Emailing a PDF Form

Aug 31, 2012 12:38 PM

Categories: Macintosh Tags: #acrobat-form

I've added an "email form" button to the end of my PDF form. The action is working correctly. When the button is clicked my email program opens a new window with the form attached. My question is can I set it up so the recipient's address auto fills?

That's normally how it works. Exactly how did you set up the button? When you set up a button with a "Submit a form" action, you specify the recipient's email address in a mailto URL:

AH HA! Thank you. I'm new to this area of PDF forms. I was going under actions/execute a menu item/File>attach to email. Now I know. Appreciate the help. Thanks again!

You may want to change the submission to FDF in the screen that George shows. This submits the data that can be imported to the form and does not require Reader Activation for the user to submit the form in Reader.
