Create PDF form with image (jpeg) insertion field

[romeup327]

Hello,

Currently trying to implement a PDf form with an image field, where the user loads a jpeg file from his computer into the form. Found this support page, but…

“Form filling: The Javascript function event.target.buttonImportIcon() now supports Image file types – jpg, png, gif, and tiff – in Reader. “

This does not work in computers with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC that don't have Acrobat Pro Installed. Only PDF files can be imported into the form field.

Is there any other way?

Thanks.

They need to update to the very latest version of Reader DC and then it should work.

They have (downloaded 2 days ago). And only PDF files can be imported to the image field.

What exact version number are they using?

[romeup327]

The version installed is the 2015.023.20056. Downloaded from Adobe two days ago.

I have the same issue. I'm running Reader 11.0.19.

As I mentioned above, this will only work with the latest version of Reader DC. You need to upgrade if you want access to this feature.

Thank you try67. I wasn't even aware of the distinction. The online help isn't clear - doesn't mention Reader DC...Support for Image and Date fields in Acroforms I have it working now. I can get on with developing the form I need. Regards, Ben.
