Creating a link in InDesign so the user can attach their file

[Tachaj]

Hello everyone, I am creating a form in InDesign and exporting it as an interactive form, I'm needing to embed a link for the user to attach their own file to (so there is no file destination path), can someone please help me? Thanks in advance, Barbara

I think you need to do that in Acrobat, I'm not aware of a way for InDesign to do it - but I'm a bit out of the loop on interactive forms from Indesign.

Thanks Eugene for your post, it appears that it's not possible, there needs to be a portal on a website to link it to. Thanks Barbara

I doubt that's doable, and even in Acrobat the user would have to be using Acrobat.

Why don't you create a proper form on your website where this would be quite simple?

Thanks Bob for your post, I'm creating a form for a client which will be downloaded as an interactive pdf from their website, they are now looking into creating a portal on their site which can be linked to in the pdf.

Thanks

Barbara
