Email forms

[Knight_Time]

I would like to have a customers email field on my form so that when the submit form button is pressed the form will be submitted to our office and the customer.

thanks

This requires using a script. See: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address

[Knight_Time]

Thanks I am not a coder so please bear with me. When I create a button I go to the Action tab and select trigger Mouse up.I then select submit a form in select action. Where do I type the code

[try67]

Instead of "Submit a form" select "Run JavaScript".

[Knight_Time]

Thanks but do I copy and paste complete script shown or only parts of it. I understand I have to change email addresses within the script.

[Knight_Time]

OK sorry to trouble you as I have now been able to make this script work which is fantastic. I would like to edit it so that a field on the form called Job Number is placed in the attached field of the email. Is this possible please?

[try67]

Do you mean you want to use that field's value in the subject line of the email? If so, please post your code and describe what the full subject line should be.

[Knight_Time]

OK. Not in the Subject line but in the Attached line. The form is called "Engineers Report" and it has a field called "Job No:" . The job number field is completed with a unique number e.g. J12345. I would like the email attached line to state Engineers Report J12345.

Ah, you mean that you want to rename the file before attaching it... That's more difficult. It's only possible if a script is installed on the local machine of each user who is going to use it, basically.

[Knight_Time]

OK having a rethink can I put "Engineers Report Job No J12345" in the subject line and I will save the document with a file name which is more generic.

[try67]

Sure. Set the cSubject parameter in your code to:

cSubject: "Engineers Report Job No " + this.getField("Engineers Report").valueAsString

[Knight_Time]

Thankyou you have a very special skill much appreciated

[Knight_Time]

One last thing how do I get a space between No and J12345 please

[try67]

There is a space there in the code I posted above...

[Knight_Time]

Thanks my mistake

Look at the space after No.
