Can I use the submit button to have a form sent to me and then from me to someone else?

Question

I have created a fillable PDF form that will be sent to my email address using the submit button. But then I only want to review the form before sending it to a colleague using the same submit button, in which case the form would only have passed through me. How do I do that

It's possible in some way but not really convident. You would have to add a flag into you form, which indicates which recipient to use. You propably can take a hidden field for this. Use a script for checking and changing its value right before sending the form. Say initially it's 0. Then use your email address, change it to 1 and submit the form. So far so good. Next time you press the send button it's 1, so you can use another email address. BUT, this has a huge pitfall. You can't verify if the form has been successfully sent. There's no feedback from you mail app into the form. So if sending failed for some reason your form doesn't know about and the flag might have the wrong value then.
