How can I send an online pdf by email (complete form)

Hi experts,

prior to acrobat X and windows7 it was possible to add a submit button enable additional rights for adobe reader and the form would be attached to an email and sent to the recipient.

This doesn't seem to work in windows7 environments any more.

I have followed all tutorials and tips but nothing seem to work

I have tried to use javascript instead according to the following maildoc tutorial

http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?...

Even if I use the simple example in the tutorial

this.mailDoc(true);

this.mailDoc({

        bUI: false,

         cTo: "myemail@gmail.com",

         cSubject: "The Latest News",

         cMsg: "A.P., attached is my latest news story in PDF."

    });

it won't work.

I have tried thunderbird and live email as default clients, the result is the same:

In chrome => an empty email opens

in firefox => the attachment is included but no email recipient or subject line

in internet explorer => same, attachment is included but no emeil recipient or subject line

In the preferences I have enabled menu items Javascript execution privileges just in case this was an issue but to no avail.

Isn't sending a complete form by email an option anymore?

I need this feature.

Thanks in advance for any helpl.

Has the form had "Extended Reader Rights" applied to the PDF form?

What product and version are the others using?

Advise the users not to use Apple's "Preview" program. The returned forms will look empty, but data will appear in a field if tab into the field.

What email system are they using?

Yes they have the rights extended. Not sure on which application they are using. I have just sent to my IT guy. Hopefully we can solve it from here. Thanks for the response.
