Adobe Reader E-Mail Submit Part II

My earlier post on submitting form data via E-mail from Reader generated quite a few comments. I thought I would follow up with more details on how to make the process work.

1) Don’t use JavaScript. Reader won’t accept the very common e-mail JavaScript you have probably seen.

2) Do use html. Reader will recognize the html command “mailto:” as in “mailto:youremail@youraddress.com.” See the button on the left in my example.

This screen shot shows the basic setup.

To add a subject line, cc:, or bcc: see this Adobe TechNote.

3) Do not choose “PDF The Complete Document” in Export Options. Reader can only submit data from PDF forms unless the form has additional rights. If you choose “PDF The Complete Document” Reader assumes you are breaking the rules and will refuse to e-mail the document.

I’d stick with FDF as the data export format unless you have a specific reason for using another format.
