Creating a fillable form where the recipient can paste a gif or small image Along with type

I am hoping to find a way for my customers to paste images of some form into the text fields (or another type of field if required). As an example. A field placed in a date box on a calendar. The recipient could type Dad’s Birthday and grab a supplied image of a birthday cake and paste it. My fillable forms presently work great but only for type.

This is possible, use a button field as the "image field" and add this code to the MouseUp event

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

Change the Action to "Run a JavaScript" and then press Add, then paste the code.

However, this will not allow your users to paste images directly into the field. They will have to save them first to the computer as an image file, and then they'll be able to select them when clicking the button.
