Image Template

Use Image Template to create templates for images using annotations.

Tool Components

The Image Template tool has 2 anchors.

  • Input anchor: Use the input anchor to connect to the data that contains the images you want to create templates for.
  • Output anchor: Use the output anchor to pass annotations downstream.

Configure the Tool

  1. Add an Image Template tool to the canvas.
  2. Select Open Image to open File Explorer, which you can use to browse and find images. (You don't have to run the workflow. The PDF loads automatically.)
  3. Go to the pages you want to annotate using the arrow icons, or enter a specific page number in the text field.
  4. Drag anywhere on the image to create an annotation. Enter the annotation in the field. Use the dropdown to select whether you want to save the annotation as a string or an image. Save the annotation in Designer.
  5. To export the annotation outside Designer, select Annotations > Export and then choose a location. The annotations are exported separate from the image as a JSON file.
  6. To load annotations, select Annotations > Import and then choose annotations you've already saved as a JSON file.
  7. Run the workflow to pass the image annotations downstream.
