Render tool corrupts image - PDFs only

Newt

The company logo (PrecisionAnalytics_160.png) seems to fine as I build the report, and looks fine when the Render tool outputs to Word or HTML.  But when set to output as a PDF (temporary or specified), the logo goes all abstract.  ??

Hi @Newt 

 

This issue is due to the PDF rendering working differently (read: not well at all) with the transparent background as compared to the other render targets. If you save the image as a .jpeg, which forces the background to white, the PDF render works just fine.

Thank you for the solution.

It would be even better if Alteryx kept a list of known bugs like this...
