Thanks for asking, Paul. Let me give more detail on the two questions:
(1) We've received a lot of complaints from all over the world that
recipients where not able to open our PDF form. A portion of these
complaints were resolved after we explained recipient that they had to
upgrade to at least Adobe Reader version 7 or newer. However, other
recipient complained that they were still unable to open the form even
with the latest version of Adobe Reader. These are the ones that we're
concerned abo...
The errors seem to occur with the latest version of the Reader. (Those
who had used old versions have upgraded upon my earlier advise. This
solved the problem in several cases but not in others.) The errors seem
to be of different kind, or at least they manifest themselves in
different ways: - A Japan-based Mac user reported that his computer
simply crashed. - Other users got the message that it cannot open the
file.
We are distributing a form to some 300 hundred potential recipients and
got surprised by learning from 5-10% of recipients that they cannot open
the file. The form: - has medium complexity with a submit button that is
programmed so that it directs the filled forms according to the
selection from a drop-down menu- was created in Lifecycle Designer ES
8.2- was saved as "static PDF"- Reader rights extended and supposedly
backwards compatible to Reader version 7 - worked fine in test runs with
Acrob...
Paul, you're a genius. I've just tested it and it works wonderfully.
Cheers,MarkusFor all those who had similar issues: Consider putting an
amp in when modifying subject or body for a submit button with variable
addresses, such as: = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue +
"?cc=test@test.com&subject=testsubject text&body=testbody test.";Whereas
testsubject textandwhereas testbody text.could be any text
Thanks very much, Paul.However, when I'm now using exactly this string,
then I get an 'xml parsing error not well formed code 4 (invalid token)'
for column 107, i.e. between "subject" and "=". Would you, or anyone on
the forum know how to fix it? RealEmail.event__click.submit.target =
mailto: + DropDownList1.rawValue + "?cc=testform@test.com&subject=Re:
Testing New Form&body=Please find attached the
NewForm.″;RealEmail.execEvent(click);
Paul's script is fantastic. I've just figured out how to use it. My
first time ever creating a form. However, I've still a question about
how to further modify it so as to also re-program the cc, subject line,
and text body. I tried to copy script I've found in other forums but it
doesn't seem to work here, perhaps because its already a re-programmed
conditional button. I keep getting a message error code 4' (invalid
token) in reference to the scripts email subject line. Paul, would you,
or anyo...
Paul,Would you also know how to change within the script that you
developed the submit email's subject line, text body, and cc field? I've
tried to copy script I've found in different forums but it doesn't seem
to work in this particular case. Would you, or anyone in this forum
know, how to adapt the script?if (DropDownList1.rawValue !=
null){RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" +
DropDownList1.rawValue; RealEmail.execEvent("click");} else {
app.alert("Please select a choice from the...
I'm trying to change the subject line, body, and cc in a re-programmed
and successfully tested submit process. I tried now in several ways to
put code discussed here into this script but I get either invalid token
messages or nothing happens when I hit the submit button. Does someone
know how to adapt this script: if (DropDownList1.rawValue !=
null){RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" +
DropDownList1.rawValue + "subject:" + subjectText + "body:" + bodyText;
RealEmail.execEvent("clic...
I'm pasting below an answer by "lkassuba" that was posted in a related
forum and seems to also explain our issue: lkassuba - 10:24am Mar 10, 09
PST (#2 of 2) The problem is that the Form Distribution Wizard only
accepts a single email address for the return data. Unfortunately this
cannot be changed because the Wizard also applies Reader-enabling to the
form so it can't be changed later.As a work around you can try using the
Wizard to create the collection DataSet, but not send out the form.
Ins...
I have a similar problem that might be solved by the same kind of
solution: I've created a drop-down list with about ten choices and would
like to have the form emailed upon completion to different combinations
of addresses. E.g. if choice 1 is selected, the form shall be send to
emails A, B, C; if choice 2 is selected, it shall go to emails A, D, E;
if choice 3 is slected it shall go to emails A, C, F; and so on. Would
anyone know if this is possible in LiveCycle Designers, and if so, how
to sc...
Thanks very much, Darren. It's an amazing Javascript. I've added it in
right away. However, I'm now trying since hours but the repeat subforms
are still not showing up in the PDF. Does it perhaps have something to
do with the settings for binding? Would you, or anybody in the forum
know how to resolve this? PS: FYI, this is the script:
Given
Name Required
field: Please write in your first or given name.

Thank you very much, Darren!I've succeeded in formatting the form as a
dynamic PDF allowed the subform to flow. The problem seems to be with
how to program the button so that it would trigger the add subform
event(s). I can't find anything on this in the Adobe help function.
Would you, or anybody in the forum know how to solve this?
Does s/o know where to get a "drop-down list" fragment with a complete
set of countries? (Adobe provides a country drop-down list but with the
software but its rather useless because many countries are missing,
including China, Cuba, Israel, so inadvertent this could cause
embarrassment and/or diplomatic protests).
I'm trying to create a form that should go to different sets of email
recipients depending on a choice selected from a drop down list menu. I
know how to create the drop-down list, but I can't figure out how to
connect it to some kind of "if, then" button or command? Who knows how
to solve this?
I'm trying to create a proposal submission form. Most proposals are
submitted by just one person, many by two or three, but in rare cases by
as many as twelve. I am therefore trying to insert a subform for the
personal data that should appear on the form as many times as needed. I
tried to insert a buttons to trigger additional subforms to appear but
this doesn't seem to work. Now I'm totally lost to as to solve this
issue.
