I created a form in live cycle designer. I have added image fields so end users can attach photos onto the form. I have several photos that need to be addeed to the form. The file gets so large, it ends up freezing because of all the photos. Is there any way possible to add a limit to the picture size or have them somehow reduce in file size when attached onto the form. I am guessing the only way is to specify a limit, but i wanted to double check.
 
Also, is there way to add more file types for the image field to accept, like .doc or .pdf

Unfortunately the answer to all your questions is NO. Acrobat JavaScript, especially the liveCycle JS, doesn't have access to any of the image properties. JavaScript is pretty much set in stone. You get what Adobe provides and no more.

Hi,

you can validate the image size, to prompt the users if the imported image was too large.

This JavaScript has to be placed into the validate:Event of the image field.
It will allow images up to 1MB (1048576 Byte).
  1. if(ImageField1.resolveNode("value.#image").value.length > 1048576)
  2. {
  3. if(xfa.host.messageBox("Selected Image is to large","",0,0)==1)
  4. {
  5. ImageField1.rawValue = null;
  6. }
  7. }
