Hi,
Actually image will be stored in knowledge center, user will be uploading that image in the process, and at the end I need to generate PDF.
In that PDF need to have grid which will show user and his respective uploaded image.

Hi shwetad

1.Convert the image to base64 format using any online tool.

2.Add the converted base64 string in .xsl file by using below tag, (replace <base64 string> with converted base64 string)

  <fo:external-graphic src="url('data:image/jpeg;base64,<base64 string>')"/>

Hello shwetad,

As of now there are two options available.

1) To expose your images in a public repository/ private repository visible to Appian. And access it with the url.

2) to pass them to the smart service as parameters encoded as base64.

For both options you have to add some tags to the XSL-FO. Maybe in the future the plugin can support passing images stored in the knowledge center, but this is not currently supported.
