i am a graphic designer with little scripting experience. i want to put a fillable pdf form on a website. i know how to create the form. however, i do not know how to put it on the web. i need it to function like this.

1 customer fills out the form
2 customer clicks a submit button
3 form is sent to an email account with all the customer's info included

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
...would the 'submit a form' (PDF = complete document) in the button actions suffice?

...in the URL field you would need to enter a 'mailto:' command:

mailto:someone@somebody.com

==============================================

...to add subject line automatically:

mailto:someone@somebody.com?subject=some custom text

==============================================

...to CC somebody automatically:

mailto:someone@somebody.com?cc=another@another.com

==============================================

...to blind copy somebody automatically:

mailto:someone@somebody.com?bcc=another@another.com

==============================================

...to add text to actual body message automatically:

mailto:someone@somebody.com?body=I am having trouble finding information on

==============================================

...to add multi line text to actual body message automatically:

mailto:someone@somebody.com?body=TYPE FIRST PARAGRAPH.%0A%0ATYPE SECOND PARAGRAPH.%0A%0ATYPE THIRD PARAGRAPH.

NOTE: Use "%0A" for a new line, use "%0A%0A" for a new line preceded by a blank line.

==============================================

...to use Subject, a Recipient, a Copy and a Blind Copy automatically:

mailto:someone@somebody.com?subject=some custom text&cc=another@another.com&bcc=jbloggs@jbloggs.com

==============================================

...of course there are other export format options to try, like HTML, only certain fields...

YESSSS! that is exactly what i need to know. you have fixed my problem. thank you so much!
 
Is it possible to do this so it just sends like a form? I.e, wont go through the users email client?
