1. Re: Populate submit button target email with field?
Niall O'Donovan Dec 1, 2011 6:16 AM (in response to Rodobe1984)Hi,
You can! There are two sample forms here: http://assure.ly/eUR4wJ, depending on the min version of Acrobat/Reader that the user has. Look at the third example on each form and adapt to suit.

2. Re: Populate submit button target email with field?
Rodobe1984 Dec 1, 2011 7:36 AM (in response to Niall O'Donovan)Thanks Niall - just what I was looking for. I'm trying to do a quick example in LiveCycle to see if I can get this to work. Everytime I click the submit / email button Outlook tries to launch.
Any ideas on how I can test this without needing an active Outlook account?

Jono Moore Dec 1, 2011 9:25 AM (in response to Rodobe1984)Acrobat can't send its own emails so it has to call an email client.
Unfortunately this is quite flaky and doesn't always work. It seems to work most well with Outlook but I've found it can depend on the operating system - on my Win7 64bit system it doesn't work. And I could never get it to work with Thunderbird.
Also, it doesn't work if someone is using web-based email.

Niall O'Donovan Dec 1, 2011 11:27 AM (in response to Rodobe1984)Hi,
What you could do in that case is use a "save-as" script in the button, with an xfa.host.messageBox() alert to the user instructing them to save the form to their computer and then manually attach it to an email. Be that they are using their email client or an online email account.
