Alright let's create our E-mail Submit Button and we'll test this fella out inside Acrobat. So inside your Object Library Panel look for your E-mail Submit Button and I'll just drag this guy straight down onto my form and I'll drop him just above my Print Button, something like this. And as we saw earlier we have this little Warning Icon here letting us know that our E-mail Submit Button is incomplete. So let's go and check this out inside the Object Panel. So into the Object Panel, again, you can change your Caption if you want. I think what I'm going to do is I'm just going to change the Caption to read Submit. Maybe I don't want to advertise that it's going to be submitted via E-mail. I'll let the user discover that on their own when they actually go and submit this. The Appearance, the Highlighting, no big deal, but this is what I want to show you here. The E-mail Address and the E-mail Subject, they make this so easy to work with. So, go ahead and type in your E-mail address; I'm going to put in mine here: geoff at tentonbooks.com, and you can stick in a Subject Line if you want, that's optional. I think what I'll do is I'll just simply type in, I'll type in: Submitted Form Data, how's that? OK, now let's go and test this guy out. You know, before I do, though. I just can't help myself. I've just got to adjust that a little bit. OK. Let's go and test this guy out. I'm going to save him up and head over to Acrobat, and I'll go and open this fella up inside Acrobat, okay. There's our Form. If you want to, you can mark off a few of your Checkboxes, you can fill in some of your Text Fields, and the whole bit. What I'm going to do though, is I'm going to click on Submit and I get this dialog box coming up here asking me if I want to use a Desktop E-mail program or application, or do I want to use Web-based E-mail? Well, I'm going to go with my Desktop E-mail program and I'll click on OK, and what I get opened here is a brand new E-mail ready to go with the attached Form data in the XML File format, by the way, we'll talk about that in a little while. There's my Subject, and there's my E-mail address right up at the top. So as you can see they really make this very, very easy to work with inside LiveCycle.
