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

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

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?

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
