Hi, I create a PDF form using ADOBE ACROBAT DC. When I add the image field, I can add an example of PNG image with transparent background.

However when I save to PDF and send to someone else so they can edit text and image with ADOBE READER DC, they tried to add PNG image with transparent background but the output is automatically adding a white background to the image... is it normal ? How can they keep the transparent background of PNG format ?

Acrobat isn't changing the PNG background, the default background of the "Image Field" is white. Change it to transparent.

If that's the case it should act the same way in Acrobat, too...

As far as the background, yep works exactly the same in Reader as it does in Pro. But the default scaling is different for some reason. There should be a line of code added to the import script to handle that.
