Fillable forms and attaching as email

I am using Acrobat X, and have created a form that can be filled in online. I want the form to have a SUBMIT button that will simply email the entire filled in PDF form to a particular email address as an attachment. I have found how to add the submit button, and when clicked it will open an email to the specified address, however the PDF is not attached. I think there is just some setting I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only Acrobat Standard/Pro can submit entire PDF forms. If you need to submit Entire PDF forms with Reader, you need to extend Usage Rights to the form; or submit the form as XDP, XFDF, FDF, or XML data to a server side script, and merge the data with a blank form, and attach to an e-mail message, and send with an SMTP account.

To Enable Usage Rights in Reader:
Open the form in Acrobat, click file menu "Advanced", then "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader".
Note: The process may be different in AcrobatX, but, it can still be accomplished.

Acrobat X : File menu : Save as : Reader Extended PDF : Enable additional features…
