Image embedded in XML test report... now... how to embed in the PDF?

[Jed_Davidow]

Just what I asked.  I embedded a reference to an image in the Test Report via a simple < IMG=> Ref in the Report Text field.  So the image is in the XML file.

But the PDF just says "My Picture".  So... any way to get the image in there?

Instead of using the <IMG> tag maybe you should convert the image to base 64 and really "embed" it into the XML.  My guess is the PDF will render it properly if you do this.

For an example of how to do this check out the demo that ships with TestStand.  It demonstrates how to put base 64 images into your report.
