sending a pdf (form) by email using JS

[cbswiss]

Good morning and a happy new year,

I hope to be in the right place here.
Right from the start: I am new to PDX Xchange /Viewer.

My problem is that I have built a form within Acrobat using some javascript to check fields and doing some calculations. Those work perfectly in my PDF XChange Viewer. However I also created a button that sends the PDF by E-Mail using the default mail client with a given subject and body text (generated from the form entries). This button works as expected in Adobe Reader but has NO function at all in PDF XChange Viewer.

Is that a common issue or is there a workaround? Does anyone have an idea how to get this done so that it works for both, Adobe Reader and XChange Viewer?


The code I used for the button is this:

var cToAddr = "xx@yy.de";
var cCCAddr = ""; //this.getField("ClientEmail").value;
var cBody = "blablabla.\n" + "blablabla.\n";

var Subject1 = this.getField("Datefield").value;
var Subject2 = this.getField("SomeNumber").value;
var Subject3 = this.getField("SomeString").value;
var Dat = "blabla: ";
var Kom = ", bla.: ";
var Bau = ", blabla: ";

this.mailDoc({
bUI: true,
cTo: cToAddr,
cCc: cCCAddr,
cSubject: Dat + Subject1 + Kom + Subject2 + Bau + Subject3,
cMsg: cBody
});


Thank you in advance for helping out.

Best regards
Stephan

In current build of V2.5 the function mailDoc is not implemented. Will implement in the next build.

thank you for that information. Can you predict a possible release date for that next release?

Is there possibly some workaround for the meantime?

I am afraid there is no work around and the next release is due before the end of this month if all goes to plan

thanks for your patience.
