Our second dilemma is to create an expand and collapse option using 4 questions, is this possible in the program we had mentioned above? Can you please post your question in the Acrobat forum so our experts can help you interactively:.
I tried to be clever and bold the text in a var — cBText. You could create your own submit button with instructions and use some JavaScript. The form was created in Acrobat and I am distributing it via email saving the file and sending as an attachment in email.
What version of Acrobat are you using the send out your form? Also, how exactly are you distributing the form email, internal server?
Is this a form created in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer? I have created a form and distributed by email and have a few questions regarding the options for responses being returned. Can I default that option for everyone to select our internal mail server? There is a default message in the email that is generated for my respondents to send. Can this be removed or changed? Double-click the attachment. Acrobat will prompt you to select a response file. Can you post your question here and be sure to select the JavaScript category so some our other experts can assist you?
Thank you for the amazing references and examples! Concerning sending an e-mail response to multiple individuals. If you wanted to have a PDF document with a series of check boxes that in turn control whom gets sent the pdf via e-mail, how much modification to the code examples above would be needed?
Barry Kaufman, Unless the a form submit is done somewhere, the code alwasys has to do the required field validation. Thanks for the script Thom. It works perfectly, however, in the current version of Acrobat Pro Any ideas or will I have to write code to validate all my fields first? Ina, Please post this question to the forums and be more specific about the script you are using, there are several techniques described in the article.
Any insight would be appreciated. So, you can change it there. Thanks for the tutorial! Everything works great. I have a question. Pretty much I would need the to address to be the ClientEmail field. Jason, If you already have the code for validating required fields, then you are most of the way there. Just in general, at the end of the validation code there must be some operation that occurs when the validation fails?
An alert messges? You want to add the email code from this article near this operation, but so that the email code is activated when the validation passes. However, you have another solution at hand.
I have a script that checks to see if every required field is filled out before it can be submitted via a button. It works perfectly, but now I need to insert code that will mail the form as a PDF if the validation is successful. Can you post your question here and be sure to select the JavaScript category so all our JS Experts can assist you?
It works properly, but I need the PDF arrivals with interactive fields blocked from change by those who receive it attached to the email. Let me explain, I need the form to send offers via e-mail to customers, but when I send the customer who receives the email should not change it.
If you know the email address are correct, then what you can do is to select the option to Save a local copy and manually send it later when you run the Distribute command. Then all you need to do is open your email program and attach the form is a message. You guys have to be kidding. Only an expert will have any idea what you are talking about. All I want to do is distribute a form. So I got here. I am not a programer. All I need is for the program to execute.
Question: The form I have created has required fields. The required fields differ depending on who is submitting the form form has multiple submit buttons. With some reading, your code examples in this tutorial, and a little trial and error I successfully completed what I was trying to accomplish.
The code that I ended up with is as follows generalized for security reasons of course When prompted, navigate to and select Blank Permit Form. Hello Joe, There are many different things that could go wrong with the script. Great tutorial, however, I am an extreme novice to javascript.
That being said I have an application form created in Pro XI and currently receive permit applications via a submit by email button. I used the standard submit form option to have the form data attached to an email as a. The only thing I am looking to accomplish with script is to have the subject line populated from 2 of the form fields, and have the body of the email populated from a couple other fields. I still want the form data file attached to the email as is currently done.
I tried inserting the code listed in the tutorial and edited to match my form fields and send to email address, but nothing happens, not even an error window. Probably in way over my head, but any assistance someone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I am using LiveCycle and this script works as long as I have something in this field xfa.
Value; if cBenAddr! I currently have this script if form1. I need to have the form sent to another email as well but only when a certain filed is filled out. Can someone help. I created a submit button with the example above because I needed the CC to be populated by a field in my form.
Is it possible to script this button to check the user required fields like a regular submit button would? This would require a special script to be installed on the local machine of each user of the file. Thanks for the code. I do have the same issue similar to an earlier question by Sandeep. Thanks in advance. Hi Rej, Are you sure all the submit buttons worked before you saved it to a different name?
I looked at the download and found a problem with one of the scripts. The corrected form is available for download here? I have other files that works fine. Essentially this file stops working as soon as I save it from LiveCycle to another file.
I have used this code to submit forms and it works great to a point. It places my pdf in outlook with the body and recipients stated but the user of the form have to hit the send button. If the user chooses not to hit the send I do not get the form to review. Is there a way to automatically hit that send button. Or if not could the file automatically be saved to a specific place without the user doing that final step.
I was able to use it to edit the subject line and use some of the fields in the form in my email message. But when the form is attached to email, it attaches itself as an fdf file and not as a pdf.
How do I fix that? Any suggestions? Jeroen, Sorry I missed this comment. You need to do some debug. Place console. In fact, you should try running the script in the console window. I copied the script, changed it a bit fieldnames and mailDoc but it refuses to work. No error, no mail, no nothing… What do I do wrong? Do I have to use doc. In fact this is a very exciting new feature. Then you have to log in and press send. But regardless, this feature is going to be massively helpful.
Please read this article. It will explain why you are getting the error. But take heart. Meaning that your users that have Reader XI, when it comes out, will be able to submit through an online email account. Unfortunately it keeps saying there is no default mail client and to use outlook? Is there a way to bypass this to simply email the form? Try Acrobat DC. Learn how to edit PDF. Get started.
