No way attaching files to a form without Reader Extension Server?

Dear all,
do I understand this right? There is no way to create a form to which attachments can be added using Acrobat Reader unless the form has been reader extended to do so with Reader Extension Server?
If there are any possibilities I would be very thankful for any hint.
Thanks for checking this thread and any answers

"There is no way to create a form to which attachments can be added using Acrobat Reader unless the form has been reader extended to do so with Reader Extension Server?"
Yes you got it right. There are no exceptions or workarounds for this.

Attaching file to a form

Need to have a form that is emailed to me that has a attach
file button, the form is for registration. After filling out the
form there should be a button to attach a file, which will be
emailed to me along with the form when the Submit button is
pressed.

Wasn't meant to be nasty. I don't know why you took it that
way. Your
original post left no room for you to be mistaken. It was
absolute. A
statement starting with something like "I think..." leaves
room for mistake.
Absolute statements like "it cannot be done" must be ignored.
Simple.

Given the context that doesn't matter, IMO.

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all?

Is there a way to save a fillable form (in Reader) as a static (uneditiable) image and send it for signature without the recipient being able to revise the fields at all? I have designed a number of fillable forms and sent them to our clients as Reader extended pdfs to be filled out and sent back. Now, certain clients want to be able to fill in the fields and save the doc as a pdf that can't be tampered with so that they can send it to their own people for signature to be returned to them hand-signed and scanned via email.
Since the forms have been secured, and my cleints are only using the free Acrobat Reader, how can they save the filled in form as a static pdf to send on for signature? They do not want to have to print, scan and email. Is there an app, plug-in, simple solution to this?
Thank you,
Rumor

The signature WILL work! I've just looked into it more, thank you so much for pointing me in that direction.
I get it now, it locks the form fields in place after my coworker fills them in and signs it (as the very last step).
I wish I would have asked on here a full day ago. Would have saved a lot of headache and Googling.
Thanks again.

importDataObject
Imports an external file into the document and associates the specified name with the data object. Data objects can later be extracted or manipulated.
Related objects, properties, and methods are dataObjects, getDataObject, openDataObject, createDataObject, exportDataObject, removeDataObject, getDataObjectContents, and setDataObjectContents, and the Data Object.
NOTES:(SecurityS): If the cDIPath parameter is specified, this method can only be executed during batch, console or menu events, or through an external call (for example, OLE). See “Privileged versus Non-privileged Context” on page 34 for details. See the event Object for a discussion of Acrobat JavaScript events.
When a file attachment is imported using importDataObject, the value of its Data.name is assigned by the parameter cName. However, when a file is attached using the UI, its name is automatically assigned. The attachments are assigned the sequential names “Untitled Object”, “Untitled Object 2”, “Untitled Object 3”, and so on.
Returns
true on success. An exception is thrown on failure.
Example
this.importDataObject("MyData");

Hi,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
There are some types of message size limits and several scope of limits. Please check the message size limits and attachment size limits in your organization, connector, server and user.

How do I print to a postscript file with InDesign CS6 without both extensions, .indd.ps?

How do I print to a postscript file without an .indd extension in InDesign CS6? I choose Print, choose a print preset from my print shop and Save. The first time I tried it was blank (the Hide Extension was checked), so I tried to save and got a dialog box that said it cannot be saved as an .indd file (duh), to choose both or .ps. I chose .ps and it was fine, but every time I postscripted it gave me this dialog box until I unchecked Hide Extension. After I did that, every time I postscript it automatically saves both extensions. Not a big deal but it is annoying. I just want it to end with .ps like it used to. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks!!

I have no idea but I am incredibly curious...why are you doing this?
Printing to postscript is a completely archaic workflow. Export to PDF
instead.

How to add "Comments" and attach files onto a form?

My server is LiveCycle ES 2.5, trial version, Turnkey install / Express mode with Reader Extensions.
Client side has IE8 and Reader X 10.1.2.
User interface is the standard out-of-the-box WorkSpace ES.
I have an application that routes a PDF form through a Workflow,
the input/output of the User Tasks is a Document variable that points to the PDF form.
I know that in the WorkSpace, ther's a built-in Attachment "tab" where the user can attach files and get them routed along with the form.
But how about Reader's "attach file" (the paper clip) and annotations (the yellow sticker)? how to allow users to use those features?
I tried it in the WorkSpace, and when the form is loaded in the IE window, those features were disabled.
How to enable them?
Do I need to modify the standard Render service? and add 'Apply Usgae Rights' or something?
is there an easier way that I missed?
thanks

Attachments are lost if your form submits as XDP. If you change the submit type to PDF then server that same PDF back to the next user, the attachments will be there. If you decide for other reasons, you still want to submit as an XDP, take a look at this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4316578#4316578

How can user attach file to interactive form, and be read by abap program?

Hello,
I created an abap interactive form, sent to the user, then user fills out the form fields, then it is uploaded back to sap, then my program reads this data and process it.
It works.
Now I want users to be able to attach any file they want, and the abap program to extract this file out of the PDF, to put it into SAP (or anywhere).
I succeeded in attaching a file, I can "see" it via function module get_annotations, but I get the file in compressed form by Adobe (filter="FlateDecode").
Do you know how to unzip the file, or is there another way to attach files in adobe reader/extract them via abap?
I use acrobat reader 8.1.2
Thx a lot!
sandra
Below is the xml obtained by GET_ANNOTATIONS. We see that there are other text annotations, and that the attached file has {length="98005"}, though real file (before "attach file" to the PDF, and also after "detach file") has length 111 995 bytes. It's why I deduced that there is a compression (I also tried to extract it as-is and open it with adobe but it doesn't work.

Hello everybody,
I am sure you have an answer to my question above. It was :
how is it possible for a user to ATTACH files to a PDF interactive form, and then be able to READ them via a program ? (I guess the solution to read them via ABAP or JAVA is quite the same?)
Thx a lot !

Is there a way to create an interactive form without Acrobat

Bottom line, is there a way to create an interactive form that can either be filled out and saved, or "submitted" with a mailto: button without having to buy a copy of acrobat too.
I have found numerous tutorials and examples, but everytime I try I run into the "action is not supported" error from adobe reader. Ironically, I have not problems saving a filled out form with OSX preview, but that won't work for PC users.
It seems like Adobe missed a step or is just forcing users to buy a secondary product to "re-save" a file with a form.

It’s not a failing at all. It’s just the way it is.
If you’d like to file a feature request you can do so here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Append new file to the old without reading the new file

Is there anyway to append a new file (new.txt) to the old file(old.txt) directly without using BufferedReader to read each line of the new.txt.?
Thank you very much for your input!

Look at RandomAccessFile, the length and seek methods.
If you're wanting better performance, you would need to test. I didn't check how the seek method positions to the specified location. If length() returns the EOF position, does seek() position directly to that location, or does it spin the file down from the start? And it very well might vary by os.
If anyone has additional information or can correct me, please do.

Allow a simple obdc connection without Reader Extensions

I have this requirement, and so it seems to others on the LS forums.
I have no server and need to distribute information to Adobe Reader users of a form. The information benefits from some manipulation (sorting), and may be updated frequently. One easy way to maintain the data is using XL. When the data needs to be sent to the user community its simple to attach it to an email.
My form, created with LS uses this variable information as a 'database' to populate default values into the form, think names, addresses, and phones. The Reader user doesn't update the database, though they could by using XL.
Today I can't tie the form to the XL data easily. While I appreciate the security issues I'd request some completely 'local' solution to an LS data connection, one that could run on a single PC.

Thanks for a quick response.
In Acrobat *8 or 9 Professional you can enable a form to be activated with the save feature.
How do you do this. When I saved the form without distributing it, and opened the form up in Acrobat Reader, the header said specifically that the data could not be saved in the form. And when I went to save it, I got the message in a popup that said "Data in this form will not be saved. Reader can only save a blank copy of this form." Then a second message (with a light bulb) said: "Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
So, if in fact I can have the form (without "distributing" it) so that the user can save the form with the data, how do I do that? Are there commands I use, options? Please let me know. I will be eternally grateful.
Also, if you edit form fields, you may remove the submit button.
The edit form fields does not offer any access to the submit button.
Best,
Barbara

Mobile Forms and Reader Extensions

Hello, everyone!
If we are working with usual PDF forms, we can apply Usage Rights to it (via Reader Extensions). So, we can create pdf form, add some rights to it, and after that send this form to our users, and they will have working barcodes, ability to import\export data and save form with theirs input.
But what about Mobile Forms?
In Forms Manager we have a .xdp template and we can provide user url to this template with PDF Render Profile. And as a result - user will see form with not working barcode (becoming grey after each input), no ability to save form and no functionality of import/export data.
So, how reader extensions can be applied to such forms?

Are you using LiveCycle ES4?
IIRC, You can probably plug your own PDF Render Profile which, in addition to render the PDF , can also apply RE to that. And then from Forms manager UI, you should be able to associate that custom render PDF render profile to your XDP.

Is there a way to submit a pdf form without redirecting my web page?

I have a fillable pdf form inside of a web page. When a user clicks on a submit button I have the pdf calling the submitform method. This redirects the web page to the url I specified inside of my pdf document. I don't want the web page to be redirected. I would like to have the pdf submitted to the server and know when I have handled the submission. Is there a way to do this?

Normally you'd return an (X)FDF in this situation. It can contain content that causes an informative popup dialog to be displayed to the user, fill in form fields, and some other things. Are you able to reprogram the server to return an FDF instead of HTML?

No way attaching files to a form without Reader Extension Server?
