I have a form that will go through three steps. First step a person will fill out some basic information, including their e-mail address, then e-mail the form to a supplier to fill out. Then the supplier will hit a submit button to e-mail it back to the e-mail in the field and it will be reviewed and finally sent on to a final e-mail via either manual or submit button.

I would like to have the submit button at the end of the supplier section send the .pdf back via a submit button taht would automatically use the e-mail in the the field.

I am using acrobat 9 standard and I am extending rights to reader which is what a variety of the end users (suppliers) will probably be using.

Can anybody help with if this is possible and the javascript needed to do so?
I've searched all over and am begining to think it's not possible even though I'd guess it should be.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.0, Windows

There are two JavaScript functions for sending the PDF via email, "doc.mailDoc()" and "doc.submitForm()". The target email for both can be easily acqired from a field on the form. This topic has come up many times and there are several posts on this forum about it, including some code. The best place to look them up is of course the Acrobat JavaScript Reference, and look at this article:

Thanks again.
