Hi All,

Have, hopefully an easy question for the more experienced out there. Here is what I am trying to do...I have a form with fields and a submit button. I would like the submit button to rename the fdf, send it to email, enter the subject and the text of the email for the user and then close the original pdf document (without prompting to save...no save). So far I have the submit button sending the fdf to email but can't get very much further.

TIA!!!!
 
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you can't specify a name for the FDF using this method - also IIRC you don't have the mailDoc and mailForm methods available in reader - this means your users would have to have Acrobat full?

Steve,

The only thing I found, was that strangely enough in Reader 6.0 mailDoc is available for use but mailForm is not. So, that should get me by I guess, but thank you very much!
