Attach files to a pdf with Adobe LiveCyle Designer 7.1

Hi, I need to add a button to a form so that it allows me to attach archives to the pdf, somebody knows if this is possible and in that case since it becomes?

In my case I have a drop-down list of files with preloaded filenames to attach. Here is the code that works for me on a click of button.
var selectFileName = form1.subform.DropDownList1.rawValue;
if (selectFileName != "Please Select") {
var doc = event.target;
doc.importDataObject(selectFileName);
var MyPar1 = doc.getDataObject(selectFileName);
var filename = MyPar1.path;
After you click the button it open a windows dialog box asking you to choose the file and adds the attachment to the attachment pane in runtime. To view the attachments simply view the attachment pane in runtime after you add the attachments.
Good luck,
SekharN

Attaching files to a pdf in Adobe Reader

Hi
I found these instructions on the web on how to attach a file to a PDF document, however, when i get to step 3 (underlined in the instructions below) "Click the "Add" button at the top pof the attachment navigation panel to open the "Add Attchment" dialog box.
I do not see an "Add" button available.
I want our users to be able to open our forms and attach scanned documents onto the PDF form in order to submit documentation related to their benefits. Why do I not see an "Add" button?
How do I get an "Add" button. The version we are using is Adobe Reader 9.3. The instructions below are for Adobe 8, but if this can be done in Adobe 8, then i can't imagine it can not be done in Adobe 9.3?
Thank.

How to Attach a File to a PDF Document
By an eHow Contributor
I want to do this! What's This?
You can easily attach files to your Adobe Acrobat PDF document by using the attachment navigational panel. This panel allows you to quickly attach any type of file to your PDF document if you need to send a corresponding file along with your PDF document. Find out how you can utilize the power of Adobe Acrobat by attaching other files to your PDF document.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Things You'll Need:
Adobe Acrobat 8
Start Adobe Acrobat, and open a PDF document to which you would like to attach an additional file.
Choose the "View" menu, point to "Navigation Panels" and click to select "Attachments" so a checkmark appears before the selection and the attachment navigation panel opens at the bottom of the screen.
Click the "Add" button at the top of the attachment navigation panel to open the "Add Attachment" dialog box.
Use the "Look in" drop-down list and click on your computer files in the "Attach a File" dialog box to browse to find the file you have saved and want to attach to the open PDF document.
Click to select the file you want to attach, and click the "Open" button to close the "Add Attachment" dialog box and add the file to the attachment navigation panel. The file is now attached to the open PDF document and will be included any time the PDF document is opened or emailed.

Hi Graffiti
Collaboratively some co workers and I figured out a roundabout way to attach files in adobe reader (not the full blow adobe acrobat reader).
Via Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I created a blank form with the "comment/mark up" tools enabled. Then I merged that file with the other PDF form that was formatted with fields, radial buttons etc.
I had to create the blank form for the attachments separately because if I tried to enable the "comment/mark up' tool on the form with fields and radial buttons it disabled the fields.
Once created separately and then merged the functionality worked. Does that make sense?
The comment markup tool then allowed me to attach files via the "attach file as a comment" option.
With all that said.... I would like to know if this functionality works in all versions of Adobe reader and if not at which level it will not.
In addition, is there a way to make sure that the "comment/mark up tool bar" automatically populates when the form is opened. This would be helpful, as otherwise will have to walk our users through additional steps.
Do you have any ideas???
Thanks for your feedback!

Extracting Embedded Files From a PDF with Adobe.APS

I'm not sure if this needs to be here in security or if it needs to be in another forum, so if an admin feels it needs to move to a different forum, feel free to.
The situation I am in is that I get about 100-150 pdf's a day that I need to extract an embeeded file from. Right now this is a completely manual process and is very time consuming. What I have been trying to do is automate the process of extraction.
The issue I am running into is that the files are encrypted with Adobe.APS, and so my java code won't handle the security, and I can't find any other software that handles Adobe.APS.
I was wondering if Adobe had a product that could do this, or if there was an API that could handle this. I can perform the extraction on a platform of any flavor (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc...).
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks.

In my case I have a drop-down list of files with preloaded filenames to attach. Here is the code that works for me on a click of button.
var selectFileName = form1.subform.DropDownList1.rawValue;
if (selectFileName != "Please Select") {
var doc = event.target;
doc.importDataObject(selectFileName);
var MyPar1 = doc.getDataObject(selectFileName);
var filename = MyPar1.path;
After you click the button it open a windows dialog box asking you to choose the file and adds the attachment to the attachment pane in runtime. To view the attachments simply view the attachment pane in runtime after you add the attachments.

preview pdf files in the desktop with Adobe Reader Touch
.. is it possible?

Windows Store apps (including Adobe Reader Touch) do not offer the preview capability in the desktop environment. That's just how Microsoft has set up. So you need traditional desktop apps.
Because your operating system is Windows 8 (not Windows RT), you can find a lot of desktop apps that are compatible with Windows 7 and 8. (For Windows RT, only built-in Microsoft Office products are available for desktop apps. But that's not the case here.)
You can download Adobe Reader XI (which is also a free PDF viewer) from the following Adobe Reader download page
http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
and install it on your Windows 8 desktop. (Note for Windows RT users: Adobe Reader XI is not compatible with Windows RT.)
In case you have any questions about Adobe Reader XI (desktop app), you can visit the Adobe Reader forum.

Attaching files to the PDF

Hi guys,
I would like to add attachments to the PDF form. I found some tutorial using the menu item with the following code:
try
app.execMenuItem("AddFileAttachment");
catch(e)
xfa.host.messageBox("Cannot add an attachment: " + e);
This works fine but not in the Acrobat Reader. For my business case the following two options can be possible:
a) using the attachment functionality of Acrobat (e.g. using the menu item)
b) transporting the binary data in the XML content of the PDF form
To a)
Is there another programmatical way to attach files to the PDF supported by the Acrobat Reader?
To b)
Does someone of you know how to read the binary content of a file using Java Script and adding it into the data XML? With this solution, the data can be extracted using the Adobe Document Service. Would be a fine solution.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,

How to attach files to a .pdf

hi!
i have a question regarding the atachment of files to a .pdf.
i am a dentist specialising in implants and working in different practices.
Unfortunately this comes with several problems.
1. There is no dentist software which deals with the needs of implantologists. instead of ready made forms where i can put in values i have to write everything important using a simple texteditor whic is built into the practice software.
2. as dentist software works on a server client principle and every client license has to be paid seperately i don't have a clinet on my laptop (the softwares are usually windows programms anyway) and even if i had because it is server client i would have to do all the work in the surgery which wouldn't work as i will have to analyze models at home and other things like this.
i started designing forms in illustrator for me to use and to scan into the practice software
then i put al the forms together in one pdf
now i added text fields to the pdf that i wont have to print anymore and can import a copy of the pdf into the software of the practice.
my next step would be to attach files to the pdf.
i am dealing with different filetypes (raw data from my camera, tiff files from the xray maschine and dicom files from 3d scanning units). it would be great if there wasa way to make my pdf being able to attach files to it. there is no need to be able to display the files (i doubt that acrobat is capable of displaying raw or dicom anyway) i just want to store them with the pdf and if necessary export them from the pdf again that they can be watched in the applications that support this kind of filetype. if this was possible i could basically take the whole case home with me and after preparing just have one pdf which i import to the practice computer which contains all data.
is there any way to do this? it would be great if i could creat a pdf which allows me to do this with an acrobat reader so there would be no need to take my laptop to the practice.
thanks for the help!
best regards

Can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X

I can't open pdfs with Adobe Acrobat X. I get this message:
Warning: Distiller will not process .Log, .PDF or .JDF file extensions
What do I need to do to be able to open .pdf files? I could open them previously.

What are you getting the message in response to? Was this a creation of a PDF that resulted in the message? What are you using Distiller for? Distiller can only open PS and EPS files for processing to create a PDF.
PDF files are opened in Acrobat. For opening PDFs, Distiller has nothing to do with the opening. So I really have no idea. It sounds like you may just be having a creation error since you mentioned a log file. If you were creating a PDF, have you checked the LOG file for the errors? The log file is usually located where you were going to create the PDF, but is created as Distiller processes the file (part of the general Acrobat creation process) and is deleted if successful.
If you were trying to create, go back to the original application and print to file with the Adobe PDF printer. Then open that file in Distiller to create a PDF. Any errors will be shown in the window and an indication if the PDF was created or not.

Converting excel 2013 to pdf with adobe acrobat 9

Populate a PDF done with Adobe Livecycle Designer

I have a pdf from an institution and I have been asked to populate it directly with data saved in an excel file. I have found that the pdf was done with adobe livecycle designer and with that program I can see the name of the fields in the form.
The pdf can be found in:
https://sedeelectronica.bde.es/f/websede/content/SPA/Form_TRA_clientes.pdf
I have thought to use a VB macro in the excel file to populate the pdf. I have been searching on Internet but by now, I am only able to read the values of the fields, but I can't change them. I know that the code below doesn't work with XFA Forms, but I have read a lot of documentation and I can't find anything else.
Here is the code:
Set gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.app")
Set avDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
If avDoc.Open(FileNm, "") Then
   Set pdDoc = avDoc.GetPDDoc()
   Set jso = pdDoc.GetJSObject()
jso.Getfield("FrmSolicitudTransferenciaEuros[0].FormContent[0].ordena nte[0].datosOrdenanteExterno[0].ordenante[0]").Value = "new value"
    pdDoc.Save 1, FileNm
    pdDoc.Close
End If
avDoc.Close (True)
Can anybody write an example explaining how to do that with XFA?
Thank you in advance.

You might want to instead use an XML schema to map cells in your Excel spreadsheet to fields in your form. Then you would just export the XML data from your spreadsheet and import it into your form to populate the fields.
That should get you started. Refer to Excel and LiveCycle Designer documentation for further details.

Please advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.

Hello,
Where is the button animation in Acrobat Pro DC?
Can you give me advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.
I have Acrobat PRO DC .
Thank you.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch" does anyone have a way to fix this?

Having trouble opening a pdf with Adobe...keep seeing an error sign "acroExch" does anyone have a way to fix this?

Hmm, "Use Adobe Reader" should launch the PDF outside of Firefox in the stand-alone Adobe Reader application, so seeing it in a tab is something of a puzzle.
Could you check your version of Adobe Reader? For Windows 7, you normally would have the Reader XI series (Reader 11), which has had several updates. From inside Adobe Reader, you can use Help > Check for Updates to make sure it's current.
In Firefox, could you check your Adobe Acrobat plugin version or possibly versions? You can view that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. If you find multiple versions, this can cause problems and may need to be cleaned up manually (post back on that for suggestions).
Sometimes, the settings file which stores those download handler preferences becomes corrupted and there's not much else to do than to rename or remove that file and let Firefox rebuild it.
To do that, open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a new window (Windows Explorer window) listing various settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Start Firefox back up again and "PDF Files" should be back to their default setting of "Preview in Firefox". Try changing that to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" and test to see whether there's any improvement.
