Emailing a PDF Form

Question

Hi everyone,
I have created a form using Acrobat Pro XI. The form is viewed in Reader by end users which they can complete and save.
At the bottom of the form I have 3 buttons. Save Form, Print Form , Clear Form. They are all working fine.
I would now like to add an extra button called Send Form that enables end users to send their completed form to the appropriate recipients. If possible I would like the following steps to occur
User clicks Send Form
Outlook (or other mail software) opens a new email
To: field is automatically populated with email addresses eg say Payroll and Finance
Subject: line is Populated with Staffing Action Form - [Action Requested] - [Employee Name]
Attachment Field; contains the attached completed Staffing Action Form
In the message body the text The attached Staffing Action Form has been completed and submitted for action.
* The [Action Requested] is a drop down field within the form
* The [Employee Name] is a text field in the form
Also is it possible to send the email to different recipients based on what has been selected through the [Action Requested] value via an If Else or Case statement?
Is there anyone with experience in sending PDF forms as email attachments that could assist me with the script for this please?
Many thanks
Michael

What you describe is possible by scripting.
You can read about the "mailDoc" method at:

As a first step, have a look at this tutorial:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/dynamically-setting-submit-e-mail-address
You can download the example and adapt the script to your file.
