Load image file as a sample
If you have an image file for a form design, you can load it as an image and use it as a sample. If you loaded an image file in monochrome BMP, 8/16/24-bit color BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, or TIFF format (uncompressed, G3 compression, and G4 compression) at a resolution of 400 dpi, you can extract ruled lines or characters from a sample and place them as items.
Note that this feature does not support loading of animation GIF, transparent GIF, or transparent PNG.
