Hi there,

I am new to this community and I am not too sure if this is where I post this question.

I was able to create text deliminated file to auto populate and save PDF file with text. I am wanting to auto populate the same pdf to include an image. I thought I would be able to reference the text delimnated file with the location of the image but this did not work. Is there a way to auto populate with an image?

Any infomation would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi there,

Thank you for the quick response.

The information you provided worked. I was wondering if there is a way to reference a text deliminated file that would store a link to an image?

You could make a field called, for example, imagePath. If all the paths are the same you would only put the file name with the file extension in the text file column imagePath (example: image1.png) and hard code the path to that folder:

this.getField("ButtonFieldName").buttonImportIcon("/c/Documents/Images/" +this.getField("imagePath").value);

Run the script above after the import of a row of data.,

If the files are in different folders you would put the entire path in the imagePath column:

/c/Documents/Images/image1.png

Then run the import script as follows:

this.getField("ButtonFieldName").buttonImportIcon(this.getField("imagePath").value);
