Default Email Sent During Form Submit

If you place your own email submit button on the form you can include your own subject and message.

Thanks very much for your reply. My apologies as I cannot seem to find where to input the format for the subject/message.

- I create a submit button
- Trigger: Mouse Down; Action: Submit a Form
- Close.

I cannot seem to find the area where Acrobat allows me to create the content for the email.

Thank you for your help.

It's all in the URL. See this article.

The URL format described in this article can also be used with the "Submit a Form" action.

Besides the submitForm Action, there are 3 other fucntions in Acrobat JavaScript that can send an email. Each has inputs for the subject and message body. I've already written an article on this and hopefully it'll be posted soon on JavaScript Corner. But you can look them up in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference as well.

Hello, sorry for the delay in between responses and thank you for the above tips - they worked perfectly.

The only issue I am running into now is that when Acrobat opens the distributed file, at the top, there's a default message that says: "Please fill out the following form. When finished, click "Submit Form..." Is there a way for me to alter the functionality of this submit form button so that it matches my customized submit form button?

I do not believe that there is any way to change this text:(

Thanks again for your help.

To confirm, even after creating a "custom" submit button within the PDF, there will ALWAYS be a default submit button at the top of the document that has its own default attributes. Is this correct?

Thom,

The link you have posted here

''http://www.acrobatusers.com/tech_corner … ting_data/''

appears to be dead now. Do you know if the article is posted elsewhere?

that post is very old. JavaScript Corner no longer exists. Everything is in the tutorials now. Try this link
