Hi
I am a new Adobe user and hope you can help me with my issue. Basically I have created form in Adobe and went through distribution by email wizard. I would like however change the email all forms are sent to/from to general company's email rather than my personal. How can I do it/ change email settings?
Also as I am still testing the product can you tell me how can I cancel/remove distribution wizard and reinstate just the original form that I can attach and send via most basic way?
Many thanks in advance. .

Thank you, I am using Adobe X Standard. Also can you advise whether forms can be collected by setting up central email all forms are to be sent from/ returned to?

Sure. You can either instruct users where to email the form after they complete and save it or set up a button on the form that "submits" to an email address. In the Mouse Up event of the button, select an action of "Submit a form". For the URL, specify a mailto URL that looks like:
mailto:someone [at] example [dot] com (no spaces, and "mailto" needs to be all lower case)and select "PDF The complete document" as the export format.
Be sure to Reader-enable the document before sending it out.
When the user clicks the button, the PDF will get attached to a new email message to the recipient you specified, or the user will be able to save the file and then manually attach the document to an email. This latter option is for folks who use a web-based email system such as gmail.

Hi George
I am delighted with your quick response. I have tried the method you've mentioned and it works great. I've read that there is a limit of 500 saved file?? Is that true? And if so can you advise me whether I could email fillable forms to unlimited number of people and get them to submit to my email only without saving?
I try to find out how I could put pdf form online and get clients to fill the form out and return to our central email address but without using distribution option?
Also is it possible to add button to pdf whereby a client could upload id documents as well?
Sorry to bombarding you with my questions. I hope you can help me...
Best regards

If you want to avoid the distribute process, just Reader-enable the form and email it to the recipients. You can collect the responses and extract the data to a data file.
What version of Acrobat are you using?
