I was hoping, is there any way to upload a document or attach a document
file (PDF, PPT, etc) during the survey? I think I need to customize the
source code of the ODK collect in order to achieve that. Can somebody help
me with this.
I don't think that it is possible at the moment and changes would be
required not only in Collect but inside the xml forms itself, which means
changes in JavaRosa as well (and perhaps the validator to validate the new
form).
I would suggest a small android rest application than doing stuff other way
around.
I'm not sure how ODK Collect deals with this but if you edit the XForm and
use "type=application/*", this will work quite nicely for PDFs in Enketo
(in a few browsers, in particular Chrome on non-iOS systems). I once tested
this with ODK Aggregate and I believe Aggregate even shows a nice PDF
preview. The form will also still pass ODK Validate.
Cheers,
Martijn

ODK Collect lacks the widget to allow arbitrary file attachments (the
widget should launch OI File Manager to pick a file, then copy it into the
appropriate instances folder). XLSForm and Build would also need to
support a generic file picker type.
However, it and ODK Aggregate are otherwise designed to support abitrary
file attachments. The preview support in ODK Aggregate depends upon the
mime associations set up in the browser, not on anything ODK Aggregate does.

My guess is Shadaab wants to send documents to tablets in the field.

ODK Aggregate accepts any number of documents (media attachments) for a
form definition. You can even keep adding them. These would be pushed down
upon the next sync.

Need ODK services? http://nafundi.com provides form design, server
