How do you add an electronic signature or image to the form?

Method 1 (automatic)

First, you will need to assign the image you plan to use as a signature using the File - Preferences command. Once the image has been assigned, each time you move to a field called "Signature" on any form the "Sign Form" button will appear on the top ribbon. Simply click the button and the assigned signature will be inserted properly in that field. Make sure the image is cropped (no white-space) as close to the edge of the actual signature as possible. This will result in a more realistic appearance on the form. Good. Very little white-space. Bad. Too much white-space. A sample image of a scanned signature (SampleSignature.bmp) should have been included with the installation of GFS. If not, you can download one from here: http://www.enlightenedsoftware.com/images/samplesignature.bmp

Method 2 (manual)

Click on the field where you wish to add the image and then press F6 (or right-click your mouse and select "Insert Picture"). There are a few things to remember when inserting images: • Once inserted, images can be sized by pressing F7, or by adjusting the position of the small red dot on the bottom right corner of the image when it is selected. • Its often more convenient to add a new field to the form first (use Format - Form - Fields - Insert New Field), move and size that field to the desired location on the page using the View - Field Position command and then inserting an image into the field. • Fields can be sized and moved by holding down the Ctrl key WITHIN the borders of the selected field and then dragging and dropping any one of the four green border bars. • Images must be in Bitmap (*.bmp), JPEG (*.jpg) or GIF (*.gif) format. • Make sure the spacing between the lines is set to 0. Use Format-Paragraph to adjust this value for any field you wish to contain a graphic image. • If you plan on keeping the image on the form permanently (for instance, a signature) use the Format - Form - Fields - Make Uneditable command. • Under File - Preferences make sure the "Images use entire field when importing pictures" and "Maintain aspect ratio when importing pictures" options in the Program Settings area are set appropriately. Incorrect settings can result in images being FAR TOO LARGE for the field.
