PDF form to insert images

Does the only way to have a form field to insert an image is by using LiveCycle Designer or is there a way to do it with some kind of hack using javascript or else? Something that would be possible to use using Adobe free Reader.

It's possible with Reader 11 using a button, but the image has to be converted to PDF first. There are a number of threads here that talk about it:

  • Adding filename in PDF form and inserting the filename as the subject when emailing the form

    I have created a form in LiveCycle and have added 2 buttons - Save As and Submit by Email (created successfully thanks to the posts in this Forum).  Can someone please advise how I can:
    1.  Add the file name to the PDF document when the Save As button is clicked.
    2.  Use the file name as the Subject when the user clicks the Submit by Email.
    Thank you in advance for your help with this query.

    Here is a sample for your save as request.
    http://thelivecycle.blogspot.com/2009/11/save-form-to-specific-directories-and.html
    To determine the file name and use it in the subject you can use for example:
    var FileName = event.target.documentFileName;
    event.target.mailDoc({
            bUI: false,
            cTo: [email protected],
            cSubject: FileName,
            cMsg: "Bla bla bla...",
            cSubmitAs: "PDF"

  • Form. Insert Image(. JPG) In a Square-Javascript

    Hello, anyone know how I can do a button to put a picture (.jpg) in that square for her.
    My intention is that it can be opened with adobe reader. No can do with javascript?
    A greeting and thank you all in advance

    If you want to allow a Reader user to add an mage, this is only possible in Reader if the image is first converted to PDF, and only in Reader 11. You'd use the buttonImportIcon field method: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/9.1/Acrobat9_1_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.88.737.html
    It's not clear from your question whether you just want to add an image to a page or want to allow a user with Reader to add an image. Can you clarify?

  • 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.

  • Create pdf form from image file

    The only disadvantage of this utility is input image format is bmp only.

  • Pdf form: attaching Outlook signatures

    When using a submit button on a form, the pdf is attached to an email, with automated text in the email "The attached file contains data that was..."
    This replaces the automatic email signature I have set in my email application. (it should have appeared automatically)
    How do I get the signature to appear as well as/instead of this text automatically?
    I need this on there to prompt applicants of my pdf form to insert there Outlook signature.
    Thanks in advance,
    Olgun

    Thanks, Mike.
    Its strange because it does allow the following text (below) to go into the body of the email. Do you think it could work with some java/other type scripting?
    "The attached file contains data that was entered into a form. It is not the form itself.
    The recipient of this data file should save it locally with a unique name. Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later can process this data by importing it back into the blank form or creating a spreadsheet from several data files. See Help in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 or later for more details."

  • Adobe Forms and Dynamic Images

    Hi all,
    I have a table in my Interactive Form and I need to add a dynamic image for each row of this table according with the URL field of my node, so i've done the steps of the tutorial "Dynamic Non-Interactive PDF Form", adding a image field, setting none for default binding, setting the url field as $record.Images[*].URL and then, adding the following FormCalc expression to initialize the image: this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
    Well, my node Images return 3 records and when I run the app, the following message returns:
    Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].dataSource[0].Images[0].subImageTable[0].subImageRow[0].imageField[0])
    script=this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
    Error: SOM Expression returned list when single result was expected
    Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].dataSource[0].Images[0].subImageTable[0].subImageRow[1].imageField[0])
    script=this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
    Error: SOM Expression returned list when single result was expected
    Script failed (language is formcalc; context is xfa[0].form[0].dataSource[0].Images[0].subImageTable[0].subImageRow[2].imageField[0])
    script=this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
    Error: SOM Expression returned list when single result was expected
    So, anyone here knows how to add a dynamic image to a table row?
    Thanks in advance
    []'s

    I solved it now, just changing the FormCalc expression.
    Instead of using the expression:
    this.value.image.href = xfa.resolveNode(this.value.image.href).value;
    I used this:
    this.value.image.href = xfa.record.Images.URL;
    The URL value of Image Field, in this case is:
    <b>$record.Images[*].URL</b>
    And, to finish, I needed to add a Text Field bounded to  <b>$record.Imagens[*].URL</b>, case else the image doesn't appear.
    That's it!

  • How to allow users to post an image in a PDF form using their IPADS

    Hello,
    I need help with a work project.  I need to create forms for our trainers to use on site.  I have Adobe XI Pro and can do the basics, however I would love for the trainers to be able to submit photo's, video etc with their PDF forms.  Can anyone tell me how I can get Adobe XI Pro to insert an image field, so when the trainers are conducting an assessment they can take a photo with their ipad and embed into a designated area on the form?  I would be ever so grateful.

    The only PDF Viewer on the iPad that I know supports this is Readdle's PDF Expert. Adobe Reader for iOS does not. It involves using the buttonImportIcon JavaScript method. More information here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/6037991

  • How to create a pdf form allowing Reader user to insert picture - NOT from their local hard drive - but from photos I want them to choose from?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form where a Reader user can insert an image - that's NOT on their local hard drive?
    I have 4 photos available - the users of my form will choose one of them and insert it in the pdf form. The users will NOT have the photos saved on their local hard drives so ideally, they will see thumbnails or a preview of the available photos and then select and insert the photo they want to use.
    Is this possible? If so, how do I go about this? Right now, all I can find are ways to insert a photo located on the users local hard drive.
    Hopefully someone can answer my question.

    George, I'm not sure where the photos would go or how to include them. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to making pdf forms so i'm not sure if it's even possible.
    I'm planning to make a flier. I want the end user to be able to choose the photo displayed on the flier - the photos would be ones that I choose and supply. I know I could just make four different fliers, but I thought it would be more efficient if I had one flier and gave the Reader user the ability to select the photo they like.
    Does this sound possible to you?

  • Insert phots to PDF forms a problem in Acrobat 9.0 pro

    I'm trying to figure out a way to insert image files into a PDF form. Ultimately I want to distribute this PDF form and allow the users the opportunity to insert their own picture. Unfortunately, there's no tool for this on the interface that I can find. I'm also very new to Acrobat, so that could be the reason.
    The only way I was even able to do something like this was to use the watermark tool. But users of this form won't have Acrobat 9 or Pro to use to add their own picture. Is there a way to accomplish this so that users with Acrobat Readers will be able to do this?

    Ted Padova has a blog on Enabling Adobe Reader Users Options for Importing Images on Forms that explains how to do this on AcrobatUsers.com at:

  • Online php form (inserts) in pdf form and send via email

    So first hello all.
    There are 4 PDF Forms amd 4 php forms on a website.
    The user should be able to fill out the php form, click on send and the inserts from the user should be stored in the pdf form and send to an email adress.
    I know that there are 3rd party tools, the convert it to a image, draw the inserts and convert it back.
    But i want to know, how to do it with acrobat itself.
    Is there any way to put varaibles in the pdf where php can set (fill)
    If this is impossible:
    I have heard, that there is a server version from acrobat who can manage this.
    The information about this is rarly like i dont understand how much the costs are.
    First : price x (for the server software itself)   
    Second: price y (for every processed document)
    Many thanks in advance

    You cannot use Acrobat on a server in that manner. Acrobat is licensed for one user one system at a time.
    You can create and FDF file with the form field data and use that data to fill-in a PDF. You needd to create a unique PDF that could be added to an email and then deleted. You could also accumulate the data in a database.
