Creating a Interactive PDF fill-in form from Indesign that attaches its self to an email

Can anyone help me please I've created a InDesign CC 2019 document that's a form for people to fill in - created from OBJECT / INTERACTIVE / Convert to Text Field. Then having a Submit Form Button (click on area) which I've hyperlinked to an email address, export out as an Adobe PDF (Interactive). All works fine apart from the pdf is not attached to the email. Am I missing something off - that's not clicked in the hyperlink or exporting bit?

    InDesign can do some of the basics of creating form fields but it doesn't have the capability to distribute forms. You can use Acrobat for doing this with the Prepare Form tool.

    I'm sending a form to myself using the Distribute command in the Prepare Form tool in Acrobat Pro DC:
