PDF Image Render

[JMPeterson]

When using automations to generate custom PDF reports, we tend to run across an issue where not all images render in the report. The image itself is valid in the actual app, and you can click the link to open the image in GDrive.

We can run the report again, and it may render properly the second time. There does not seem to be a consistent reason, as which images fail to come through seems random and the size of the report doesn't seem to have a direct impact either.

Is anyone else seeing a similar issue or have any suggestions on how we might minimize this type of error in the future?

This has been this way for ages without a proper solution, I'm sorry

I was afraid of that. I appreciate the reply!

Hi @JMPeterson @SkrOYC , I'm experiencing the exact same. This post was over a year ago, has there been any development on this? I appreciate you help or update!

Unfortunately I have no additional context to provide. We have gravitated away from relying on AppSheet document generation, particularly for images.

@JMPeterson Have you found any worthwhile solutions for replacing Appsheet document generation or do you mean you just gravitated away in general from trying to offer image documents to clients via Appsheet. 

[JMPeterson]

The only solutions we've looked at that had just as much, if not more functionality required a good amount of investment and came with a hefty price tag.

FYI, using HTML templates, I haven't seen this in a while

Thanks both, I will try using a HTML template.
