I need to email submit and have one of the field inputs like an address appear in the subject line and also in the attached file name. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Paul.  I think I have a button that will work from your great attachment.  On the saving issue.  Do you have any thoughts on any code that might auto save 'behind the sences so to speak' to a users temp file and then pick up the email submit without the user having to save it and then go get it to email?

Thanks again for your expertise!

I found this thread very informative, however, the examples given don't seem to detail the same issue I'm having.  Similar to the first example, I have a PDF from with a button at the bottom that says "Click here to Submit Form" and on the back side it is a simple Mailto:email@email.com  The document Paul provided helped me see where I can specify the subject using Java but what syntax do I input to call the contents of a field from the form as the first portion of the subject?

If there if a Field on my Form called "ApplicantLastName"  I'd like for the Contents of that filed to be part of the Subject of the email sent so the Subject would ultimately be "Doe-NEW-Access-Request" where the word "Doe" is the content of the "ApplicantLastname" field.

This may have been covered in this thread and I'm just blind and not grasping it, if so please feel free to beat me with a wet noodle and point it out....Any help would be appreciated.

With some other help in the forums the following code behind the button seems to do what I need it to.  The only issue I'm having now is getting this email button to actually attach the PDF form to the email.  I'm also trying to get it to pull data from two fields (Applicant Last Name and Applicant First Name) but the syntax eludes me....

topmostSubform.Page1.Submit_Button::mouseUp - (JavaScript, client)

Here is a sample form, now the subject change test button I created won't even work and I'm not sure why...

I am having trouble opening up your example using the Acroform method from your attachment. Do you know any reason why this would be? I am looking at attaching a recruitment number to the subject line when an applicant submits an application.

Thanks for any help.

I can open your attachment with the examples, however when I click on the Acroform example, it does not do anything. Maybe it is not supposed to open. If that is the case, I need to know how to get this function to work.

Thanks for your help.

I have Acrobat 9.0 installed and am using the Adobe LiveCycle to create my form.  The form attached shows the field I want to attach to the subject line in an email when it is submitted.

Thanks for your help. I am very new with Adobe LiveCycle.

Thanks Paul. However I am unable to open the PDF. It says QUEUED next to it.

I have the PDF now. Do I need to change any of the coding do get it to work? When I hit the submit button it brings up a dialog box asking if I use a local email (i.e Outlook) or an Internet Service. When I click the local email it does not do anything.

Thanks,

Aaron

We us Microsoft Outlook.

Yes. We have a organizational IT department. I can call them and ask if our viris scan is blocking this from working. Anything else I should tell them?

Is it possible to use PDF as the "Submit as" type?  My button doesn't appear to do anything when selecting PDF as the type.  Setting it to XML or XDP the dialog box pops right up when clicking the submit button.  I've even tried your untitled1_pauls.pdf file.

Thanks.

Figured it out.  Opened the form outside Livecycle and it works.  Just didn't work in "Prevew PDF" inside livecycle.
