I have been searching online to determine if I can use Adobe Forms for my application. For various reasons related to existing downstream processing, I need a flow as follows:
- User downloads form from the web.
- User enters data into a the form offline.
- User presses "submit" and the form data is sent via the user's e-mail client to a static e-mail address contained in the form definition.
All of the above seems possible with Adobe Forms. The complication is that I need the form data to arrive at the given e-mail inbox in a specific text format, not in XML. I can write an XSLT Stylesheet to transform the XML into the required text format, and I see that there is some XSL support in the Adobe Forms system. It wasn't clear
A - where in the process the XSL is applied or
B - if it is acceptable for the XSL output type to be set to text.
If push comes to sove, I can apply the XSL downstream, i.e., I can send XML via e-mail and then apply the transformation. Other circumstances I won't describe here make that a PITA and so I'd rather do the transform earlier in the process.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
