why does the email button attach xml instead of pdf?

Sorry, it's probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out! Thanks a million!

Default action of the application. If you want something different, you will have to either edit the button actions or create a button and provide the appropriate actions.



You will probably need to download some of the LiveCycle Designer documentation from Adobe's support.

Hi Diana. You can use the Button object (not a Submit button) and modify it to submit the PDF version of your document.



After you've placed a button in your layout;



1) click on the Object tab

2) Select "Submit" as your Control Type



when you've done this, a "Submit" tab will appear



3) Click on the "Submit" tab

4) Change the "Submit Format" to "PDF"

5) Add the e-mail address in the "Submit to URL" field (as below);
