+2My requirement is to be able to take a screenshot from maybe within a form and and then attach it to the form. This is as opposed to the current method of using a tool to take a screenshot, saving that screenshot as a file and then browsing to that file to attach it to the form.
If anyone can help, that'll be great.
As far as I know this could be done only using custom JavaScript code. For which you can find various examples on the Internet. Like the following: Take webpage screenshot using HTML5 and jQuery
+17I'm not quite sure why you would want to take a photo of a form and submit that with the form? That seems a bit counterintuitive of the forms purpose, but as @jpmhuls said, javascript would be your best option for this.
Hi @eharris04,
Actually last week I got the same request from the business..... they can be sooooo creative :smileywink:
+17@jpmhuls can you share more on what exactly they are wanting to do? Maybe we can do a quick chat?
This is one that makes me wonder, how they expect to interact with a form:
Hi @eharris04,
Question was to include a screencopy of a filled in form in an email, along with an attached PDF version send from a workflow. I managed to talk them out of that idea (screencopy), and offered to investigate the convert to PDF option and/or just to recreate the form content in an HTML table (@Nabil1, you could consider this options as well). Which I've done for another project as well, and which looks good.
+17@jpmhuls thanks for the explanation. Totally understand that use case for sure.
Might I suggest an easy alternative to both the convert to PDF option and recreate form content to HTML table:
Convert to PDF Option
Recreate form content to HTML table
Thanks @eharris04,
As far as I can tell, the customer currently does not have that Document Generation action enabled/available. If it is for on-Prem Nintex Workflow?
