Help, Please! I am using Acrobat Professional 8 on a Mac. I created a form that is an admissions application. I want the user in Reader to be able to import an image (their photo). I read that there is a function that comes with the Acrobat Professional 8 for the PC called LiveCycle that allows you to do this. It does not exist in Acrobat Professional 8 on a Mac. Is there any plug in or any stand alone application for the Mac that will let you do this? Thanks

Acrobat Pro 8.1.1, Macintosh

Unfortunately no, LiveCyle is complex enough that I don't thing you'll find a 3rd party tool for Mac LiveCycle:( There used to be a way to do this on an AcroForm by using a button. But all that change with Acrobat 7 (tighter security).

But there is something else you could do that might work just as well. If you are submitting FDF data you can specify a file to embed in it. Here is an Artical that talks about doing this:
