Live form to static form

[BetlegeuseKC]

I have a live form that I created as an invoice, so we can fill it out and save copies of it, but I'd like to be able to email it to clients but not have them be able to change the live fields.  Is there a way to take my form and add a button that basically converts my live form with all its data that I've typed in, into a statc unchangable PDF that that can then be saved locally and emailed?  Would this be handled through Distribute?  I'm using Livecycle designer ES V.8

Well, I guess the stupid answer is to use the File>Print and set the printer to the AdobePDF converter.  That's way too easy.  I guess my revised question is:  How can I make a button on the form that will set the printer Parameters to the Adobe PDF converter automatically and just ask you where to save it?  Basically make it easier for the other people in the office to use this form...

You can use the print command, but i think you'll always print to the default printer.

print

Prints a specific number of pages from a document. It is  available only for client applications.

Syntax

Reference_Syntax.print( BOOLEAN param1, INTEGER param2, INTEGER param3, BOOLEAN param4, BOOLEAN param5, BOOLEAN param6, BOOLEAN param7, BOOLEAN param8 )

Parameters

param1	• true | 1  (JavaScript) or 1 (FormCalc) (default) Displays a print dialog box and  prompts the user for printing setup information and confirmation of the  action. • false | 0 (JavaScript) or 0  (FormCalc) Does not display a print dialog box. Printing proceeds without  prompting the user for information or confirmation.
param2	A valid string representing the page  number of the beginning of the range to print. Page values are 0-based, so you represent page 1  with a value of 0. The start page is included in the printing.
param3	A valid string representing the page  number of the end of the range to print. Page values are 0-based, so you represent page 1  with a value of 0. The end page is included in the printing.

That was about all I could come up with too.
