I am having problems getting images to scale when filling image fields using form.FillImageField.

My input PDF form was created using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.

The three fields each use a different Object – Field – Sizing option.

Field C1 uses “Scale Image Proportionally” - Resizes the image in the object, ensuring that the aspect ratio of the image is preserved.

Field C2 uses “Scale Image to Fit Rectangle” - Resizes the image to match the dimensions of the object. The aspect ratio of the image is not preserved.

Field C3 uses “Use Original Size” - Does not resize the image. The object is resized to preserve the actual size of the image.

The bitmap file C.bmp is used to fill all three fields.

The attached zip file includes:

1)    1D_in.pdf

2)    C.bmp

3)    code.txt

4)    1D_out.pdf

Thank-you

Hi,

I have tested your code and was able to reproduce the error. I will discuss this with the developers and we will inform you about a solution as soon as one becomes available.

Thanks.

Hi cs,

You are quite right. At present, Form.FillImageField cannot support different scale setting. Sorry for the inconvenience. We will try to provide this feature ASAP, I hope the ETA is two weeks.

Best regards.

Thank you for working on this ASAP.  This is critical for our business requirements, and we are working with a very tight schedule.  We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Dear cs,

Dear cs,

This problem has been resolved. A new hotfix will be published at end of this month. Please notice our blog.

Best regards.

Dear customer,

The newest Hotfix v2.6.2.0 has been released, please download and test it.

Best regards.

I have tested the hotfix for this issue and have a few questions.

I was expecting “Scale Image Proportionally” would scale the length and height of the image proportionally to each other. This seems to be what is now happening. The only question I have is why the full height of the image area is not being used?

With “Scale Image to Fit Rectangle” I would expect the length and height of the image to be change independently of each other so that the image would fill the full rectangle. This is not happening.

I would also assume that the “Use Original Size” image field should be fully filled with as much of the full size image that in can handle.

I have attached code, input and output PDF files, and the graphic file.  

Thank you

Dear cs,

I would like to explain your doubt. I totally understood your requirement now. What I provided complied with Adobe Reader's implementation. If you fill you input file manully with Adobe Reader, you can see those images in output file did not fully occupy those fields.

However, we decided to support your special requirement further. A boolean member will be added into Form class to indicate whether image fields should be fully occupied. This new feature will be finished in one week.

Best regards.

Dear cs,

A new hotfix was released. Please download and test it.

Best regards.
