Submit PDF Form

Lets you handle the submission of a PDF form from within Workspace. You can use this service in a process map or to configure the submit service, which is a post-processing step for an xfaForm variable.

It is not recommended that you modify this service directly as it is possible to do so with Workbench. It is recommended that you make a copy of the service, modify it, and then use your copy as a post-processing step for an xfaForm variable.

Important: This process may be updated during upgrades of LiveCycle and therefore, you may need to update your version of the service.
