image form field

I have not done any research, yet, so please be gentle if the answer is
easy.

With an Acrobat form, can I set an image via PdfStamper and AcroFields?
Like setting data fields.


I just can't seem to get offline ;-)
This is actually a very good question!
The answer is no: you don't do it like setting data fields.
But yes: it's relatively easy to use a field as place-holder for an image:

PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("my.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new FileOutputStream("new.pdf"));
AcroFields form = stamper.getAcroFields();
float[] photograph = form.getFieldPositions("photograph");
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(photograph[1], photograph[2], photograph[3], photograph[4]);
Image img = Image.getInstance("my.jpg");
img.scaleToFit(rect.width(), rect.height());
img.setAbsolutePosition(photograph[1] + (rect.width() - img.scaledWidth()) / 2,
photograph[2] + (rect.height() - img.scaledHeight()) / 2);
PdfContentByte cb = stamper.getOverContent((int)photograph[0]);
cb.addImage(img);
stamper.close();
