

  • Muse broken update - no emailing not site pdf forms

    I recently discovered that muse will send not send forms pdf from the website. Is this a bug? I couldn't run the preview or browser. I even downloaded a test and of course, it is not send the form. The form sends end of acrobat, so I know the mailto: parameters are correct.

    I checked the acrobat settings and tried some workaround solutions. re-tested and no luck.

    As a last test, I've updated an existing Web forms currently work correctly.  When I updated the site and preview in browser mode, the forms may not be emailed more. It's as if the post URL link does not work because nothing has changed on the website up to date - it was purely a test to confirm the problem.

    Help, please!

    If anyone else has this problem, please post here.

    As soon as the browser detects the file format slightly more exotic (such as a MP4, DOC, PDF, XLS, etc), he tries to see how it should be managed. This has absolutely nothing to do more with the application that has built the Web page and created the download link to that file. And it is for the user to keep a defect affecting in their browser, to twist the so-called 'MIME types' and direct the file to an application or maybe let a plugin handle.

    So, that explains the differences - a lot - the operation of the receiver with the PDF.

    You can't help that, Adobe cannot stop that, only the browser developers could set a default.

    But there is another anomaly...

    If a receipt PDF form can be completed and sent to an e-mail address, depends on the level of interactive features offered by the viewing application (the web browser, plugin, an application non -Adobe as a Preview, this true Adobe Reader or Acrobat, etc.) more permission to send emails to OS! If the device needs a work email account to send emails. The web browser is not allowed to do that on its own, otherwise spammers would have a day on the field with him!

    So, there are 3 obstacles to attack (or hope):

    1. the way the PDF is managed after download.

    2. the software which allows to access the parts of the form;

    3. the allocation of the system to send an email.

    I read somewhere in this discussion, you have created an "extended Reader" PDF, but it is not the correct definition of think he's the "Reader" all the features incorporated. This "expanded" feature allows users with just the drive, for the rights to actually Save the PDF on their desktop (although their version of reader normally would not allow to save a PDF file).

    I hope this helps to clear up any misunderstandings.

    The fact that it stopped working just after the update of Muse,

    must have been a coincidence.

    He had to change to test it as well.

  • PDF forms: extraction of data fields using javascript

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me...

    I have created a PDF form which, once the user fills out the fields, he or she will click on a button to send the form by e-mail to their Manager. Once the registration form is authorized by the Director, the Manager will be click on another button, which will forward the form to the original user. The user would have filled their email address in one of the fields in the form. Is it possible to extract data from the field e-mail address using javascript?

    Thank you very much!

    You would have to do something like this:

    // Get the email addresses
    var email1 = getField("email1").valueAsString;
    var email2 = getField("email2").valueAsString;
    
    // Send the email
    try {
        mailDoc({
            bUI: false,
            cTo: email_addr1 + ";" + email_addr2,
            cSubject: "The subject of the mail",
            cMsg: "The message body of the email"
        });
    } catch(e) {
        app.alert("Could not send email, sorry.", 1);
    }
    

    Note that the e-mail addresses must be separated by a semicolon, as shown. Also, affecting false bUI will only work if the code is run form a privileged context, as in a JavaScript file to the folder level.

    If you want to hard-code one of the e-mail addresses, it would look like:

            cTo: email_addr1 + ";[email protected]",
    
  • PDF form with several auto pages copy text in fields on the following pages

    I created a PDF form with multiple pages. I started with an Illustrator file, then exported to Acrobat to make it complete. For some reason any, however, when users enter text on the first page and try to continue on the other, the text on the first page only auto copies on the following pages. And if you delete what was on the second page (or third) to enter the correct data, which provides information on the first page.

    I guess it must be something that twisted when I was creating the form, so I don't know if there is a way to fix without all over again.

    Thank you!

    Give a unique name to each field. The fields with the same name are copies of each other and will automatically have the same value.

    and 'not required' if the drop down menu selected as 'No' or left blank.

    Use this code in the custom drop-down list field validation script:
