Form Field Image

[Fadi]

Do you have any sample code to set a form field with an image so that the image is centered in the form field but keeps it's aspect ratio without going outside the bounding box? Does the image need to be resized first to reduce filesize?

Thanks.

Hello Fadi,

Yes, this is possible. You will need a PushButtonField to hold the image in this case. The image should be smaller than the field rectangle, otherwise, it will be cut off to fit the available size. Here is an example that shows this: 

RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
var page = document.Pages.AddPage();

FormSource form = new FormSource();
form.Size = new System.Windows.Size(1000, 1000);

var editor = new FixedContentEditor(form);
editor.DrawImage(new FileStream(@"..\..\test.png", FileMode.Open));

PushButtonField pushButtonField = new PushButtonField("Test");

PushButtonWidget widget = pushButtonField.Widgets.AddWidget();

widget.Rect = new Rect(25, 25, 805, 612);
widget.HighlightingMode = HighlightingMode.NoHighlighting;

widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.Background = new RgbColor(0, 255, 255, 255);
widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.BorderColor = new RgbColor(0, 255, 255, 255);
widget.Border = new AnnotationBorder(0, AnnotationBorderStyle.None, null);

widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.NormalIconSource = form;
widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.IconAndCaptionPosition = IconAndCaptionPosition.NoCaptionIconOnly;
widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.IconFitOptions.ScalingType = IconScalingType.Proportional;

widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.NormalCaption = null;

widget.RecalculateContent();

document.AcroForm.FormFields.Add(pushButtonField);
page.Annotations.Add(widget);

PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
File.WriteAllBytes(@"..\..\result.pdf", provider.Export(document));

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.
