Form Received Is Jibberish

I am such a novice that I didn't even know what forum to submit this question to. This is my problem that I hope you can lend some simple-non programmer type solutions to. I have lucked up on being able to creat great forms in Abode Acrobat Pro LiveCycle, the however when I place the 'submit by email button',I expected to receive a completed form that looks like the one they fill out, but instead I receive what looks like coding language and then over to the right of it, is the answer they have typed in. How can I set this up (simply) to just receive the actual completed form in PDF format when they select the 'submit by email button'. PLEASE help. Thank you!!

Rather than using the "submit by email" button that is available in the standard library, you can use

the "button" and set it up to submit the form as a PDF by email.

Add the button,

On the OBJECT>FIELD palette, choose SUBMIT as Control type.  A SUBMIT page appears on the palette.Choose PDF from the SUBMIT AS dropdown and add your email address to the SUBMIT BY URL text field.

Hope this helps
