If I include the following in a <Section> element in an XML document, I get an ArgumentException: Invalid image file name when I convert XML to PDF.

<Image Url="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41117000/jpg/_41117127_ele_ap_i203.jpg" Type="Jpeg" />

Hi,

Please use something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  <Pdf xmlns="Aspose.Pdf">
   <Section>
        <Image File="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41117000/jpg/_41117127_ele_ap_i203.jpg" Type="jpeg">
                <Title>JPEG image</Title>
        </Image>
   </Section>
  </Pdf>

Thanks.

Thank you. I was using the Url property to set the location of the image rather than the File property.

• What is the purpose of the Url property?
• If the File property is required, why is this not enforced in your schema?

Please note also the following error. In this XML, if the comment tags are removed, a timeout exception always occurs.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hi,

When the image is used as a hyperlink then the Url specifies the link to which it points. As for enforcing File attribute I will discuss this with the developers.

Also I was able to reproduce the error that you specified and will discuss that with the developers as well.

Thanks.

Hi,

We are going to modify the schema to enforce the File attribute. I have also logged the timeout error in out issue tracking system as PDFNET-4645. We will try our best to resolve this as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Hi,

The issue PDFNET-4645 has been fixed. Please try the attachment. Thank you very much for your patience.

Best regards.
