Help adding an "upload file" button to an interactive form in ID CS6

Hello, I would like to add a button for users to upload a file to the interactive form I am creating in InDesign CS6. I would like those filling out the form to be able to click a button that opens their finder/windows and then gives them the option to search through and find a file of their chosing. Ex: I want users to upload their logo, in file formats of .jpg, .eps, .pdf,.ai, .psd, .ind, ect.
Appreciate the help

Salah is talking about something different than you're using.
PDF created with InDesign and Acrobat Pro isn't capable of supporting uploading images into a form.
Salah may be correct, but he's talking about a different product—LiveCycle Designer. Before Acrobat Pro XI, LifeCycle Designer was included with Acrobat Pro—but ONLY for Windows, not for the Mac. It created what's sometimes called XML PDF.
However, it's now a separate product (not included with Acrobat XI), it's still not supported on a Mac, and it doesn't work when viewed on mobile PDF readers like Reader for iOS.

To the Adobe MUSE team....Have you considered adding an "Upload File" field for the contact forms?

To the Adobe MUSE team....Have you considered adding an "Upload File" field for the contact forms?

But seriously...
Is there any development being done for this? I have a careers section on our website that I have been asked to "make easier for applicants" (right now, there is a link that just opens an email). I'm going to make a full version of an application, but I would really like a way to upload resumes and CV's.
I'm going to have to look into some kind of service if this isnt something on the Muse radar. A reply of some kind would be fantastic!

Upload file button

Hi there,
What is the best way for me to add an "upload file" button to my Muse and BC e-commerce shop? I am selling personalised products where I want the user to be able to upload a photo.
Do I need a custom web app? If so are there any which already exist?
Or am I better off using a secondary provider and adding the HTML code to my muse site?
Thanks a lot,
Leo

After choosing a jpg for upload, the "Upload File" button on the organization's receiving site of does not respond. The second problem: it's impossible to highlight more that one file at a time.

Clicking the first file, holding down shift and clicking the last file doesn't work. I've tried all manner of command, control, shift combos without success. This one-at-a-time attachment problem also happens in web mail. Are these two issues related? Thanks for non-techie solutions for both issues. I have Safari 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) and Leopard.

Thanks for your response. I do have javascript turned on (not java). To answer your question,
I was trying to upload 3 jpgs to the submissions page of a visual arts website. I could only highlight one jpg at a time in the "Choose File" option, and then the "Upload File" button of the submissions page would not respond.
It's an ongoing problem with this site (I'm the only one with this issue and there are a lot of submissions). I have to send the images as email attachements to the administrator of the site. When doing this via webmail, I still the one attachment at a time problem, but the images get to the administrator. Thanks for helping.

Can only choose attachments one at a time for webmail and for entries to an art organization website. And the site's "Upload File" button will not respond, so I can't even upload the one jpg I have chosen.

I am the only one who can't upload to the submissions page. Javascript is turned on, not java, with Safari 5.0.6 and Leopard. Thanks for helping.

Upload File option nolonger in sp2010 form after editing template using infopath

Hi, I want my users of the sharepoint 2010 list to be able to upload a number of documents to list items when required.
We have 2 fields on the form, one so that a document with questions can be added, and one for a similar answer document.
Befor using infopath, the enhanced type text allowed the user to upload a file to that column. But the tab which has the upload option is now missing from the form once edited by infopath.
i don't want the users to have to upload documents elswhere on the sharepoint site and it makes the process much longer.
Also I don't seem to have the attach control on my infopath settings

Hi,
I understand that you want to upload file to SharePoint list using InfoPath form. I can reproduce you issue, after customizing the form in InfoPath, the Upload File button is missing for the rich text box. You can use the attachment control in the InfoPath
form. Since you cannot find the Attachment control in InfoPath, you can check the list settings>Advanced Settings, enable Attachments. Then customize the form in InfoPath again.
Thanks,

Help me with uploading files to jobsites

Someone help me, help me please. It seems that from my administrative account I can not upload files to any potential job sites. From any web site, the option that says, 'choose files' whenever I clique on that and try to upload the little multi-color turning circle comes on and everything freezes. However I am able to upload from my other user accounts but a lot of good that does because I do not have any saved information on those accounts. What is going with my computer, its the first time I have ever had an issue with my computer, did I catch a bug or something?

Have you successfully uploaded to this site before?
Is your site definition configured to upload to the proper
remote folder?
The error message is simply telling you the transfer did not

File browser button on Adobe Interactive Form

Hello,
We have a ZCI Adobe Interactive Form with XML-Schema-Based Interface.
There is a text field on the form with a button beside it. The requirement is that when this button is clicked, a file browser window should open up. After the user selects the file on PC, the file path should get populated in the text field.
I have tried using xfa.host.importData() in the Click event of the button. But nothing seems to happen.
Note that all other methods like xfa.host.messageBox() seem to work fine.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks in advance
Sagar

Ok, I was able to solve it.
I placed a hidden text field on the form and wrote the following JavaScript on 'Click' event.
var sFile;
event.target.importDataObject(sFile);
var oFile;
oFile = event.target.getDataObject(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.FILENAME.rawValue = oFile.path;
var cFile;
cFile = event.target.getDataObjectContents(sFile);
pa0001.Subform.filecontent.rawValue = util.stringFromstreams(cFile,"utf-8");
This will upload the file content and place it in the hidden text field. I can use this hidden text field in my Web Dynpro application.
Just came to know that the Java Script we write in Adobe is known as AcroJS! Nice one.
By the way, Blag can I give points to myself for answering my own question?

Uploading File To MySQL from HTML form via Servlet

Hello all !
I hope this is better place to ask.
I'm working on simple Servlet/Jsp application trying to hold to MVC pattern and got stuck on uploading file to MySQL db.
Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
1) client submits a JPEG image via a simple html form on a webpage.
2) JPEG is put into a database table, column field of type BLOB.
3) Servlet processes the request, gets a connection to the db and inserts the image into the table.
4) after that user is able to retrieve an image from db and display it in JSP page.
This is pretty much the same task Angela was trying to do here:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=667597&messageID=3905449
I could use her snippets if i knew what is what and decided to figure out this myself. Aftet some investigation i found out that i need to import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;which i found here: http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/
what am i driving at ?
-----------------------1-----------------------
After first line of code
boolean isPart = FileUpload.isMultipartContent(request);netBeans 5.5 beta2 with bundled Tomcat 5.5.17 underlines this with warning saying that
org.apache.commons.fileupload.FileUploadBase
has been depreceted
is it a reason for concern ?
-----------------------2-----------------------
Is it actually good idea to store images in db as blob ?
what about large ammounts of text ?
thank you
-Dominik

is it a reason for concern ?Yes.
You should take a look at the method in the documentation and find out exact reason for depricating it.
If it is depricated becouse they going to remove it in the future you should use the new alternative method becouse if you use the old method your app will not work in the future releases of the API.
If it is depricated becouse it is not safe to use the method you should clearly understand the risks involved in using the method and see if that can give you any trouble in your project.
-----------------------2-----------------------
Is it actually good idea to store images in db as
blob ?I think that it is ths best option available when you want to store binary data
what about large ammounts of text ?You can use clob columns.
By the way when you store files in the database its better you put some extra columns to store the file name and file type(mime) becouse you cant directly detect those things later by just looking at the data of the file.

New! Attachments - Upload files as part of a form submission

You can now add multiple file attachment fields to your forms to collect files from respondents. Almost all file formats are supported for upload including audio and video (executable and other such file types are not allowed). All files are virus scanned by the service.
You can add field restrictions that force respondents to upload files less than a certain size, upload multiple files and/or only upload certain file formats.
All of the data and files collected are acccessible from the View reponse tab.
Files from multiple respondents can be downloaded together within a single zip file by the author. When downloading, the author has the option of prefixing a field value to the filenames so they know which respondent submitted a file.
Attachments is available to both free and paid users, however, the maximum file size of all files submitted by one respondent is 100KB for free users and 20MB for paid users. There is no limit on the amount of overall file storage for a free or paid users.
Benefits
You no longer have to manage collecting data and files using different solutions – like filling out the form using FormsCentral and sending the files via email. Files and data can now be collected using a single method and everything is stored in one central place so managing the collection process is much easier.
Ensure that respondents provide the right number, size and type of files.
Example Use Cases
Employment Application – Job applicant needs to submit their resume with their application as a single PDF or Word file.
College Admission – High school student (or parents) need to submit an essay, high school transcript and reference letters with their admission form.
Grant Application – Applicant needs to submit a proposal document and pictures (JPG or PNG) of their previous work in order to be eligible for the grant.
Client Onboarding – Financial advisor needs to collect account information and investment documents from new clients.
Request for Proposal – Procurement department needs to collect bids from competing vendors. Vendors need to fill out a form with their company’s information, provide certification documentation and a detailed proposal document.
Conference Registration – Exhibitors and speakers need to provide a JPG or PNG head shot for the conference directory that is less than 1MB in size when registering.
Change Order – Engineering firm uses a change order form to manage changes to their engineering specs. Change orders routinely include videos, images or other drawings to support the requested change.

Yes you sure can.
Right click in the cell corresponding to the attachment field in the View Responses response table and choose "Insert File" (also in the "Insert" menu). The column must correspond to an attachment type field or you will not see the "Insert File" option.
Thanks,
Josh

SUBMIT(to SAP) Button in Adobe Interactive Forms (Web Dynpro Java)

Hi ,
I m using Adobe Interactive Forms with Web Dynpro Java
But submit to SAP button is not working
i m using NWDS 7.2 with adobe lifecycledesigner 6.0
with adobe reader 9.0
when i click submit to SAP button in interactive form nothing happens and
data is not transfered into web dynpro Context
Can anybody help me out................

Hi Adi,
The evniorment and versions you posted seems to be quite scattered, make sure all are of compatible and to the lates.
Anyways this was not the reason for your problem.
Can you tace if the button click event is triggered ....?
1) when the PDF is published can you see any of the fields editable...? reason behind is generally when you create a form in ADLC it comes up in static PDF format if its so you need to make it dynamic.
I dont know if adding the webdynpro script to your form might fix.
Regards,
Sai
