      I'm using CS3. (I know I can do this in Acrobat, I want to do it in InDesign if it is possible.) I've created a button and told it “on click” to launch an email, which I've finally gotten this to work when I create the pdf. Now the button launches email and opens a new window, but is there a way to tell it to attach itself (the pdf) to the email? The reason for using InDesign is then the functionality is part of the file and doesn't need to be recreated each time a pdf is created. Also, there isn't a way to have a rollover state in Acrobat and our client wants that.

      There are one bazillion things that people want to set up in ID (for the same reason you provide) but which require Acrobat. But it just won't work that way. Very frustrating. You will like need to do it in Acrobat, but check out this helpful blog post when it comes time to update the file:
