Confirmation of Attached File for Adobe Forms

Assuming your attachments (Data Ojects) have different names (not file names), enter the following script:

var num;
if(!this.dataObjects){num=0}
else
(num=this.dataObjects.length)

// Your attachment script goes here

if(!this.dataObjects || num==this.dataObjects.length)
{app.alert("No file attached.",1)}
else
{app.alert("File attached sucessfully.",1)}

Another way is to force the attachments panel open at the beginning of the script so the user can see the attachments:  

this.viewState = {overViewMode:7};

or do both.

I think that would depend on how you customize and distribute the form.

If it's a "blind" form, in that it isn't pre-filled with custom information for a specific recipient with security protections that would affect troubleshooting before it's sent and acknowledged by the recipient, I'd just open the file myself on another computer and confirm it functions — and contains — what I expect it to have. Then I'd fill it out and submit the form back, confirming I could get the results I expected back from form recipients.

In fact, I'd recommend it for testing any form you create and send out. It's a lot easier to fine-tune the PDF form process in-house, then ship it, than it is to send it out, then have to re-send it because it didn't work as expected. You can always delete the control responses to the form you use for testing before you send it out for response(s).

Hope this helps,
