8 years ago Most likely if we accept a larger image file and reduce it for storage, that save image would be used in any documents and emails sent out. We cannot both not store the bigger image and send the bigger image.
The file upload image size restrictions are for display only (using CSS max-width) to ensure a large image does not completely alter the layout of the document.
As for rotating images, this requires that the image uploaded be in the right rotation to begin with as few web browsers will rotate an image (we've seen Safari in iOS do this, but even it doesn't seem to do it in the Mac version). In general, this means holding the ipad/iphone in landscape mode, with the camera lens at the top -- usually a quarter turn counter-clockwise when holding it normally in portrait mode.
We will investigate a way to allow uploaded images to be rotated and perhaps reduced in size before storage. Only this altered/modified image will be stored and used throughout.

My customer uses iPad for taking pictures for insurance incidents. Right now, I've added a photo upload field and set the image size (in the html) to 400 pixels wide. The photographs in the html version are sometimes rotated 180 or 90 degrees. The photographs in the pdf are also. The files sizes are full sized and will be taking up a LOT of server space once they get using this feature. I'd like to have the file sizes of the photographs reduce for storage.
I also have selected the option of having the photographs attach to the emails that go out at the end of the transaction; Ideally these would be full size for readability and not stored in the system. The reduced size ones would be stored.
