  • Hello,

    I am trying to follow the information mentioned in the v2.2.1 Update to add images to a PDF using the Fill PDF smart service but have had no success getting the image to map to the pdf and it does not give an error. I have tried both .PNG and .JPG images with no success.

    In Acrobat when creating the form template what field type and settings need to be in place to map the image correctly? In Acrobat for windows there is no Image form field type and on mac the image field appears to be simply an altered button type but following the instructions does not add the image to the form!

    I know my smart node is correct because passing a text pdffield as well will populate correctly but passing the image field and document id has no effect. Please help clarify what I could be missing.

    Thank you
