Hello friends! today we’ll learning how to send custom email from fillable pdf. This is something different from the usual we learn.

Recently I got one requirement to create fillable pdf and add a button to send the filled contents of the pdf as an email body. I’ll be using Soda PDF to achieve that.

Step 1 – Create a fillable pdf

Create the fillable pdf with the fields you want to get information on and name the fields as needed ( as shown in image below).

Step 2 – Add buttons and actions

Add a button from the menu and edit the action ( as shown in image below)

Step 3 – Add java script code to achieve the custom email

Add the JavaScript code by clicking the 3 dots and selecting the JavaScript option.

Step 4 – Java script Code

Add the following JavaScript code and done. The fields values are stored in individual variables.

// To
var customEmail = this.getField("toEmail").value;
// cc
var ccEmail = this.getField("ccEmail").value;
// bcc
var bccEmail = this.getField("bccEmail").value;
// Subject
var customSubject = this.getField("Name").value;
// Body

var Name = this.getField("Name").value;
var Email = this.getField("Email").value;
var Address = this.getField("Address").value;
var Parts = this.getField("Parts").value;
var Phone1 = this.getField("Phone1").value;
var Phone2 = this.getField("Phone2").value;
var Call = this.getField("Call").value;
var Text = this.getField("Text").value;

// Creating Body

var body = "Name: " + Name + " Phone1: " + Phone1 + "\n" +
"Email: " + Email + " Phone2: " + Phone2 + "\n" +
"Address: " + Address + " Call: " + Call + " Text: " + Text +
"\n" +
"Parts Recived: " + Parts + "\n" ;

// Send email
this.mailDoc(true, customEmail, ccEmail , bccEmail , customSubject, body);
