Embed JavaScript/Action Wizard in PDF

I have about a large number of PDFs with form fields. Is it possible to embed a JavaScript command/Action Wizard in the PDF that will save the PDF or email it to me once all fields have been completed? The ones completing the form only have Acrobat Reader by the way, so this would have to work without the completer needing to have the action wizard locally.

You would have to add an active element (button) to your forms, which do initiate the submit. An automatic submit is theoretically possible, but extremely bad practice.

The button you will add does not even need JavaScript, but you add the Action Submit Form and set your options. Users with a somewhat capable PDF viewer will then be able to submit the form.
