Melissa Stephen is right and that is the most efficient way as far as file size in concerned...The second way is to submit the whole PDF which depending on how big your form is can create large emails (sometimes 500kb or more)...Fortunately Acrobat 6 has better compression than previous versions... Also sending the complete PDF might require two much bandwidth for your clients to be sending through email...Various things can happen...Acrobat can stall as well as the email program when sending large attachments...Having said that if you still want to send the complete PDF this is how you do it.. 1) Add a "submit" button to your PDF 2) Set your button's "Mouse Down" action to submit form. 3) Type in the URL of your CGI script (If you do not have a script check out www.form-genie.com . They provide such a script that is available in PHP, ColdFusion and ASP. It sends the FDF like Stephen suggested) 4) Click "PDF - Complete document" as the Export format. Again I suggest sending the FDF through the internet (average file size is less than 5kb in most cases). =========================================== Eljon Greene FormGenie - eDocuments Simplified www.form-genie.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ============================================ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Melissa Thurber Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 2:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PDF-Forms] question - we need an entire form (completed by our clients online) to be submitted back to us from our Web site PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________ Hi Everyone ~ I'm trying (in vain so far) to post a form on our Web site that our clients can fill out and then return to us over the Internet. The problem I'm having is that we don't just want the data, we want to receive the entire form filled in with the client's information that we can print out. One person at Adobe said he thought this was possible with Acrobat 6.0 Professional, which we purchased, and referred me to the pdfzone Web site for how-to advice. Most of the research I've done seems to point to my needing a CGI script, which I don't know how to do. I've tried researching our ISP's Web site, but the sample form they provide for us to tailor to our needs results only in the data being e-mail to us. Help! My supervisor is already telling people this service is on our Web site.
