Hi ,

I have a paragraph rule with some text, i added a image in below 2 ways. In neither of the ways generated pdf is having image instead has a blank space in place of image.

  1. Browse and upload image into paragraph rule from desktop

  2. Upload image as binary file in webwb folder, add this image in a section using image control.

Generated pdf but no image found instead white blank space appears.

@Pavanir6 To resolve the issue of images not displaying in the generated PDF you can try the following steps: 1. Ensure that the images are correctly referenced in the paragraph rule. Instead of directly uploading the image use a Binary File and hard code the reference to that file. For example you can use the pega:contentURL tag with the appropriate attributes. 2. If you are using a customized PDF generation tool like PD4ML make sure that the images are accessible and correctly referenced in the HTML content. You might need to use base64 encoding for the images to ensure they are embedded correctly in the PDF. 3. Verify that the images are not subject to any visibility conditions that might prevent them from being displayed in the PDF. 4. If the issue persists consider using custom Java code to handle the image conversion and embedding process. These steps should help you resolve the issue of blank spaces appearing instead of images in the generated PDF.

Below logic worked.

Turn on source mode and paste code as below at the top of paragraph rule.

Note :RULE-FILE-BINARY xxxx seen below is pzinskey of the image uploaded as binary file.

<%
String OrgLogo=tools.getDatabase().open(“RULE-FILE-BINARY WEBWB xximagename !PNG #20241212T083900.851 GMT”,false).getString(“pyFileSource”);
%>

later added below statement to include my image
