I have created a form that I have placed on my server. I can fill it out but when I hit the button to submit form to the email address I have assigned it does nothing. I would of thought it would open an email ap and attach the info but nothing.
I feel like I am doing everything right but maybe I'm missing something. Can someone walk me through the complete process. Here is my goal...

Create pdf form and host on web site. Form would have submit button that allows user to send all form data to my email once it is filled out.

Acrobat Pro 9.0, Macintosh

Before adding the email button to the form, test out Acrobat's ability on your system to send an email. Open up a PDF document and select the "File > Attach to email..." menu item.If this works then open the form on your local system, the one you created, not the one posted to the server. Check the address you placed in the button action. I'm assuming that you used the "Submit Form" action with an email url of the form "mailto:me [at] mine [dot] com". Make sure there are no spaces or inappropiate characters in it.Thom Parker
