Possible to mark images within an Adobe form created in LiveCycle?

With a regular AcroFrom you could use the markup annotations to do this. But not with a pure LiveCycle form. If the form does not need to be dynamic you could use a regular PDF as a background, and this would allow you to apply markups to the image.

You can do this in the following way.
Use a static image and put some regular buttons everywhere over the image you would like to have a cross.
Then you need to modify the buttons a bit.
Set everything to "none" in the border tab and delete the caption, so the buttons are transparent.
Then add a script to the click:event of the buttons.


The script add/removes the caption "X" everytime the users click on the buttons.

Radzmar,

Thank you for the excellent suggestions. I have inserted the buttons, adjusted the formatting and put the code in for a click event in LiveCycle. When I extend the form in adobe pro 9 (I have other features that require extending the form) and I click on the image, I see the button "flash" but no X is inserted. I copied and pasted your code in entirety. Do I need to modify it in any way?

Thanks,
Amy

Well,

this can become a bit tricky I noticed.
It's can be a problem, to use empty strings "", especially when initializing the form.
But you can use spaces " " instead.
I made an example for you, you can work with.
It shows the skyline of my city. You can click on the church spires to make a ring in/visible.
