View Full Version : Form as image

I want to capture a form as an image (or a Word document that keeps the design of the form and doesn't simply export the fields to a Word document) so I can email it to a client to print off and sign.

Something similar to producing report snapshots would be great. I've tried to export the form as a report to then create the snapshot but the data fields then show errors instead of things like the client's name and address. A screen capture won't work either because it won't show all the form.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If your press <PrintScrn>, Windows captures an image of the entire desktop, which you can paste into a wordprocessor, or edit in a paint package to just cut out the form.

Or you could get a screen capture utility; I use Xobject Capturer (freeware) which gives you the option to capture the whole screen, a selected rectangle, a selected application window or just the current object. There are any number of freeware screen capture utilities available if you look at www.tucows.com (http://www.tucows.com) or www.download.com (http://www.download.com) - I don't think Xobject capturer is available anymore, but if you don't find another that you like, I could email you the program.
