Adobe livecycle help - submit form results as a pdf not a xml file

Hi all,

I am creating a form in Adobe Livecycle and I wish to have a way for it to email the completed pdf, rather than an xml object containing the data.

Is there anyway we can do this?

Thanks,

Xavier.

Hi good day,
when you design a pdf formwhich needs to be submitted by email, the default behavior is to submitthe xml data of the form as an xml attachment of the email.
But it so happens a lot of users would like to getthe whole,complete pdf in the email. There are two ways to accomplishthis - one way is to use livecycle server to ReaderExtend the form, oryou can use acrobat to Apply Usage Rights to the form. If you do nothave livecycle server but have Acrobat then you can follow the stepsmentioned below achieve your goal

Open the LiveCycle Form Designer
Create your form
Then drag a button on to the form
select the button, then go to its object pallete, in the Field Tabmake sure the control type is Submit.Then go the submit tab, makesure the submit drop down list is PDF, in the submit to url text boxtype in mailto:
save the from as PDF
Then open the form in Acrobat
Under Advanced menu there is a option called Enable Usage Rights in Reader. Select this option then it asks to save your form.Save the form.
This form can now be emailed when the user clicks the submit button

Regards
