Hello there,

What i want to achieve is. I have created a button, which submits the the whole form as pdf doc. I want to change the name of the attachment in the e-mail to a text field which the user just filled before hit to submit button.

So can it be done, if yes how ?

Unfortunately, this is not possible from within the document. The attachment's name will always be determined by Adobe Acrobat (or the free Adobe Reader). If you have full control over the configuration of the computer, then you can save the document with the desired name to e.g. the temp folder, and then submit that now renamed document, but this requires that you install a script on every computer that will use this form.
