InDesign equivalent of LiveCycle's "Image Field" in PDF form creation?

LiveCycle has a PDF form field called "Image Field". We add this field to the PDF files we create so that our end users can select and import a JPEG image into their PDF document using Adobe Reader.
Now we would like to use InDesign to produce the same PDF form files as an alternative to using LiveCycle. Does InDesign have a PDF form field like LiveCycle's "Image Field"? We haven't found it yet.
In other words, does someone know in InDesign how to create a field in PDF forms which has the same functionality as LiveCycle's "Image Field"? LiveCycle's field works in enabled Adobe Reader files, and permits JPEG format, among others.
Thank you,
Kevin
P.S. We discovered a way to create PDF forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI with similar functionality by using JavaScript, but the Acrobat Pro created documents only permit Adobe Reader to import PDF files, not JPEG or other image formats. So Adobe Acrobat Pro XI was not a viable alternative to LiveCycle for creating our PDF files. We'd like to know if we need to rule out InDesign, too.

It's worth separating out the different responsibilities and products.
Whether a functionality exists in Reader depends on the Acrobat team. Reader, being free, is limited by design, the aim of the design being to sell copies of Acrobat. Obviously, Reader can't make PDFs or do preflighting. Less obviously, there are a bunch of JavaScript functions that don't work. Sometimes, with Reader enabling, more functions become available. (There are different kinds of Reader enabling, some of which need very expensive extra products).
Whether a form capability exists at all is largely down to the PDF specification (now an ISO standard) or the XFA specification. Adobe can choose to go beyond the specification but largely choose not to.
So, the InDesign team can make form fields, not because the Acrobat team approves, but because the way this is done is written down in the PDF Specification. InDesign _could_ choose to make XFA forms, but thank goodness that will never happen.
So, if you want InDesign forms to do something you first have to ask: can Acrobat forms to this. NOT XFA (LIveCycle forms) which are done by a different team to different rules. So far as I know Acrobat forms cannot do the sort of thing you want; that is, placing arbitrary graphics, but in certain circumstances they can place PDF files.
Why make the distinction?
- If Acrobat can make forms that do this, then so can InDesign: it's worth asking the InDesign people to do it.
- If Adobe limit Adobe Reader, there is no use asking the InDesign team to solve this.
- If Acrobat can't make forms that do this, then nor can InDesign.

No way with just the free Reader. It may be done with Adobe Acrobat.

How do I set blank data to date field in pdf form ?

Dear Sir,
I made PDF form by Acrobat X on Windows PC and then,
read the pdf form by acrobat reader on iPad.
Date field is included in the form.
The Acrobat version is 10.1.6 .
The acrobat reader version is 10.5.0 .
First, I put the wrong date data to the date field.
So, I tried to clear the date field.
I want to put the blank data to the date, but I think
there are no way to put the blank data on iPad
I would like to know how to reset the date data.
If that helps, I tried to the same thing on Android.
I could put blank data to the date field by BS key.
Sincerely,

Here is how to clear the Date field on the Ipad.
NOTE: In order for this to work that has to be another TEXT field in the PDF to get the keyboard to pop-up.
Click on Text field (this is to get the regular keyboard on screen)
Click on Date field (date spinner control will show up)
Click on SAME DATE field (spinner control will disapper)
Click on "Reset Field" on top of keyboard (date field will now be empty)
Click any where on PDF that is not another Date field (keyboard will disappear and date field will be empty)
Bingo! your free and clear.

Fields in PDF form are blank: Another Preview question...

So I get that filling out a form in Preview can create a problem where the end user cannot see the info in those fields unless they click on them. But I have some additional questions:
1. Is just viewing a PDF in Preview without making any changes enough to cause this problem?
2. Is it only Windows users reporting this problem or are Mac users having it as well (when trying to view it in Acrobat or Reader)?
Here's why I ask: We created this form but send it out to clients to fill in and return. I sometimes view these returned forms in Preview because the info loads faster than it does in Acrobat. No issues there. But with one form in particular that we received today, anyone trying to subsequently open the form in Acrobat is having a problem. It seems to be just this form that is causing the problem. I'm not sure what the client used to fill it out, but they sent back other forms that don't seem to be a problem, so it seems unlikely this one would have been filled out using a different tool from the others.
Also it appears that Mac users AND Windows users are having issues seeing the fields in this form properly filled out. Heretofore, I've only read of Windows users having this problem.
Any insight would be appreciated -- thanks!

A form has to be saved in Preview in order for it to be corrupted, not merely opened. What OS is used when opening a corrupted PDF in Reader/Acrobat doesn't matter.

How to expand multi-line fields in pdf forms?

I have a FormsCentral PDF form, which allows users to fill out the form and save as a PDF. However, after receiving the completed forms, I am unable to see all the text in the multi-line field boxes without opening them and scrolling down. Since I will be sharing several of these competed forms with a review panel, I would like to:
1) Display the entire content of the multi-line field boxes rather than having the reader scroll down, then
2) Save the completed forms so that its read-only when I send it to the review panel
I am not collecting responses via FormsCentral. I am just receiving the PDF via email.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you!

You can use a script to change the font size to Auto, which will cause all of the text to display, assuming it can be even at a font size of 4. For example, the following code can be executed in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
// Set the font size to Auto for a text field named "Text1"
getField("Text1").textSize = 0;
A script that will change this for all multline fields in the form is:
// Set the font size for all multiline fields to Auto
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
    var f = getField(fName);
    if (f.type === "text" && f.multiline && f.textSize !== 0) {
        f.textSize = 0;
This script could be included in an Action if you want to do this for a collection of forms.

Is it possible to dynamically create form fields in PDF form?

Hi all,
I would like to dynamically create object like textbox, dropdown list from xml data. For example:
When I receive following xml data:
<field name="Check Box" type="selectbox"/>
<field name="Text Field" type="textbox"/>
I want to generate 2 form fields check box and text field with title "Check Box" and "Text Field" accordingly.
Is it possible to do it in javascript for PDF form?
Thank you and regards,
Anh

You cannot dynamically create objects on the fly like that but you can create interpret the XML and create an XDP file (which is the language of the template file) then bring that into Designer and create a PDF from that.

How to make expandable field in pdf forms?

Does anyone here know how to make expandable field in a PDF form?
I want the field, originally appear to be a 1-liner, to expands when you put in more text and everything that is underneath the expandable field shifts or moves down.
pls help.
Thanks!

No, LiveCycle Designer is not included in Creative Cloud and is available only for Windows. It was included with the Windows version of Acrobat Pro before Acrobat 11 but is now a separate program and about $300.

How to collapse unused text field in PDF form

Hi all, may i know how to collapse unused text field in a PDF form. Etc, we have alot of description line for user to enter the info, but some line will be left unused, so i was wondering whether can i hide those unused text field. But when i need them, i just expand it and use it.

I don't think w/o UI Customization it is possible.
UI customization won't be a small one as it is a common wizard and used at multiple places. So it will be a huge work.

Trouble with Visible/Invisible Fields on PDF Form

I created a fillable, calculating pdf form in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, but ran into some issues, so I'm taking a stab at LiveCycle that I've never used before today. By reviewing sample template forms, I'm able to pick up the tricks of the trade, but I'm struggling with one particular field. I got it to calculate and the amount shows in the subtotal, but I don't know why I can't get the field itself to show the amount calculated.
FS1 is a numeric field where a customer puts square footage.
Based on the square footage a calculation occurs. Here is the statement:
topmostSubform.Page1.Total[1]::calculate - (FormCalc, client)
     Total[1] = 208.75
elseif (FS1 > 3600) then
     Total[1] = 154.30
elseif (FS1 > 2000) then
     Total[1] - 136.15
elseif (FS1 > 0) then
     Total[1] = 99.85
endif
When I put in 5000 in the FS1 field, 154.30 is added to the subtotal, but no amount shows in Total[1] field.
Working with properties in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 was easy, LiveCycle takes a little more getting used to, so any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
if (FS1 > 7200) then

You may have just pasted your code in a funny way but I noticed your 'if' statement is underneath the rest of your message. Assuming it is in the correct place and you change "Total[1] - 136.15" to "Total[1] = 136.15" it should work. Also just to let you know that in formcalc you can use the "$" to reference the field you are in (so you could use $ instead of Total[1] in your formula).

Problems completing fields in PDF forms

I'm using Adobe v10.1.1 (Macbook Pro 10.7.5/+8GB) and I've created a PDF form (original InDesign file) with text fields, check boxes with many of those fields linked within the same document. The document is about 100 pages and the saved file size without any input of data is just under 12mb.
My problem is when you start to input data, click check boxes etc the document either a) quits (file is then damaged) or b) you are unable to type text within the field, thus you have to "save as", then "quit" and reopen the document. The only way I've mangaged to get round this is to "save as" after completing a spread or page. I also have to give it another name ie. _1, _2 and so on, as occassionaly Acrobat decides to quit and the file is damaged, so I go back to the previous file and start again. As you can imagine this is not a productive way to work.
Has anyone encountered this? Is the file too big? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks

Hi, sorry for my vague question, I'll clarify that -
I created the forms in Acrobat 9 Pro. Mostly, the other people using the form fill it out with Adobe Reader. They all have different versions, basically. Whenever I hear about these problems, I've always told the person to update their Adobe Reader to the latest version... that has never seemed to actually help.

Not printing blank fields in PDF

Hello,
How can I keep fields that were skipped in Forms Central because of logic from printing when I create a PDF from my form?
Thanks!

Skip logic is one of the features that is not supported in a PDF form and because of this, all of the pages in the form you have designed will be visible in the PDF form.

Hi George!
Thank you for your reply.
Yes. It is true, I checked that, When allowing this option it works.
but I made a PDF form earlier. Some months ago. And there it worked even when I do not allow custom text.
Can I send you the both PDF Forms?
I doublechecked that...and also the old form doesn't work, sorry!

Sales tax Field in PDF Form

How do I create a sales tax field when creating a PDF form?

Your create fields for the tax rate and the tax amount. Format the tax rate as a Percentage and enter the decimal value of the rate. The tax amount field has Number format with 2 decimal places and a custom calculation for the tax rate times the value subject to the sales tax and rounded to 2 decimal places. Not rounding the value of the computation to 2 decimal places is different than displaying 2 decimal places for the field formatting.
