Hey all,
I am having some problems with an Email Submit button in Acrobat X Pro. I have a PDF full of text fields and my goal is to put it on a webpage and then have a "submit" button to send the completed PDF to an email address. I am completely frustrated at this point. I have been googling all afternoon, searching this forum, and reading anything and everything related to email submit buttons. Almost everything refers to an Acrobat 9 or earlier version, and it looks like there was a "Submit to Email" button? Sounds easy, but its a bit different in X.
So I have added a button at the end of my document, and within the properties of that button under the actions panel, I have an onMouseUp function to "submit a form"
My Submit Form Selections are
*Enter a URL for this link: "http://myemail [at] email [dot] com" also I tried earlier, "myemail [at] email [dot] com"
*PDF The complete document
Then when I try and click on the button, earlier today it was saying that it cannot find the server. Now it isn't even processing and giving me the error anymore. It is just stuck trying to do the action and then gives me a General Error. Im not sure if I am in the right area or what.
Anyone have any insight?
Thanks,
-Andrew

Hey Dimitri,
Thanks for the response. I guess what I am looking for is something that will not launch the mail client on someone's computer. That means I am looking towards the php mail() function, correct? That allows people to send off information without having to open their mail and add the document as an attachment?
Thanks,

You can't call php methods from within a PDF.

What you need to do is set up a PHP script on the web server that does the job of accepting the data from the PDF form POST and attaching it to an email message initiated by the web server. When you set up the submit button in Acrobat, simply specify the script. For example: http://www.example.com/PDF_Form_To_Email.php
