Hi all,

I have created a report template by modifying the "Great Outdoors Template" that replaces their logo.gif with ours.  When I run the report in HTML view everything looks fine.  When I change the output to PDF, the logo is replaced by a blank box.

Directory locations of these two GIF files are different.

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is your URL for the .gif the fully qualified name?

it's something with security, when you run HTML, you need access to logo, when you generate PDF Cognos Service user needs access to gif

the report service must have access to the location of the appropiate image file, i.e. in a distributed environment, the report service must be able to resolve the domain within the gateway URI.

I had the same problem originally.  I found our company logo on the main page of our intranet site, and rooted out it's url.  Once I switched it to universally available location, everything worked out!

I'd be curious to know where on my Cognos server I should store graphics for report templates.  I'd like to make some specialized logos and icons for some new reports.
