I am creating a form in Acrobat useing LiveCycle Designer for the first time. I may be clueless to all that is involved with the email submit button--but here is where Im having some trouble.
I am making a Work Request form that staff can submit to me via email.
When I use the New Form Assistant and choose a submit option (email submission) The submit tab does not show in the object pallet so I cannot choose how it will be submitted. I can however specify a subject for the email. Ultimately the email submissions will come to my email address. When I test this version--I get the email, but when I click on the attachment, it sends me to the internet browser and a bunch of code comes up--
Alternatively, if I create my own button and assign control type to submit, the submit tab now appears and I am able to choose pdf under "submit as" which works fine and sends me a pdf no problem, but I cannot manipulate what the subject of the email is.
Is there a way to either change the format to pdf when using the predetermined email submit button, or is there a way to set a subject when creating an email submit button from scratch?
Until you get a solid response on this, you could look into using a server script to do this for you. I did it pretty easily with PHP. Just use an HTTP Submit button instead of an email and let the script do the email generation side of it.
