Adding/Deleting Attachments

[catherine26]

Is there a script or feature with a button or something that the user can add attachments to a PDF form just using Adobe Reader??  Thanks for any help on this.

There's a sample form here with scripts: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1923918#1923918

(link doesn't seem to be going direct to the message - it's message number 271)

Note that Reader needs to be extended via the Reader Extensions server for file attaching to work.

Thanks for your reply.  The issue is I don't have LiveCycle on this computer so I'm having trouble reading the script for the button.  Is there a way you could email or post just the script to me.  Thanks!

This is the script on the Add File button:

var myDoc = event.target;

var sFile = "myFile" + NumericField1.rawValue;

myDoc.importDataObject({cName: sFile});

var myDataObject = myDoc.getDataObject(sFile);

var sFileName = myDataObject.path;

ListBox1.addItem(sFileName,sFile);

NumericField1.rawValue = NumericField1.rawValue + 1;

You'll really need to look at it in Designer though to see how everything works.

Okay I typed in the script for the button.  Is a window suppose to pop-up?  Sorry I'm somewhat new at this scripting thing for Designer.

Thank you, thank you I finally figured it out.

Hi Catherine, glad you got it. Sorry I didn't get back to you I've been sick for the last few days.
