Send pdf by email without database

Avatar

Level 1

I have built a form in Livecycle and the form is attached to a database so that the drop down fields "pull" data from the database.  When the form fields are filled in the form is designed to be email to  other people. 

The problem is that when a person receives the email and they try to open the attachment they get a message that the database is required. 

How can I send the completed form as an attachment to an email so that the recipient is able to open the attachment without receiving the message that the database is required. Thanks.

Hi,

That is going to be difficult to get rid of the error. You could send a flattened (print to PDF) version if the user has Acrobat. Alternatively, you could set up a call to the database on docReady event and then show a custom dialog.
