// If using Professional version, put your serial key below.
ComponentInfo.SetLicense("FREE-LIMITED-KEY");
using (var document = PdfDocument.Load("%InputFileName%"))
{
// Get a button field.
var submitButtonField = (PdfButtonField)document.Form.Fields["Submit"];
// Create "submit form" field action.
var submitFormAction = submitButtonField.Actions.AddSubmitForm("https://www.gemboxsoftware.com/");
// Set XFDF (XML Forms Data Format) as form data export format.
submitFormAction.ExportFormat = PdfFormDataFormat.XFDF;
// Submit all form fields.
submitFormAction.SelectedFields.All = true;
// Get a button field.
var resetButtonField = (PdfButtonField)document.Form.Fields["Reset"];
// Create "reset form" field action.
var resetFormAction = resetButtonField.Actions.AddResetForm();
// Reset "Gender" and "Age" fields.
resetFormAction.SelectedFields.Excluded = false;
resetFormAction.SelectedFields.Add("Gender");
