I'm using Acrobat Pro Ext 9 to create forms, and using Distribute Form to set up default e-mail address, etc. However I'm not getting the option to change the subject of the e-mail when users send back completed forms. Just the default 'Submitted Completed Form' is entered every time. Please advise. Thanks.
Changing Subject line when sending completed form

Hi Merlin, thanks for the quick response. I did what you said for the URL on the Submit form button I added to the form, and it worked when I did a Preview. However when you distribute the file - and you have to - the default subject (Sumbitting Completed Form) overrides that URL. Any other ideas?? Thanks again.

Submit the file using a JavaScript command (mailDoc), instead of the built-in Submit File action.

Thanks try67; Where's some quick reference to the mailDoc command? E.g., for e-mailing the PDF attachment, with the customised Subject, e-mail form to multiple addresses, etc. If I 'Distribute' the form for filling-in with Adobe Reader, is the mailDoc command 'overridden'? Thanks again.

Very impressive example, Merlin, although I would probably hard code the e-mail address as well as the subject; however, when I 'distributed' your sample so it could be filled out with Adobe Reader, Adobe Reader (version X) crashed when I opened the distributed version. Any ideas? Thanks again.

Very impressive example, Merlin
This sample was provided on the Acrobat 5 CD-Rom…;-)
Adobe Reader (version X) crashed when I opened the distributed version. Any ideas?
Try to save as and/or optimize the PDF.

That worked, although it tool a while for Reader to open the distributed file; thanks.
you must write the URL like that:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=This is my custom subject line
