How to make a PDF with uploadable picture?

Post by AngeSurTerre »

Hello,

I want to make a worksheet in the PDF format for my students that they can download, fill up some tables, and be able to download a picture from the PDF, edit it with whatever software they like, then upload it into the PDF so it replaces the current picture, then save their PDF, so they can turn it in.

I managed to make the tables editable by using

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}
then putting a

Code: Select all

\TextField
in each cell. But I have no clue how to proceed for the picture.

Is that possible?

Thank you!

Val

P.S: I attached a sample of my current PDF. The table is editable, but the lines are cut. Can I fix this?

This is not what pdfs are for or meant to be.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Last semester I was using Word documents instead of PDF, so the students can easily edit it and submit their responses, but the problem with Word is that the document appears differently on almost every different machine, and all the formatting gets messed up (what else could we expect from the Microsoft product?).

I need something very stable, like PDF, because some students use Windows, Mac OS, or Linux. I cannot force them all to use the same OS and the same machine.
