Hello,

I have make a form with Adobe Pro XI. (The form is saved as a Reader extended pdf)  The users must fill in this form and at the end they must sign it with a digital signature.

Because the user must send this form by e-mail, I have make a button (with the following options):

Mouse Down: => Show/hide a field (I have selected (hide) the button field). 

Mouse Up: => Submit a form  (to a standard email address, with standard sublect).

Now my problem

if I click on the button, the button removes (is not visible anymore) and outlook make a new e-mail message and placed the pdf form in the attachment of the  e-mail. This is exactly what I want, but after I have send the mail and open de pdf, the button is visible again

Is there a solution that the button will remove (not shown) after use?  The users will use adobe reader.  I think it's only possible with a javascript. But I don't know how to write the script. Is there anybody that can help me with that?

Kind regards,

Jarno

I don't think the issue is now how you do it, but the fact that the file

must be saved before it is submitted. If it's not, the latest changes to it

are not a part of the sent copy.

Hello MVO,

Thanks for your response.

Is it possible to add a save option, after the option: Mouse Down: => Show/hide a field (I have selected (hide) the button field)?

Yes. You can execute the menu item File - Save (or Save As)...
