Can I attach PDF and email to 2 recipients in a single action?

I would like to create a "link" in my PDF that will attach the file to an email as well as insert multiple email addresses into the "To:" field. I can only figure out how to accomplish this as two separate actions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am working on a Mac in Acrobat 8.1.1 Professional. Thank you!

Email addresses are separated by a semi-colon. You can place as many as you like together.

How are you attaching the PDF to an email from a document button? If you're using the "Submit Form" action you'll need to Reader Enable the form before distributing it.

Thank you, Thom! I was using the file>attach to email instead of submit form. I didn't realize that the PDF could be attached this way - I thought it was just for submitting form field information.

It is just for submitting info, but since it also attaches a PDF it can be used in this way as well. The problem with the menu item is that you can't specify the email addresses.
