Question about saving/emailing PDF forms

Hey liztapanes, this can be done by following these steps:

1) Insert a regular button in LiveCycle
2) In the Object tab you will see 3 radio buttons (regular, execute and submit)
3) Select the Submit radio button; you will see another tab show up that reads "Submit"
4) Click in the Submit tab
5) You will see a drop down with the text "Submit as".
6) From the dropdown select "PDF"
7) Then fill in the "Submit to URL" with mailto:xxx [at] xxx [dot] com (where xxx [at] xxx [dot] com is your email address where you want it sent)That is how I would do it, then all you need to do is have the user click on the button, it will open an Outlook window with the PDF form attached and the email filled in, all the user will need to do from here is hit the send button.

Hope this helps,

I'm hoping someone can help with this. I am using Adobe Designer 7.0. I have one twist to the above scenario . . .

I don't have specific email for the form to be sent. The user will need to determine or populate the proper email.

Is it possible for Outlook to pull up without an email address populated & left blank for the user to complete?or

Can it pull from a list of email addresses that the user can select from?

They have reader and I want this form to be sent as a PDF attachment, not data.

Am I asking for to much from this? I am new to it and don't know it's capabilities.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I am no expert, however I think that if there is a way for the user to be able to select the email address the want, you will need to use JavaScript program. Unfortunately I have no idea what this code would look like.

You may be able to put a list of email address in "Submit to URL" box; however I have not tested this option.

Sorry that I couldn’t be more help.

Hi Amanda,
You can write only "mailto:" to the submit URL area, if not mailing adress defined yet. It opens a new mail editor with PDF attached.
Hope it helps,
