[Zope] urgent: problem with dynamic pdf

hi, 

For an insurance company, I've created PDF forms of their various 
insurance applications. These will be available on their website (when it 
is done). Each form, being in PDF, looks exactly like the printed version 
of the application. The idea is that a user fills it out online, hits the 
(visible but unprintable) "Submit" button at the bottom of the form, and 
the entire completed PDF is sent to the company. That way they can print 
it out, and carry on with their current paper filing system. 

I experimented with using a "mailto:..." URL for the Submit button, but that requires an external mail program. 
It also gives the attached PDF a random temp filename. 

Therefore, I'd like to send the PDF to a python script, change the name, 
and email it to the company from there. I played with it a bit, and I can 
reach the destination script, but I have no idea what happens to the PDF. 
I expected it to show up in file, but nothing. 
i supose it's possible to access the data in the REQUEST object and 
redirect it into  file but how? 

Can anyone tell me what to do from here? Thanks!
