Hi!

I have a client who need to print 6 images in a specific layout that i made.

Is there an easy way for him to print them without using any editing software, and being able to change de images?

    In Acrobat, you can create image form fields that might do what you need.

    Maybe, the easiest way is that you create 6 PDFs from Illustrator with that images. In this way, the client just print the files.

    In my ears your request is a bit confusing.

    Particularly, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "Is there an easy way for him to print them without using any editing software, and being able to change de images?"

    Can you clarify a bit?

    The client need to make daily prints of differents images in a layout that i made in Illustrator. I'm lookin for a way for him to be able to replace the images and print them without using editing software. So i was wondering if it was possible and how, to create a PDF that has images linked to it and he only hace todo change the name and location of the images. Like an .ai or .psd file.

    Sorry if i 'aint able to express myself clearly, as English is not my native language.

    Thanks evrybody for the awnsers!

    If each image is on a separate layer, you can use Acrobat to turn on/off layers for printing. Just save the PDF with the Make Layers from Top-level Layers checked in the second save dialog.

    In Acrobat

    You can drag jpg, tif, pdf, .png, .ai

    Unfortunately you cannot combine .psd files

    You don't need javascript. Since at least Acrobat Pro 11, there's been a specific form field type for images. All the user has to do is click in it and browse for one.
