Hello everyone,

I would really appreciate your help, I was looking to send a PDF file in two formats (PDF and XML) via email (using such as "Submit a form" action) , but I want both files to be automatically renamed based on a specific form field within the document before sending.

Is there a way to achieve this in Adobe Acrobat Pro?
Thanks a lot

Not in Acrobat.  The correct way to do this is to submit the PDF to a server script that renames the files based on submitted query data and emails it. This is the only way to make this functionality avaliaible to the form, and it has the added benefit that it will work across many different PDF viewers, although not all, because not all support all data submission options, or data submission at all.
