Create protected form that allows me to insert a jpeg/bmp file?
I have a form that is protected with the exception of entry fields. This
works great for all of the input files that are text boxes. However, I have a field that needs to be inserted as a bmp or jpeg as it is the scanned signature that needs to be pasted onto the form. When I attempt this into a text box field, I am told I can't insert a picture into a text box field. However, I have been unable to find any other form field that is compatible with the picture format. |

Try this: On the Forms toolbar, click on Insert Frame. Once your cursor turns into a "cross" click and drag to create a frame and then you can insert your picture into the frame. Please let me know if this is helpful to you. "Larry Abell" wrote: I have a form that is protected with the exception of entry fields. This works great for all of the input files that are text boxes.

Carol,
Unfortunately, when I inserted the frame and "re-protected" the document, I could only input into text fields and was unable to past an image into the frame.

Insert the image into the frame BEFORE you protect the document.

Carol,
Unfortunately that will not work in this case due to the fact that the field is for a signature on the form. We will be protecting the form and deploying it for users to complete. Unfortunately, signature is one of those fields that will be completed by the end user and this value could vary based on the inspector of the project.
