Question

Can a user insert an image (JPG, PNG or PDF) into a fillable form

I have seen in a previous forum that is possible with a button and javascript (https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1892058?q=upload%20image ) however this was limited to only PDF format. This thread was from 2015, has there been any updates to this feature since? Or a workaround. I am creating an invitation for a client where they can customise the data and would like to have it where they can insert/upload a logo. For many of these users changing an image format to PDF from say a JPG or PNG is beyond their capabilities. Help, need an answer.

This should really be like very basic stuff. Uploading an image to a form would be expected to accept common internet image formats first and foremost. And not so hard to implement - much easier than parsing the PDF, in fact.

So what gives?

In the latest version of Acrobat Reader DC you can use following image formats:

JPG, GIF, PNG, and TIF

There's no change in how this works, or a workaround. If they want to be able to insert other file formats into the file they need to have Acrobat, not the free Reader.
