Hi Guys,  
I just brought that feature into OpenEMR and will be in first v502 patch.  
It runs from demographics patient documents and html or text templates are imported in portal dashboard for now. see: [Adding Patient Portal Document Templates to OpenEMR Patient Documents](https://community.open-emr.org/t/adding-patient-portal-document-templates-to-openemr-patient-documents/12141)

You can go nuts with templates if using html. I did this feature to grow it and have intention of adding to encounters where i’ve already added signature data types to LBF for getting signatures from patients.

It’s a start anyway.  
Oh, filled templates end up as pdf’s  
Oh Oh:) I can easily add an image tag/keyword to add images to document.
