I have pro 8.

I have made a form and enabled usage rights in adobe reader. A submit button was made to be able to send the form via e-mail. A valid email address was enter ed in the "enter a url for this link" field on the submit form selection dialog box and "mailto:" preceded the address.

When I hit the submit button my e-mail application shows up and I am able to send the message. I do receive the message alright. However there is no .pdf file with the message. The message is blank. What is wrong?

Do I have to attach the file I wish to send? The instructions say nothing of the sort. Do I have to save the file first? Again the instructions say nothing of the sort.

On a side note and a weird thing in itself. I sent a .pdf with the submit button three days ago expecting the .pdf to be with the message. Nothing happened immediately. Then as I sat here writing this very message my IM pops up and says I have a new email message. It was the .pdf I submitted three days ago!!! And on top of that the message had the .pdf file attached to it. How did that happen then but won't happen with a different file?
