Prepare Forms - Attachments

[Morries8010]

Ok, guys. 

I know you are able to attached a link/file to the current document. I know the receiver will not be able to press a button and and receive the file like that. 

THEN WHY DO YOU HAVE THE FUNCTION IF IT IS NOT WORKING??????????

I know you have to attached automatically, but how will a student know this of 12 to access it like that. I pay ACROBAT allot of money every month to let this programme make my life easier. So how do I do this?

What exactly do you want to do? 

[Morries8010]

So let me explain step by step:

So my Grade 7's needs to complete an entrepreneur project. After certain task they need to play a game and submit the decissions to me to calcualte the results and then continue with their tasks. So..

1. Prepare Form Tool

2. Insert Button Tool

3. Button Properties - Actions, Open a File, Add and then select the file to be opened. 

3.1. I also attached the file to the document on the left side. 

4. Send PDF Project

5.. Received unable the document?

Please assist URGENTLY!

What kind of file? And your workflow is backwards. You need to first attach the file to the PDF and then link to it (to the attachment, not to the file on your local computer, which is not accessible to other people).

Thanks for that. 

I did it, but the receiver is still not able to open the file. How do you link the file? Maybe that is where I am going wrong?

[try67]

Again, what kind of file is it?

[Morries8010]

It is another Fillable PDF Form to be complete and submitted.

Then linking to it is easy. Just create your link and select the action to be "Go to a page view", then when a floating window appears with the "Set Link" button open the attached file and then click that button, and you're done.

However, it's important to know that if the file is going to be used in Reader the users won't be able to update it as an attachment. They will need to save it locally as a separate file if they want to be able to save what they filled in the form fields.

I think I am frustrated. 

DO you have Team Viewer where you can show me. As I am so tired of this. 

Your answer seem simple and perfect, but I am unable to se what to do?

[try67]

Yes, but you should be careful giving out your email adddress and asking strangers to take over your computer...

What exactly were you not able to do in my instructions?

[Morries8010]

Hi there
I have done it exactly what you said, after emailing it to the receiver, they are still unable to open the link, although it was attached to the Master PDF?>

[try67]

What app did they use? Can you share the file with us? You can attach it to the original message using the tiny paperclip icon at the bottom when you edit it, or upload it to a file-sharing website (like Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe Cloud, etc.), generate a share link and then post it here.

[Morries8010]

I dont think you understand. I am going to try and explain it again. 

I created a project that needs to be completed by my Grade 12 students - Business Studies. Master PDF. I created in on Prepare Forms. There is 14 TASKS to be completed within the Master PDF. Once they have completed the full project will it be submitted to me for marking. 

We play a business game between the tasks. SO yet again i created a PDF Game Sheet - Attachement PDF which they play after task 3, 7, 12 and 16. So After task 3 I attached the PDF link of the game unto the Master PDF, but when I email it, the receiver is unable to open the PDF Game SHeet. 
If you give me your email adress then I can easily show you with a video
