• 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 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 e-
mail address; for example:
mailto:[e-mail]
The form data would be submitted to that e-mail address.

OmniForm Internet Filler
After you publish a form to an intranet or the Internet, you can have
users fill in your form by using OmniForm Internet Filler. The Internet
Filler is an easy-to-use version of OmniForm that has a fill view but no
design view. Therefore, Filler users cannot edit the form’s design in any
way.
