I am simply trying link an image in a pdf to open a webpage in a browser. This pdf has been created in LiveCycle because it is a form so Acrobat will not let me do it. Is there a way to accomplish this task in LiveCycle?

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can create a transparent button over the image and have an action to open the URL.

I tried that, using the following code:

xfa.host.gotoURL ("http://www.adobe.com");

It works with the button visible, however, when I make it invisible, the link does not function in the pdf. Is there perhaps another way of making the button transparent?

George didn't mean to make the button invisible, but transparent.
You can set up the buttons view in the layout and border palettes.
Select "None" for fill color and appearance.

That's exactly what I needed. Thank you both for your timely help.

Also, for anyone else going through this issue, I want to make a note that my
xfa.host.gotoURL ("http://www.adobe.com");
code was not the right line to use, instead I found that
app.launchURL("Place URL here");
worked for my purposes of opening a webpage in a browser.
