How do I attach an Adobe form to an Email?

Tue Jun 17 18:14:14 EDT 2008

Thomas,

The URL link is not an option for me as the only requirement is to send an email with the PCR attached (no log in wanted).  It's a pure notification.

I'll let you know when I'm finished with converting the PCR to an attachment.
