Class: SubmitFormAction

PSPDFKit.Actions.SubmitFormAction

PDF action to submit form fields in the current document.

It is an Immutable.Record and thus can be updated using set(key, value), for example: action.set("uri", "https://pspdfkit.com");.

A SubmitFormAction defines which form fields should be submitted, when clicked on it. The form field names and their values will get submitted to the provided URI defined by the uri field. By default all form fields will be submitted. The includeExclude field defines if the fields specified by fields, which are a PSPDFKit.Immutable.List of form field names, should submit all form fields excluding the defined fields or just the defined fields. When includeExclude is set to true, all form fields except the fields defined in fields will be submitted. If includeExclude is set to false, which is the default value for this field, only the form fields defined in fields will be submitted.
