email from submit button without opening a client

Question

My website opens my fillable PDF form. When completed the submit button is set to email all the fields to the website email. When the submit button is clicked a window opens asking for an email client to open.

I do not want the client to see this. It should just send the email directly.

How do I set up to avoid this situation?

You can't do it unless a script is installed on the users' local machines.

The alternative is not to use email, but to submit the form (or the form's data) to a web-server, and then process it there.

That's the only way of doing it without any user interaction at all.
