Email button and setting subject heading

You can use this script, just change the name of the field where the email address is the value. Then put in the subject as you would like it, etc.

I have mine on a list field named CCList with the name showing and the export value has the email address already in the field. But you could use a text field into which the email has been entered.

var address = this.getField("CCList").value
var sub = "Complaint Disposition form";
var msgBody = "Attached is the Complaint Disposition form.";
var cResponse = app.alert({
cMsg: "To email this form, select email addresses from the EMAIL FORM TO list. Hold CTRL to select multiple addresses. \n\nYou will be able to add other email addresses after you click YES.\n\nProceed?\n\nClick YES to proceed.\nClick NO to go back and select addresses.",
nIcon: 2, nType: 2,
cTitle: "Email Form"});
// proceed only if response is "YES"
if (cResponse == 4) {
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: address,
cSubject: sub,
cMsg: msgBody,
cSubmitAs: "PDF"
});
}

Fantastic, that is brilliant and worked a treat, thank you again, been struggling on that one! Also one last thing my script is below which is exactly the same as yours bar one line the subject, i can populate that the same way as the thisgetField method but is there away i can add the word INVOICE before the "Invoice" data from the field

var address = this.getField("CCList").value
var sub = this.getField("Invoice").value;
var msgBody = "Attached is your invoice....";
var cResponse = app.alert({
cMsg: "PDF sent to outlook...",
nIcon: 2, nType: 2,
cTitle: "Email Form"});
// proceed only if response is "YES"
if (cResponse == 4) {
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: address,
cSubject: sub,
cMsg: msgBody,
cSubmitAs: "PDF"
});
}

This is a great example. It's exactly what I would like to do on my first form. Being a complete novice I have tried attaching the code to a "submit by email button" or should it be a regular button?

I have the CCList field as a text field. I am getting the following error.


Error: Invalid property get operation; field doesn't have property 'getField'
PDF generated successfully.

Any suggestions or examples would be helpful


Thank You

Hi

Yea try just creating a normal button and in the actions tab, choose "run a javascript" and enter the following script in there

Is that where your trying it? And have you changed the 'var sub' values?

I am using a Livecycle form just for practice. I have added some fields to match yours just to see if I can get the technique to work.

* when you setup the regular button did you select regular, execute, or submit?

Hi again, checked out the script yesterday in LiveCycle but unfortunately it didn't work either. I built the form from Acrobat as no that inside out but have very little knowledge on LiveCycle as i mainly work on a Mac. Sorry but maybe if you post the question again someone could help you. It looks like you just need to modify the code a bit, but i wouldn't have a clue where to start!
