You can submit the form to a HTTP server as a POST or GET request. There
was a discussion about this in January, see thread "PBox Newbie Seeking
Immediate Solution"
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/pdfbox-users/201601.mbox/browser
In the PDF spec, look for "12.7.5.2 Submit-Form Action". There is no
example for this yet. You'd need to not only create a proper form, but a
web server as well.

Hi Gilad,
Well - both - using a javascript button on the PDF form to call a java
executeable to submit the data on the form to a database. But it doesnt
sound like javascript can call executeables?
I will probably have to have the form saved to the disk and then have the
java executeable given the path to the file, where it can then scrape the
data to the database?
Cheers

Java or JavaScript? The two are very different, despite the similar names.
You can't execute a Java file from within a PDF (luckily), but you can
attach (Acrobat) JavaScript code to a button in a PDF and have it execute
when the button is pressed, yes.
