Specifying the format for submitting data

When you create a form, you can specify the format in which to submit its data. You specify the data submission format in LiveCycle Designer ES in one of two ways:

•	By placing a Button object on the form, specifying it as a submit button, and choosing the format to submit the data.

•	By placing an HTTP Submit button or Email Submit button on your form.

After you add a Button object to your form design, you can specify a format to submit data in the Submit tab of the Object palette. HTTP Submit buttons and Email Submit buttons are preconfigured to use specific submission formats. For more information about data submission formats, see
About submitting data using a button.

LiveCycle Designer ES supports four data submission formats:

•	XML Data Package (XDP) This format is the only format that supports the inclusion of attachments.

•

PDF

•	XML Data (XML)

•	URL-Encoded Data (HTTP Post) This format is the only data submission format for HTML forms.
