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

Hi luciachen,

I tested a similar input file with the updated plugin and it worked fine. Could you kindly forward the input HTML Document to the "team.int.swatcustomdev@wns.com" email address for further analysis?

Regards,
Snehasri S.
