This.mailDoc without attaching the file

[heresha93876846]

Hello!

I was wondering, is there a way to use acrobats email function without attaching the file to the mail?

I just want to mail some information regarding the file not the file itself since it usually is very heavy files I work with.

But when I use this.mailDoc it automatically attaches the file.

There's a method called app.mailMsg which allows you to generate a normal email, without any PDF attachments, but it won't work in Reader.

Another option is to use the app.launchURL method (which does work in Reader) and use a "mailto:" command as its target URL.

That will cause an email to be generated, via the browser.

Is there somewhere where I can view all the different methods?`I have tje "Developing Acrobat Applications Using Javascript Booklet" but all the methods arent listed.

There's a good explanation of them here: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address

Also, you will need the Acrobat JavaScript API document - hundreds of pages listing all methods, properties, and key info like what works with Reader. This is part of the Acrobat SDK. I recommend you use the SDK for the version of Acrobat you own. DON'T just search for the Acrobat JavaScript API, the online document is for a very old version.
