The Edit Documents section actually uses html code which we then translate directly into pdf code. Because there's not a translation for everything, we've had to limit what could be done with the document editor. We will be adding more into this soon though as we've found a few work arounds to the PDF limitations.

For those of you trying to add images now. To the right of the font size is an invisible button. If you hover your mouse to the right of the font size button but centered with the button you will see a little button popup that you can click on. This button reveals the source code for the document. Here you can directly add images.

For example, here's a logo I have in my HIP directory. The <div align="center"> is for centering the image. Note the full path to the image is used for the src.
Code:
<div align="center">
      <img align="center" src="C:\Program Files (x86)\Home Inspector Pro2\Data\Documents\logo.png">
</div>

Then hit the invisible button again to switch back to the normal editor.

I couldn't get that to work on my system Bob. I tried for like 20 minutes. Plus you don't have as much control as this method. Eventually I'll have a nice insert photo button, but I need to make it work perfectly first.

But yes, as mentioned in the signature thread, the editor is actually interactive so you can try to paste a photo. Bob, were you pasting out of Spartan? Using the above method, the image size comes out normal too, I thought you were getting super large images when pasting.

I have been pasting from Sparten, but will your method allow any graphic image.

A simple ability to paste PDF would be the beast way.Any can do that.

I am looking even more forward to thumbs on comment page, or ability to scroll comments not chosen yet onto pics to save the extra back and foth process us 200 photo guys go through. Grin

Still working on that feature. This post is about a feature that's been there all along, just no obvious way to use it (as it was hidden on purpose). This works with any jpg, gif, png which is what Spartan was doing, pasting the link.

Well they can get the free version at free clip .com.
