Scenario
The signature design requires the use of a background image, in the template.
Solution
To check the image size, find the image in the folder it is stored within right click on the image -> Properties
In the properties window click on Details - you will be able to see the size of the image here, under dimensions
If the image is too big, you may want to consider using an image editor such as Adobe Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.net etc. to reduce the image down. A recommended width for this is 600px wide.
Once you know what the image size is, you can proceed to building the signature template
Steps
To get started, drag the custom table onto the signature canvas
Choose a 1x1 table structure, this will allow you to upload a background image to start with
Then, in the properties window on the table -> upload the custom image
After clicking yes, go to size and set the height and width of the image onto the table
You will be able to see the image appear inside the table, and in the design preview.
Once the image is in place, you can then layer on tables and elements to further construct your signature template and use padding and alignments, to space out the design further
As an example, here we have used a table of two columns with white text due to the dark background of the image
We have added some padding to the left on the table, to move this away from the edge of the background image - the Golden Yellow Line
It may look odd when structuring the signature, this is normal for this to occur, you will be able to see in the preview how this is looking
We have also aligned this table to be vertically centred and aligned left horizontally
Also we have used padding on the Green Line of the left hand table cell to add space before the contact fields
This is the end result, a nice clean and simple design
If your design is more complicated, use more table cells where needed and don't be afraid to use padding to align the signature accordingly
