Attached photo to indesign form?

Hi,
I want to design application form with indesign cs6. My problem is how i can allow the user to include your photo in the form.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Whenever I have done this, it is via creating or finishing the form inside of Acrobat and or LiveCycle. Don't know of a way to do so directly in ID...

Is it possible to attach photos to a form prior to submission? For example, if I have an employee in the field completing a property inspection, can photos of the property be submitted along with the form?

I have to inspect properties for my business and have created a form that describes the condition of the property. This form is great for my agents in the field, however, it would be really great if they could attach photos of the property to accompany the submission. Is this possible? Can it be considered on the wish list?

Hi,
Yes, you can create a file attachment field in the form and have your employee upload the pictures.

Attach Photo in formmail.php

I have created a form with name, phone, email, message and attach photo. When I fill out the form and email it back to me everything but the attach photo works. A friend told me that I'm trying to handle the photo attachment like the other fields and it won't work. Unfortunately he didn't have an answer for what would work. I've pasted the formamail.php file in question below. I want to be able to allow users to attach up to 8 photos. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Is it possible to attach photos into calendar activities?

Is it possible to attach photos into calendar events? I would like to attach a phot to events that I have entered into my Calendar. Such as, if I were to get into an accident and would like to attach photos of damage, insurance info, other driver, etc

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

Trouble attaching photos....

Hello,
I am having an issue in being able to attach photos to emails.
When using Mail, if I choose to attach files (photos) to the email, the following dialogue box appears (as expected!):
However, there is no way to browse through and select different photos as required. Instead, I tried to select 'photos' from the Media location in th eleft hand menu. Again, another dialogue box, slightly different this time:
It says to open iPhoto.... but even when it is already open, the photos do not appear in the list as it suggests they should.
I appreaciate there are other ways of attaching photos, but they arent as staright forward as far as I know! And this is quite frustrating!
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks in advance....
Regards
Ian

That's not how you find the photos in an iPhoto library to add to an email. Use the Media Browser that's in the new mail tool bar.
If it's not there then go to the View ➙ Customize Toolbar menu and add it.
Or, after setting up Mail as your email client in iPhoto's General Preference pane,
select the photos you want to email use the Share buttons and select Email
For more info on accessing photos in an iPhoto liblrary see this User Tip by Terence Devlin. It is the best treatise on How to Access Photos (for use outside of iPhoto): How to Access Files in iPhoto
NOTE: you should not access the photos in the iPhoto library from the Finder as you have in your screenshots. That can easily cause damage/corruption to the library.

Using Firefox 4.0 sometimes I can attach photos to email and most often the Attach feature doesn't work. How can I fix this?

I have Firefox v4.0.1
If I restart my laptop or my Desktop, both with MS OS, my email, AT&T Yahoo, Firefox browser, will allow the attach feature, for photos to work for a few photos. The when I click to attach another photo, nothing happens. At first I was trying to attach several photos at once. That didn;t work at all. Then I tried attaching one at a time. I thought I had solved the problem because that will work if I retart first. But then not. This is a problem that could make me go back to using IE. I need to be able to attach photos! By the way, I didn;t have this problem before I upgraded to v4.0.

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I am currently having trouble with an attached PDF fill-able form created in Acrobat being non savable in Reader

Hello, I was wondering if you would be able to help me out?
I am having trouble with my attached PDF fill-able form, I am creating a form that has a limit of one page so in order for more room in a certain field I have added a Hyperlink to an additional fill-able(secondary) form within the Parent document (primary fill-able form. The secondary form is inserted as an attachment into the Primary form. My problem is when I open this document up in Adobe Reader, the Primary fill-able form is savable but the attached Secondary form for which the hyperlink leads to is non-savable and is a must print only. Is there a way to make the Secondary form savable as well within the same document? or is there another way I could execute what it is I am trying to achieve?
Trying to save other as extended reader has not worked, also if I save the attachment file as an extended reader first I am unable to attach a return hyperlink back to the Parent document,
Help would be greatly appreciated please and thank you!

I can't say for certain without looking at the actual PDF but it does appear that they created one large text box over multiple lines. For a fillable form it may have been smarter to remove the lines and create a box with smaller text that supports multiple lines.
At any rate, nothing you can do about it with the free Reader (and depending on the security, maybe nothing with Acrobat either.)

I need to add an attachment to a pdf form from the SBA it is OIC_TABS_NGPC_nl.pdf

I need to add an attachment to a pdf form from the SBA it is OIC_TABS_NGPC_nl.pdf

Do the people who made the form SAY you can add an attachment? If not, do not consider it. The form will probably be read by a computer, so it will only look in the form fields provided.

Cant attach photos to email since i got iOS 8

I uploaded iOS 8 when it came out. Since then I have been unable to attach photo's to emails.

Same here also. IOS and all apps up to date. Gen 2 iPad. Will not attach photos in webmail for Hotmail, gmail or Yahoo mail.
Nothing. They all act like they are attaching the file but just sit and the status icon just spins, and spins, and spins.
Before IOS 8, there never was a problem....Makes me glad I'm using and Android phone.

Cant attach photos to email after "upgrade" to Photos...why?

HI,
So recently Apple updated (hijacked) my iPhoto app on my computer with their "new and improved" Photos software. While is good to have some long needed features like a useful file system, I seem to have lost some core functionality. I use Outlook as part of Office for Mac and can no long attach photos to emails. Yes, I know Apple and Microsoft hate each other and neglect if not sabatoge each other's stuff, but attaching a photo/image to Outlook email seems to be basic functionality Apple left out.
PLease discuss this and let me know if I'm missing something simple or how I might be able to fix this major problem. Otherwise how do I downgrade my software to the last iPhoto version so I can once again send an image over email.
i Realize that Apple may not have done this intentionally, but I never volunteered to be a beta tester for their new software. Apple is niave if they think people don't use MS Office on Macs. BTW, I have 3ipads, 3 macs, 2iphones and just purchased 4 watches...I hope there is an easy fix for this.
THanks!
Jeff

Nothing was hijacked. iPhoto is still on your Mac in the Applications folder. It was just replaced in the Dock with Photos during the 10.10.3 installation. If you were running iPhoto 9.6.1 you can still use it with your iPhoto Library.
It's MS's responsibility to update Outlook so it can work with Yosemite and Photos, not Apple's The same goes for all of the may other applications. It's the developers of those apps that must do the job. So don't blame Apple for their dropping the ball.
And remember upgrading to Yosemite was entirely voluntary on your part.
If you don't have iPhoto 9.6.1 then you can get it by following Terence Devlin's method in this post:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

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.

Here is the code, thought I had put it in the first time, guess not heh. Anyway, I converted the arrayList(accountList) to a String so that I could see the that element I am trying to index is in there, which it is. I also checked the file that i'm populating the arrayList from and it also has the element in it.
public static void getAccountNumbers() {
          accountList = LoadStoreAccounts.readCollectionObject();
          accountInfo = accountList.toString();
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, accountInfo);
          acctNumIndex = accountList.indexOf(accountNumber);
          acctIndex = String.valueOf(acctNumIndex);
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Index of accountNumber    is: " + acctIndex);
