This is possible and requires 2 steps:

  1. You have to create a fillable PDF, which includes an "Sent to" button. How to do this, is described for example here: https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/setting-action-buttons-pdf-forms.html
  2. In Muse, use the command "File/Add Files for upload" to choose your PDF; place an element of your choice and use the "Hyperlinks" command in the upper control strip to assign the PDF file.

Thank you for the tip.  It was very helpful.  I did manage to get the PDF hyperlinked, but I can't get my submit form button to actually submit to my email from the PDF in my browser.  I have set everything up correctly and directed it to my email inside of Acrobat DC.  :The button works inside DC when I preview it, but it won't work inside the browser when I access the PDF via the hyperlink

Is the PDF opened by the Acrobat browser plugin?

If the "Send" button is not working, there is no other way for the user, than saving the PDF and send it via Acrobat.

Since this is not a Muse issue, I’d recommend to ask in the Acrobat forum, why this doesn’t work.
