Add a Document upload button to a form?

Hello,
Does anyone know if I can add a button to a form that will allow the user to upload a document? Might sound crazy but it would be nice. I have a form I created with questions that would be answered in a paragraph form. This in some cases will require the user to submit another document with the form he is answering the question to. I'm thinking it couldnt happen but you just never know...... :-)
Thanks a bunch in advance.

No, you would have to create your own.

Document upload button

I cant see the document upload button in the add item pane. Please help

Are you using the FormsCentral desktop application that is part of Acrobat XI Pro?
PDF forms do not support attachments so it is not shown in the Page View. If you move the form online and switch to Web view you will have access to the attachment field.

Hi;
There is an "Attachment" field that allows a user to upload an attachment (Image, PDF, document etc). It is one of the fields on the form fields toolbar:
Make sure you are in "Web View" as opposed to "Page View" on the Design tab authoring your form to add the attachment field, the "View" setting is under the View menu and also at the bottom right corner of the page.
Here is a tutorial on the attachment feature: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1413

Add redirect to Submit button on PDF Form

I need someone that knows javascript to help me out!
I have saved the FormsCentral PDF Form locally and opened it up with Acrobat Pro XI, saved it as a copy, and then opened the new document in Acrobat Pro XI. I am able to see the javascript that the FormsCentral Submit button placed in the form.
How can I get the submit button to do what it is supposed to do (below), but then when its completed it should redirect to a different web page that I specify in the javascript code - in the SAME window, not in a new window.
The submit button javascript code looks like this:
var url = 'https://adobeformscentral.com/pdfsubmit?f=bbbbbbbbbbbb';
var qParams = '&os=' + app.platform + '&sl=' + app.language + '&spv=1';
var fIndex = url.indexOf('#FDF');
url = url.substr(0, fIndex) + qParams + url.substr(fIndex);
var charset = 'utf-8';
if (app.language == 'JPN')
charset = 'Shift-JIS';
this.submitForm({cURL:url, cSubmitAs:'HTML', cCharset:charset});
Do I need to add a location.href = "http://mydomain.com/completedpdf"; to make the current window then load the completedpdf web page? And how do I add the command to the end of this javascript?
Or is there some other javascript I should use?
Thank you for your help!

This is a question that is better suited for the Acrobat forums.

Add logic to Submit button in web form

We have created a form from scratch in FormsCentral. It has a fair bit of logic associated with questions in the application form.
Some of the logic leads to the end result that an applicant should not be able to submit the form.
The issue is, that as a web form - no matter how much logic we put up front to determine whether the applicant should continue flling out the form OR whether they can or cannot submit a form - the only option to get them out of the form (apart from Warning text "you cannot complete this submission online, please contact our call centre'.. sort of thing OR hoping that they press back on their browser OR click on another page in the website) is the appearance of the action buttons BACK and SUBMIT buttons.
This results in a partially filled out response appearing in the response table and/or the email notification etc.. causing extra work for receiver - as they need to ensure teh applicant is aware that the form submission does not constitue a successful submission.
Any options for us here in FormsCentral? (can we apply logic to the Submit button to Not Submit?)
(or is it only something that can be solved through scripting logic into buttons on an Acrobat form?)
Look forward to your response.

In a web form it is not possible as you found with skip logic, and there isn't a way I can think to accomplish that.
In PDF you could edit the script on the submit button - very carefully so as not to break submit when the form has been filled out correctly, and test it well after editing. Here is some information on editing a FormsCentral PDF: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661

Add Subform dynamically,on click of Button, in Interactive form generated by Adobe Document Services

HI,
I have an XDP file designed by Adobe Designer 7.1 with the following hierarchy of elements:
-form1(root)
--Button
--tmpForm (subform - Repeat subform for each data entry )
---ST (Text)
Now, this XDP file generates an Interactive PDF form with Reader Rights enabled by the Adobe Document Services.
On click of button, the following javascript is executed on client side:
var df = _tmpForm.addInstance(1);
df.ST.rawValue = "HI" ;
xfa.host.messageBox( "Instances" + tmpForm.all.length ) ;
On clicking the button, i get the length of the instances of the subform and the size increases on each click, but no element is added "visibly" to the pdf.
But when i try to do the same by saving the XDP file as Dynamic PDF form for Acrobat 8.0,and open it using Adobe Acrobat PRO 8.0, it works fine.
My question is,I s it not possible to add subforms dynamically in PDF's generated by Adobe Document Services with Reader Rights enabled?
Or, is there something that i am missing?
Please guide.
Thanks.

Siddhartha

Hi,
you can't change the behavior of the save button in the browser nor in Reader/Acrobat.
You can add a custom button within your form which calls a custom script from a folder level script using the browserForDoc method.
The browseForDoc methos is the only one whcih can change the name in the saveAs dialog.
Here's an example., you can run from Acrobat console.
You need to combine it with the solution from the other thread to make it work with your form.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799%232266799
var oRetn = app.browseForDoc({
    bSave: true,
    cFilenameInit: "MyForm.pdf",
    cFSInit: "",
if (typeof oRetn !== "undefined") {
    this.saveAs({
        cFS: oRetn.cFS,
        cPath: oRetn.cPath,
        bPromptToOverwrite: false

Can you move a 'Multiple Image Upload' button into the 'Update Form'?

I am able to creat and an Update form and an image upload using the "Update Form Wizard" tool and the "Multiple Image Upload" tool succesfully.
 
 The problem comes when I try to move the "UPLOAD" button inside the Update form. Right now it looks like this:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/now.JPG
 
 This is how I would like it to show:
 http://www.webritesolutions.com/Test/upload/tryingto.JPG
 
 I want to "Upload" button to go next to the "Update record" button. When I do this I get a javascript error and the "Update record" button is disabled.
 Here is the code of what I tried to do:
 
 
 
 
 
<table>
<tr class="KT_buttons">
<td>
<?php // Multiple Upload Helper echo $muploadHelper->Execute(); ?>
</td>
<td colspan="1">
<input type="submit" name="KT_Update1" id="KT_Update1" value="Update record" />
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
 
 Here is the Javascript error:

 thanks for your help.

A control can only appear once in the visual tree. So you have to remove it from the Grid before you can add it to the DockPanel.
This code will move the Border element from the Grid to the DockPanel when you click the button:
Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim border = CType(LayoutRoot.FindName("myborder"), Border)
LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(border)
contain.Children.Add(border)
End Sub
<StackPanel>
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
<Border x:Name="myborder" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2">
<TextBlock>...</TextBlock>
</Border>
</Grid>
<DockPanel x:Name="contain" Background="Yellow">
<TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
</DockPanel>
<Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Move"/>
</StackPanel>
You can try it for yourself. But please post your code as formatted text and not as embedded images if you want anyone to be able to reproduce your issue and help you in the future.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central.

How do I add a functional "submit button" to a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI ? I created the pdf form in Adobe Forms Central. It's for an online Diet Questionnaire. After people complete the form I'd like them to click "SUBMIT" and the completed form will be emailed to me.

This can be a bit confusing because Acrobat 11 comes with the desktop app that allows you to create simple PDF forms without having a FormsCentral account. Some people find this helpful, but you need to understand that when you generate the PDF form, it is Reader-enabled by Acrobat. In order to edit the form further in Acrobat, you have to create a non-enabled copy of the form. You do this in Acrobat by opening the form and selecting: File > Save a Copy
and opening the copy. It is not opened automatically.
You can now add a button and set it up to submit by email, either using a "Submit a form" action or the submitForm JavaScript method. You can set it up to include just the form data or the entire PDF, and will want to use a mailto type URL. Submitting the form to the FormsCentral server has a number of important advantages over email (much more reliable, more secure, etc.), so you might want to consider it.
If the form needs to be saved with Reader versions prior to 11, then you will need to Reader-enable the document. In Acrobat 11 you do this by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools

How do I add a user command to a Adobe Form Button?

Hi,
I want to add a user command to a Adobe Form button, but have no idea how to do it? (Since the material I have only mentioned how to do it by using JSP pages). This is a question comes from PCR. Thanks.

Formscentral does not support forms with digital signature workflows. I suggest you see if our Echosign product meets your needs.

How do i add a submit button to a form

ho do i add a submit button to a form.

Hi;
If you are using the FormsCenral website to create a form it will have a submit button by default for the HTML (web) form and also by default it you are saving as PDF (there is an option to create a PDF without Submit, but by default it does submit to FormsCentral).
If you are using the FormsCentral desktop application that is bundled with Acrobat XI you would have to sign into the service to create forms with Submit buttons. You can also create a form without submit button in FormsCentral Desktop and then edit the form in Acrobat XI adding a submit button using your preferred submit method such as by email.
Let me know if you need more information on either of these, it will be easier to assist knowing more about what you are using.
Thanks,
Josh
PS - if this is a question about adding a submit button in Acrobat not related to FormsCentral your question would be best asked in http://forums.adobe.com/community/acrobat

Add button to PDF Form to save file to specific location

I have a simple form that is completed daily by various supervisors. I have successfully added a button to the form to email the form which then sends the form to an email group. Now, I'm trying to add a second button to save the form to a network location. I'm looking for this to be a one-click type situation, where the button then saves the form to the specified folder on the network.
Lets call our form "Form.pdf". I'd like the filename to be "Form - date - time.pdf" where date and time are fields on the form that are completed by the user. The location will always remain the same and will be a UNC path ie \\server\share\filename
All users are using Acrobat X standard when completing the forms, will be connected to the network and will have permissions to write to the file share.
This seems like it sohould be easy, but I cant figure out how to do it in Acrobat.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's only possible if you can install a script on the local machine of each
user. For more info, see this tutorial:

How to add "Add Attachments" button to PDF form in Acrobat?

Hi,
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Standard for creating a PDF form. I want to add an "Add Attachments" button to my form. Is it possible to do it in Acrobat? If so could someone please help me with the javascript? Also, if possible I would like to check the total attachment size and inform the user if it exceeds, say 10MB. The user will be submitting the form via email so I want to cap the attachment size.
I found this example, but I don't know how to view the javascript used: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3991644
Your help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Please keep the conversation in one topic. It's impossible to do what you want with Acrobat so I'm locking this thread - please wait for a response to your question in the LiveCycle forum.
