How can i submit a form in PDF by using Javascript?
Is it possible to reference a Form or a Button on a PDF using Javascript?
What I am trying to do is to write Javascript code that will submit a form, or if not that, click a Button of my choice that submits the form.
The problem I have here is that I don't know how to reference the button or the form in Javascript.
So is there a way to achieve this?

@JO3-W3B-D3V I started with the basics. Researched on how to send web requests to a webpage, for which i got a method called app.launchURL(). But it requires user-interaction. I created a normal form with a submit button pointing to my webserver and it works properly. What i now want to do is to reference this button and trigger the "click" action.

In Acrobat JavaScript, you can not execute "click a button" as an action.
Instead you execute whatever the MouseUp event of that button has assigned. If it is a function, execute the function, if it is some lines of JavaScript code, execute those lines.
In any case, you will need a trigger event. When you have specified it, the rest is straightforward.
I also strongly recommend to have a good look at the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
