Is there any way to set up a form to be distributed to two email addresses? I tried adding two submit by email buttons with different email addresses associated with them but it indicates that the form cannot be distributed this way. It there any other process to do this?

I Still, can not sent to more than one e-mail address.

1) Add a button (not the email submit button, just the "button")
2) Set the Control type to Submit
3) On the submit tab, I enter "mailto:mysister [at] myhouse [dot] com?subject=Submitted Form&body=Please find attached the completed form" in the Submit to URL box
4) Change the submit as drop down to PDF or XML
5) Save the form
6) Open the form in professional 8.0 (not livecycle designer)
7) Go to the Advanced option on the toolbar and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader"

This works!

However the moment I try to add a second e-mail address ie.

"mailto:mysister [at] myhouse [dot] com,nobody [at] home [dot] com?subject=Submitted Form&body=Please find attached the completed form"It seems that depending on if I use ":" or ";" I will only get ONE address populated OR if "," an error telling me that it does not recognise the ",".

Where to from here ?

Found these two options.. I have created these in Adobe Pro, not Designer.

NOTE: the code in the API Refrence page 322 is cCC: when in fact that is incorrect and it is cCc:

A: This sends the PDF to to at least two recipients

this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "apstory [at] example [dot] com",
cCc: "dpsmith [at] example [dot] com",
cSubject: "The Latest News",
cMsg: "A.P., attached is my latest news story in PDF."
});


B: This method does it in FDF (But not what I wanted)

this.mailForm(false, "fun1 [at] example [dot] com; fun2 [at] example [dot] com", "", "",
"This is the subject", "This is the body of the mail.");


C: Now all I need is to do be able to send to two people and have the completed form data attachment in XML.

Use a semi-colon to seperate the multiple email addresses. Try this:

mailto:email1 [at] acrobat [dot] com;email2 [at] acrobat [dot] com;email3 [at] adobe [dot] com;email4 [at] whatever [dot] com?subject=This is cool

If you read my posts you would have seen that that DOES not work.

In addition this does not allow me to define the subject or the message.

Oh snap sorry, I thought those were commas. Nonetheless, it worked (semi-colons) perfectly for me but I was using a regular button, send to option, to PDF. Good luck.

Snap ... Zip... Thanks for at least having a go... Problem is that there appears to be many ways to do some things with Forms and thus it is a real effort to find the answer you / I need.

I thought that Designer was part of the Adobe Pro package... However on trying to watch a streaming training session... I found out that They are totally different packages, but bundled together.. I learnt somthing new.
