Create a custom form header

You are here:

UPDATE September 2023: This is a legacy article. There’s now a Header and Footer feature built into Sintel Forms. Please refer to the Form Header and Footer article for information.

This article shows how to build custom form headers and embed images into form sections.

Steps:

  1. Add a Section and make it first section on the form
  2. In the new section properties disable “Show title” option
  3. Populate “HTML text” box with a relevant code (example headers listed below).
Images that are used in custom headers must be publicly available otherwise they will not be included in the PDF export. If public hosting is not available then encode your images using a BASE64 image encoder such as BASE64 Image and then embed the code in your custom HTML
