I see that in previous versions of Acrobat there was an option to add an "upload image" field. I have looked all over it appears that option is not available in the latest version of Acrobat using the "Form Prepare" tools. Does anyone know how to add this field. I want my student to be able to upload an image file (jpg, png, gif). Thank you!

Click on Tools - Prepare Form and then click on "More" at the right side of the window and then on "Revert to Acrobat Form". In the future, do not tick the box that says "This document requires signatures" when creating the form.

An "image field" is really just a button field with the icon option selected as the layout and a simple script attached to its MouseUp event:
event.target.buttonImportIcon();

Thanks for getting back to me! I have hope I can figure it out. However, I'm not sure where to select the icon option or set the MouseUp event. Any chance you can elaborate a little for me? Thank you so much in advance.

The box I would like to make an image file is the large box at the bottom title "artwork". Any help is much appreciated.

Assuming that's a button field, right-click and select Properties. Under Options you'll find the Layout property and under Actions the MouseUp event.

Thank you that helps to know what to do once I get the correct field type. This is the icon/feature that doesn't seem to be available to me, one I see in tutorials. I don't see the option to add a "button" or "image" field. Attached is a screenshot with the field icons I have. None see to accommodate a button. Does the new Acrobat call it something else?

Thank you, I now have my form working with a box where my students can upload their own image file. I appreciate your help!
