I have the following script on a submit button in a form I created with Acrobat Forms 8.

this.submitForm("mailto:recipient,,?"
+ "&subject=Approval Request"
);

The script works fine except that the digital signature clears by the time it gets to the recipient. Is there a way to specify, using javascript, that I want it to send the entire PDF and not an FDF?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.1.2, Windows

Try using the mailForm method.

this.mailForm(false, "name@emailaddress", "", "", "Put the subject line here", "Put the message here");

This should attach the PDF file to the email.

No, use "this.mailDoc()"

"this.mailForm()" will attach the FDF, as documented in the Adobe JS API. mailDoc is documented to mail the current PDF document (saved version) to all recipients.

My mistake. You are right. If I am not mistaken I believe all of the same parameters work with mailDoc() as with mailForm().

That would be correct.

Any luck, kbedward?
