How can I display a pdf in an email not as an attachment but as an image while making use of a submit by Email button?

[karenv83974049]

I'm making use of a Email button/javascript which generates an automatic email where the pdf is included as an attachment (Outlook).

Below is the javascript of the action. It works fine, but the client would like that the PDF-form is immediately visible, instead of having to open it as an attachment.

Any ideas how to adjust the code?

Javascript by Thom Parker

// This is the form return email. It's hardcoded

// so that the form is always returned to the same address.

// Change address on your form to match the code below

var cToAddr = "formsAdmin@BigCorp.com"

// First, get the client CC email address

var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;

// Now get the beneficiary email only if it is filled out

var cBenAddr = this.getField("BennyEmail").value;

if(cBenAddr != "")

cCCAddr += ";" + cBenAddr;

// Set the subject and body text for the email message

var cSubLine = "Form X-1 returned from client"

var cBody = "Thank you for submitting your form.\n" + "Save the filled form attachment for your own records"

// Send the entire PDF as a file attachment on an email

this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});

You can't. It's up to the email application/service to decide how to display an attached file. You can't influence that with a script.
