SENDING PDF FORM BY EMAIL

I have created a form using LCD and Acrobat 8 Pro. I want the form to be distributed by email once filled in and saved in Acrobat Reader by company users. However, when I add a 'submit by email' button it always send the form as an XML file rather than as a PDF. This is no use as the recipient can't use XML. Is there any way to have an email button that automatically sends the PDF as a PDF?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Enable the PDF with Adobe Reader usage rights (in Acrobat 8 Pro) and send the entire PDF document to the recipient.

Hi Ted,

Thanks for that - I greatly appreciate you guys taking time to assist us.

I tried it out (using another pc and email address) but as soon as I clicked the 'submit by email' button again it attached the file to a new email as a .xml. Maybe I should just delete the button and let them attach the forms manually.

Regards,

Neil
