I am trying to make a form that is sent by e-mail. My problem is that the e-mail address it needs to go to changes based on the information that has been input onto the form. Is it even possible to make a variable e-mail address for a PDF form?

Thanks!

You can approach the problem in several ways. You can add a script that chooses an email address based on certain criteria added to a field. Alternately, you could create an application response dialog box to manually fill in an email address each time the submit button is hit.

For specific scripting assistance, see the Acrobat JavaScript Scripting Reference.

Ted,
Can you elaborate on your solution. We all know how what we need to do, but how do you actually modify the email address in the mailto statement. Since the mailto statement is entered during design time, we need to know the property to change during runtime.

thanks,
Scott
