I have a PDF consisting of form fields that a user fills out. This PDF is protected so the user cannot modify the PDF only input data into pre defined fields.
I also want the user to be able to insert their own images. Is this possible? If I predefine an area where the image will go the user then has the ability to insert an image via a script or something?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, forms created in Acrobat do not allow such a thing. They used to, but it was taken away. The ability was given to forms created with LiveCycle Designer, though, through the use of an image field. No scripting is required.

Acrobat can import an image in a field, but Reader can't.
You should take a look at the "Import Named File Attachment" tool, available here :

It seems this post is the closet to what I am attempting to do.
Have a pre-printed certificate that I have scanned into Acrobat X and created a form with text boxes to add "Name", "Day", "Month", "Year" etc...
Need to import a picture from a flashdrive, resize it and add it to a corner of the certificate and then print the whole thing.
Can this be automated with just the image selection requiring user interaction?
Will it require LiveCycle or just Acrobat?
I'm sorry if this post is in the wrong place, if so just point me in the right direction please.

Yes, you can do this in Acrobat. Set up a button the size you want and a layout of "Icon only". You'd normally set the border color and background color to nothing. Set the Mouse Up action to the following:
// Mouse Up JavaScript
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
When this button is clicked, it will prompt you to select a file. You can select from among many formats.
