Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 email button question

[JaysFan]

I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer ES2 to create an Adobe Acrobat X pdf form. The form uses a checkbox to select different options, and then the form is sent via e-mail to a specific e-mail address. I am wondering if it is possible to script the following option when sending the e-mail:

I have a dropdown list box where a person's name is selected e.g. John Smith.    Depending upon which person is selected, is it possible to include their name in the cc field of the e-mail message, so that John Smith is appended to @abc.com  for an e-mail address of john.smith@abc.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can do the following:

• You have to use a normal button!!
• Please copy the following code in the click-event of the normal button!
• You have only adapt if the name of your DropDwonList is not the same ( in line 1 and line 4)!!
• If the user don't use the DD the buttons don't works. The button works if the user select any emal of the DD.

if(DropdownListe1.rawValue != null)
{
    //fill in e-mail
    var Mailto = DropdownListe1.rawValue;
    //var Mailto = "test@test.de";
    //fill in subject
    //var YourSubject = Formular1.s1.subject.rawValue;
    var YourSubject = "Test Subject";
    //fill in message
    //var YourMessage = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: " 
    var YourMessage = "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 = "testcc@test.de";
    //fill in e-mail bcc
    //var BCC = Formular1.s1.emailbcc.rawValue;
    var BCC = "testbcc@test.de";
    var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + YourSubject + "&Body=" + YourMessage + "&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"
    });
}

Hope it will helps you,

Mandy

Hi Mandy,

Thank you very much for your reply. I created a new normal button and copied the code in form in Adobe LiveCycle ES2. I extended the Adobe Reader Features in Adobe Acorbat X, and then opened the pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X reader. I am able to process the form, and exactly as you said, if I don't select a person from the drop down list, the E-mail submit button doesn't work. Upon filling out the entire form (including select a person from the drop down dialog box), the e-mail submit button displays a dialog box called Send Form. I have inherited the original form another programmer. I suspect there is coding hidden in the form, but I am sure where. I am attaching a screen shot for your reference.  Appreciate you help.

Thanks

When we distribute a form via Acrobat and it picks the sender information from its preference setting.

Go to Edit -> Preferences -> identity (category) -> check the identity information.

Hi,

I'm also using this script.  When I submit as XML it works perfectly, but when I try and submit as pdf by just changing

cSubmitAs: "XML"

to

cSubmitAS: "PDF"

it does not work.  Any ideas?
