Hi, Facing an issue to render the image's in the PDF. Images are stored in the appian application folder.

Seems like we may need to convert all those images into base 64 but unable to find an option to convert an image to base64 string from rule directly.

Suggest me the best way to render the images in PDF that are stored in the appian folder.

Can you please provide the format in which we need to give the Appian image, such as document ID, document URL, or document base64?

Hi, this plugin started showing up in our appian health check report. It would be great, if this deprecated item is updated. Thank you!

The plug in is compliant to the OpenHTML2PDF standard. So, your HTML code has to be also, otherwise it is not working.
For examples you can look here: Appian rocks
For testing you can check here: OpenHTML2PDF

Hi,

We have an HTML file we are trying to convert into PDF. Sometimes the css styling is pulled in, and sometimes it is not (for example, it looks different in different browser types). What version of HTML is this plug in expecting? Has anyone else seen something like this happening?

Thanks!

Hi,

It was mentioned: adding an Appian image into the HTML file is not supported in this plugin. Will add this requirement to backlog.

This was already requested by another user - adding an Appian image to the html text.

Is there any chance to get to know, if this feature is planned for the next release?

Thanks
