Question

How to have a fill-in form saved and emailed back to me?

I have a 'booklet' and order form together in one PDF, with the order form being the last page.

It is a fill-in form with calculations - and we need it saved and returned back to us via email.

Most of the people will only have Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) on a Mac (El Capitan) to view the file.

I cannot find out how to do this?

I've been trying to save it and email as a test - but cannot figure out an EASY method for people to just press a button for it to save and send back via email to us.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (trial/paid).

Your help is appreciated!!!

Add a button field, and set its MouseUp action to Submit Form.

Then as the target URL enter this:

mailto:me@server.com

(use your own email address, of course)

Select whether you want to receive the whole file or just the form data (ie, an FDF file), and you're done, pretty much.

    One More Thing....

    Is there a way to have them SAVE AS and add their last name to the file name before sending via email??

    You can ask them to do it, but enforcing it is more difficult... It's only possible if the last name is in a form field so you can know what the name of the file should be before it is submitted. If it's not what it needs to be then you don't proceed with the code to submit it.
