Question

Insert an image via PDF Form in a defined field ?

Dear Forum Users,

i am searching for a solution, to create a form, that our customers can fill out and upload an image (or PDF with image in it).

I already found a solution to place a button and insert the image via JS:

var s = this.getField("Button1")

s.buttonImportIcon();

My Problem is now, that our customers are using Adobe Reader and i am not able to load an image in this form via Reader (pop up is workin but no image will show up).

Can you please help me out or give me some advice ?

Thanks in advance

The only file type that can be used as the icon of a button in Reader is PDF. There's no way around it if you want the image to be embedded in the file, unless you pay a lot of money for the special rights that allow other files types.

If it can just be attached to it then they can do it using the Attach File commenting tool.

Thank you very much for the fast reply.

That sounds familiar, what i read already.

At least the image (as PDF File) won't show up, also in this case.

Thank you for your support

Did you set the button's layout as "Icon Only"?
