'NotAllowedError:' - when trying to import a picture in acrobat reader v7

Question

Hi
I am desperately trying to create a pdf template that people can use in Acrobat Reader V.7 - V7.1. I want the functionality that enables the user to click on a placeholder button/area and it will bring up the dialogue box enabling them to navigate to a picture file and insert it.
I found this code on another forum which I attached to a button;
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
- and it works fine in acrobat Pro - but on Acrobat Reader - even after enabling usage rights it is throwing up an error;
NotAllowedError: Security settings prevent access to this property or method.
I believe there may be a way round this using a trusted function - but I am a complete novice when it comes to Javascripting and wondered if anybody could advise?!
Thanks
Jason

Answer 1

Try the importIcon method to get a reference to an icon object, and copy it to the button, but it will only work to import PDF pages. Reader cannot convert images (jpeg, gif, tiff, etc.)
