formdata
The data is translated and packaged into an URL-encoded format which emulates certain legacy
software. The use of this format is deprecated; use
urlencoded
for new applications.
pdf
The data is packaged in PDF format as described in the
PDF Reference
[PDF].
urlencoded
The data is packaged in URL-encoded format as described in
Uniform Resource Locators (URL)
[RFC1738]. However contrary to the recommendation of that specification, the
textEncoding
property is used to determine how the text is expressed before it is URL-encoded.
xfd
The data is packaged in XFD format, as described in [XFDF].
xml
The data is packaged in XML format as described in the
XML Specification version 1.0
[XML1.0]. The
schema is determined according to the same rules used for data unloading, as described in
The id property
A unique identifier that may be used to identify this element as a target.
The target property
The URL to which the data will be submitted. Omission of this attribute implies the XFA processing
application obtains the URI using a product specific technique, such as accessing product-specific
information in the config object.
The textEncoding property
The encoding of text content in the referenced document.
Note that the value of this property is case-insensitive. For that reason it is defined in the schema as cdata
rather than as a list of XML keywords. However the value must match one of the following keywords in a
case-insensitive manner.
none
No special encoding is specified. The characters are encoded using the ambient encoding for the
operating system.
ISO-8859-1
The characters are encoded using ISO-8859-1 [ISO-8859-1], also known as Latin-1.
ISO-8859-2
The characters are encoded using ISO-8859-2 [ISO-8859-2].
ISO-8859-7
The characters are encoded using ISO-8859-7 [ISO-8859-7].
Shift-JIS
The characters are encoded using JIS X 0208, more commonly known as Shift-JIS [Shift-JIS].
