Create a script that will Email Subject from Text Field

[michaelt721]

Hello,

I am new to scripting.  Please bare with me.....  i've got my form all set. 

I am looking to have the user click on the "send email" button I created.  Then it will take the data the user entered in a text field (last name) of the form and put that into the subject line of the email before they send it.

So the suject line should read something like:  New User - Williams

i have scoured the forums and found some help but not in full.  I found the scripting section but don't know how to create it or what the script should look like.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi michael

Create a new button, and select "Regular" as the Control Type

Using javascript, add this code to the button's click event:

//Can messageBox text below, if needed

var choice = xfa.host.messageBox("Press OK to submit this form via email, and follow any on-screen instructions", " ", 3, 1);

//If user selects "OK", proceed with email...

if (choice == 1){

var mail;

//default email address where form is to be returned

var address = "email@email.com";

//Build subject line; grab last name field value (update field location/path, as required)

var sub = String.concat("New User - ", form1.Page1.LastName.rawValue);

//Add default text in email body if desired

var body = "Enter Body message here";

//Build email message

mail = "mailto: " + address + "?subject=" + sub + "&body=" + body;

event.target.submitForm({

cURL: mail,

bEmpty: true,

cSubmitAs: "PDF",

cCharset: "utf-8"

});

}

else{

}

NOTE: You will need to make the form Reader Enabled so Adobe Reader users are able to use this as well.
