Replace images in Adobe Acrobat Reader

[Borre_Pablo]

Hello everybody, i was wondering how could i insert an image in Adobe Acrobat Pro, send the file to a client, and then he can easily replace the image in Adobe Acrobat Reader, just like what happens in this youtube video from minute 1.37: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sepWWYfBMo

thanks!

You can do that with a button field set to have an icon. Then as the button's MouseUp action enter this code:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

Select the "Run a JavaScript" command and then paste the code I provided in the window that opens.

So I added 'Run a javascript' and 'event.target.buttonImportIcon();'

When I enable the form for Adobe Reader form filling, and open in it in Reader, it only allows adding PDFs. Is there a way for the user to add .jpg images?

Use the latest version of Acrobat Reader DC.

Thank you, Bernd.

I used Acrobat DC version 18.009.20050 and added a new 'add an image' button. Saved, then saved as to enable for Reader. Opened in Reader, and it still only lets me add a pdf image.

What version of Acrobat Reader?

[Vira V]

XI 11.0.01

[try67]

You need to use Reader DC, preferably the latest version available, to be

able to select non-PDF files as the image.

[Bernd Alheit]

Version XI can only use PDF files. Use the latest version Acrobat Reader DC.

Excellent. That worked. I did this on the mac version, does the PC version also import jpgs in as well?

[try67]

Yes, it's the same.
