Can't send Form content as PDF

Avatar

Level 5

Hello there!

I'm just starting with LiveCycle Designer (and LC as a whole) and am feeling really lost with the lack of information for absolute beginners.

Right now I'm trying to build a form to be distributed among clients and then sent back with filled in information.

I create the form in Designer, set the delivery format as PDF, save as PDF, open in Acrobat to extend user rights.... but when I test the form, .... I get the info as XML.

I tried it over and over and always got the same results. I´m getting reeeeealy frustrated.

Please, please, help!

Thank you very much for any ideas.

Change the type of your Email Submit button to "Button" (click on the dropdown of the highlighted portion in the attached screen shot you posted).

And then place the below code in the click event of the button. Set the language to "Java Script"

event.target.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:mymail@myisp.com?subject=FORM TEST",cSubmitAs:"PDF"});

Thanks

Hi Srini,

Thank you very much for your reply.

Well, in a way, yes, I have done that but in a differente way (please see picture), but... I cannot find this submit tab though.

I've tried to get it back by refreshing the tabs positions but it did not work.

Thank you!
