When I use Acrobat Pro DC to add an image field, the property page shows it is a button and not working like the image field in LiveCycle Designer which can load the image files dynamically.

Exit the form edit mode and click on the button.

Info: Acrobat and Designer creates different form types.

Thanks for the info. Is there a way to fill the image field dynamically via the .net codes?

Thanks Thom!

As for your comments "However, there is one thing you could try. Convert your image to a PDF and use that as the imported button icon. PDFs do not require any image conversion. This has worked in the past in Reader.", do you mean use this way on the form level instead of folder -level script?

Thanks,

Michael

It doesn't matter. Not including the path will allow the function to be used in a document context. Converting the image to PDF has no affect on whether the function is used in a trusted function or not. The "no image conversion" bit is important because Reader doesn't do image conversion.
