sending PDF and not XML

[Former Community Member]

Hello,



I am trying to send a PDF and not XML when clicking a button that I created. Heres what I did:



1. Create the button

2. Select it

3. Field tab>Control Type>radio button select Submit

4. Submit tab>in the Submit to URL: box I type the email address in this format: mailto:xxx@xxx.com

5. Submit As: drop down list select "PDF"



I uploaded this form to my server, downloaded Adobe Reader 8 on another computer, logged in from that other computer, but when I click on the submit email button nothing happens. It works if the form is set for XML, but not PDFs.



Is this the correct syntax for the email address?

What else is there that am I missing or doing wrong?



Thank you

Hi,



I had this problem.



Open the form in Acrobat Professional. Click on "Advanced" and "Enable Usage Rights in Abobe Reader". Click on "Save Now" and try it again.



I hope this helps!
