Emailed PDF is Blank

[#1]

Hello,



I was wondering if someone could help me with a really weird problem.



I have a form I created that hides and shows a lot of different fields it also has some add and remove buttons. This all works great until the user hits the send email.



When the email is sent the PDF file that has been sent is comming in blank as if the user has done nothing? The Print button works fine. The on screen display works fine.



I am using the send as PDF and a mailto:email@address.com



Any Suggestions?



Thanks, Leo

Is your PDF a Form allowing for entering data. If so, in order to send the PDF via email, it must be reader extended in order to preserve the data. By default, PDF Forms are not extended.



You basically have two options.



1. You can reader extend the PDF using Acrobat Professional, however this is a limited license for only 500 users.



2. If you plan on exceeding that number, you must purchase ReaderExtension ES from Adobe.

Allen,



I have already used Adobe Acrobat 8.01 to Enable User Rights if that is what you are referring to.



We only have a max of 50 clients that this form will be going to.



Thanks, Leo

Did you save your form as a dynamic PDF (in the save as dialog)?

Paul,



Yes it is a Dynamic XML Form. Is there a difference in Dynamic PDF and Dynamic XML?



This form was created using LiveCycle Designer 8.1.1.2188.406459

Then user Rights Enabled in Acrobat 8.1.2



Thanks, Leo

Paul,



I thought it might be because I was using the hidden presence in my JavaScript, but that was not it.



Any other suggestions?



Where do I go from here? Could it be a JavaScript issue? It prints fine. It is just when emailing the PDF.



It is like it is starting the form from scratch?



Thanks, Leo

Allen or Paul,



I did some more research. The file saves with all the fields filled in as it was supposed to. But if I go to File - Attach to Email.. it does the same thing. It shows a blank form as if nothing has been filled in? It seems to be only fields that have been set to "invisible" at one point.



Could this be a Event Issue in JavaScript?



On Form Ready I am Setting most of the fields to "invisible"

I set them to "visible" as needed.

Example:

Form1.Body::ready:form - (JavaScript, client)

Body.Project_Information.ClosestJobSiteTown_Label.presence = "invisible"

Body.Project_Information.State.presence = "invisible";

Body.Project_Information.State_Label.presence = "invisible";

Body.Project_Information.JobTown.presence = "invisible";



Thanks, Leo
