Years late, I know. But I'll post this for others
like me who founds this thread while googling for an anwser.
What I finaly did:
Found the line:
<submit format="xml" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:"/>
changed it to:
<submit format="pdf" textEncoding="UTF-8" target="mailto:"/>
resaved document, and it worked.

I'm not sure what you meant by "Found the line:". I assume it's a line of code you can reveal in the PDF somewhere.I'd be interested if you could explain how or where you found this line and if changing it is a solution that would work for people without an Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server.
I'm not an experienced user, but have found that I can simply import the data sent to me in .xml format into an original copy of my PDF form. To do this I used the Forms>Manage Form Data> Import Data options from the menu and imported the .xml file I recieved from a user of my PDF form into an original copy of the PDF form and saved it.
While not really answering the question of how to send a filled in form via email in PDF format, it is a workaround that has met my needs without having the knowlege of how to find the 'line' you're referring to or how to set up an Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server to make this possible for users who only have Reader and not full Acrobat.
In fact, it was such a relief to find this alternative method that I thought I'd create an account and share it with anyone else looking for a similar solution, quickly.
I need the submit button to send me the email without the client side email program poping up. I want it to work like a form submit buttom only I want the pdf file sent to my email. The mailto: option calls the email client. Is their a server side script or way to do this I'm using acrbat 9 pro.
You would use the submitForm() method, and there you have the option to send it as PDF.
Then you would have to set up your server to either send you a notification mail that you can download the received PDF, or have it sending you the PDF.
For those server-side scripts, you'd have to dig around a bit.
HTH.
