Hi there,
Someone asked me to add an attachment field to a PDF dynamic form. Based on previous research we figured out that will not be possible: our users don't have Acrobat - just Reader - and we won't purchase Reader Extensions. How about using a form field to help the user send the attachments that a are required with that give form? For instance:
- User would fill in the form and when asked for attachments he/she would browse for the file.
- The form would save the file name as text on the form (like the answer for a text field)
- The PDF form would memorize the location of the file(s)
- When the user hits "Submit" the PDF form would gather the files listed for attachment and add them as attachments - in additon to itself - to the email created by the submission button.
That way the attachments are not saved as part of the PDF form, but the PDF form is automating the process of adding them to the submission email.
Is that doable with LiveCycle Designer? Any tips on how to go about coding/building those actions?
Thanks in advance,
AV
