Sending specific Form fields to different recipients with JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC

Question

Hello AS Community,

as described in the subject I currently have the following issue:

I want to send the information of specific form fields (e.g. name, last name) to email address A

I want to send the information of other form fields (address, country) to email address B

All of that should happen automatically after hitting the created "Submit form" button.

It would be great if the email gets sent automatically (not only opening the email draft)

Thanks in advance!

this.submitForm({cURL: "mailto:jerry@company.com", aFields:["A","B","C"], cSubmitAs:"XML", cCharSet:"utf-8", });
this.submitForm({cURL: "mailto:larry@company.com", aFields:["D","E","F"], cSubmitAs:"XML", cCharSet:"utf-8", });

This script sends two emails. One to Jerry with an XML attachment containing fields A, B, and C. And one to Larry, who gets an email with an XML attachment containing fields D, E, and F

You can do this with a script using the "doc.submitForm()" function.
here's the reference entry:

use the "aFields" argument to set the fields.

Here's an article on using the "submitForm()" function.
