Need the correct Java Script in "file upload" button

[Mary Coblan]

Hi all, I need the correct java script to let the user of the template upload files when I send the template to them, anyone have it, please?

What want you upload? Where want you upload it?

Hi Bernd,

I have a fillable form to be sent to my colleague. And after she filled out the form, she needs to attach the attachments needed to complete the form before she can click the submit button. Kindly let me know how to do that, please? Thank you for your prompt reply.

You can use this script as a MouseUp action:

var annot = this.addAnnot({
page: this.pageNum,
type: "FileAttachment",
author: "MyName",
contents: "Double-click to open attachment", attachIcon: "PushPin",
point: [500,500],
strokeColor: color.red,
});

Hello JR,

Thanks for the script it works in the acrobat program on the desktop. One last concern is when I upload the form to the Document Cloud "Create a Template", the "upload file" button isn't in there, I mean it's not visible. Please advise.

[Bernd Alheit]

It will not work when you use it at template for Adobe Sign.

Hi Bernd,

The Java Script above from JR works in my Acrobat program on the desktop. But when I send the form using the "request signature" tool, the upload button is not visible. I need my colleague to attach documents on the form itself. Thanks for your prompt reply.

[Bernd Alheit]

When you use "request signature" you use Adobe Sign.

Hey Bernd,

Does it allow the user to attach files in the form?

[Bernd Alheit]

Post the question in the forum for Adobe Sign.

[Mary Coblan]

Does Adobe Sign allow the users to attach files in the form?

[Mary Coblan]

I didn't get any answers on this in the Adobe sign forum.

HI,

This java script is working from  PC but not from mobile phone.

Because i have a Adobe Acrobat instaled in my phone but when i click on the "attachement button" it doesnt work.

Can you advise me how can it work from mobile device?

Thank you,

Acrobat Reader in a mobile device is much more limited. I doubt this is possible.

On iOS or Android you can't attach files to PDF files.

You made that look too easy.  Suppose I wanted to do something a little simplier.  Like, create a button that lets you choose the jpg/pdf and leaves a thumbnail on the box instead of a pushpin.  I will still be able to see the actual attachment as usual in the Attachments pane.  Can u help me with a button to do that?

Sorry, I'd never used this so I can't advise.
