Hi all

how can i Submit a PDF form (maybe with Java Script) without using the client email outlook (some don't have local or default email and i want to prevent the client from saving the form then attached to Hotmail or Gmail) i do have exchange server where the PDF form is hosted.

thanks so much,
Daniel

Hi dcwirenet,

You cannot send an email through a server via JavaScript- at least you can't do it directly. In this case, you need to submit the PDF through a server script and that server script would interact with the Exchange server. The JavaScript email functions in Acrobat will only interact with an email client on the user's system.

Hope this helps,

Thanks so much for taking time to answer back, can I just email it to my email account but without the client having any default email locally lik outlook, just to email it to me with my credentials smtp (like in a normal webpage JavaScript)

**the problem I'm having is that most of the client who submitting the form have Hotmail or Gmail and they are not a savvy people to save it the attached with there email

Thanks so much

Hi Daniel

This is also a problem we have wanted to avoid for a while and Dimitri is right the only way to do it is with a server side script. We've setup a service to enable this that was initially to be used for the forms we created for clients but have decided to open it up to others for a very small fee (something I myself would have gladly paid to enable this for our clients many years ago had I known) and we can set up your form to test for free anyway to make sure you're happy, we have an example for you to try

Ben
