Submit by email - two related questions

Question

Windows 7 Ultimate
MS Outlook 2007
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2
Reader X
I'm very new to LiveCycle & have just created my first form with a "submit by email" button which sends the data from the form as an xml file.
I can see how sending as xml would make sense if the idea was to use the form to collect data from lots of sources that needed collating (e.g. a survey) but
What if it's something like a job application form, so I'd need to see each one seperately? So, how do I set the email button to send a copy of the completed form itself, as a pdf?
If I do need to collate data, what do i do with the xml file - how do i get multiple xml files from different people to import into.........what, a spreadsheet, a database, something else.....?
Thanks,
Boris

Hi Boris,
In Addition to Radzmar Post you can try the below mentioned steps to send the completed form as PDF and not XML
You'll need to change your email submit to a plain old "Button",
In the Object tab specify the Control Type as "Submit". This will give you a Submit tab.
Then on the Submit tab set the Submit to URL field to be mailto:mailaddress.
In the Submit As dropdown select PDF.
  If you want recipients using Reader to save form data, you'll need to make sure the PDF is Reader-enabled in Acrobat
Hope it helps
