Image field properties in the Binding tab

When you create an image field, the Binding tab presents data binding options that you can apply to the object. Options that are not specifically related to creating a data connection apply both to data bound to a data source and data saved to a file when the object is not bound to a data source.

Name

Sets the image field name. See To name and rename objects.

Data Binding

Sets the default data-binding method:

Use name: Enables data merging and saving options. Data values are merged and stored implicitly according to Adobe data-merging rules.
Use global data: Associates a single data value with all objects that have the same name (see To define a global field).
New Data Connection: Starts the New Data Connection wizard. To define a connection using the wizard, see Create a data connection to an XML schema or Create a data connection to an OLE database.
No data binding: Disables data binding. Because the object will not capture or display merged data, any information associated with the object is not written as output when the form data is saved/submitted.

Import/Export Bindings

Sets an import/export binding for a WSDL data connection. See Create a data connection using a WSDL file.
