Adding multiple email addresses to javascript for a Submit button on a .pdf form

[mj1904]

I have a javascript that works with a cTo and a cCc. however, I want to add a second address to the cCc line. When I do it only sends to the second address listed and not the first. How do I get it to send to all three addresses?

You can add multiple email addresses, if you separate them using a semi-colon.

doesn't work, the Acrobat won't accept the javascript with a semicolon, have to use a comma. Still only gives me the second email listed.

Please post your code, I think you are missing something basic.

[mj1904]

var emailSubject = "New Commercial Card Request Form submitted for " + this.getField("COMPANYNAME ").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("DATE").valueAsString;
var emailMsg = "New Commercial Card Request Form submitted for " + this.getField("COMPANYNAME").valueAsString ;

this.mailDoc({
cTo: ("CashManagementProducts@XYC.com"),
cCc: ("dsanders@XYC.com"),
cSubject: (emailSubject),
cMsg: (emailMsg)
})

that code is obviously with only one email in the To and the CC lines. Can't add a second one to either and have it work right.

In order for us to do debug, you have to post the code that doesn't work 😉

Hi,

Please refer to page 287 of the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference:

 https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcrobatDC_js_api_reference.pdf

Like Thom and Try67 have suggested some basic things were skipped. You need to remove the parenthesis when using the parameters cTo   and cCc , you alse need to input all emails within the quotes separated by semicolon.

The this.mailDoc  part should look like this:

this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "CashManagementProducts@XYC.com; anotherCCcontact_1@XYC.com",
cCC: "dsanders@XYC.com; anotherCCcontact_2@XYC.com; anotherCCcontact_3@XYC.com",
cSubject: "your subject here",
cMsg: "your message, yari, yara, blassi, blassi, etc."
});

Also NOTE:  that bUI  part needs to be set. Using the JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference on page 288  see quote

" If false, the cTo parameter is required and all others are optional. "

Ok, so I tried (kinda) what you instructed though your suggestion did not include the variable email subject and message. This is the code I entered. When I try to close the javascript box in Acrobat, it highlights the lines with the two email addresses. What am I doing wrong? 

this.mailDoc({

bUI: false

           cTo:       "CashManagementProducts@ABC.com",

           cCc:       "email1@ABC.com";"email2@ABC.com",

           cSubject:  var emailSubject = "New Commercial Card Request Form submitted for " + this.getField("COMPANYNAME ").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("DATE").valueAsString;,

           cMsg:      var emailMsg = "New Commercial Card Request Form submitted for " + this.getField("COMPANYNAME").valueAsString ;

    })

You didn't actually do what they suggested, and you added new errors into code. 

Here's the corrected code.  Notice how the "cCc:" parameter is a single string. The ";" is inside the string. Not outside. If it's outside the string then it has special meaning to the JavaScript engine, but inside the string it's part of the grouped addresses.  Notice also that I removed the variable declarations. You can't declare varaibles as a object member value.  

this.mailDoc({bUI: false
           cTo:"CashManagementProducts@ABC.com",
           cCc:"email1@ABC.com;email2@ABC.com",
           cSubject: "New Commercial Card Request Form submitted for " + this.getField("COMPANYNAME ").valueAsString + " " + this.getField("DATE").valueAsString,
           cMsg:"New Commercial Card Request Form submitted for " + this.getField("COMPANYNAME").valueAsString
    })

[mj1904]

it is still not accepting the cCc: line. I did change them back to actual email addresses.

Well, there is a problem with the code, but it's not the cc. The comma is missing from the end of "bUI" parameter.  This would have been the issue first to be reported in the console window. 

I tested this code (fixed the comma) and it works just fine. There is no problem with the cc line.

To verify this, change the bUI parameter to true, so you see the result in the email dialog.

Thanks. I did finally get it to work.

[try67]

You should not put a space after the semi-colons, though.

thanks...  noted.
