RE: [PDF-Forms] changing images in a PDF form dynamically

[Mira Images]

Title: Message

An option here is to create a button into which your users will be prompted to load a custom icon using _javascript_. The icon will actually be the photograph that you want the user to be able to add. The only caveat here is that the image must be in PDF format. (simple enough as JPEG, TIFF and GIF formats can be converted to PDF by right-clicking and choosing Convert to PDF from the drop-down menu).

 

You'll want to size the button to accommodate the image being added and to set the appearance of the button accordingly. Be sure to set the button to Icon only. You'll want your users to click the button (image field) to which the following script is added as a _javascript_ from the Actions pane:

 

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

 

The user then will be able to browse to find the appropriate image file.

 

HTH,

Mira

What did you write your web app in?  I have a solution that I have for just what you need written in Java and running on my web server.

 

Let me know

Subject: [PDF-Forms] changing images in a PDF form dynamically

PDF-Forms is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com/ __________________________________________________________________

I develop a product which creates PDF web forms connected to a database. I would like to add the ability to include in a pdf form an image which could change based on user input. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what controls I should look for in the documentation? I am looking something like an image object that points to an external file so that I can download a different file and then refresh the PDF form display.

Any help would be appreciated.
