PDF Reports Troubleshooting

Issue: How to use Dynamic Image

 

Potential Cause:

You want to add dynamically generated images into your pdf documents. Images will be given either in binary format loaded from file/database or as file name.

Solution:

You need to put dynamic image into your balloons. You can put it inside static or inside dynamic balloon but in most cases you will need to place it inside dynamic balloon. Dynamic image is used similar way as dynamic text is used.
SourceColumn and SourceDataStream need to be specified for each dynamic image found on your report.

Also you need to be sure that ImageType is set to appropriate value.

Possible values are:

FileSystem – this means you will supply generator with file names instead of binary data. This is preferred method for using dynamic images
DataBmp – you will be responsible for giving generator BMP images in binary format. This is useful if your images are not stored in file system.
DataJpg – you will be responsible for giving generator JPG images in binary format. This is useful if your images are not stored in file system.
DataGif – you will be responsible for giving generator GIF images in binary format. This is useful if your images are not stored in file system.
DataPng - you will be responsible for giving generator PNG images in binary format. This is useful if your images are not stored in file system.
