There is often a need to attach documents
to online forms. What many people don’t know is that
PDF forms do support file attachments. Unfortunately, capturing
the attachments is not easy -- until now.
By upgrading a FormRouter account to support file attachments,
it is simple to create PDF forms and submit those attachments
securely to databases and MS Outlook.
Step 1:
Build a PDF form with file upload fields
Once a document in converted into a PDF,
it then can be edited in Adobe® Acrobat. FormRouter provides
live Internet based instruction and written documentation
with every account to get you up to speed.
Step 2:
Build an e-mail alert (optional)
Included in every FormRouter account is
an alert builder. One of the alerts offered is an E-mail alert.
Step 3:
Capture responses to a database automatically
FormRouter’s client tool can automatically
write online form responses securely into database or MS Outlook.
Step 4:
Extract Attachments from your database to view or save
FormRouter offers a plug-in for Microsoft
Access database that automatically extracts attached files.
If you have selected to output data to Microsoft Oulook, then
no extraction is required. Files will appear in Oulook as
normal E-mail attachments
