Output Issue

[Dreamtheater]

Hello,

I have a report that has an image. And the image is using an external URL (yahoo finance web site URL).
The issue I have is when I run the report in HTML the image is rendered good but in PDF the image doesnot get rendered.
I opened a case with Cognos and now they confirmed that it is a bug and the image will not render when run in PDF.

Now I have to think of a work around. I will list out some of them I have in mind.

1) Buy a converter to convert from HTML to PDF...
2) Convert the HTML to Word...and then write a process to convert the HTML file to PDF or Word once the HTML is generated.

Also note that the report is a huge report. Can you please let me know if any of these is a feasible work aroundââ,¬Â¦Ã¢â,¬Â¦... by using the converter will I get the image rendered...

Or any of you guys have dealt with a similar kind of a situation and a work around...i need the output in a portable form like PDF.......

Please let me know. Itââ,¬â,,¢s really urgent. Any kind of suggestion is really appreciated

Thanks a Lot,
