If you have Acrobat DC use the Add New Field tool (under Tools - Prepare Form) and select the "Image" field type.

We are using Acrobat XI Pro.  Thanks for answering the question.  Sounds pretty straightforward if we had the right version of Acrobat!!

Have a great day!

You can do it with your version, too, it's just a bit more complicated.

Basically you need to add a button field, then go to its Properties, and under the Options tab select the Layout to be "Icon only".

Then go to the Actions tab and add a MouseUp action that runs the following JavaScript code:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

That's it, pretty much.
