How do allow client to insert image in a pdf

I have Acrobat Pro 9 and i have created fields to allow client to use the form to add information. I need to allow them to add images as well. I read something about using a button and some other code. But I only know enough to be dangerous. I don't know where to go from here.. Please help. If acrobat does not do this is there another program that I can use to create something similar?

Create a form field button. Under Properties, Options, set the Layout to "Icon Only".

Add a "Run a JavaScript" command to the MouseUp action with this code:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

Clicking the button would then prompt the user to select a PDF file that will then be imported into the actual field itself, as an image.

What application(s) is the client going to be using to view this file?

They will be using acrobat reader unless there is something else more user friendly.

How would you allow other file formats to be uploaded, such as a JPEG?

Thanks!
