To insert a submit button that embeds a PDF        

1.	Add a button to the form design. See To add objects to a form design.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Field tab.

3.	In the Control Type area, select Submit. Data will be submitted according to the settings in the Submit tab.

4.	Click the Submit tab and type the URL protocol in the Submit to URL box.

 

To	Use this URL protocol	Example
Submit the package to an ftp site	ftp	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/GPL
Submit the package to a web server	http	http://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to a secure web server	https	https://myserver/cgi-bin/
Submit the package to an email address	mailto	mailto:username@domain.com

Note:

When submitting data to a URL, it is recommended that you specify an absolute target. Relative targets are interpreted relative to the user environment, which can vary from one user to the next at run time.

5.	Select PDF from the Submit As list.

This format submits a package containing an embedded PDF file. Choose this format if the form contains a signature field, or if a copy of the form together with its data needs to be saved by LiveCycle Forms ES or submitted to another type of target server. Do not choose this option if the form initiates server-side processing, if LiveCycle Forms ES will be used to render HTML or dynamic forms at run time, or if the form is a PDF form that will be filled in Adobe Reader without the use of LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES.

6.	(Optional) To apply a signature to the submitted data, select Sign Submission in the Field tab and then click Settings to configure optional signature settings.
