Email from toolbar - how to submit as an attachment (pdf) rather than xml

[Debra_Charleswo]

I am using LiveCycle Designer version 8.05.

When I open my form in Acrobat (8) or Reader (8/9), the e-mail button on the toolbar defaults to sending an xml file.  I would prefer it to be an attached pdf file, since most of the recipients won't understand how to import data into a form.  The form is meant to be printed and signed to be submitted.

Is there any way to make the toolbar button default to attaching a pdf?  I've read the threads about buttons on the forms, but haven't seen one addressing the toolbar.

Thanks-

In my Acrobat it attaches a PDF file ....in Reader there is tool on the toolbar but under the file menu there is an email option.....but it will only send a blank form unless you Reader Extend the doc. Am I missing something?

orry about that..  I'm totally wrong, and this works as it should.

When I do use the "email" button, it gives me an error when the form is  blank.  I (wrongly) assumed that it was trying to attach a blank xml file.

It won't attach a blank or partially filled pdf file, but I think this  is ok.  I'd prefer they fill it completely before e-mailing it, anyway.
