Hey guys,
Has anyone been able to figure out how to display images in PDFs ? My intention is to have images displayed in the letterhead of sales invoices.
I have tried every little solution on this forum, on version 13 nothing works.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
No, when printing the PDF, the image doesn’t appear at all.
I’ve tried with adding the hostname in the site_config.json, I’ve tried with having an external url for the image, I’ve tried everything I’ve found on this forum from other people having the same issue.
Troubleshooting wkhtmltopdf is a nightmare. That’s a major part of the reason, I believe, that v14 switches over to weasyprint. The only advice I can give is to find a way to get the problematic html saved as a file, then try running wkhtmltopdf manually from the command line. This will at least show you the errors.
So I think I found a workaround, it seems when you use the Print function, actually you can save as PDF and that looks proper as it should.
This is the only work around I could find.
Yeah, great if that works for you. It’s a matter of who handles the rendering. With “Print”, it’s your browser, and with “PDF”, it’s wkhtmltopdf.
FYI, if you ever want to attach documents to an email sent from a doc form, you’ll have to do it manually. The “Attach document” feature uses wkhtmltopdf as well.
Thanks Peter, you’re amazing!
