I am using Acrobat 8 Pro and LiveCycle Designer 8.0
Is there a a way to write a script to allow the user to attach an image file? Could this image file then be collected along with the form data when the document is submitted via email? This would be for users opening the doc using Reader.
-What I am trying to accomplish is for a user to receive the document, answer a few survey questions, and click a button to attach their own image file to the doc. Then when they hit submit, the form data is returned along with the image file. I would rather add a scripted button than rely on the user to use the built in attachment method.

I am trying to do this same thing. I see Thom's answer, but I can't find where to do this aT. Thom said it can't be done for LiveCycle forms - does this mean you have to recreate the form somewhere else, or just that you can't do it on your form from LiveCycle?
Also, sorry to sound so lost, but what is Acrobat JavaScript, is it a program? I can't find any information on it. I am also using LiveCycle and Acrobat Pro 8...and I am having problems with being able to have an attachment button.

I figured out how to do everything Thom said to do but when the Open Dialog box is displayed and I choose a file, the data is not attached...the field does show the file name, but that's it. Did anyone else get this to work?

The file is not attached to the PDF. This methodolgy is for attaching a file to the data sent on a submit. The data format must be FDF.
Attaching a file to a PDF is a different thing.

Hi Thomp,
I'm unable to see the whole link you provided. It got cut off due to its length. :(

Nevermind I found it in the source code :)
Here are the steps:
1. Create a text field
2. In the Properties dialog check
- Scroll Long Text
- Field Used for file selection
3. Add this "MouseUp" Script to the field
event.target.browseForFileToSubmit();
When the field is clicked a File open dialog will be displayed. The selected file will be submitted with the form data.
