Hi,
Art
To the
best of my knowledge, Reader will not allow submission through email unless the
PDF is Reader eXtended (RX) using Adobe Document Server for Reader eXtensions
($$$$$). I was looking into this a while ago and the best I could learn is
that Reader will submit data to a server, but not to the PDF for emailing (or
local saving). I think you'd have to separate the data into an FDF file
and then re-combine the PDF and the FDF at your student's end (usually using a
server...).
I'm
also assuming you're using full Acrobat - which does allow saving of filled form
fields inside a PDF. Your best bet is probably to populate the form at
your end with Acrobat, save it, and send it to your student. Your student,
however, will not be able to save any changes he/she has made if they're only
using Reader.

-----Original Message-----I want to email a pdf form to student which has been pre-filled with data from an Access database. I have no problem populating the form or sending it. I clicks on a button labelled "Submit" using "mouse up" as the trigger where the action is "submit a form" and the URL is set as: "mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and I've chosen to send the entire document as an option. I simply replace my address with the Student's email address, press send and away it goes!

Subject: [PDF-Forms] EMAIL from the Reader
My problem is that the "Submit" button I've embedded in the pdf will not execute using the Acrobat Reader.
Any solutions out there?
Thanks, Art Farrell
