I need help, a customer wants to use alfresco, but only if he can upload a file inside a form (Activiti embedded in share). He doesn't want to upload it in alfresco then use it in a workflow. He wants it to automatically upload the files in Alfresco when he submit the form when he puts it in the form. I searched for a solution for it but i didn't find it. I thought a html and JavaScript would solve my problem, but i don't know if it's possible to put it inside an Activiti form. Does anyone know a solution or could help me with this issue? (the client will use share as his interface)

You can go through the workflow tutorial here if you are new to alfresco embeded workflow: http://ecmarchitect.com/alfresco-developer-series-tutorials/workflow/tutorial/tutorial.html

But the forms doesn't provide upload file option, you would have to create a custom form to show upload option.
