Hi,
This is how my scenario goes...
I have an interactive form, wherein I have a submit button that attaches the PDF form in a mail. The size of the form seems to increase drastically when it gets attached to the mail. Ratio is something like this 200KB - 1MB.
Please give me a suggestion on this

Regards,
Sathish M

This is a problem with LiveCycle Forms. Especially earlier versions. It has to do with the clash between PDF and XFA architectures. There's nothing you can do about it, except redo your form as a regular AcroForm.

Furture versions of Acrobat/PDF will address this problem better.
