Refresh Button Icon

Refresh Button/Icon?

I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro and one of the buttons on the form I'm working
with contains an icon, which is a jpeg.  The source image of this jpeg
is continually being overwritten by a signature caputure device but
the problem I'm experiencing is that the button/icon is not displaying
the most recent image.  Is there a way in Acrobat to make sure this
image is refreshed everything the form is opened?

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not quite up to date with this in the latest versions of
various PDF readers/viewers---because it seems quite troublesome and 
depends on which viewer and version is being used---but you might try 
Googling for the Acrobat javascript method, buttonImportIcon.

Alternatively, use a multi-media approach. Still images count as a 
special case of videos which are, of course, often stored externally to 
the pdf itself at a url rather than a file-path.
