Report · 3/26/13

I have created a form which requires pdf format. I need the form to submit via email with the option to change/select the to: and also add a cc: field with selection as well. Please provide any information available as I am new to livecycle and am not very familiar with script or code.

Thanks!

You can do the following:

You have to use a normal button!!

//fill in e-mail
var Mailto = Formular1.s1.email.rawValue;
//var Mailto = "test@test.de";
//fill in subject
var SubjectBetreff = Formular1.s1.betreff.rawValue;
//var Betreff = "Test-Betreff";
//fill in message
var MessageNachricht = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: " 
+ Formular1.s1.name.rawValue + "\rDatum: " + Formular1.s1.datum.formattedValue;
//var Nachricht = "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=" + SubjectBetreff + "&Body=" + MessageNachricht + "&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,

Kind regard Mandy

Hi there. Thank you for your reply. I pasted what you sent and I am receiving the following:

The following error was found with the XML source:

xml parsing error: not well-formed (invalid token)(error code 4),

line 772, column 70 of file

The line in question is:

var Mail = "mailto:" + Mailto + "?Subject=" + SubjectBetreff + "&Body=" + MessageNachricht + "&cc=" + CC + "&bcc" + BCC;

(the indicated error site is the "y" in "&Body=")

What do Betreff and Nachricht mean? And what I really need for the "to:" field is to have the option to select a name/email or leave the "to:" field blank so they can type in manually. Could you assist with this?

I appreciate any information!

Thanks,

Hello, thank you for your reply. I believe this what I want but am having difficulties implementing it into my form. I created the "send email" button, to: and cc: fields and pasted the script information but I continue to receive error codes.

The script issue seems to be quite confusing for me. I am very new to this and would like to know if you could perhaps walk me through this process.

Can you send me your form please at dariobukovski@yahoo.com so i can take a look at those errors?

Thanks

Thank you so much for your assistance. I have attempted to insert the email addresses but apparently I am doing this incorrectly as I try to test the form and the email addresses do not show up or populate in an email window. It basically does nothing. I have tried numerous ways and still no result.

Could you please instruct me the exact location to enter this information?

The name if you don't understand is only a name for the variable and is an combination from english and german.

Subject is the english word for Betreff

Message is the english word for Nachricht.

You could use this:

//fill in e-mail
var Mailto = Formular1.s1.email.rawValue;
//var Mailto = "test@test.de";
//fill in subject
var SubjectEmail = Formular1.s1.betreff.rawValue;
//var SubjectEmail = "Test-Subject";
//fill in message
var MessageEmail = "Content PDF:\r" + "Field content: " + Formular1.s1.inhalt.rawValue + "\rName: " 
+ Formular1.s1.name.rawValue + "\rDate: " + Formular1.s1.dateEmail.formattedValue;
//var MessageEmail = "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=" + SubjectEmail + "&Body=" + MessageEmail + "&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"
});
