Thanks for your reply. I read thru the document and I did not see where I can  take a email addressed that was typed into a text field on the PDF document is used to email a copy of the PDF to that email address. Is this possible? If so, please expain how. If this not possible then please give examples.

I think the link to this article has changed to this:

Anyway, the article shows how to use a script to send an email. So if you know how to use a script to get a field value, then your question is answered. If not, then take note of this line from the script in the article.

var cCCAddr = this.getField("ClientEmail").value;

 It acquires the CC email address from a field named "ClientEmail".  So there you are. Just use the same technique to get the cToAddr, i.e. the main email address.

When I am on the button properties on the actions tab I am not able to insert the javascript code listed in the artical under Mouse Up. I can select an action (in this case I can select Submit a form) when a window pop's up where I can add the email address of where I want one of the emaill address that I am submitting to but I can only add one address and there is no where else on the button properties for me to add the javascript code.

Since the solution is for a script, you need to select the "Run a JavaScript" action.
