Preparing a Form - Insert Image Field

When you 'prepare a form' in Adobe, can the image field be set to accept more than just .jpg - trying to insert .pngs but it comes up with an error. It works perfectly fine with .jpgs but it would mean always resaving images as .jpgs as the platform they are saved from only downloads them as .png. Is there a way around this?

@Yonita26029006jv5q I tried on my Acrobat Pro, and I was able to ''insert a PNG" through the 'Add Image,' with no problem. What version are you using.

Looks to be the most current version. I work for a co-operation and have the full Adobe suite which updates with every update. I can't work it out. I only get the error when trying to insert a .png

To disable new Acrobat click the menu (three horizontal lines in the top left of the window) and select 
"Disable New Acrobat".


No, that didn't work either 😞

.png is an acceptable file format for both Acrobat and Reader for this function.
