PDF’s Images on Linux
How can I set an image on a picture control and print the pdf report, since the pictconvfrom command is not supported on omnis server headless and the restrictions for this version says:
-
Printing images to PDF in the headless server is restricted to PNG images (or true-color shared pictures) only.
-
-
Picture conversion functions are not supported: pictconvto, pictconvfrom, pictconvtypes, pictformat, pictsize (a runtime error is generated).

Hi Manuel,
Well it looks like you would need to provide PNG files if using the Headless Server.
Alternatively you could probably use oProcess worker to run terminal commands or oPython worker to do the conversion outside of Omnis?
Check out these technical notes:
Best,
Andreas

I’m not sure if this restriction only applies to background images. However, you can use PNGs in picture controls in reports. To do this, you need to set the $rawpictformat property to PNG.
