    If you need to have a document online so that users can download and the upload on the same form:

    1. First you need to have your document hosted online. There are several free services to host files online.

    2. Copy the document's url.

    3. Then you can add a text field, add the text that will contain the hyperlink (i.e.: "click here to download your file").

    4. Select the download text ("click here to download your file") and select the insert/edit link icon:
