Launch Camera App / Insert Image(s)

Hello,
I did some browsing but was not able to find something similar to the question I have.
I have a client who would like me to build some .PDF form(s) for his construction crews. The objective is to eliminate all the paperwork they currently have (not a problem with fill forms and Reader on their Apple tablets).
But here is where I run into a problem trying to create what he wants / needs. He wants the the user to have the ability to launch the camera program from within the .PDF form in Reader, snap the photos needed with their tablet, and insert them into the form. While I have found some java script that will allow them to click a "button" in the form and insert a .PDF, they really need the ability to insert the .jpg images taken by the tablet's camera.
With that said here are my goals:
Create a button that will launch their camera app allowing them to take photos of the job site
Insert the photos they take into the form - this can be a blank document page(s) just for the photos
Save the .PDF form and use a button to send the form. Email is the only option to send a form I believe??
I am using the latest versions of Adobe CC products (for windows) including Acrobat Pro XI, InDesign, Illustrator etc. to create this job. As I mentioned above, my client will be using Reader on Apple tablets.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Adam

Hello,
Thank you for your response!
I have considered an HTML / web based version instead of the .PDF option, but there are often times they do not have internet access, and would be required to save the file(s) to send them once they do have internet access.
Here is my plan B...
If I use a standard send form button which launches their email program, they could then attach the photos to the email and send the form and photos together. While this would be a fairly simple solution, they goal of the business owner was to keep this as simple as possible for the crews. Although, I would think that any solution would be better than filling out paper forms in triplicate
Thoughts on this option, or maybe a more streamlined way of implementing this idea?
Thank you again
Adam

  • IOS 7 Apple camera app - image size vs other camera app's image size

    Is there a way to change the image size on the IOS 7 Apple camera app.  On the iPhone 5s the image is 2448x3264, correct, and the image size was 1.96Mb.  The Camera+ is 3.63Mb and CameraAwesome was 1.57Mb.  I can adjust the image size with Camera+ and did so.  If the Apple Camera app is not adjustable then it looks like there is significant reduction in the resolution of images, at least compared to C+. 

    You probably want to post this in the Developer Forums. This is the general user forum.
    Best of luck.

  • Xperia Z1 launching camera app unwittingly

    Hello,
    sometimes my Xperia Z1 is launching unwittingly camera app. Sometimes it does very often like every 3 seconds. I press home and then it appears again automatically. Sometimes It make once but never expected and bit annoying...
    It is happening even though after I lock the display!!
    Do anybody have solution? Thank you...

    Try to perform a system repair and see if that fixes the issue
    Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
    Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
    If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

  • Default Camera App Tile Missing and Won't Launch from c:\windows\camera. Also missing from Windows Store to reinstall.

    Hi There,
    I am deploying a custom windows 8.1 enterprise image via SCCM to Surface Tablets in our corporate environment.  We currently are using windows 8 ONLY on surface hardware.
    We only have 4 in the wild but all are having the same issue.  The camera app tile/shortcut is missing from the all applications menu.
    If I try to launch it from the c:\windows\camera folder i receive an error regarding Windows.UI.Xaml.dll as I believe it needs to be  called via the modern environment (not desktop).
    It dose not appear to be a hardware issue as third party camera apps seem to work.
    Also, when i search for the app in windows store it cannot be found.  I can find it when i search the store via IE but when I click on the link to open it in the windows store i am only presented with the stores front page.
    Any advice would be appreciated as my users are keen to use the camera on their surface pro 3's.
    Thanks

    This sounds as though the Camera app has become corrupt in your image. I would attempt to reimage one of the devices with a vanilla environment to see if the issue appears, if not, I would
    evaluate the difference between the Camera app in the vanilla environment and the production environment. Specifically, you may need to ensure that the correct version of Camera is provisioned in the base image.

    camera problem app, its giving me this purple images then the app freezes i press home button its goes fine back home screen it just the CAMERA APP ITSELF. i did RESTORE

    I've found a new way .. I restart the phone manually. And it works. But sometimes , the Problem reappears and sometimes it doesn't . But when it does , its just too annoying. Therefore, restarting the phone manually is a temporary solution. But what's the permanent solution for it? Let's wait and hope that someone comes up with one.
    And I hope this restarting hint solves your problem too.
    P.S- instagram or any other app won't make a difference. That's what i think .. Cz I don't have that app on my iPhone.

  • Camera app that doesn't flip the image

    Hello guys, does anyone know an app in the app store that doesn't mirror the image?
    The app also needs to be free.
    Thanks,
    regirock524

    I'm pretty sure that regardless of which camera app is used, the photos always end up on the "camera roll", and will therefore be treated equally by the OS.  I'd suggest a separate camera for your amputated fingertips.  

  • Camera App Won't Launch from Lock Screen after update

    After updating to ios 8 and then 8.1 my camera app will not launch from the lockscreen. When I swipe up on the camera app I see my home screen wallpaper until I press the home button or the lock button.

    Hey morpeo,
    Thanks for the question. Let’s see if we can isolate the issue further. To do so, try restarting/resetting your device:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the issue persists after a restart, let’s see if we can isolate to software or hardware by backing up and restoring your device as new:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
    If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,

  • TS1702 When I try to open the Camera app or the photo booth, half of the times, the app doesn't open entirely, it shows me the initial image of a closed screen, and it never opens. My ipad is new, I bought it a week ago. Whan can be happening? Thanks!

    I try to open the camera app, but it doesn´t work, the shutter doesn't open. I bought the ipad last week!
    Can anybody help me??
    Thanks!
    Karen

    Quit the camera app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesnt help, try this. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I am unable to email an image from camera roll. the image gets "stuck". cannot input email address or subject line. am unable to cancel and go back to camera roll

    i am unable to email images from my camera roll. the image gets "stuck". cannot insert email address or subject line. cannot cancel... return to camera roll.
    what to do. i tries taking new picture and sending it in an email... same thing... gets "stuck "
    Waht to do ?

    Hello lohmann8,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with emailing photos from the Camera Roll.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the Photos and Camera app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Best API for video camera app

    Hi. Which Directive/Class will be the better choice if your app is mainly a video camera app. I saw about 3 different Classes to capture videos. I'm currently using Microsoft.Devices/CaptureDevice to capture video. It looks limited to me because found
    out I can't pause==>resume a recording. And what about Zooming? Can you tell me which way I want to go if I want to make sure my camera functionality is powerful? Which directive/class and if possible some code example on how to use it and maybe how to

  • Camera app wont open

    My z10 camera app won't open when I try it displays a blank page with a camera icon then goes back to the main menu. I've tried a battery pull twice but no joy. Any ideas anybody?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I was able to solve the problem with the help of BlackBerry support as I had all my images saving to the sd media card
    It was fairly simple for me I was advised to take out the sd media card and to see if the application will boot...the app then booted no problems.
    So if it boots without the media card inserted, then backup all the content on your media card and wipe the media card and format the card and I formatted it using the Z10
    that solved my problem as the phone was trying to read the card and cache/display all the images it was hanging, give that a shot and let me know if it worked for you...worked for me and kept on working without any problems then
    after it worked for a good while, i did go through the process of backing up my phone and reinstalling the OS [just in case of a bad install or something, safe measures] and so far so good for the camera app, hasn't crashed and I've been taking pictures all throughout the day
