Hi, anyone know if its possible to use PNGs with transparent colors when rendering PDFs? I works fine for excel/word but not for PDF files.
thanks in advance
Mika
I see your issue with the black background. I looked into it more and it seems like it is a known issue with the reporting tools. Out dev team has recieved feedback, but as of now there is not an ETA on a fix for this.
In the meantime, it seems users have had success with importing these images in as another Image file type. I would also suggest looking into the Render tool to "convert" from a PNG with a transparent background, to a PNG with a white/etc. background, although I am not sure if that would exactly work in your situation.
Check out the help documentation for more information on Rendering to a PDF and changing the background color.
Forgot to specify the error. Render 3 is the PDF im trying to create.
Hi @Mika_IONE,
I tried this .png image with a transparent background and was able to render to both a Temporary PDF and a regular PDF:Image
Is there perhaps something else about this image that is giving you trouble? Do you get the same error when trying out the image I linked?
Cheers,
@Mika_IONE I opened the png in MS Paint and filled the transparent surfaces with white as a workaround until the issue can be fixed in the engine.
Was this ever solved? I'm working on a bingo card generator for some Alteryx tools as the images. The interface tools are causing me problems. I don't get an error but it does come out black.
