Multipurpose button

[gretchenhs42]

I have been struggling for a few days now on a submit button that I need to do many things.

I've read so many forums on this, but still can't get it quite right.

I need this button to email a pdf with the subject line that says District ## <---being a response from the form.

I need it to be electronically signed

I have tried.....

1. I made a submit button that I can click and it will sign and mailto URL, but can't figure out how to get the subject to be dynamic.

2. I have a regular button with a Javascript click code as...

var subject = "District " + district.rawValue;

var myDoc = event.target;
try {  myDoc.mailDoc({
        bUI: false,
        cTo: 'receiver@domain.com', // Replace with actual receiver mail address.
        cSubject: subject,
        cSubmitAs: "PDF"
    });
} catch (e) {
    // exception handling...
}

and then had it call another Submit button that is invisible that actually does the Submit / Sign etc.

     The problem with this one is it's trying to submit two times.

Does anyone have any magic they can share with me?

I have tried using the HTTP buttons as well to no avail.

don't call a second submit button, it's not convenient for what you are trying to do.. you can do everything you want with only one button...

1. For your email try this without a try catch

var oDoc = event.target;

                    oDoc.mailDoc({

                                                            bUI: false,

                                                            cTo: "bob@bob.bob",

                                                            cCC: "",

                                                            cSubject: xfa.resolveNode("Main.frmPart1.frmA.Subform124.txtTANo").rawValue,

                                                            cMsg: "You have received a PDF!"

                                                  });

it submit as PDF automatically

Thank you for your reply.

I have two questions at this time.

1. If I'm putting these under a regular button, how will I get the electronic signature to work?

2. This line is not behaving correctly.     

cSubject: xfa.resolveNode("District " + form1.Page1.TopPart.District).rawValue;

So I was wanting the subject to say District (then fill in the value from the text field on the form)

Thank you so much for your help.

resolveNode is a method that only searchs for nodes with the given string,

so in resolveNode() you must only insert somExpressions...

cSubject: "District " + xfa.resolveNode("form1.Page1.TopPart.District").rawValue;

euhmm and I never worked with electronic signature but you probably have an execValidate() method for your signature field?!?
