This is what I'm trying to accomplish:
Create a fillable PDF that allows people to answer the necessary questions, upload two documents, and submit the full PDF with the uploaded documents (IE: resume and letter of recommendation) to either a OneDrive file or to my email address.
I need the PDF that is submitted to the OneDrive or my email to include the actual uploaded files at the end so that I can simply rename the document and forward it on to the necessary parties. The necessary parties need to see the answered questions, then the resume, then the letter of recommendation in one PDF file.
These are the problems I'm running into:
1 - I sent the PDF to a coworker to test it, and it would not let her upload any files. She pulled up Adobe in Microsoft Edge and it gave her a message that said to press okay once she selected the file she wanted, but did not give her the option to browse for anything. There was no pop-up other than the message above. So she tried clicking on a file from her desktop and when she selected okay, it said that the file couldn't be uploaded. When I tested it myself in Adobe and not a browser, it appeared to have uploaded but the file wasn't there when I received the submitted form to my email.
I created a button to run the following javascript:
if (app.viewerVersion < 11) {
import_pre_11();
} else {
import_11();
}
2 - I was able to submit the form in "Preview" mode, but my coworker clicked on my submit button and it did not prompt anything. It was like there was no action connected with it.
I created a button to "submit form" and entered mailto:(my email address), selected the format as PDF the complete document, and hit okay.
3 - I initially wanted the Fillable PDF and any/all uploaded files to be submitted to a location on my OneDrive, but I tried to use a specific folder location and nothing appeared in that folder.
Instead of "mailto:(my email address)", I originally tried "C:\Users\(My User Info)\OneDrive -(Company Name)\Desktop\(File Folder Name)"
If I can't make it work to have it submitted to my OneDrive, I can be satisfied with having it sent to my email. However, is the rest of my goal possible to accomplish?

You cannot add pages of an uploaded document to the current PDF using a browser or Acrobat Reader.
You can only embed files as attachments (stored in the Attachments pane).
Otherwise all your problems seem to come from the fact that the form is used with Edge (which is a web browser, therefore reader of HTML/PHP files) and not directly with Acrobat Reader (which is a PDF reader software).

Personally, I think you need to abandon PDF and use HTML forms. Do NOT try to have info emailed to you directly, you need a professionally created web script on an https server to receive the files.
