Hello everyone! Please help to solve the following problem.

In the app I have a container with filled fields and an image.

From this container, using the PDF function, I generate a PDF file.

Set(varPdfText; PDF(pdfPreviewContainer; 
 {ExpandContainers: true; 
 Size:PaperSize.A4; 
 Orientation:PaperOrientation.Portrait;
 Margin:"10px";
 DPI:96}
 )
)

The images I add are stored in a folder on Sharepoint.

I add images to the container using links (as shown in the screenshot)

The problem is the following. When viewing the container, the image is displayed, everything is fine. But when I generate the PDF file - the image disappears.

Please help to solve this problem.

Hi @ilvutchenko ,

The experimental PDF function still has some shortcomings including image handling. One in particular is URL-based images, which from my experience (and yours here) it simply will not display them. You can try using the ‘{Thumbnail}’ option directly from the SharePoint Library as this seems to work OK on a single image.
