Attach pdf to email and use text from field in body

I'm looking to create a fillable form with a 'submit' button at the bottom. Upon clicking the submit button, I would like an e-mail window to open with a pre-defined recipient, and the pdf attached. I've found code to accomplish this using this.mailDoc()

However:

I'm also hoping to get the text from the "Name" field of my form and use it in the body of the e-mail.

I've found the following code in another post, which appears to work for this:

var cClientName = this.getField("ClientName").value;

var cAddress = this.getField("Address").value;

var cBody = "Client Information:\n\n";

cBody += "Client Name: " + cClientName + "\n";

cBody += "Address: " + cAddress + "\n";

var myURL = "mailto:email@company.com?subject=Client Info&body=";

myURL += cBody;

app.launchURL(myURL, true);

That will open an e-mail window with a body containing the data from AcroForm fields named "ClientName" and "Address".

The problem is, that this code will not attach the pdf.

How can I get the best of both worlds?

Thanks!
