Notice: If a form contains a button with a Submit Form Action then it is recommended to exclude
the button field from locking so that it is still possible to submit the form data. Otherwise, the entire
form is locked, incl. the submit button, and it is impossible to submit the form data to a web server.
Example (C++):
In this example we create a simple form with only one text field and an empty signature field. The
form should be signed by the user after it has been filled in and then submitted to a web server. The
submit button is hidden when the form is created; it becomes visible after the document has been
signed. Note that this example works only with the full version of Adobe's Acrobat 5 or higher.
