Need Help: Submit form through email

Avatar

Level 10

I need to submit my form to an email address on single click of a button.

The submit type can be either XML or PDF. But i should neither get any warning nor it should open the Email Client.

And everything should happen within Adobe Reader 9.

Is this possible?

Thanks in Advance,

Nith

For a submission there will be no warnings assuming that you have no validations or mandatory fields.

Nope ....you must interact with the mail dialog now ....stops the ability to have a PDF become a spam generator. Your other option is to submit to a server and have a server program do the email on your behalf.

Thanks Paul,

In my case, it is not necessary to send email; rather I just want to capture the data from the form and save it in database. So if I could submit the form to a server program which is sufficient. But even for this I should not get any warnings.. is this possible?

Thanks & Regards,

This works without any issue.

But now, i don't want the user to submit the same form again and again. Any way to prevent this?

I tried to set a flag in a hidden text field. But the data din't get saved.

Then i tried to Reader Extend the form, but still i could not.

Any way to do this Paul?

Thanks,

Hi Nith,

I saw this question and was interested in what sort of database setup you've got etc. Im a bit new and was just starting to explore how or if you could establish a database to take and store  the information directly from the forms

I know this is a bit off topic.... but any pointers would be appreciated. I have CS4 master suite (no other livecycle products or budget for them though) and Office 2007.  

I had been using a custom xml parser to pull the info and put it into target files but this has no storage/reuse potential and is getting real "clunky" so im keen to learn about databases and livecycle.  

cheers

Once if form is closed and re-opened again, the submit button is restored to enable state.

This is where I got stuck.

hi legallogic,

It works for me without livecycle suite, but we need a LivceCycle Designer to design the form.

In my case, i have designed a user acceptance form which will be sent to a customer for feedback. The customer can fill the form and click submit.

The form will be posted to a .net web page (as url encoded data).

The c# code fetchs the information from the Requester object and save them in a SQL Server 2005 database.

Thanks,

Nith
