Attaching files to pdf

Hey everyone,
I'm very new to LiveCycle and creating PDFs in general. How can I allow my users to attach files to the PDF? I would appreciate any guidance, but especially explicitness.
Thanks so much!

Hi,
If your users have the free Adobe Reader, then they will only be able to attach files to the form if the form is first Reader Enabled using the full server component LCD Reader Extensions ES2.5.
See here: http://assure.ly/etkFNU.
If all your users have Acrobat then they will be able to attach files to the form.
Have a look at an example here that demonstrates PDFs attached to a form or stored online: http://assure.ly/vRyoeQ.
If you do a search on this forum, there are more examples for allowing the user to attach files to the form, but note the restrictions for users with Reader.
Good luck,
Niall

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");

How to attach files to PDF adobe reader X

I used to be able to drag and drop attachments into a pdf. I have Adobe Reader X and I am unable to attach any file to the pdf

You can use the Attach File tool under Commenting to add files as attachments to a PDF.

Reader XI freeze when click on attached files in PDF

I am opening an encrypted (AES-256) PDF file that has an attached PDF and Excel document embedded as a file inside the PDF.
If I click on either the attached PDF or the Excel doc, Reader XI will always freeze.
This will not happen in X or 9. Yes, I disabled antivirus. Same result. I tried several different similar PDF files with embedded attachments; same result.
This issue always happens, and I have tested it on three different computers in our shop.
This problem does NOT occur in Reader X. After I upgrade to XI, then the problem always appears.
Can someone else confirm this is a bug?

Thank you... you are saying add the credit application as the last pages in the original pdf, correct?
That will probably not be what the boss wants, as I already pitched it to him.
I am not knowledgeable of the fdf and xfdf ... so I will have to read up on that.
I did try to do a tester using fdf as my choice in document type, but it did not work. I would submit via email, but the document could not open and gave me an error.
appreciate the suggestion and will read up on the different formats you suggested.

Replaced attachment and saved PDF form, after re-opening same PDF form previously attached file are missing

Hi team,
Can any one help me................!
While am trying to replace the attached file in pdf saved , when re-open again file are missing in PDF

Sorry, I do not understand what you are trying to say; can you rephrase that? Also, what was attached to what?

Can't open my attached files on my yahoo email account unless clearing all history on Firefox - this is maddening!! Help!

Everytime I want to open an attached file on my yahoo email, I now have to clear all the history including: Browsing and download history, Form and search history, cookies, and cache before I can open attachments on my yahoo mail and then I have to re-enter all my passwords, etc.
This was previously not a problem opening any attached files like PDF files or document files.
Please help!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I have tried a lot to find an app or some way in email to attach multiple of pdf files in one email. I could not find anything that sends multiple pdf file in one email and still keeping the file in simple pdf format for the recipient.

I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

I need to visualize a document attached on a pdf file on an iPad. Is there any application to do that ?

I need to visualize a document attached on a pdf file on an iPad. Is there any application to do that ?

Yes. Quite a few actually.
Starting with Apple's own iBooks App, I also see many recomendations for Goodreader, and Adobe's own PDF Reader. Just to name a few. Look for them in the App Store. iBooks and Adobe reade are free. You can also search the App Store for other alternatives.
Also for most PDF's the Mail App can open them directly.

How can I send a PDF via mail without it becoming an attached file?

Hi All!
I need to know how I am able to send a PDF file via mail, without it becoming an attached file. This means when the receiver opens the mail, he automatically sees the PDF without first having to read the normal mail text and scroll down to open the attached PDF file. Just like a spam newsletter
Also I want to know - I want some illustrations in my portfolio to be a hyperlink to a website, is this possible on a picture (not on an URL) - and if so - How?
Hope you can help me out here!
** I use Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro X 10.1.10 on a Macbook Pro 10.8.5**
Thanks,
Carlinsky

Not possible with Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process, compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
Thank you

Thank you for your answer.
What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
another one I have.
When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
default from Acrobat or any other software ?
Thank you for your next message.

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!

PDF/Attachment File Size Limitation

Question: Does anyone know of a specific upper limit on email attachment file sizes, or how to overcome them? I love that iPhone email supports viewing PDFs, and got some smaller ones to be delivered and display just fine, but when I tried to email a 10MB PDF to my iPhone it really caused a mess (first attempt locked up my iPhone and required a reset, second attempt the iPhone email client had trouble retrieving the whole PDF from the POP server). I finally gave up.
Note to Apple (hope you're watching...): Please support large email attachments, especially PDF. FYI: the 10MB PDF I was trying to push to the iPhone was in fact the iPhone User's Guide that I downloaded from the Apple web site -- too bad this "bug" prevents an iPhone user from having the iPhone User Guide on the iPhone itself, huh? Also, please consider adding password support for locked email attachments (like password-protected PDFs).

Thanks, but what sort of infrastructure are you referring to? There are 8500 rows of data for this invoice at three levels which is not large, but some fields are 240 characters long.
I'm not getting an Out of Memory type of error. In fact, I'm not getting any errors, just that there is no output. pdf-compression is set to true. What else could I check?
