FDF emailing

[Linda_Ringie@adobeforums.com]

I have been reading everything in here about this but still need 1 question answered. I know that you cannot email back a form with Acrobat reader but I keep reading that it is possible to receive the data using an FDF file. From the "help", I found the following script to use under actions.

this.mailForm(true, "email@someplace.com", "", "", "Title");

This does not seem to work with the reader. Do you have to send the file to a url to receive data from the reader. Sorry if this has been answered.

It can work with Reader, but not very reliably. It requires various things to be just right on the client machine, such as e-mail client software, etc.

This is a much more reliable method. And now that Reader (6) can submit to a web server outside of a browser, it's even better. All you'll need is a script on the web server to handle the incoming FDF and attach it to an e-mail message. This ranges from easy to difficult, depending on the web server you're dealing with.
