Create PDF form with image (jpeg) insertion field

Hello,

Currently trying to implement a PDf form with an image field, where the user loads a jpeg file from his computer into the form. Found this support page, but…

“Form filling: The Javascript function event.target.buttonImportIcon() now supports Image file types – jpg, png, gif, and tiff – in Reader. “

This does not work in computers with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC that don't have Acrobat Pro Installed. Only PDF files can be imported into the form field.

Is there any other way?

Thanks.

They need to update to the very latest version of Reader DC and then it should work.

They have (downloaded 2 days ago). And only PDF files can be imported to the image field.
