Send email button in Interactive PDF

Question

Have several problems with interactive Indesign forms and hope the community can help (as Adobe chat can't). Firstly, I would need a button "send formular (via email)" - can be integrated, but does not work. It would be important to have this in the form as some of the interactive fields are compulsory, which is only checked when the form is send via the button. Moreover, I would like to change the design of checkboxes in Indesign, not later in Acrobat, as I want the forms after a rework to be ready made in Indesign and not to need being reworked in Acrobat. Next problem,  there is no possibility for a button in Indesign to save the form. This can only be done in Acrobat, which is odd......

Your question had nothing to do with the topic you posted it in. In the future please do not hijack existing discussions as it confuses everyone and makes it harder to find answers. I've branched it off as a new discussion for you.

Quite honestly, what is the purpose of the send via email button? It's quite archaic and as you've already discovered very unreliable as it would only work in Acrobat/Reader and IIRC, requires the user to have their preferences set up properly. You're far better off putting a proper form on your website or using Google Forms.

If you really insist on some of this, look at Form Magic: FormMagic – Id-Extras.com
