It's included in the submitted FDF, not PDF.

Yes, it works, if that's what you're asking.

You will need to use the FDF Toolkit if you're submitting as FDF (unless you want to write your own FDF toolkit). See the FDF Toolkit documentation for more information. If you choose to submit as "HTML", then you would process the submission as you would an HTML submission with a file upload. There's a lot of sample code out on the net for the latter approach.
