How to attach a file and link to it from my PDF
The document I'm creating is a PDF. I want to attach a PDF form (file) to my PDF, and create a link that opens the attached PDF in a new instance of Acrobat Reader. Anyone been doing that? I don't see anything about it in the help or the forums. Thanks!

Flare currently doesn't have a way to incorporate a PDF into a generated PDF, but you can submit a feature request if that would interest you - https://www.madcapsoftware.com/bugs/submit.aspx
i think the only other way to do this would just make a hyperlink to the separate PDF form and make sure it is saved somewhere that users can access (on a webserver, for example).
another adobe acrobat-related solution would be to add the PDF form to the end of your first PDF file after you generate it. there may be Acrobat procedures for how to make a hyperlink open in another instance, but that wouldn't really be Flare-specific.
