You've probably interacted with an image carousel (slide show) on a website, where you view a picture in a frame and advance to the next picture with a mouse click. This structure can be easily built into a PDF using a button field. I'll walk you through this simple process, step by step.
NOTE: Because this button carousel runs on JavaScript, it may not function properly when opened with anything but an Adobe desktop PDF viewer. It may not function with web browsers, mobile devices, and non-Adobe PDF viewers.

doc.addIcon( )
doc.getIcon( )
field.buttonSetIcon( )
