i set up few text fields successfully in a pdf form. i also need a field for an image. is there any way to do this? i would like to save this form and have other people fill in the text field and insert a picture.

You have to configure the button with a layout other then "Label only" on the Options tab and then use the following Mouse Up JavaScript:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

When the button is clicked, the user will be prompted to select a page from a PDF to use as the source for the button icon. Acrobat users will be able to select and source file that Acrobat knows how to convert to PDF.

I inserted a button but how do i set the action to allow a user of adobe reader insert an image. i understand they have to make the image into a pdf first.

You can use a button field for this, but Reader users will only be able to import images that were first converted to PDF. Post again if you'd like more information, or do a search for "buttonImportIcon".
