I created an interactive .pdf in Indesign, but I want to ad an option to let the user attach a picture that he or she has on his computer. Is that possible?

It appears to be possible but would require scripting.

Steps:



Open up the Content Panel via Tools > Content Panel
Using the 'Add a button' tool draw a button to the size the image field needs to be
Double click the button to enter into the button's properties
Go to the Actions tab
Next to Select Action choose 'Run a JavaScript'
Click Add
Copy & Paste the following JavaScript in the window:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();
OK
Go to the Options tab
Under Layout choose 'Icon Only'
Investigate any other options you need then..
Close


Test using the Selection Tool (black arrow tool). Note that when
browsing for the image you are not restructed to PDF's as you can
change the file type in the lower right to say JPEG or PNG etc.
