Submitting form through Outlook email

right click on the button near the edge -> palette -> objectschange it here

If you need full control over the submission process including SUBJECT/BODY/FORMAT, you could submit to a server-side script (ASP/PHP) that attaches the PDF to a SMTP message and sends it to a specified email recipient w/o the need for 3rd party e-mail software such as Outlook, check out PDFEmail.net.

@PDFChild: I don't see where in the Objects palette you change the subject field. Can you be more specific?

@NK-INC: I don't know how to write ASP/PHP scripts. Also, since I am behind a firewall, I don't know if your solution would work but I do appreciate you responding.

If you're using an Email Submit Button, under the Object palette, Field tab, you can set recipient email address and the email subject.

If you're using a regular Button with Control Type (Object palette, Field tab) set to "Submit", then you go to the Submit tab. Make the "Submit to URL":

mailto:recipientaddress [at] company [dot] com?subject="Your Subject Line"=============================================================================

See this page on mailto syntax for ways to specify message body, CC people, etc:

@Gillian: No problem.. PDFEmail.net creates the scripts for you. For the firewall issue, do you have a .net website?

I can't use the Email submit button because the form has to go to a distribution list. The email submit button only lets you do one address that follows the format: name [at] domain [dot] com. The address I am sending to is dl [dot] group [dot] groupname [at] domain [dot] com. So I have been using the regular button and clicking submit for control type. Then I can enter the distribution list email in the submit tab.So how do I control the subject with the button tab?

Make the "Submit to URL" the following:

mailto:dl [dot] group [dot] groupname [at] domain [dot] com?subject="Your Subject Line"

That worked. However, now it attaches the form with a bizarre name full of wierd characters. It doesn't use the actual name of the form. How do I fix that?

Unfortunately, I have no idea why that's happening. You could search through the forums to see if earlier threads have dealt with that problem... I hope someone else has a better answer than this.

OK, thanks for your responses.
