Pictures in Forms

Can I create a form input that lets the user drag and drop a photo into the form?
I'm a user of Acrobat 8, and will upgrade to X if this capability is present.
 
Thanks people!

Hi,

drag'n drop is not possible, but you can use a regular button to import images a icon into the form.
This will work similar to a image field.

Here's an example form for you.

The method radzmar demonstrates works beautifully...in Acrobat. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Reader any longer, although it should. That is to say I think it should. Adobe intentionally and unreasonably doesn't allow it to work with Reader. If you'd like to see it work with Reader again some day, posting here might help: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/743823

How about if I created a Flash object that performed this functionality, could I embed that into a PDF with Acrobat X?
If not, I'll just link to a webpage and publish the functionality there...
