I need help with the proper javascript for a multi-page form where only page 1 of 3 pages needs to be submitted by email when the user clicks on the email button I added at the bottom of page 1.  Right now it creates & emails a .pdf containing all 3 pages when the user clicks on the email button.  Page 1 is the form itself [to be completed & digitally signed by the user] and pages 2 & 3 are just informational & I don't need or want page 2 & 3 to be part of the emailed .pdf.  I know absolutely nothing about javascript so I'll take whatever help I can get.

I don't know how to attach/insert the .pdf file to this message for you to review it.

Assuming this file is going to be used in Adobe Reader, it's not possible.

Instead, you can have the button submit just the form data (an FDF file) and then import it to a file that contains just the first page (the form itself) on your end. However, if you do that it will not include the digital signature.

We try to help if we can, do you have a specific question? Take a moment to review what we've said you can't do at all, though!

Even if you could delete pages and send the file this would destroy the digital signature. Signatures apply to the whole file; you can't remove or change any of it, even if you know it's unimportant.

    Thank you for your help.  I can definitely use all the help I can get as I learn how to properly utilize Adobe Acrobat DC.
