We are currently trying to use Acrobat Pro for customer data gathering.
We have been experimenting with forms and have found one problem we can’t work out.
We want to be able to email a customer a form, for them to fill it in and email back to us. We want to receive/view it as a pdf so we can save, print it and use it.
We are finding that when we use the email buttons provided in Acrobat Pro, an xml doc is created and attached to an email which they then send us, and we can’t read this.
We really need to just be able to get the form back from a client as be able to view it as a pdf.
How do we do this?
Thnks!
My Product Information:

You need to change the property for the Submit button.
Right click the Submit button to open the button properties. Click the Action tab, select Mouse Up, select Submit a form, enter the URL and check the box titled - PDF The complete document.

Thanks. Got that. I have properties changed to PDF from XML now
We want the completed form to be emailed to us - ie to an email address. I dont have a URL address to put in there as this form is not hosted with our website. How do I change that?

I'll send you two Javascripts that you can try on the submit button. Please send your contact email address to pdfdesign@msn.com. I'm copying this entire question for reference.

Click this link http://wl.filegenie.com/~pdfmaker/emailPDF.pdf
Open the PDF and examine the Javascript code in the Submit button. Modify the codes with the email addresses you want.
There's also a neat mouse over Help button on the second page you may want to consider adding.
