Question

Acrobat action to send multiple PDF attachments to one email recipient.

I created 3 fillable PDFs in Acrobat XI Pro and need them sent as attachments in one email. I want to add an action to do this each time these 3 forms are filled out.

Attach all 3 PDFs to one email recipient. Or, if there is a way to break up 1 PDF form into 3 separate PDF attachments.

My client has this set up on his Joomla website and it works great. I haven't been able to see how it's been done.

It's not possible to attach multiple files to one email using JavaScript in a PDF. Nor is it possible to split a file into multiple files, unless that file is opened in Adobe Acrobat.

Thank you for your reply. The PDFs can be opened in Adobe Acrobat. The way it's set up now is each time one form is filled out and the submit button is clicked it opens the next sequential form. At the end of the 3rd page, it saves the form in website backend and sends one email with 3 separate PDF attachments.

I am trying to do this without integrating with the website. I can host the forms there, with URL links, for access.

Do you mean that you want to attach each file to an email, or all three? Only the former is possible if you're doing it using a button.
