Hi!

I suggest you can try to use the PDF Utilities plug-in which has a specific utility to add a header to a PDF.

The link is the following:

Is the generated DOCX well formatted? Have you tried directly generate the PDF using XSL-FO?

Perhaps you should give a go as your final goal is to have an PDF.

But in your current process, after generating the DOCX, how the document looks like? Is the format as expected? With the headers in place as in the template?

Are you able to see the header image in the generated DOCX file?

I am directly adding the image in my word document template not in the input node(images) of the smart service! Can that be the issue ?
