Add email and cc from a field

[murrjames]

I have a script that takes an email from a field and uses it for the mailto. It also adds to the subject line.

I want the email from a field to now be the CC and the mailto to be in the actual js code, as well as a subjust line which adds a field as well

var cSubline=this.getField("Cost Centre").value + " Please Prepare Translations for " + this.getField("Month").value + this.getField("Date").value + " At " + this.getField("Time").value;

this.mailDoc

({

cTo:this.getField("Province1").value,

cSubject: cSubline

})

So click the button, the email address is filled out, the CC is from a field, the subject line is a field PLUS some text.

Ideas?

The mailto URL uses named parameters for building the email header and body.

The Full mailto Link Syntax list all of the named parameters and has some HTML examples

This is for web, I need for PDF?

The mailto URI in Acrobat is based on the Web URI. The syntax for the "mailto:" statement is no different.

Ok, so I can use this for most of it. thanks. But for the CC, it has to come from a form field the user enters. each form may have a different CC?

Check out the following site that can help you generate the mailto JavaScript:

www.fdftoolkit.net/email-pdf-mailto-generator.aspx

Note: Change "NameOfCcField" with the actual name of CC field.

//Place this script in the buttons mouseUp JavaScript event 

//http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/js_api_reference.pdf#page=345 

//SUBMIT PDF FORMAT WITH ADOBE READER 

var CC_FIELDNAME = "NameOfCcField";

var url = "mailto:" +  encodeURIComponent(this.getField("Province1").value) + "?subject=" +  encodeURIComponent(this.getField("Cost Centre").value) + " Please Prepare Translations for " +  encodeURIComponent(this.getField("Month").value) + " " +  encodeURIComponent(this.getField("Date").value) + " At " +  encodeURIComponent(this.getField("Time").value) + "&body=See attached file...&cc=" +  encodeURIComponent(this.getField(CC_FIELDNAME).value) + "&bcc="; 

var submitAs = "PDF";//PDF,FDF,XFDF,XDP,XML 

this.submitForm({cURL:url,cSubmitAs:submitAs});

Hi all, I am trying to solve a similar issue and any help will be appreciated.

I want the mailto to be always the same email address, but the email from a field to be the CC.

Any ideas?

[ttolun]

Basically,

When the user clicks the submit button, I want the PDF form to be attached in the email. And the mailto address is always the same address, but I need the email address from a field to be the CC.

I pretty sure this is possible but I don't have any idea how.
