Question

Insert images into interactive PDF

Hello All,

I am trying to create an Interactive PDF (forms) for users that should insert:

- Name

- Surname

- Profile picture

These information are then used to generate a badge and print it.

So far I was able to figure out the textfields and the button that runs the print() function within Javascript.

I am looking for a flexible solution that allows user to choose a profile picture on their local machines through a file dialog window (or something similar).

Does anybody know how can I do it?

Thanks

      WTF! This is all so stupid.

      The guy wants to insert an image field so his user can insert an image when the doc becomes interactive. Why should he have to go out and buy some more over engineered ADOBE crap to do this?

      This is a post that really should not be deleted since ADOBE moderaters do not bother to admit that ADOBE products are over engineered for geek heads and the simplest needs are muddled entirely.

      Clear answers to simple questions? Forget it. How about a long drawn out explanation that describes the water instead of the man drowning?

      That's if you are lucky enough to even glean a response from these people.

      Just like Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010, I need a simple developer tool that allows me (The developer) to allow the user (The client) to open up an interactive PDF and click on a button or an image area and have an Explorer window open up so that an image can be selected from that newly opened window.

      Why can't you people just fix the damn thing. You are the most expensive product on the market and Word 2007 kicks your ass on this simple and manageable tool.

      This subject is absolutely one of the most frustrating items on many people's lists of creating sleak and elegant interactive PDF files for their clients and users. Almost every thread I have read from other forums; from PC Magazine and onwards, all agree that ADOBE is slothful in responding to questions.

      C'mon ADOBE. Get off your asses and respond. Can this be done as easy as MS Worrd, or not? Or does one have to get a degree in macro-java-html code-ology just to understand your BS work around answers?

        LiveCycle Designer comes with Adobe Acrobat Pro.

        LiveCycle Designer is not available to Mac users. What solution to this problem does Adobe offer Mac users?

        You can use a Image Field in a LiveCycle Designer form.

        Look at the .buttonImportIcon() method of a button field.

        Thanks Mark. It looks that if you don't have a Acrobat Pro installed on the machine you won't be able to insert images though....

        Reader can not use this feature, but it is available to Standard and Professional. With versions prior to 9, one would need to create and add the necessary tools to import the Icons, but there would be some significant JavaScript coding or the creator would need to have provided all of the images.
