Hi, 

I have a maintenance form setup in acrobat which has fillable fields, how do I setup the form, so that when someone fills out the form, they have an email button where the form will get emailed as and attachment to a set email address.

Hi maddog_chrisuk,

Would like to inform that you set a submit button in the form, so that user can fill the form & on submitting the form, will come to the email address associated to that submit button.

Please refer to this KB article :- Setting action buttons in PDF forms, Adobe Acrobat

Let me know if it works.

Regards,

Yatharth

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply, yes it kind of worked, the only downside is that the user has so much to do before the form gets emailed.  Is there not an easier solution for the user, where they can just click the submit button, and it gets emailed to the mailto address, without having to sign in to there email or entering there settings etc.

Regards

Chris

To achieve that you should not use email to submit the form but a web-based

service (for example, written in PHP) to which you submit the form data and

the service saves it to a folder. This will require almost no user

interaction, but it's more complex to set up on your end.
