Let’s see what tools to use to add an image field to your PDF form. There is no need to manually add a blank page or attach an image as a file. In forms without predefined image fields, you can add an image field straight to the PDF without leaving a document you are working on. Apart from text, you can insert images into PDF files by taking a photo with your mobile device or uploading it from the gallery. PDF forms are one of the most convenient formats for data collection, sharing and storage.

I have had no success in finding such functionality so far.Help > Learning Resources > Tips for creating PDFs > How to add an image field to a PDF How to add an image field to a PDF Or, alternately, something that makes a distinction between a PDF opened in Draw and one opened in Writer, with Draw for the usual PDF editing and Writer limited to text edit-type functionality or the usage types specified in the Export/PDF Options/Security settings when the original PDF was saved. Ideally, there is some setting in Tools/Options/import-preferences that limits the level to which LO ‘renders’ the composite parts of a PDF when importing, depending on the users requirements. I don’t need to edit the overall PDF as such, just use the form to enter the required data and save the whole thing – hopefully in time to get my refund -). They also tend to get jumbled up on the page when LO opens the document. Trying to use this for data entry in LO is a nightmare, as each box is tiny and moves around, and this makes data entry very tedious. I am not sure if the original fields are single objects, or a row of smaller linked-objects, but when LibreOffice opens the document each field is broken down into a row of individual object boxes (one for each number).

The fields look like a row of boxes, but when numbers or text are entered they automatically fill the boxes according to how may digits or letters you enter. I am using Writer to open a PDF that contains loads of single-row fields for data entry.
