Signature Element

[mitja100]

I have List of 100+ records including signature using Signature element. When preparing PDF output, process colapse or freeze, because too much data to calculate. It works ok with approx 30 signatures at a time.
I think it is because of time and processor consuming operation of calculation coordinates XY array to image.

My questions (and problems):
- how to optimize list for bigger outputs (few hundred records)
- is it possible to "save as image" (blop) to database instead of array of cooridinates?
- signature on PDF output is too big. How to make small representation of signature (resize). I would like to keep big drawing area (300x150), but I would like to print it out as 100x50px.

Thank you!

PDF output has its limits, depending on your data/layout it should be working for ca. 30 list records at one time (this is not related to signature element).

Print/PDF output:
You can select an alternative (custom) PDF list template in list settings. E.g. you can copy the bootstrap layout folder to bootstrap-PDF and put there some custom CSS for resizing the signature element.

Thank you.
Yes, I am following

and

But do not know where (and what to) set to get smaller image (lets say 100px width).
I can live with 30 list records, but if they go on one page. Now I have 5 signatures on one A4 page ant that's why I would like to resize them.

Thank you for your support.

Do you have a link to your list?

You have to add something like
#listform_$c td img (width:100px)
to custom_css.php

Thank you. It woks in list view, but I still have primary problem - PDF is same - big image.
How to resize image in PDF?

Did you select pdf_mitja as PDF template?
Try with
#listform_$c td img (width:100px!important)

Sorry and thank you troester
I selected right template only for front-end but not also for PDF. Now it is exactly as I needed.

Great support! Thank you!
