Dynamic Email submission with variable fields button does not click

Explorador ,
Dec 08, 2020 Dec 08, 2020

I have submit button on a form that when clicked it sends a PDF attachement to a static mailto, with the cc, subject line, and body all based on a field entry.

 

I based my code on this link:

https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address/

 

As a result this is my code.

var cToAddr = "application@email.com";
var cCCAddr = this.getField("Employee_Email").value;
var cSubLine = "Application for" + this.getField("Employee_Name").value;
var cBody = this.getField("Employee_Name").value + "has submitted an Application for review.";
event.target.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: cToAddr, cCc: cCCAddr, cSubject: cSubLine, cMsg: cBody});

 

It appears my code is just wrong. I've tried alternate variations but this seems to be the closest. The Javascript Debugger says:

Clearly the MouseUp function doesn't like the code, though it's what I want to happen. Click on the button and it submits like this would: 

this.submitForm({cURL: "mailto:application@email.com", cSubmitAs: "PDF"}); 

At this point, I'm at a loss of how to make this function properly.

That article includes code for both LiveCycle and regular AcroForms. You've copied the LiveCycle (XFA) code. 

So first, change 

    event.target.mailDoc

to 

    this.mailDoc

 

because "mailDoc" is a document function. 

 

However, you have a lot of other reported errors that do not match the script you've posted. I suspect they are for other scripts on your form. When you are setting up a form it is a really good idea to do one thing at a time, and test it, so you don't have a whole bunch of erro

When you are setting up a form it is a really good idea to do one thing at a time, and test it, so you don't have a whole bunch of errors walking on top of one another. I would strongly suggest deleting all scripts from the document and rebuilding the form one script at a time.

Thank you so much. It works now. I will look at those other scripts.
