    So that customers don't have to fit each thing. 

     

    It also doesn't allow going back to a previous annotation, nor can the font size be changed. The image is blurred in a widget as well. Does this recognize and use iphone and android's native annotation tool?

    May you please clarify a bit about your request? 

    If you want to have a pre-filled form URL with the previous answers for one user, then you may do the following: 

    - Create a pre-filled URL of your form and provide it to the user, this way they can go back to this form and change anything as needed. 

    This guide will help you passing the data, the guide is about passing from one form to another, but the steps are the same to pass the data from the same form: https://www.jotform.com/help/351-How-to-Automatically-Pass-Form-Data-to-Another-Form 

    It also doesn't allow going back to a previous annotation, nor can the font size be changed. The image is blurred in a widget as well. Does this recognize and use iphone and android's native annotation tool? 

    Please also kindly provide more details about the widget you're using. 

    We will be happy to help you as soon as we get more details and clarification on your question. 

    Thanks.

    I am using the new annotation widget. I want to pre-populate annotations with field values on the image.  My image for the annotation is a paper form where I want the fields they previously filled appended to placements on the annotation widget the same way the new pdf form feature tries to allow.

    Hi! May I ask what is the form you have created? If you can link it here so we checked, this would help us to better understand what you are trying to do. 

    Thank you!

    I don't need to pass values to another form. I need the values to fit an image form appropriately. The widget I am using is your new annotation widget https://www.jotform.com/build/81820632784157.  

    Please make this post private as my form is to be private.

    I don't think it's possible at the moment. With PDF form, there's an actual field on the PDF version that is linked to the field on the form builder. 

    It would only be possible with the annotate picture widget if you can add a field unique name and freely move that to align it with your current image. However, it's not possible to add the unique name on the widget as per my test.

    Let us know if you have any questions or if you need further assistance.
