   Hi,
   I have a report using templates. In the template I use an image. In html export the image is shown.
   When I try to export to pdf, the image is gone.
   Any idea how to solve this?

   Johan,
   do you use relative or absolute paths in your template images?

   Hi,
   I've tried

   <img style="width: 233px; height: 137px;" src="./user/NieuwCAW_logo.png" height="137" width="233" alt="">

   and
   <img style="width: 233px; height: 137px;" src="user/NieuwCAW_logo.png" height="137" width="233" alt="">

   Johan,
   myDBR uses wkhtmltopdf to create the PDF. myDBR first stores the HTML-version of the report into the temp-directory, then runs wkhtmltopdf-against the file. When you use relative paths in templates, what happens is that wkhtmltopdf tries to locate your images from "/tmp/user...." which of course does not exists.

   You can use full URL's "https://yourserver/mydbr/user/NieuwCAW_logo.png" to define the image source.

   Alternatively you can define $mydbr_defaults['export']['wkhtmltopdf']['tmp_directory'] value in user/defaults.php and add symbolic link to mydbr user-directory there. Then you can use relative paths.

   Fadi,
   how does your custom font definition look like in the CSS?

   in userstyle.css

   @font-face {
   font-family: 'Gotham Medium';
   src: url('http://10.200.4.99/API/user/fonts/Gotham-Medium.otf') format('opentype');
   }

   @font-face {
   font-family: 'GE SS Two Light';
   src: url('http://10.200.4.99/API/user/fonts/GE_SS_Two_Light.otf') format('opentype');

   There seems to me an issue with wkhtmltopdf. We'll take a look at it.

    Fadi,
    the custom font issue with wkhtmltopdf is now fixed. wkhtmltopdf had problems with some ES& JS code which caused problems with the font.

    No need to use full URL in the font url as it is relartive to the CSS file being used. You can use:

    @font-face {
    font-family: 'Gotham Medium';
    src: url('fonts/Gotham-Medium.otf') format('opentype');
    }
