Linking Image field with XML Schema

[Srini_Dhulipall]

I have a requirement that I am working on which would require me to generate dynamic PDF in such a way that the text as well as the images in that PDF should depend on the input XML that I recieve. So in this regard my question is how can I link an image field with an element in the sample data XML or with an element in the schema. Does this feature supported by the tool. Can generated PDF have dynamic images in them.

Any help towards this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yes ...the easiest way is to embed the contents of teh image (base64 encoded) into the xml file and then bind the image field to the tag in the XML.

Thank you Paul for your reply..

We have the images stored in a fileserver with the .jpeg format. We get the relative path to the folder on the server and passed as part of the XML tag value. In this scenario, can you help me how I can embed the image.. or can I attach the URL path to the property..

Thanks

If it is possible can you retrieve the image contents from the DB and embed them in the data file? You will have to base64 encode it.
