I am trying to create a form that users of Reader can use to fill out and then send back to me via e-mail using the "send via email" button.
However, the form is not sent as a PDF, but rather as an XML, which our server dumps as a potentially hazardous attachment.
How do I create a "send via email" button that sends the form as a PDF?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.1, Windows

We just figured this out today ourselves -

Basically instead of selecting the submit by email button, select just button.

You will then object field > control type and then select submit.Then go to object> submit tab and in the submit to url, instead of just entering an email address - insert the following; mailto:email [at] whatever [dot] etc.then below this still in the object>submit tab, select submit as - pdfhope this helps.
