Setting Attributes for a Form

Setting Submission Information
Using the
Submission
tab, you can set how you will submit your form
and where you will send your form after you submit it.
To set submission information:
1 Choose
Properties
in the File menu.
The Properties dialog box appears.
2Click the
Submission
tab.
3 Type an action in the
Action
text box.
It will be saved in the drop-
down list for selection the next time you open this dialog box.
An action describes where form data will be sent after
submission from OmniForm Filler, a Web browser, or Adobe’s
Acrobat software.
• The action could point to a Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
script on a Web server; for example:
http://www.caere.com/location-bin/script.pl
This would tell OmniForm Filler to submit data to a script on
Caere’s Web server.
• If the file is saved as HTML or PDF, the action could be an
email address; for example:
mailto:name.othername@company.com
The form data would be submitted to that e-mail address.
4 Select a means of submitting data.
• Select
GET
to append text to the Universal Resource Locator
(URL) specified in the
Action
drop-down list.
• Select
POST
to notify the Web server to open the CGI
application and pass the data.
