I have a PDF form created in LiveCycle Designer 8. When a user opens this form they attach other documents to it (images, spreadsheets, etc). How do I submit the Original PDF form + it's attachments to a Servlet? Do I do this in LiveCycle Designer using a HTTP Submit Button or in Acrobat 8?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

You're best option is to use the AcroForm submit function from a button on your LiveCycle Document. Add this code to the click event script

event.target.submitForm({cURL:"Your URL",cSubmitAs:"PDF"});
This will only work on Reader if the Document has been "Save" Enabled, which can only be done from Acrobat 8, or one of the LiveCycle Servers.

I'm looking at a very similar requirement and I was wondering how you retrieved the PDF from the request object. The servlet is expecting the data to be encoded by multipart/mime, but it is being encoded by application/pdf format. Any help appreciated.
