Hi All

I have a document generation action configure which creates a PO and at the bottom I would like to add the image of a signature that is captured in the original form.

I can do this successfully but the problem is when the document is generated the signature can be huge and looks horrible.

Is there a way I can create a box in word that will restrict the size of the signature so that the whole signature is essentially squeezed into the box?

this is working with a signature field on a nintex automation cloud start event form using document generation action.

Thanks

Hi @Andy.Emery

Here is how it can be done

Save an existing signature image to your desktop.
Use image editing tools to resize that image. Try to maintain the width-height ratio
If the image ratio is not maintained, the final result might look squeeze.
Once, you have the correct size for the signature image. Save the image.
Use this resized image as the initial placeholder.
Update the Selection Pane with the image Tag from the Tagger .

Hi @Andy.Emery

You can do this by placing a placeholder image in the document where you want the signature, I like to take a screenshot of the signature area from the form so the proportions are the same.

Once it is there with the placeholder image selected, click the Format tab in the ribbon, and then Select Pane
