Removing "- Adobe Acrobat Professional" from the subject line

I am a new user to Acrobat Professional 8.1. I consistently use the "attach to email" function under the file tab to email PDFs to my coworkers. Every time I attach a PDF to the email, the subject line will list the saved title of the PDF with the text "- Adobe Acrobat Professional" immediately following. How can I make this stop? Presently, I have to manually delete this every time I send a PDF attachment. Thx.

Try these suggestion:

Emailing a PDF
From a button or a JavaScript assigned to another action you can attach the open PDF document to an email message. On a button field, add the following script without the line numbers.

1. // use mailDoc in this routine
2. this.mailDoc(true, "yourname [at] address [dot] com","cc goes here", "bcc goes here","Subject goes here");+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Emailing Form Data

From a button or a JavaScript assigned to another action you can attach just the form data from the open document to an email message. On a button field, add the following script:

1. // use mailForm in this routine
2. // gets the user address from a field
3. var f = this.getField("useraddress");
4. this.mailForm(true, f.value, "", "","Subject");

The above script attaches an FDF form data file to an email message. Line 3 picks up an email address from the form that the PDF author added to a text field and uses that address for the To field in a new email message.

Note that if you want to reference fields on a page that have been filled in by you and you don't want them to be visible to the end user, you can fill in a field and hide the field. Open the General tab in the field properties dialog box and choose Hidden from the Form Field drop down menu. JavaScript will pick up the field data even when the field is hidden.
