I have a form that I would like people to fill out and click the submit button, which emails the form to me, but I want the form to clear after clicking the submit button. Is there a way to clear a form after submission?

You can do it using a script, like this:

this.submitForm({cURL: "mailto:me@server.com", cSubmitAs: "PDF"});

this.resetForm();

Or you can do it without a script, by just adding a Reset Action after the Submit Action.

True, but then the order in which the actions are executed is not guaranteed. I've seen cases in which the second action got executed before the first one, which you don't want if you're submitting a form and you want it to keep its data in tact...
