You can "Submit" a PDF form field values as FDF, XFDF, XML, and HTML for Acrobat and XDP specifically for LiveCycle. When these files are opened in Adobe Reader except for XML format, the application loads the PDF with the form data.
Note: Adobe Reader users can not submit entire PDF (PDF Formats).
You can do one of two things. Submit to a mailto:you [at] domain [dot] com url or you can submit to a server-side script.The advantage of the server-side script is you can manipulate, store, email and save the data to a database, and it doesn't require client side email applications. You have full control over the data and the message. This may require 3rd party tools, or some programming knowledge.
But, if you send the PDF data as an attachment from within Adobe Reader, a client e-mail application is required.
