Importing images such as signatures

I fixed that one issue, so, you guys can continue testing.

Thanks Alex.

I see it’s working now!

Deleting the signature mapping under the “Field Mapper Tool” worked since the “Image Embedding Tool” already takes care of that.

Would it be possible to specify in the “Image Embedding Tool” if you can align an image? For example, if dealing with a signature, it would be nice to have it left align to the bounding box versus center.

So in terms of functionality, it looks like everything is good. For the public release, will the “Tag Generator Tool” be removed? For an end user to use, it makes sense to me to have that removed to clear up potential confusion since a better method has been introduced.

With the “Image Embedding Tool”, I feel like having a “Save & Close” button would be nice. Even though “Save” wouldn’t really do anything as closing the box accomplishes the same goal, it would still make the end user think that they saved their changes with the image bounding box. Otherwise, they might think, “now what?”.

Lastly, I just want to say BRAVO on your plugin! Back in the day I would have to painstakingly markup a HTML version of a PDF so that I could save the fields and export it back to a PDF. This takes all the work out of that process.

Good to hear. Thanks for the high praise.

I’m not sure regarding alignment. I guess it is possible to add a setting for that. The problem is, it might not be enough to solve all the visual issues with signatures. For example, another feature that you probably need for that is autocrop to remove all the empty space around the signature. I would recommend putting a black box around the signature field so the user knows to fill the entire box and possibly putting a horizontal line inside the box towards the bottom to allow user to align their signature to that line. Also, making the width-to-height ratios of the signature box and the image embed bounding box match.

I am planning to leave the tag generator tool in forever because users expect their old forms to still work when they update the plugin. I am planning to make it less prominent.

Thanks for the input regarding the “Save & Close” button, however, I am not sure having a “save” button there would be technically correct and having a “close” button would be sort of redundant. But you do have a point. I am not sure how to solve this issue yet. I’ll come up with something eventually.

I have just released the next major version of the plugin which includes the image embedding tool. Let me know if something doesn’t work.

Hi Alex,

I just wanted to let you know that your plugin is working great for embedding images. Thanks again for your hard work on this!

Great, thanks.
