Hi,

I use this plugin to generate a document that contains an image from the form. This works well when the name of the image is of the form xxx.jpg but if the file name contains a space as "xxx xxx.jpg" I get an error. The image is correctly loaded on the server but does not inserted in the document.

Is it possible to rename the file?
Is it possible to add a treatment for special characters?

Here's how I insert the image:

thank you,

Cédric

Hi,

We can confirm the same issue, and therefore have the same questions.

The issue only appears when we want the the PDF to contain an image which some one has uploaded.

The file is saved in the database and is ok if inserted into either user or admin email or thank you page.

Thanks
Henk

Confirmed - I get this as well. A bit of a nuisance, as many of my users use Apple PCs and just aren't used to trimming/removing spaces and illegal characters from filenames. A bit of REGEX in the code may sort that one.

I also have another problem (which I'll log in the support forum):

If you have an ADMIN email *and* a USER email both using pdf output, the ADMIN pdf doesn't embed the images properly (though the links it creates instead work fine).

If you use the latest RSForm! Pro & PDF Plugin, you can use the following placeholder:
{your_field_name:localpath}
this will replace "your_field_name's" value with the local path of the image found on the server (eg. /home/public_html/path/to/uploaded/image.jpg).
Remember that this path should only used in the PDF layout.

@octavian,

Thanks that solved my issue, images with spaces are now appearing fine in my users email PDF.

Note please can someone add this to the "pdf plugin" page as it looks like others need this info and there seems to be no reference to this anywhere.

Thanks
Again

Thanks for the heads up - this article has been updated to include a reference to the localpath placeholder.
