I have a PDF document that has a mailto: link inside. When I click the link I am presented with an Outlook email to the recipient but I want to add the document as an attachment in the process.

Suggestions

Acrobat SDK and JavaScript

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately the mailto in the pdf is embedded using the tool that created the PDF (Crystal Reports) The challenge is piggy backing on the embedded mailto after it is created or picking up the email address from the doc after it is created.

Please explain the process. Is the PDF automatically generated and sent to a client? At what point do you have the opportunity to modify the PDF?

Did you create this PDF? If so, then did you setup the link, or is the email just text on the page.

If this is done using a script you need to use the mailDoc or submitForm commands.

Alternatively, you can use the built-in Submit Form command and set it to submit the complete PDF file.
