Correct answer Steve Werner

In Acrobat Pro, you can edit a button field which allows you to select an image (usually a PDF) for the button. This can't be done in InDesign.

Ask in the Acrobat forums or read Acrobat Help.

Thanks for the quick reply. What I'm trying to do is create a form where someone in our warehouse can insert a photo of a product as well as a photo of the FDA Nutrition Facts panel for each product. The images would most likely be from a cell phone so they wouldn't be .pdfs. Any idea if you think this might work?

That wouldn't work because you can't get a full version of Acrobat on a phone. You would only have access to the mobile version of Adobe Reader. It can be used to fill out forms but not do that kind of creative feature.

Again, you might want to ask in the Acrobat forums.
