Acrobat Forms - receiving Images embedded in Distributed Forms

[Former Community Member]

Hi, I've been using the Acrobat forms through Live Cycle for a while now for small simple projects, but trying to implement it now in something a bit more complex (as well as learning more as I go).

I've made a form in LiveCycle ES2 requesting Text, Radio Buttons ...

...BUT also that the respondee can send their company logo with the form. To make it simpler than just attaching the logo seperately in an Email.

I've found the Image Field Object which allows the respondee to upload their Logo into the PDF which then gets mailed back to me.

What I haven't seen is a way to extract this logo to a databank or similar.

The text I can collect, sort through, and export as CSV or XML which is great, but other than the logos being embedded in the returned PDF, they don't seem to be accessible anywhere.

I've probably overlooked it somewhere. (I hope). Can someone assist?

(I'm also not certain what the difference between creating forms in LiveCycle and straight through Acrobat is, but I'll ask that in another question).

Thanks Angus

Hi,

the image fields stores images as a base64-codes string within the data dom.

When you export the form data a xml or csv, then the image data will be represented by a very long string of hexadicimal characters.

This can look like:

Here's an article, which describes this.
