HTTP submit button properties in the Field tab

several options for formatting HTTP submit buttons.

Sign Submission
-
Applies a data signature to the submitted data. When a form filler

attachments. Click the Settings buton to define optional security
properties for the data signature, such as the signature handler, signing
certificates, and certificate issuers.

the form content is encrypted before submission to secure the form content
during transmission. You apply encryption to the form data or to
the entire submission, including attachments. Click the Settings
buton to define optional encryption properties such as encryption
algorithm, encryption certificate, certificate issuers, and key
usage.
