Hi,
I have created a Livecycle PDF form that has an image field inserted. In this case, the user filling out the form will click that image field and insert a photograph of themselves. Once I receive all of these filled-in forms that include photographs, I want to export field data from multiple PDFs into an Excel spreadsheet.
When I click "embed image", and set the binding to "no data binding" since I don't want the image info imported into the Excel file, when the user inserts the photograph and saves the PDF, there is no image when the file is reopened, but all the other field info is there, and exports into Excel with no problem. The only way I can get the image to appear after the user has filled out the form is if I have chosen "embed image" and set the binding to "Use Name". However, the exported field info in the Excel spreadsheet contains hundreds of lines of garbage (which I assume is the BASE64 conversion of the image).
So how can I have an image inserted into the form, and still appear when the PDF is reopened, without all the gibberish showing up when I export the fields from multiple PDFs into Excel? Thanks in advance. Alot!!
