Hi,
I have created a form and successfully sent it and had the entire form returned by email, from a client using Acrobat Standard on a PC. (Thanks for the answer to my original question below). I am having difficulty when a client on a PC using Reader 7 tries to send the entire form back to me. It just will not go. After reading in the help section of Acrobat, I'm thinking this won't work form Reader. Is this true? If so, do you have any suggestions on what I could do? The file is an order form I need clients to fill in and send the entire form back to me.
Thanks,
Tim Norton
  
Q: I have created an interactive pdf file that has check boxes and information boxes to fill in. I want distribute the form to me sales staff. Once they have completed the form, I need them to send it back to me. How do I set up the pdf file so they can click on my e-mail address on the form and A) The form will automatically attach to the email B) the email will automatically open there e-mail program with my email address in their 'To:" area.
I hope this makes sense.

A:Create a "Submit" button on the form with the URL of the button being your email address as a mailto URL.

Tim,
Add a button to your form that the users will click on. The Submit action of that button will be your Email.
