You can render a full HTML form that is compliant with accessibility guidelines. That is, the form is rendered within full HTML tags as opposed to the HTML form being rendered within body tags (not a complete HTML page).
It is recommended that you limit your use of validation rules for form fields when rendering the form as an HTML form. Some validation rules may not be supported for HTML forms. For example, when a validation pattern of MM-DD-YYYY is applied to a
Date/Time field that is located in a form design that is rendered as an HTML form , it does not work properly, even if the date is typed in properly. However, this validation pattern works properly for forms rendered as PDF.
Before you can programmatically import data into a PDF formClient API, you must create a Form Data Integration service client. When creating a service client, you define connection settings that are required to invoke a service.
You set HTML run-time options when rendering an HTML form. For example, you can add a toolbar to an HTML form to enable users to select file attachments located on the client computer or to retrieve file attachments that are rendered with the HTML form. By default, an HTML toolbar is disabled. To add a toolbar to an HTML form, you must programmatically set run-time options. By default, an HTML toolbar consists of the following buttons:
HTTP URLs to where form data is posted may be specified by setting the target URL using the Forms Service Client API or may be specified in the Submit button contained in the XDP form design. Setting the target URL using the Forms Service Client API resets the specified target URL in the form design to the one specified using the API. If you wish to submit the HTML form to the target URL specified in the form design, then programmatically set the target URL to an empty string.
To render an HTML form, you must specify a form design created in Designer ES and saved as an XDP file. You must also select an HTML transformation type. For example, you can specify the HTML transformation type that renders a dynamic HTML for Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.
