PDF forms often include Submit Buttons to send user input to a server. The submit flag determines the data format sent (e.g., XFDF, FDF, HTML).

  1. Bind a PDF document.
  2. Access an existing submit button.
  3. Set the submit flag for the desired format.
  4. Save the updated PDF document.
import aspose.pdf as ap
import aspose.pdf.facades as pdf_facades
import sys
from os import path

sys.path.append(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), ".."))

from config import set_license, initialize_data_dir


def set_submit_flag(input_file_name, output_file_name):
    # Create FormEditor object
    form_editor = pdf_facades.FormEditor()

    # Open input PDF file
    form_editor.bind_pdf(input_file_name)

    # Set submit flag for the form
    form_editor.set_submit_flag("Script_Demo_Button", ap.facades.SubmitFormFlag.XFDF)

    # Save output PDF file
    form_editor.save(output_file_name)
