Upload / Attach File in form

[Former Community Member]

I'm new to the LiveCycle Designer, so please bare with me.



I need to design a form that will allow a user to link/attach files. When the user submits the form we would like the form to link to the documents like a hyperlink.



Please help the newbie.

Hi Paul, could you please send me a copy as well?

It would be cool if Adobe offered some form of code repository.

Received the script and my form now can browse/attach files and launch an email. However, the recipient receives the email with an xml attatchment? Paul's email instructed me to 'extend' something in Reader? Sorry, need more help here please. What I'm trying to do is create a form that users can complete fields and attatch files to the form. Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi Paul,



I have a requirement to open up a pdf in Adobe pro thru our web application, the user makes the necessary changes and submits the pdf to an action (.do). I beleive I could include a javascript in the pdf document to save the document on user's local hard drive with saveAs. Can I submit that pdf document back to my application some how ? Do you have a script which could do something similar. I will appreciate it if you will let me know whether it is possible or not. Thanks

You'll need to Reader-enable your PDF in Acrobat Pro. under the Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader menu. This will allow recipients who are using Reader to complete and save data in the form.

I've posted Paul's sample to Acrobat.com. It can be found at:

Great idea! Thanks lkassuba.

Thanks Lori. I'll give that a try. Cheers!

My company's firewall has blocked access to the share.acrobat.com site, so I'll need a copy of the attachments code emailed to me at rswift@kcp.com.

I'm also looking for a way to just open/view the attachments pane in Reader, and/or show a count of the number of attachments currently contained in the PDF form. I'm hoping the sample script will provide clues needed to accomplish this. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Just been trying to use the sample script. It looks and works great initially but when i extend acrobat reader rights the add file button stops functioning.



Has anyone else had this?



Am I doing something wrong with permissions??



Thanks,

As I mentioned in the email the file must be extended using Reader Extensions server and NOT ACROBAT. Acrobat does not turn on the file attachment rights.

Hi Lori. I can't find the 'Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader' menu. Is that because I'm in Acrobat Pro 8?

[Allta_Media]

In Acrobat 8 Pro., the command is located under Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Reader. This will allow recipients with Reader to save the form data but it does not reader-enable the file so recipients with Reader can attach files -- you'll need the Server product to do this as Paul mentions above. Or, use the alternative he mentions in the beginning of the thread.

Hi Paul,



I'd greatly appreciate it if you could send me the script as well. My email is cookc@firemtn.com



Thank you very much!

Hi Ikassuba. Sorry for having an extra bowl to stupid this morning, but are you saying that I need another product besides Acrobat Pro and Live Cycle to create this PDF form that will attach and send files along with other form data? Like "LiveCycle Reader Extensions server" someone said....? Cheers

I got some help from Kim Williams.

But the Pdf that I have got from him, doesn't seems to work.



Nothing happens when i click the Add file button.

only the color of the button changes for a fraction of second.



I have read somwhere that I need to Enable usage rights in Acrobat reader in this forum only.



If anyone has the idea, please help me at yogesh249@gmail.com



Thanks.

Remember that if you are using Reader that you must Reader Extend the file to allow attachments to work

Hi Paul,



Like the many many others who have posted to this thread, I would be extremely appreciative if you would send me the script that allows a user to attach a document to a PDF form. Our clients need to submit supporting information with their pdf on-line application form.



My e-mail is bluey72@live.com.
