Hi! I have converted a word file to PDF and then used Adobe LifeCycle designer to design form i.e dropdowns, date fields, text field and so on.
 
I want to embed another pdf in this form. How do I go about it?
 
I have searched the forums and the internet, but it has not helped me. I'm a newbie acrobat user.
 
Thanks
 
I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional
LiveCyle Designer 8.2

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

Depends on what you mean by "Embed". You can attach a PDF to another PDF using the Attachments panel in Acrobat but you can't "embed" a PDF file in another in the way that you might with an HTML page.

If you had designed the form in Acrobat rather than Designer, you could have inserted the pages from the forst PDF file into the form.

In Acrobat, I need to attach a pdf into another pdf but creating my own button rather than using the attachment panel which creates an icon... can I do this?

To attach a file you only need to add this script to the click:Event.
  1. event.target.importDataObject({
  2.     cName: "my Attachment"
  3. });
But keep in mind, this will only work in Acrobat not in Reader.
