Use the file upload control to enable file attachments to forms.  A form may be used to capture data related to another document, like a PDF or image file (JPG, GIF, TIFF).  If for example users were capturing photos related to an insurance claim, the form may capture relevant details like Date and Claim number.  A File component can be included on the form for users to attach the photos related to the claim.  Files attached to a form may be accessible by the user of the form once uploaded, and may be released as additional pages of a document.

Only image files may be included as additional pages of a document when processed by GlobalCapture.  While uploaded files are always saved as part of the submission regardless of their format, GlobalCapture can only merge uploaded files that are image based.  Administrators can control the types of files uploaded to a form using the File Pattern setting. 

By dragging a file component to a form and clicking Save on the settings panel, your form is ready to receive files.  GlobalForms is configured out of the box to accept uploads from the file component.  Administrators may wish to set minimum and maximum sizes for files attached to forms.  Size settings are found on the Display tab of the settings panel.
