Mail merge and a protected document with formfields are incompatible as you
have experienced.

You could send the formdocument as an attachment to an email merge by
following the instructions in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with
Attachments" at:

I would like to mail merge a protected form. The idea being to get some
info
back from the recipients. As in they fill in the form and email it back to
me. I would think that I should send as attachement. However when you
'Protect form' all the mail merge options grey out, and I can not emial it
out.

Please help as to how best I can achieve this goal.

Many Thanks
