BIRT failed to capture images parsed using XML datasource

<p>Hi all,</p><p> </p><p>I have a BIRT report designed to take in some fields in HTML, one of which is shown below: - </p><p> </p><p><p><strong>Apollo 11</strong> was the spaceflight that landed the first humans,<br />

I have tried rendering them in HTML and output them into a browser, the effect is fine and the image could be extracted correctly.</p><p> </p><p>Am I missing something along the way? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!</p><p> </p><p>Regards,</p><p>KK</p><p> </p>

<p>As you said, this isn't working from the PDF output.  I just get that the resource is not reachable.  You might log a bug for this to see what they say about it.  You also might want to search the bugs to see if something was filed already and just comment on that bug.</p>
