Emailing completed webforms - can't do it - why bother?
I created a nice form, loaded it to the web, tested it and when I clicked the "Submit" button - nada! Researched, tried other methods and when I finally called support, I was told that Acrobat DC can't/won't email completed pdf forms from the web! But maybe it would work if I could find someone who could code the javascript for me. So I found the javascript (I can do some coding) and this.maildoc() doesn't work.
Why bother with this? It was a huge waste of time. There are on-line pdf form companies that charge less and claim to offer emailed form results. I'll try them. Small comfort, at least I didn't pay for this.

I too have created some forms that I would like to add the "Submit Form" to make it easier for the people filling out the form. Unfortunately I tried as well to create the Submit Form and have it email the form and when the form is emailed it comes blank, even though I filled out the whole form. What am I doing wrong???

Why would the submit button work on one form but not an exact copy of the form but with a different e-mail address?

Thanks for the suggestions try67, but tried this.mailDoc() and Submit Form from the web with Acrobat DC recently? (Create a link from a website to a pdf doc stored on the web.) I tried both and they didn't work.
I tried this code -
this.maildoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "myaddress@gmail.com",
cCC: "my2ndaddress@gmail.com",
cSubject: "Employee Application",
cMsg: "From the on-line job application form"
});When I clicked the submit button, it opens an email doc with most of the information (not the CC), but the pdf is not attached.
The Submit Form does nothing.
Please let me know if it works for you. Thanks!

Of course it's possible.
The correct code is:
this.mailDoc();
You can also use the built-in Submit Form command, with a mailto command as the target URL.
