Hi,

I have done some form using LiveCycle Designer (from the Adobe Acrobat Pro 8) and my submit form is working correctly if there's only one recipient mail.

I tried to add a second mail by separate the mails using ;

In my preview it works correctly, but when I want to distribute the form, I can't add a second mail as the box would not let me do so.

I tried to use a Javascript to send it by mail like
app.mailMsg(false, "mail1 [at] company [dot] com; mail2 [at] company [dot] com", "", "",
"Subject", "Body.");

This is working correctly, but the PDF is not attached to the mail.

Do anyone have an idea to add 2 or more mails to my Submitt button or to add the form to a mail using a Javascript ?

Thanks for your appreciated help !

I have been wondering about this, too; so I tried it with a form that I set up in Acrobat Pro and it worked. I haven't tried it with a form created in LiveCycle Designer, but I'm pretty sure it will work. First off, you need to delete your 'submit' button and just use a plain button. At the Object/Field tab under 'caption' set the control type to 'submit'. Then click on the Submit tab and under 'Submit to URL:' type mailto:person1 [at] company [dot] org; person2 [at] company [dot] org (etc.). Then under 'Submit As:' select PDF. That way, the entire form will be sent instead of an XML file.DB

I already did that and it worked, BUT when I distribute the form Adobe don't let me the two emails (When I choose "Save and send later"

So I don't think this is the good way...

Anyway thanks for sharing your knowledge !

A workaround might be to set up a "rule" in your email program. Mine is Outlook. You can set up a rule that new email with XXXX in the subject line will send a copy to YYYYY. More steps but it may work.....
