Email submit button properties in the Field tabWhen
you select an email submit button, the Field tab in the Object palette displays
several options for formatting email submit buttons.
TypeSets
the type of object. Objects are the building blocks of every form.
CaptionSets
a caption for the object.
Note: Caption is a dynamic
property. Dynamic properties are identified by active labels that
have a green underline that you can click to dynamically bind the property
to a data source. To turn active labels on and off, use the Show
Dynamic Properties command in the Object palette menu. See Dynamically populate a caption.
AppearanceSets
the border style:
- No Border
- Removes the line around the button.
- Solid Border
- Creates a thick line around the button.
- Raised Border
- Creates a shadow around the button so that the button looks three-dimensional.
- Custom
- Opens the Custom Appearance dialog box. Select this option
if you want to define a custom look for the button.
HighlightingSets
the button highlight when the button is clicked:
- None
- Removes the button highlight.
- Inverted
- Inverts the button highlight when the button is clicked.
- Push
- Creates a shadow around the button so that the button looks
like it is recessed.
- Outline
- Creates a line around the button when the button is clicked.
Rollover CaptionSets a rollover caption when the button highlight
is set to Push. This caption appears when the mouse pointer moves
over the button.
Down CaptionSets a down caption when the button highlight
is set to Push. This caption appears when the button is clicked.
Email AddressSets the recipient of the email message and the
attached form data.
Email SubjectSets the subject line for the email message.
Submit AsSets the format of the data
to submit.
- PDF
- 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 along with its data needs to be saved by Forms, or submitted
to another type of target server. Do not choose this option if the
form initiates server-side processing, if Forms will be used to
render at run time HTML forms or forms whose layout adjusts, or
if the form is a PDF form that will be filled in Adobe Reader without
the use of Reader Extensions.
- XML Data (XML)
- Submits an XML data stream, which allows for the hierarchical representation
of data and can be parsed by any generic XML parser. Choose this format
if the server that communicates with the run-time user application program
must receive an XML data steam.
- URL-Encoded Data (HTTP Post)
- Submits a text stream to the specified Uniform Resource Locator
(URL) using the POST method. The text stream can
be parsed by an FTP server, a mail server, a web server, or a CGI
script that processes HTML forms. To use this method, users must
open the form in Adobe Reader 6.0 or later or in a web browser unless
the URL specifies the mailto protocol.
- Sign Submission
- Applies a data signature to the submitted data. When a form filler
clicks the button, a digital signature is created to cover the submitted
data and attachments. Data signatures secure the signed data and
guarantee the data integrity during transmission. Data signatures
can apply to the form data or to the entire submission, including
attachments. Click the Settings buton to define optional security
properties for the data signature, such as the signature handler, signing
certificates, and certificate issuers.
- Encrypt Submission
- Encrypts form content. When a form filler clicks the button,
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.
PresenceControls
whether an object is displayed in a PDF form when users view the
form in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, or when users print the form:
- Visible
- The object is visible on-screen, visible in the printed form,
and occupies space in the form layout. Visible is the default presence
setting for all objects.
- Visible (Screen Only)
- The object is visible on-screen, not visible in the printed form
when printed from within Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and occupies space
in the form layout.
- Visible (Print Only)
- The object is not visible on-screen, visible in the printed form
(when printed from within Acrobat, Adobe Reader, or directly from
the server), and occupies space in the form layout.
- Invisible
- The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed
form, and occupies space in the form layout.
- Hidden (Exclude from Layout)
- The object is not visible on-screen, not visible in the printed
form, and does not occupy any space in the form layout.
- One-sided Printing Only
- The object is only printed when using single-sided printing.
- Two-sided Printing Only
- The object is printed when using double-sided printing. This
option is useful when you want to place the page number in a different
corner of the page when using double-sided printing than when using single-sided
printing.
LocaleRenders
the data according to the specified locale for language and country
or region. You can select a specific language and country from the
list, or you can specify one of these options:
- Default Locale
- Uses the Default Locale specified in the Defaults tab of
the Form Properties dialog box.
- Viewer’s System Locale
- Uses the system locale of the user’s computer.
Note: Locales in the Locale list are organized first
by language and then by country or region.
