Hi,

I am searching for a java code to submit a form (by email) that works for Acrobat 9 down to Acrobat 6 and for Reader as well as for Pro.

The form was created using Acrobat 9 and I put together some code fragments already so it works for Version 6 to 8 (and for Acrobat Pro 9) - but unfortunately not for the Reader 9.

A downward compatible submission code should be a common issue especially if you do not use a server for submission. I am wondering if there is a standard solution somewhere?

The standard submitForm() method is backwards compatible down to version 3.01 and can be used from both Acrobat and Reader.

You are right if you just want to submit the form.
But I want to add a user defined body text and an individual subject (linked to a field in the prefilled form) so it wil be easy to refer the reply to the request.

Please excuse my incomplete question.

In that case, try using mailDoc. This method does have some security restrictions, however.
Check the reference for more info.

Thank you for your advice.
For MailDoc the mail program must be MAPI-enabled.
The form will be distributed to different groups of recipients and not all use MAPI for their e-mail. Therefore submitForm might be the best choice?
