Hi Robert, 

Yes the APPROVD.BMP from ProgramFiles\Laserfiche\Client\ works.

But the private BMP files not showing on the page.

Is there any format or size do we I have to follow?

Here is the code again,

 ' Retrieves document pages object.
                            Dim DocPages As LFDocumentPages = Doc.Pages
                            ' Retrieves the first page of the document.
                            Dim PageOne As LFPage = DocPages.Item(1)
                            ' Get a write lock on the page.
                            PageOne.LockObject(Lock_Type.LOCK_TYPE_WRITE)
                            Doc.LockObject(Lock_Type.LOCK_TYPE_WRITE)
                            Dim studStamp As LFStampAnnotation = PageOne.AddAnnotation(Annotation_Type.ANN_STAMP)
                            studStamp.Import("./bitmap/" & FileName & ".BMP") 'The BMP file is created using Template feld value
                            'Save your changes.
                            PageOne.Update()
                            Doc.Update()
                            'Unlock the page.
                            PageOne.UnlockObject()
                            Doc.UnlockObject()
                            Doc.Dispose()

The only limit I'm aware of is that it has to be under 512 kb.  Are you sure your bitmap isn't empty?  Can you attach it?

Here is the BMP file on this link, https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B22nB4mGoaMfZ3ZHLWpnaXBuZ3M/edit?usp=sharing

(seems we can't directly upload .bmp files here in LF Answers)

Brain, the APPROVED.BMP file is in 5kb size and/1bit depth, mine is 132kb/32bit depth..  does the bit-depth play something here?

I also tried 2kb/24bit bit depth BMPs.. but still no luck.

Your thoughts please...

Thank you for your support sir.

With that bmp I get an exception thrown "The bitmap data exceeds the maximum size".  Do you not get that error?

The bitmap seems to be below the limit, so I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with it.  If I save that bitmap as just 1 bit per pixel I can add it without a problem.

If you go to the client help file and open "Annotations - Stamps - Creating a Stamp" you will find this paragraph:

To create an image stamp, you first need to create a monochrome Windows bitmap image file (.bmp). If the image contains color, or is in a different file format, it will not be compatible. To make it compatible, open the file in Microsoft Paint (or a similar program), click Save As, and choose Monochrome bitmap.

So not only does the bitmap need to be under 64kb, but it must be 1bit depth (monochrome)

Thanks Brain, I already tried with 5KB /24bit BMPs, but same issue.

I think, I should make the BMPs in 1bit per pixel, i am trying that out.  I will let you know how it go.

Actually the code imports the BMP, but its not visible.  (see the attached)

Well, here is the 1bit BMP sample created by my program,

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B22nB4mGoaMfTTNHeDdSbTEtdzQ/edit?usp=sharing

But the LF code still doesn't stamp this 1bit image on the page,

Code here:

Dim Doc As LFDocument = DB.GetEntryByID(39314)
        ' Retrieves document pages object.
        Dim DocPages As LFDocumentPages = Doc.Pages
        ' Retrieves the first page of the document.
        Dim PageOne As LFPage = DocPages.Item(1)
        ' Get a write lock on the page.
        PageOne.LockObject(Lock_Type.LOCK_TYPE_WRITE)
        Doc.LockObject(Lock_Type.LOCK_TYPE_WRITE)
        Dim studStamp As LFStampAnnotation = PageOne.AddAnnotation(Annotation_Type.ANN_STAMP)
        studStamp.Import("./bitmap/ABBE JOSEPH IEP-1.BMP")
        'Save your changes.
        PageOne.Update()
        Doc.Update()
        'Unlock the page.
        PageOne.UnlockObject()
        Doc.UnlockObject()
        Doc.Dispose()

But same code works good with APPROVED.BMP

Please help whats wrong with the BMP again?

Thanks in advance for your help

Ram
