Due to the way Word DOCX files are designed, embedding dynamic images in a Word document is not as simple as when you are using our Builder. But, it is still possible with a little bit of work. Below is a quick tutorial on how you can embed a dynamic image (signature, uploaded picture, etc) into your DOCX documents. For this example, we will be embedding a Formstack signature in our DOCX.

First thing you will need to do is embed an image in your document as placeholder for where you want the final image to go. The size that you make this image placeholder will be the size that the final image will be. It is important to note that you must use a placeholder with the same file format (JPG or PNG) as the final image.

If you do not have an image placeholder to use, we have built an image generator that you can use. Here is an example URL:

http://www.webmerge.me/images/image.php?width=300&height=100&type=png

If you go to that URL, it will load an image. Simply right-click the image and copy the image, then paste that image into your word document. In the URL, you will notice there is width and height setting so you can control the size of the image.Â

Also, the type parameter (possible values: png or jpeg) controls the type of the image. Go ahead and change those parameters to create a customized image.
Â


The next step is the setup the variable placeholder for your image. You can put this placeholder anywhere in your document – it is simply used to map the image URL to the image element in your document. For the most part, it’s the same format as other variables, but we will add a little more info. Below is an example variable placeholder for the image:

{$MyImage|image:1:png}

In the above example, the variable name is “MyImage”, then the “|” indicates options after. Each image in a DOCX is stored using a numerical identifier, so the “1” in the image indicates that identifier. Determining the image number may take some trial and error if you are using images in header or footers – the numbering scheme seems to be inconsistent in that case. The “png” in the placeholder represents the image type (possible values: png, jpg, or jpeg).

Once you have that in place, you’re all set!
