Add an "Attach File" button to a PDF form.

[candicem62357049]

I need to add the ability to attach a file to a PDF form. The file type that needs to be attached would most likely be a pdf, docx, or doc (if that matters). I'm working in Acrobat Pro DC, but the form will need to work in Reader as well. I think Java Script can accomplish this, but I have no idea how to write Java.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can manually go to the navigation pane>attachments (the menu on the left side) to see existing attachments and add or delete.

OR

I made an action so that when a user clicks the attach button the navigation pane automatically opens.

1. Click on your button and go to properties
2. Go to actions
3. Add an action
   Select trigger: mouse up
   Select action: execute a menu item
4. Click "add"
5. In the pop up, scroll down and select "View>Show/Hide>Navigtation Panes>Attachments then click OK

Hi, i need to attach a vcf to a pdf so that a user can click a button and open it. I've tried everything (including the above) and it just links back to my C: drive as the location of the file instead of a file within the document. Once i distribute it the link to my drive will be broken. I've got a big pitch to a law firm in a couple days and would really like this to make it easy for them. I can't do a link to dropbox or other sites because of the strict security. HELP!
