Round image field in acrobat

Is there a way to create a round field that will import images? I have tried exporting a round image field from Indesign however it doesn't translate through. I am not seeing any options like this in the properties.

Hi,

Of course! You firstly import your both image and mask into 2 image fields. The mask field must be over the image one.

then here is the step by step process in images...

The mask and the images are now at the same size and same position.

You need to adjust the javascript code on the action tab to:

-this.getField("textFieldName").value = "New Value";-

    You'll need two buttons that perfectly overlap. The bottom button face will hold your image and will be set to read-only. The top button face will be a white square with a big hole in the middle creating a mask. The click action for the top button will import an image into the bottom button. 

     

    I've posted an example here.

        Hi Meg

         

        We are sorry for the trouble. As described, you want to insert a round image field in the PDF.

         

        The option to insert the round image field is yet not available. You may please use the Adobe wish form Feature Request/Bug Report Form to submit your request with the engineering team.

         

        Regards

        Amal

          Unless the PDF ISO specifications for interactive elements are dramatically changed, this will never be possible.

          No. Fields in a PDF file will always have a rectangular shape.
