I have a pdf created in LifeCycle and need for the users to be able to attach files in the Reader. I seen various samples on security settings and would like to know how to assign additional user rights so they can add attachments or any way to enable that feature.

If you need to use the Acrobat Doc object in a LiveCycle Designer form, you must adapt your code to use
the following technique of assigning a variable to the target of, for example, a click event, to access the
current document:

var myDoc = event.target;
myDoc.importDataObject("pdfAttachment");

This is necessary because the Doc object is typically referenced in an Acrobat form using “this”, as in
“this.getAnnots()” to refer to the current document. But in LiveCycle Designer JavaScript, “this”
refers to the current XML form object, not the current document. Hence the above convention is used.

Once the Doc object has been accessed, most of its methods and properties can be used in the usual
way, as in the above example where the user is prompted to add an attachment to the PDF file.

Hello All

I have a form create using livecycle and I am thinking of using attach file option to it. example this is a job application form which post on my website. Ij ust wants users to download fill and attached thier CV, cover letter etc to same form and sent to me via email.

I get alot help from Adobe forum. however those cases I need to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions server. Since it is very expensive I have no plan to use LiveCycle Reader Extensions server.

Is this can be done via Acrobat Pro 8 writer and Adobe free reader? without using LiveCycle Reader Extensions server?

I just simply wants users to attahed document and fill using adobe reader and send to me via email. total users I am looking for aroung 300+. Any one can help me please.

Here I add my email address if you could help disssg [at] yahoo [dot] com
I am bit new to LiveCycle as well.
Thank you
