I think you will need to use the property attribute,
example:
<html:submit property="docType" value="pdf"
alt="Create a pdf file"/>
You can put a String docType property in your form and
examine it in the action to see what the user pressed.
As an aside, in my experience this becomes a bit more
complicated in a multilingual application where the
value of the button changes depending upon the user's
language.
