Stefan,

It looks like Paul was able to help you out…

JC,

I’m not sure if this can be done however the new Acrobat/Reader 9.2 API for attachments might make this possible. I would imagine you would have to have a button that you click in the form guide which would execute the click event of a button in the PDF which would, in turn, execute the script to add the attachment.

For example, add a regular button to your form with the following Click event script:

if (xfa.host.name == "Flash")
{
    // executing within context of form guide (ActionScript)
    var fieldName:String = OtherButton.name;
    if (ExternalInterface.available)
    {
        var exFunc:String = "callPdf";

        var messageParams:Array = [];
        messageParams [ 0 ] = id;
        messageParams [ 1 ] = "execAction";
        messageParams [ 2 ] = fieldName;
        messageParams [ 3 ] = " ";

        ExternalInterface.call(exFunc, messageParams);
    }
}

(Note that this code depends on the current implementation of the LiveCycle FormBridge script that is injected into XFA-PDF forms rendered as form guides.)

Then place a second regular button called “OtherButton” which is hidden and has the script necessary to add an attachment in its Click event.

Finally, expose only the first button in your form guide. When the user clicks on it, it will execute the Click event of the OtherButton in the PDF which will, in turn, execute the attachment script, theoretically letting you add an attachment to the PDF running in the form guide.

Note that you will have to ensure that the PDF is rendered along with the form guide (and make sure you include the PDF when you preview as well) otherwise, the call to the OtherButton will do nothing.

Vishnu Prasath,

That sounds strange. Are you certain that those header rows aren’t also marked as “Overflow Leaders” on some subform that might break across pages?

Can you replicate the issue by creating a new form, new table, multiple rows, and no header on subsequent pages (option unchecked)?
