Sending a document or form via e-mail
You can create a button on your form that automatically mails the PDF document to a
specified e-mail address when selected.You can also specify that only the form data is
mailed as an FDF file.
In the following example, the name@address.com variable represents the e-mail address to
which the form is to be sent. Most e-mails have a message subject that gives a brief
description of the content of the message.The Message Subject Description variable in the
example represents the description that would accompany an e-mail message.The
double sets of quotes are where you can enter a cc: e-mail address and (blind) bcc: e-mail
address, if desired.
To assign an action that e-mails a document or form:
1 Select the form tool
form fields" on page 145. Name this field MailPDF.
If you want to create a second button that mails only the forms data (an FDF file), do so,
and name the field MailFDF. An FDF file is smaller in size because it contains only the data
entered into the form, and not the form itself.
2 Choose Button from the Type menu, and specify the border, background, text, and field
appearances. Click the Options tab, and specify selections as needed. For more infor-
mation, see "Creating interactive buttons" on page
3 Click the Actions tab, choose Mouse Up, and then click Add.
4 Choose JavaScript from the Type menu, and then click Edit.
5 To mail the PDF document to the specified e-mail address when the button is selected,
in the script window, enter the following text in the exact format, and click OK:
this.mailDoc(true, "name@address.com", "", "", "Message Subject
Description");
To mail the forms data (only) as an FDF file, use the following script instead:
this.mailForm(true, "name@address.com", "", "", "Message Subject
Description");
6 Click Set Action, and then click OK in the Field Properties dialog box.
Hiding a field until a condition is met
In more complex forms, you might want to have one field that is hidden, or inactive, until a
specific condition is met. For example, a field could be hidden, grayed out, or read only
until a dollar amount greater than a specified number is entered into another field.
In our example, a dollar amount greater than 100 must be entered in the ActiveValue field
to activate the GreaterThan field.The active field is called ActiveValue, and the inactive field
is called GreaterThan.
To activate a field when a condition is met in another field:
1 Select the form tool
fields" on page 145. Name the field ActiveValue.
