I created a form using Live Cycle and included both a print button and an email button. Is there a way to populate the fields back into the form after the form has been filled out and emailed back? If so, how can I go about extracting the information from the email into the form, so I can print it out and file it for my records?
Did you ever figure this out? I am new to this software. I was able to create the form, filled one out as a test and selected the email button. But when it was received, I could not open the file.
to email a pdf version do not use the email button
use a normal button
for button control type select submit(control types are on the object/field page of the properties for the button )
when you select the submit control type you will get a new tab in the properites... called "submit"
click on this tab.. in the "submit to URL" box type the email addres preceeded by mailto: (example
mailto:me@my.com
in the submit as drop down list select pdf. when you click the button the pdf copy of the form is created and attached to the generated email , ........
