Is it possible to have a button on the pdf that will SUBMIT the entire pdf file to the server or email it? I'm using asp.net & acrobat 7.0 professional. If so can you direct me, i'm a beginner.
Thanks.

Yes, you can do this. A good place to start is this article

Although you don't need JavaScript to submit the entire PDF, there is a built-in Action. Add a Form Field button to a PDF, then look over the properties in the Actions tab. You'll find submitting a PDF as an option.

Thom, I read the article and in theory it all sounds good but I still have some questions.
In the button under the properties, action I selected submit form, then on the url, what exactly do I use here? will this url be for storage only or does this url need to contain some code to read and save the pdf? if, so do you have an example? Thank you.
