Inserting images in Formstack Documents via Ibexa Connect

To create merged documents with images (e.g. signatures) via Ibexa Connect, you need to know the URL to the image or the base64 representation of the image (i.e. data:png;base64,\<BASE 64 HERE>) so that Ibexa Connect can pass this information to WebMerge and the image can be embedded. Detailed information on how to build documents and embed images in WebMerge can be found under the following links:
