The image file types that are supported include Jpeg, Gif and Tiff formats. Once you create the PDF file you can use Alliance APIs to send the PDF file to an email recipient or to transfer the PDF file to a remote Web server. The image files can be in Jpeg, Gif, or Tiff format. You store the image files in the IFS directory and reference them in the application or API you are using to create the PDF file. You can place images on the first page only or on all pages.
Graphic images can overlay text or mask text depending on the characteristics of the image file.
Forms overlay in PDF documents PDF documents can contain both text and images. If the images are designed around the data in order to produce a form effect, you can use Alliance APIs to create forms using this overlay process. The forms image can be in Jpeg, Gif or Tiff formats. Email PDF documents PDF documents can be sent as attachments to email so that they can be automatically opened by the recipient. PDF reports can optionally contain graphic images.
