Set which pdf the fdf opens

Set which pdf the fdf opens

Greetings,

I have a pdf form available online. The form has a submit function:

this.submitForm({cURL:"mailto:abc@xyz.com?subject= Change of Info Request
for "+this.getField("3_company_name").value+"
#"+this.getField("1_account_number").value+"&body=Thank
you for completing this form.&bcc=def@ghi.com"});
this.resetForm();
}}

When the email arrives and I open the attachment, the fdf recalls the form
website. However, that's not what I want it to do. I would like to recall
another pdf from another location.

Does any one know how to set the pdf which the fdf opens?

Thanks,

Thank you very much for the quick response!

Right now our workflow is this: User fills out form located on shared drive
that's print-disabled and emails to office.

Office opens fdf file with another form that is print-enabled, prints and files
it.

This worked great because when the office worker opened the fdf, Adobe Reader
asked user to navigate to source file; which they'd point to the print-enabled
file.

Now, as we try to go online and outside the office, Acrobat goes straight to the
web for that print-disabled source file (as previously mentioned).

The office workers processing this form only have Adobe Reader.

Submit it as XML data, then open the PDF you want to import the data into in
Acrobat, go to "Forms > Manage Form Data > Import Data" and
import the XML that was attached to the e-mail.

In your submitForm call, add a value as such:
