Older version of Adobe - forms, buttons, etc.

New Here ,
Feb 07, 2022 Feb 07, 2022

I have an older version of Adobe Acrobat Pro Version 10.1.16.13.

I have a PDF document and I'm trying to do the following things:

-Create a button where users can upload an image (I don't know which action to use).

-Create a button where the user can save the PDF after making changes on it. Initially I used the action File>Save As> PDF and it worked when the PDF was opened on my computer but not when it was open on a browser. So I tried File>Create> PDF from Web Page but that didn't work on the browser either.

Any thoughts?

- Image field: Add a button field and set its Layout setting to Icon Only (under the field's Properties, Options tab).

Then go to the Actions tab and as the Mouse Up action add a comment to run the following JavaScript code:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

- You can't control how the file will be displayed in a browser. It's likely it will be using non-Adobe software, in which case all bets are off. For best results instruct the users to download the file and then open it directly in Adobe Reader, instead of in their browsers.

The image one worked! Thanks! One question... it automatically opens up available PDF files for users to upload. Is there a way to make it so that it automatically opens up only available image files? I feel users might not know to manually select "PNG" or "JPEG" to select available image files. It's an extra step I'd rather avoid for them.

No, sorry, not possible.
