Placing Images: Fill Frame Proportionally vs Fit to Frame Proportionally

I need images to "fill frame proportionally" vs the current option of "fit to frame" proportionally. If my client places a horizontal image into the vertical frame that I've put into the form, the image fits the frame horizontally rather than filling the frame to the top and bottom (and cropping off the sides).

Does anyone have a script that could make this happen? Or way to resize images as they're loaded into the form?

Appreciate any help I can get on this one!

    It is all the more bizarre that it has been for years that this possibility is requested by the users…

    I'm disappointed that so far no one has offered a solution. It's bizarre that Acrobat would not have a simple solution to this type of problem.

    In Acrobat you can change the size of the button.

    I need images to "fill frame proportionally"

    It's not possible in a PDF form field button.

    Why not? You can tell it to scale proportionally and fit the bounds of the fields.

    A drawing is better than a long speech: try "fill frame proportionally" vs "fit to frame proportionally" in InDesign. Use a square box and a rectangular image: you will quickly undestand why.

      Why do you need a script to do it? Just set the properties of the button field to be the way you want...
