Thank you for your videos! Life saver.
Also, if you need a line break in your body text, use (
).

Hi Nathan, I just tried this and it worked once I put in the "&" I also added a Cc line < this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:email?cc=email &subject=text &data&body=text"; > Love your tutorials!!

[@Gold-Nugget]

Thank you for these great instructions. It worked straight away in the Forms Designer.
How can I address individual field contents entered in the subject and body?
I probably just have a mistake with the quotation marks.
How do I implement +xfa.resolveNode("FieldName").rawValue
yes I know the age of this vid 😅

[@albertpaola]

Is it also in the preSubmit part that I can modify the xml nodes before sending them out?
I've got a input node that should be removed before submitting the xml in a mail…
What command should I use? I've seen something like xfa.record.nodes.remove(oNode); but can I use this in the submit?
Thnx!

Hi Nathan, is it possible to submit one pdf from a form that has 2 different master page templates?

[@hickam16]

Hello Nathan, thank you very much for the high quality videos. Is there a way to attach a specific page of the form to the email instead of the entire form?

[@Truetechtroubleshooting]

There is no way to do this cleanly (using native functionality). However, you could put a script in the "preSubmit" event to hide any unwanted pages. Something like:
this.presence = "hidden";

@@Truetechtroubleshooting Thank you! and again, pretty sweet tutorials

[@lehuynhbaoanh5253]

Hi Nathan, I try to do your way, unfortunately, the submit button didn't work. I don't know why. Do you have any suggestion?

Hi Nathan
Can submit pdf from XML to workbench process through WSDL

[@bethluensman9610]

Hey Nathan. Thanks so much for these tutorials. They are a life-saver. Is there a way to program an E-mail Submit button to go to multiple e-mail address or are we limited to just one?

[@Truetechtroubleshooting]

Yes, in the mailto: field you just need you can add multiple emails address separated by a semicolon.

[@meenufsts]

​@@Truetechtroubleshooting I need to send my form to manager's email based on location selection, I made fields Location, Managers Name, and Manager Email and one Submit Button(added HR Email). I added actions to auto populate Managers name and Managers Email based on Location selection. How can I write code to send form also to cc emails(managers emails) with HR email as my form now only goes to HR email with Submit by Email button.

Good day:
I'm currently designing a Telephone message form for our COVID team. There are two teams of nurses, one handing Exposures and the other Contact and Case Management CCM. The problem is as the creater of the form is the only one able to email and print the form.
What I am missing with the security?

[@Truetechtroubleshooting]

You need to use Acrobat Pro to "turn on" Adobe Reader Extensions after creating your form in LiveCycle. I have a video on how to do this...th-cam.com/video/V5oyXQtD-58/w-d-xo.html

[@johamaekers6787]

Hi Nathan, thanks for making these tutorials! Question: is there a way to use the created forms with Acrobat reader running on IOS? Whatever I try I get a message that the pdf file needs Reader for Mac or Windows?

[@Truetechtroubleshooting]

Jo, sorry no. The iOS Reader Apps do not have the ability to "render" LiveCycle dynamic forms (apparently, Adobe and Apple don't think the processors in phones/mobile devices have enough power to be trusted....hopefully, someday soon they will)
You can, however, save the form in LiveCycle as a static pdf, and iOS Reader will open them.
Making the form static, will significantly limit the forms ability to change (grow/shrink, hide/show, etc.)

[@johamaekers6787]

OK, thanks! Let's hope they will.

[@Amanda-tj7pe]

Hi Nathan, I know how to add multiple emails by separating them with a semicolon, how do I cc an email address? I used to be able to just type mailto:[e-mail]; etc etc in the Object library and now I keep getting an error. Did something change when upgrading to ES4 and now we have to use javascript?

[@chantalharper257]

this.resolveNode("#event").submit.target = "mailto:email?cc=email &subject=text &data&body=text";

[@bbjohn614]

Hey Nathan, how can I name the .pdf file attachment? Can I name it using a field on my form?

[@Truetechtroubleshooting]

Short answer: No. Sorry, but Adobe sandboxes that kind of info from the OS layer (where filenames are accessed). Google it if you are interested in the technical details.

[@pratikshekokar6742]

Can Anyone tell me is it possible to convert entered English data into Arabic directly..
Thank you in advance.

[@hazel3419]

Hey there, This is an old video so maybe no one still looking at comments but just in case...... I succeeded in making a form, but on your video 5minutes in where you see the email created, your attachment has the name Empty Field Submit.... mine has some gobbledegook in there like _0esblahblahblah and not my form name, there seems to be no way of changing that. I tried both the email submit button and creating a button with a submit......... ps I have ZERO coding experience so that is like programming a moon rocket!
