Eugene Williams answered my question very quickly and I appreciate it very much, but I need clarification. Eugene said to right click the Submit button, click Properties, click the Action tab. Set the "Select Trigger" option to Mouse Up, set.... The follow-up question is "What Submit button"? I am in Adobe LiveCycle Designer where I am setting up my Afobe Form. The only Submit button is a Submit Email and there is no Properties when I right click it. Can you help me out Eugene?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

From the Library Pallet in the Standard section, drag a Button onto your form.

In the Object properties, click the Field tab, set the Type to Button, type in a caption (Submit).
Set the apperance & highlight as necessary.
Under Control Type, select Submit from the dropdownlist.

Next, click the Submit tab.
In the Submit to URL, type in the email address.

Select, from the Submit As dropdownlist: PDF

Save the form and test it before distribution.

Here is an easier answer while in Live Cycle:

Click on "Submit By Email" Button
Hit View on top menu
Select XML Source
Scroll down to find submit format="xml"
Change xml to pdf and save

Email will now have a pdf version of the form sent back to the form originator.
