Terms & Conditions PDF Agree button not working

Hi community,

 

I am a beginner but I have managed to create a T&Cs PDF using Adobe Acrobat Pro version 2024.005.20414|64 bit where I have added the Agree and Disagree buttons at the bottom. I then sent this forward to my co-worker the intention was, once the agree is pressed the full report is displayed. I have tried this myself and it works. 

 

To create the action, I added a button --> Trigger: Mouse Up --> Action Execute a menu item --> Open a file and thenlinked a file is in my local drive. Now I believe this is the root cause of the problem as my co-worker and any other recepients can't access the linked file. 

 

Do you have suggestions of how I can achieve the same result of displaying the full report only when the terms and conditions have been agreed? I have seen this done before where I have had a PDF open a full report only after I agreed to the terms and conditions. Open to any suggestions my theory is that I would need to somehow incorporate the linked file and hide it within the T&C document but unsure currently how to achieve this. 

 

Many thanks all

Attach the full report to the main PDF and point the link to it. You can use the "Go to a page view" command to do that.

If you want to be extra prudent you can even apply a file-open password to the report and only provide the password to the user once they agreed to the T&C...

Thank you very much, this actually was really helpful I attached the file to the T&Cs document but added javascript in the agree button code (suggestion of my co-worker) so now the first view is the T&Cs document, once Agree is clicked the full document is viewable. That's a great suggestion I'll incorporate password protection as an extra layer as that will help us track who's agreed to the T&Cs once downloaded too.
