Before when I have made forms in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 I can "Extend Features in Acrobat Reader" in Acrobat 9 Pro and it will let people attach the actual form when hitting the "Submit" button, but now it only wants to submit the xml file. I have looked at other posts and can not find the step I am missing.
 
The same is happening in a form I made completely in Acrobat 9 Pro. I thought I could simply "Extend Features" and it gives me the same results of the xml file.
 
Please help in small words for a novice!
 
Thanks in advance!

Exactly how is the button configured? You can choose to send the data (e.g., using an "Email Submit Button"), or XDP, PDF, XML data, or HTTP POST data when using a button with that is set up with a Control Type of Submit.

I just used the "Email Submit Button" from the "Object Library" and put in the email I wanted it to go to.

That only submits the XML data. Use a normal button and select Submit for the control type (Object palette > Field tab), and then set up the other parameters on the Submit tab. See the LiveCycle Designer help doc for more information.
