Submit Button Action

New Here ,
Aug 31, 2017 Aug 31, 2017

I have an editable .pdf form that has a Submit button with a Java script running to send the completed form to a specific email address in our company.  I need to change the email address to another.  I have changed the script to the appropriate email address but that does not change the function on the form, it still submits the old form name to the old address.  It is possible that the script is not running, but where else would it be getting its direction from?  I am unable to see where else this data should be changed.  Please HELP!

That's strange... Is the "Run a JavaScript" command the only one associated with the field?

Yes, as far as I can see.

Can you share the file in question with us (via Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe Cloud, etc.)?

Here is the Java script that was created for this document.  Unfortunately, I am not the creator and I only know enough about code to find and replace items but not really read it nor write it.  

The original email address said Gina@#####.com  and I changed it to jobs@####.com and I changed Submitting Completed Form to Submitting Completed Application.

//@@SUBMITURL "mailto:jobs@#####.com?subject=Submitting Completed Application&body=Instructions to add this form to a responses file:\n1. Double-click the attachment.\n2. Acrobat will prompt you to select a responses file.&ui=false"

var METADATA_ANNOT_NAME     = "adhocFormState";

var PROP_RESPONDENT_NAME    = "respondentName";

var PROP_RESPONDENT_EMAIL   = "respondentEmail";

var currentDoc;

if (typeof(xfa) == "object")

    currentDoc = event.target;

    currentDoc = this;

Yes, it didn't make sense to me, hence the plea for help!

Thank you for trying anyway.
