Is it possible to add image field that will allow uploading pictures to the PDF form in browser?

Question

Hi! I have created a PDF form with the image field, and it's successfully uploading images when opening the document in at least Adobe Acrobat program. However, if open downloaded PDF form in browser tab, button is not clickable. Could you please let me know if it's possible to upload a picture to the PDF form, when it gets opened in the browser? Not all the clients have Adobe Acrobat installed. Maybe I should add another JavaScript in the Actions tab? Currently, it's "event.target.buttonImportIcon();". What about other programs for opening PDF? Would button for upload would be working there? Thanks!

That depends on the browser and what PDF plugin is used in it. If you're looking for something that will work everywhere, the answer is no, as many PDF plugins are pretty sub-par. You need to instruct the users to save the file locally and then open it in Adobe Reader (or Acrobat) for it to work properly.
