Submitting a Form to Multiple Recipients

You are using the correct syntax for both the additional email address and the "cc". The problem is the "Distribute Form" wizard. It wants a single address for the return data and doesn't allow for any other configuration. It also applies Reader Enabling to the form so it can't be changed later.

There is a way around this though. Use the Wizard to create the collection DataSet, But don't send out the form. Instead send out your original form with the multiple return addresses. Be sure to Reader Enabled the form for "Form" and "Save" rights, and make sure the submit is returning the entire PDF. When the files come back from the users you'll have to manually add them into the data collection.

Do things this way is only slightly more work than using the full "Distribute Forms" functionality. You get the advantage of being able export the collected datat into a useful format.

Just wanted to stop back and tell you Thanks! I did what you said and it works perfectly!

This is fixed in Acro 9, though, right?

I'm able to add multiple addresses to the To field in the Wizard. (Using the Acrobat.com method if that makes a diff.). It parses them out into individual line entries, one address per line, in the resulting tracker.

I have designed a form that someone else should receive the responses from. The default seems to be that they come back to me. I don't want to get the responses. How does one change the sender or author when distributing a form?

You should set the address to the recipient in the Submit Button before you distribute the form.

So, if I have added the addresses to the Email Submit button in the Object dialogue email address area and then distributed the form, it will go to the email addresses that I listed there as well as to me?

If you setup the Submit Button correctly the Distribute Forms Wizard should use the existing setup and not try to change it. But even if it does change it you can provide multiple addresses. Email addresses are always separated by a semicolon. Just like they appear in your standard email program. Like this:

"me [at] mine [dot] com;you [at] yours [dot] com"You have to explicitly list all the email address you want in the list.

Thanks for your help! I am new at the LiveCycle Designer.

Hello,

I have combined several word documents into one pdf file with the goal of eliminating redundant fields. However, each form needs to go to a different email address. Can I do this in Adobe? Also, how do you display text on the submit button? I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 pro. Thank you in advance for any help that you can provide.
