Embedding the .tif image of a Laserfiche page in a Forms form dynamically?

asked on August 18, 2016

Alright, let me try to explain what I want to do. I want to start a workflow with a starting entry that already exists in the Laserfiche repository. It will have pages generated, and be single-page. I then want this workflow to initiate a Forms business process, and embed the .tif of the starting entry in the form as an image, and having it change depending on the starting entry of the workflow.

 

I'm guessing there's not actually a way of getting a direct .tif image url from the web access portal, nor a way on the Forms end of embedding an image from the Laserfiche repository. But, just in case there is, I wanted to ask.

There's a way to do it, but it's pretty complicated. Requires knowing the Laserfiche SDK as well as a fair bit of Javascript.

Note that you can't embed tif images in web pages because browsers can't display tifs natively. You need to convert it into a browser-friendly format first, such as png or jpg.

Yeah... I think I'm going to put this in the "not really worth it" column and go with the web access url in an iframe.
