Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to have two separate buttons inside my form that simply email my pdf to two different addresses. For some reason though the first button I create and enter an email address for takes presedence over all the rest of the buttons I create. So I create button1 with email address bob [at] bob [dot] com then i create another button2 and say that has an email address of larry [at] larry [dot] com well what is happening is no matter what i put in button2's properties or inside the XML it still puts bob [at] bob [dot] com in the to line of the email. I am using the button object and changing it to a submit with the PDF option selected from the drop down. I have been able to do this in the past but since i have upgraded to Lifecycle 8.2 I can no longer get it to work right. Any help is appreciated. I don't know how to code in lifecyle but I do understand the principles of programming so if it is something that i need to do "under the hood" so to speak then please give me that option also.

I am also receiving this warning:

Hi. I'm having the very same issue. I need 2 seperate email submit buttons. Depending on which region the person is mailing from they would choose a different button to submit the form. I havent found anything to help me get this fixed. I'm not a programmer so all the coding being referenced in different examples is of little help. I have a basic understanding of scripting but nothing to brag about!

Has anyone been able to help you with this?

Thanks
S

Hmm, sounds like a bug in LiveCycle 8.2 or Acrobat 9. I haven't tested this yet, but I imagine you could get around it using a script for the email submit. Take a look at this article and the sample doc:

I tried out the two button technique you described. I added to ordinary button to a form in LiveCycle 8.2. Then changed the buttons to "Submit" and placed a different email address for each submit URL. Each submitted to the correct address. Didn't see any problem at all. Can you describe your setup in more detail?
