Hello,

 

I know how to create a submit button on a form with a specific email address but do not know how I could create a button that would ask the user to which address or email they would like the form to be sent to.

 

Any helps is appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Luke

That requires scripting.  Which means this PDF feature will only operate properly on PDF viewers that implement the required JavaScript functionality. Mostly just Acrobat Pro and Reader. Make sure your users know this.

 

Here's an article that covers the topic:

Do you want them to select an address from a list? If not, just leave that field empty and they'll be able to fill it in their email client...
