#1020 - How to Display Drawing Field in PDF Templates
I'm sure I'm not going to be the first person to ask this, as given that you've created an awesome plugin that TONS of people in the SugarCE community have been waiting for, many others are going to want to know how to do this as well.
Especially those who are using Quote and Invoice modules like AOS from SalesAgility. This drawing plugin would be the perfect companion to allow signature for proposals, invoices and contracts. I've been able to place drawing fields easily into AOS Quotes and Invoices, but for some reason, those drawing fields, while showing up beautifully on the screen, will not print on the various PDF templates. I've attempted a variety of strategies and methods to insert the drawing field ... the point it will even allocate a large blank square the size of the field... just no drawing shows up.
Maybe the problem is with AOS, so I tried creating a simple PDF report using AlienalSol's reporting module. Nothing comes out in PDF form either.
My guess is that there is something special that needs to be done to get an "image field" to carry over to a PDF. Can you point me in the right direction?
If we can get this working for AOS, I think you will have many folks who will want this plugin, as there have been many posting on the board asking for this functionality.
Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know such a great feature. I'll have to discuss with our engineer team as it is true that Image field is not supported in CE we had to bypass that to let our module works even in CE (first version was Pro Only)
The case will remain open until I see if we are able to improve this and will post back here results from our team.
Again Don, many thanks for your great feedbacks.

Hi Cornel,
This feature requires to patch/updates AOS and we can't bunddle any AOS file inside the core package, and we would need to be able to know the AOS version used. Mr Kennedy finally subscribes to an extra developpement quote to let our engineer team do the work for him.
If you're interested for a quote, please reach us at modules@captivea.fr

Just so everyone is aware, the modification that Yannick at Captivea did to allow the drawing field to work with AOS Invoices and Quotes works great. In total, it is a much less expensive solution than the other solutions out there if all you need is a basic signature capture.

I havent recieved a response to my repeated emails to also purchase this feature for over a year. About to abandon for something else. :( Sad because it would serve us perfectly, but we cant continue to wait for a response from support.

MIchah, You could attempt to contact Bill Nguyen at YouAddOn.com ... as he has helped me with this plugin even though he didn't write it. Bill's Skype id is "youaddon" and it is the quickest way to contact him. Or you can email him at bill@youaddon.com Don

Also, here is a picture showing it working in SugarCE in Edit view, QuickCRM and the generated PDF. It works for both Quote and Invoice modules.
