I agree as well. This is something that used to be available. It is a very basic necessary function for so many reasons. Please do consider (seriously) adding this feature back. It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, please bring back the "insert Image" feature for Acrobat on Macs. Just give us LiveCycle, please.

Thank you

Please add this feature.

This seems like such basic feature that by not including this capability, Adobe comes off appearing quite cynical in their product offerings.

I would love to have this feature as well. Why should it limited to Windows only?

I cannot imagine why this feature was taken away.  Please bring it back.  It would make users feel a little bit better.  Like me.

Thanks for such a quick responce. I am shocked that something seemingly so simple is not available. They need to make that feature available again! Why would they take it away in the first place?!

Amanda, I figured out a way to do it in a round about way. Below are the instructions I sent to my client.

In open document, make sure you are in edit mode. On the right side – Forms – Edit.

Tasks – Add New Field – Button

Your cursor turns into a slim rectangular box. Draw a square with in the image box I have created.

You can name the button what you like(it doesn’t really matter), I have been calling it Submitted Image

Click on All Properties

General Tab - make sure the form field is visible. This should be the default.

Appearance Tab – Make the borders and colors, both no color.

Options Tab – Layout: Icon Only.   Advanced – When to scale: Always. Scale:Proportionally. Click OK

Options Tab – Choose Icon – Browse – Find the Picture you are using (IMAGE NEEDS TO BE SAVED AS A PDF). Click OK

Close Button Properties, repeat for second image.

When done placing images, Tasks – Close Form Editing

Save

Thanks for the instructions! I have created a template that I want to be

able to send out to multiple clients. The idea is that they can place

their logo and contact information. I have the text fields all figured

out. I was able to follow your instructions and place an image in Pro,

but will my clients using only Reader?

Thanks again for your help!!

Amanda and others I have only figured out one way to add graphic to a pdf in reader. I created a tutorial How to add custom graphics to a PDF

It would be nice if placing a graphic was much easier.

Yes, please add this feature.  We have a client that would like to create controlled, co-branded documents with their partners.  We would like to define regions in which partners can upload their own logos without requiring partners to buy software or need advanced expertise.

+1 for adding the ability to insert an image into a form. This is a serious omission from what are supposed to be fully functioning "interactive forms". InDesign CS6 was supposed to have greatly improved interactive form creation tools, but the truth is something different. LiveCycle is a mediocre solution because it strips out any custom formatting that is set up in InDesign or Acrobat, especially all the new custom styles for radio buttons and check boxes that InDesign CS6 has in it. AcrobatX only comes with LiveCycle ES2 (9) and not ES3 (10). It would be nice to be able to try ES3 to see if any of these issues have been resolved, but the LiveCycle Designer ES3 demo installer doesn't work because it asks for a serial number and this can't be bypassed.

Needless to say I'm frustrated and annoyed by all this. I have a client that really needs to be able to insert multiple JPG images into a form and we can't find a satisfactory solution.

I can't say I'm all that thrilled about this. I don't expect the end users of my forms to first convert images to a PDF before insertion. My biggest example is the aforementioned industrial service report for one client that can have up to 60 survey images in one document. I need them to be able to upload 4:3 or 3:2 images from their cameras into the document along with 18 pages worth of other info, which is diagrams to draw on, text fields, checklists, and that sort of thing. I've suggested we do this other ways, namely through a web based system, but they love the PDF doc I made for them. They don't have to worry about how it got to be what it is, and they feel it's quite user friendly. Unfortunately (or is that fortunately for me?) every time they make any significant changes to the layout I need to go all the way back to InDesign and then through the Acrobat/LiveCycle process to get all the styles, image functionality, tab orders, etc. sorted out. Although I've made some improvements to my workflow as the project has been evolving, it's a rather time consuming process.

Don't forget to mention, that XFA-forms still have to be Reader-enabled to be savable with Reader.

It's much better than nothing. The workaround of using an XFA form with one or more image fields to use as the source for the button icons is probably the simplest approach, especially now that Reader is able to save a non-enabled document.

Yes. Please stop taking functionality AWAY. It's lazy, and just wrong.

I will add my voice to the people who want to be able to insert a photo into a form.  I assumed it was a given when I was building my application, sure was a surprise when it wasn't there....

The issue is that many of us would like to use the cameras built into our phones and tablets while were are filling in forms.  Not sure how many phones will save a picture as PDF or link automatically to something asking for a PDF..
