I've created a form using Acrobat forms. The form contains a button with a submit form action which is supposed to send the entire PDF via email. When you press the button from within Acrobat Reader 7, you are prompted to select the mail client. If you choose desktop client, the TO field is populated with with standard text from Adobe. Submitting the form with Acrobat Pro 8 appears to work fine. How can this text be removed and how can I stop it from prompting for a mail client?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

You can't stop it from promting for the email client. That's a feature. It gives the user a choice.

But you do have control over what appears in To: CC: and other fields. Read this artical. It explains how to build an URL for email. The article is on using the JS submit, but the URL format is the same for the submit action on a button.
