Using Acrobat DC 21.0, how does one go about adding an Image into a PDF form that I can populate programatically?

I have text fields that I can do this with no problem. I'm using coldfusion's cfpdfform tag to populate data. When building the form, I add the Image to the document, give it a variable name, etc, but when trying to populate it from coldfusion with base64 image data, nothing happens.

Is there a property I am not setting or a different control I should be using?

Whats the correct way to do this?

I've used Adobe LiveCycle do this previously but I've run into the same issue mentioned here when converting Adobe Acrobat. The data is there when I dump all the variable values and write the image to the browser but the image will not display in the PDF.

Hi Marcus29231603k9wr,

I am also trying to do this at the moment. Did you ever discover a solution?

Best regards

I ended up writing a a java class using apache pdfbox and calling it within CF. Works like a champ, but I need to eventually get around to rewriting it for the recent release of pdfbox.
