Note
It's worth noting that while Sintel Forms can't be used with SharePoint Document Libraries directly you can use them as linked lists with your forms and this is particularly useful for storing files related to a form especially images or photos which you can then preview and annotate within Sintel Forms. Check out the Using Linked Lists article for more info.
