Cfdocument of pdf type not showing images?

Question

Through cfdocument I am generating a pdf file and sending the same to the user. But the images are not appearing on that pdf document.

I am not sure what type path i should use absolute/relative and what should be the value of localurl attribute?

Answer 1

We have had issues in the past with images not showing up in PDFs generated using CFDOCUMENT. Our issue was that our HTTP server required the use of an IP address for internal ColdFusion requests.

Although we could view the image in the browser using either URL, CFDOCUMENT couldn't access the images using the domain name. This might be your issue.
