You can download and send your Form Results externally using a customized template with signatures, that is suited to the look and feel of your company.
Before reading this article, read how to set up custom printing.
Set up your custom template (.docx) with signatures
Insert this code in your template:
{$idX|insert_image:300:100}
$idX will be the unique code of your image/signature question (For example, $id43.id4|insert_image:300:100})
The numbers you see at the end of the code (e.g. 300:100), reflect the height and width of your image.
To set up your Excel custom template (.xlsx) with signatures...
1. Add an image placeholder
Firstly, you'll need to embed an image in your document as a placeholder. The size that you make this image placeholder will be the size that the final image will be. It is important to note that you must use a placeholder with the same file format (JPG or PNG) as the final image.
If you do not have an image placeholder to use, we have built an image generator that you can use. Here is an example of the image placeholder you can use.
Also, the type parameter (possible values: png or jpeg) controls the type of the image. Go ahead and change those parameters to create a customized image.
2. Set up the variable placeholder for your image
You can put this placeholder anywhere in your document – it is simply used to map the image URL to the image element in your document. Mostly, it’s the same format as other variables, but we will add a little more info. Below is an example variable placeholder for the image:
{$idX|image:1:png}
In the above example, the variable name is “MyImage”, then the “|” indicates options after. Each image in a DOCX is stored using a numerical identifier, so the “1” in the image indicates that identifier. Determining the image number may take some trial and error if you are using images in header or footers – the numbering scheme seems to be inconsistent in that case. The “png” in the placeholder represents the image type (possible values: png, jpg, or jpeg).
Once you have that in place, you’re all set!
