Hi all,
I'm trying to add my signature in a Word using workflow and Forms but at the end, I have something strange.
This is my form.
And this is my PDF.
Where is my error?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
In Word, Insert tab, Quick Parts/Field menu item
In the Field dialog select MergeField from the Field names list. Type in the name of the merge field in the Field properties textbox with the prefix 'Image:'
Looks like this in Word;
Note: It would appear that the significant part of the merge field name is the Image: prefix. If I leave that prefix off of the merge field name I get the same results as you. Most likely a base64 representation of the signature image?
Hi Olivier
Just to clearify, Are you trying to take the signature from form and export it to a different pdf file?
Laserfiche does not currently support taking a signature from a Forms process and adding it to a Word document or a PDF out of the box. You would need to write a custom activity to try and accomplish this. If you search in Answers you will see a lot of posts about this topic.
Olivier,
Here is an Answers post that explains how to take a signature collected in a Forms process and insert it into a Word doc mergefield via the Update Word Document workflow activity.

Hi Cliff,
Thank you for your help.
Yes, I followed this post to make my test.
Olivier,
The steps in that post worked for me. Here is a screen snip of a PDF that I created using the signature captured on the Form and merged with a Word doc in workflow.
Here is the Word doc
and here is the Field Merge in the Workflow activity
BTW - I am running Forms 10.3 and Laserfiche Server Suite 10.3
Hi Cliff,
It looks like your *.doc is different from mine. How did you add your mergefield?

Hi Cliff !!
Good Job !! It's working.
Thank you so much.
Now I need to know how to reduce this pictures... its a little too big XD
Can you show how your Word document and workflow are configured?
