1. Re: Email Button format
George_Johnson Apr 3, 2012 12:25 PM (in response to garywpaul)1 person found this helpfulDid you create the form in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer? I ask because XML would be unusual for a form created in Acrobat, unless you mean XFDF. If you created the form in Acrobat and used a "Submit a form" type action, just go in and edit the button action (normally Mouse Up), and select PDF as the Export Format.

Thanks for your reply. It was created using LiveCycle. I was not really aware of the difference, I don't use this often. Will I be able to change it so it would email a PDF instead of an XML?
Thank you again.

3. Re: Email Button format
George_Johnson Apr 3, 2012 12:52 PM (in response to garywpaul)OK. Normally I'd send you over to the LiveCycle Designer forum, but it hasn't been working today. What you need to do is use a regular button, as opposed to an email submit button. Then open the Object palette for the button and select the Submit tab. There you'll see where you can enter a URL and select the "Submit As" format. Just choose PDF for the latter. For the URL, use a mailto type URL like:
mailto:someone@example.com
making sure to keep "mailto" in lower-case and don't include any spaces.

George_Johnson Apr 3, 2012 1:07 PM (in response to garywpaul)I forgot to add that if this needs to work with Reader, you'll need to Reader-enable the form. In Acrobat 9 you'd select "Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader", but the wording is different for Acrobat 8.
