InfoPath Dev

Hi,

I'm using infopath 2010. have to put an icon in the header and footer when print the form.  the image field I put in the header don't trans to the icon. when print preview it shows mess data. any one knows why?

Any help is appreciated!

thanks.

any help please...  thanks alot!

Perhaps you could provide more information? What does "mess. data" mean? Is the "icon" just an image file? Is it embedded in the form, or is it from a secondary data source? If it is from a secondary data source, what is the format, is it base64Binary?

thank you!

The icon is a gif file.In Infopath form, I created a field data type is 'Picture or File Attachment'. and Specify the icon.gif file as the field's default picture.  (it should embedded in the form, right? because the icon can show up if insert the field picture to the form)

then in the page setup/ Print Settings/ footer: Print form with this footer: insert AutoText :I inserted the picture field.

If save the form and print preview from the Infopath designer the footerIcon will show up the field path: {/my:Fiels/my:footerIcon}

If publish the form and printpreview fromInfopath filler the footerIcon will show up like:  ROIGODIHmGcANuAAAAAP///zsOzkge0uGODIHmGc3ANu5AAPzsOzkge0u....

do you understand what I mean?

Hi,

In infoPath 2010, which way can we print out an image on the footer.  I just try to find a way.

Thank you!

Since you used an InfoPath datatype of base64Binary (picture), your picture is being stored as base64Binary. I'm not sure how to insert an image in a header or a footer - it may involve saving the form as source files and manually modifying the view. Perhaps this blog post might help? I've not watched the video, so I don't know how applicable it will be for your scenario, but it may be worth a look.

thanks Hilary,

that video is insert a picture as the form header not the page header. thank you for your reply.
