We are currently using email as a form of submission and it is making out exchange server extremely slow. I would like to know if forms can be submitted in any other way ?
I have been told HTTP is an alternative but I am not sure if this can be used to submit an entire PDF...
Can someone provide me more information.

You can submit the entire PDF over HTTP. You determine what gets submitted as part of the "Submit" button properties on the form. You have the option to submit as:
XML Data Package (XDP)
XML Data (XML)
URL encoded data (http post)

Hi Steve - How would the server accept it ?
Do I need to change any settings or setup any endpoint ?

You need to submit the PDF to a Java servlet, then have the Java servlet invoke the LiveCycle process to "do something" with the submitted PDF. The following link discusses how to invoke LiveCycle from a Java servlet.

I tried to follow the instructions from the link but I am getting all sorts of errors I can't figure out.
Do you know any other source with more simpler steps that I can refer to ? All I want to do it submit a pdf to a servlet and maybe save it to a file system.

Unfortunately, the information in the link I posted is the best resource I know of (with regards to invoking a LiveCycle service from a Java Servlet). If all you want to do is write the PDF to the file system, then your Java Servlet could do this on it's own without invoking a LiveCycle process.
You would have to research the Java code required to do this.

Some additional resources:
LC ES Programmers Guide
Handling submitted forms using the Java API
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000345.html
Quick Start: Handling submitted forms using the Java API
http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/000080.html
The resources assume you are familiar with Java development tools like Eclipse. The original URL Steve provided includes step-by-step instructions to configure and enable Eclipse to find the LiveCycle ES Java libraries.
