I created a form but need the users to be able to paste and size illustrations.  These will be before and after line drawings. It doesn't appear the Acrobat Pro supports this. (Adobe Acrobat XI Pro) Any ideas

You should be able to this with the Edit Tools. But Acrobat is a very poor authoring tool and it is best to get all the context text and images needed for a form set before adding the form fields. Most likely you will not be able to allow users to do this. It is possible for users to add images stored as a PDF file to a button form but that requires the user to create an image as PDF file and there will be no resizing and placement adjustment without some advanced scripting.

Thanks for the response. I had the problem initially with a form produced by someone else. When I created an identical form in Excel and created a .pdf form in Acrobat I found that I couldn't cut and paste in it either.  Afterwards I discovered that I could use the "add image" on my form but it didn't work in the original.

Thanks again...
