Uploading images on page submission​

The Rich Text Editor Pro plug-in excels in its ability to upload images seamlessly during APEX page submission, ensuring an uninterrupted user experience. Unlike the native Oracle APEX rich text editor, which uploads images immediately after embedding an image, the plug-in postpones the upload process until the page is submitted with a specific request. This approach minimizes distractions, allowing users to focus on their document editing tasks without frequent interruptions.
