I am recreating this form which was originally made in livecycle.  As you know I can't edit the form and see the coding in the backend in Acrobat (i don't have livecycle)

How to i get the button 'add image' to insert an image which also pushes the rest of the rows down as below:

How do i get the preview button to enlarge the image as below which pushes the rows further down.

Converting an XFA form into a regular Acroform may, or may not, be possible. Depends on the form. If it is true dynamic form, meaning that is contains repeatable and/or growable fields, then no, it can't be done, because AcroForms do not have these properties.  The second part of this is that the XFA scripting model is completely different from the AcroForm model, so it doesn't matter that you can't see the scripts. They wouldn't work anyway. 

 

From what you've described, the answer is no, you can't do what you want in an AcroForm. AcroForm content cannot be moved to allow fields to appear or grow.  But, AcroForm fields and page content can be hidden and shown, and new pages can be created. So there are some dynamic features. You'll need to figure out how to convert your form to use these features instead of the dynamic LiveCycle features.
