Using a Button to Send an Email

Question

I'd like there to be a button on a form that says Send Email. I'd like for a user to click on the button to initiate an email to specific email address. I'd like to be able to customize the message that is sent to the specified email address.

I DO NOT WANT TO ATTACH THE FORM TO THE EMAIL

The form lives in SharePoint. It isn't necessary to attach the form data to an email and then email that attachment to the specified email address only to have that person then open the attachment, essentially a copy, of the form that already lives in SharePoint. They can simply visit the SharePoint location and view the form.

If I can click a button that says, Send Email, and an email is sent to the user stating the form is ready to view in SharePoint, that would be ideal.

Is this doable within Adobe Acrobat Pro?

No, you can't create a button that just send an email by itself, unless each user installs a special script file on their local machines, and even then they will have to approve it.

You can generate an email draft, though, which the user will then have to manually send out.

To do so you can use a script like this one:

app.launchURL("mailto:me@server.com?subject=Email subject line&body=Email message text");
