I'm trying to place an image onto the form fillable version of the Character Details sheet for D&D 5th edition using Adobe AIR and I cannot drag & drop the image or upload it through Adobe AIR either. Please help me, I don't want to cut the image out and glue it to the sheet.
Do a search for image to pdf and use a convertor that is how I've been doing it.
I use scissors and glue! 
You can use Google Docs/Google Drive to convert images over to PDF's.

Okay, now I'm not internet illiterate so I know about those things, but I've also never used them. Could you [Eck & Rowan Whisper Cloak] help detail your solutions so I can understand clearly?
I've actually found a converter and changed the jpeg image I wish to use to pdf but I still don't know how to apply that to the character sheet.
if your image has been succesfully converted to a PDF then you simply click inside the section on the character sheet and it will open up a box where you can navigate to where you saved the PDF and select it.
Unfortunately Tarob76 there is no such box opening up.
Does anyone have another pdf viewer they would recomend? Or another solution to try? It would be such a great addition to the character sheet if I could place images in the portrait section.
I have a very cumbersome way of doing it, but I can't think of anything better.
There's a free software package called Inkscape that allows you to import PDF files and convert them to SVG format images. I used that to make a separate image for each page of the character sheet. The advantage of SVG over jpeg, say, is that the boxes and text are preserved as line art and text, rather than being converted to a bitmap, and this is non-lossy process and the resulting file size is small.
Then I used Open Office (though I guess you could use MS Word) to create a blank, two-page document, imported the SVG images as backgound images for each page, then created fields for all the boxes (which took a while, but only needed doing once) and saved the result as a .odt (I guess you could use .doc if you are using Word).
I now have a blank character sheet, ready for filling in, which looks and functions like the official one except it's an odt rather than a pdf. The big difference is that, because it's an odt, I can drag and drop a portrait image into the right place, fill in all the fields then both save it as odt and export it as pdf (which OpenOffice can do natively) when I'm done. I can do that for each character. The exporting process preserves the fields, so the resulting pdf can still be edited later to change the data but the portrait can't be changed. To do that, I would need to go back to the odt version.
As I said, it's cumbersome but it works and once it's set up it's just as quick as filling in the official PDFs.
Here's an example of a character sheet that I made this way and posted in the Pregen Repository (which is a bit lacking in character sheets so far, because it's a pain to do all this)

I'm also working on another scheme for automatically generating filled-in character sheets as html files that can be printed as PDFs out of Chrome. But that's another story.
I like you character! Is there a problem with the resolution or images? The borders seem odd to me. Do you know of any simpler way that I could just attach the image and print it? I don't need to keep the file on as a pdf-form fillable, or even edit it in word once I get the image to the proper area.
