Cropping/editing
To allow the user to crop or edit the image after taking or selecting it, select Camera
properties, and then check Edit Images. Which editing options the user actually gets depends
on the operating system of the device. On an Android device for example, the user may be able
only to crop the image, while the user of an iOS device may select part of the image and rotate
that selection.
Image format
You can set the format, quality and scaling for images that are submitted by the Camera
element. Right-click the Camera element after adding it to the form, select Camera properties
and edit the Image properties:
l
Format: The image format can be PNG or JPG.
l
Quality: Set the compression in a percentage.
l
Scale Image: Check this option to enable image scaling. Then set the maximum width
and height of images before they are sent to the server. Note that only the smallest of
these is applied and the size ratio is always maintained.
How to use the captured or selected image in a template
When the user has submitted the form, you may want to use the captured or selected image in a
Designer template, for example in a letter or on a web page. To do this, insert a dummy image
in the template, right-click it and select Dynamic Image. The Text Script Wizard appears.
Under Field select the field that contains the base64-encoded string. The script puts the given
string in the source (src) attribute of the image (<img>).
Instead of using the Text Script Wizard, you could also write a script yourself; see "Writing your
own scripts" on page515.
Date and Formatted Date
The Date element and the Formatted Date element display the current date on the device when
the form is first opened. When the element is touched, a date selector appears so the user can
modify this date. The Formatted Date element displays dates in a format that depends on the
