Fillable PDF with Images in Indesign?

[marketingmax100]

Is it possible to create an interactive pdf document in Indesign that I could send to someone and they drag and drop an image in and change text in a fixed box? I don't really see an option for that in the "Interactive" section.

Thanks

I’m not sure I’m totally following you. You can’t create a field where the user can add an image and text. That doesn’t work. You can add a text field in InDesign so that when a user opens the PDF, they can fill in the text in that field. InDesign doesn’t have the ability to add an Image field which would allow a user to drop an image of their choice into that field but you can add that field using Adobe Acrobat after the PDF has been created. Just go to Prepare Form in Acrobat and drag out an Image field.

Ok Thank you.

I've written a piece recently that will probably be what you're after: https://colecandoo.com/2019/02/17/extract-an-image-from-an-image-field-in-an-acrobat-form/

The link goes to my blog that features a story on the insert image field in Adobe Acrobat. Yes, it lets you insert an image, but not dig it out afterwards... without a trick (which I explain in full in the article)
