submit by email does not automatically send

Acrobat hands off the email to the users email program. That's all it does. What the email program does after that point depends on how the user set it up. Acrobat has no control beyond this point.

This is not correct thomp.

I have a Windows XP SP3 workstation with Microsoft Office 2007 Professional SP2. Acrobat 8.1.4 Professional.

User opens PDF form, fills out and clicks submit button. Email is generated, PDF is attached and the email is sent with no additional user interaction. Click the button 5 times and it sends 5 emails.

We WANT it to not send the email so that other people can be CC'd on the email.

Only setting I have found is under EDIT>PREFERENCES>DOCUMENTS>Examine Document>Checked "Examine DOcument when sending by email.", but did not change anything.Since you claim that this is a Outlook setting, where is it?

Check out PDFEmail.Net.If you have access to a Microsoft .net web server, PDFEmail.net sounds like the best solution for you.

PDFEmail.net would create the ASP.net scripts and libraries you upload to your webserver.
Point the Submit Button to the URL
PDFEmail.net sends the PDF, or FDF, XFDF, XML data to the recipients without client e-mail software.
Message to user, or redirect to URL with message.

dhawkins,
It sends the email out silently because you have outlook setup to send automatically, and Acrobat trusts the document for some reason. If the document is not specifically setup to the trusted, Acrobat is supposed to display the email UI to the user.
