I would like to to pull a name from a form field on my forms and place it where (add name from a form field here) in the script below. The script works perfectly as is, I would just like to add the name to each section. Can someone please help? Thanks

 

this.mailDoc({ cTo: "joeblow@myemail.com",


cSubject: "My Form for (add NAME from a form field here)",cMsg: "Please see the attached form in reference to (add NAME from a form field here) ."

 

});

    Try this:

     

    var str1 = this.getField("FirstName").valueAsString;
    var str2 = this.getField("MiddleName").valueAsString;
    var str3 = this.getField("LastName").valueAsString;
    var sMsg = "Please see the attached Inquest Summary Report/Autopsy Authorization in reference to the death of " + str1 + " " + str2 + " " + str3 + ". If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office. Thank you!"
    var sSubject = "My Form";
    this.mailDoc({ cTo: "joeblow@myemail.com", cSubject: sSubject ,cMsg: sMsg});

    Thank you for your response again. For some reason it will not pull the form fields into the email. I have the fields labeled exactly like in the code.

    This is the javascript that I would actually like to have if you could help me figure out how to pull the First, Middle, and Last name from the form fields in the pdf form. Each name has it's own field and are titled (FirstName) (MiddleName) (LastName). For some reason, the script will not recogzine the field name. This script works perfectly except it will not pull the fields into the message. Thank you!

     

    this.mailDoc({ cTo: "joeblow@myemail.com",


    cSubject: "Justice of the Peace Inquest Summary Report/Autopsy Authorization",cMsg: "Please see the attached Inquest Summary Report/Autopsy Authorization in reference to the death of (First Name) (MiddleName) (LastName). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my office. Thank you!"

     

    });

    The Console says your made a typo in the field's name.

    JavaScript is case sensitive.

    I double checked the spelling of the form field name and still getting the same response in the console. It's still not recognizing the form field name. Thanks for any help with this.

    1. Where exactly did you enter this code, and how did you run it?

    2. Was there anything in the JavaScript console?

    Try this, after adjusting the field name:

     

    var sName = this.getField("name").valueAsString;
    var sSubject = "My Form for " + sName;
    var sMsg = "Please see the attached form in reference to " + sName + ".";
    this.mailDoc({ cTo: "joeblow@myemail.com", cSubject: sSubject ,cMsg: sMsg});

    Thanks for your reply. I entered the code and replaced "name" with my form field name but nothing happened.
