A PDF created with FRX2Any from a report format does not contain image through a Picture/OLE Bound control
I have created a PDF with FRX2Any successfully but an image that shows properly when printing or previewing the report does not print on the PDF.
Here is the current setup of the Picture/OLE Bound control on the report:
Control Source Type: Expression or Variable Name
Control Source : tablename.logo_path -- this field contains the full path to the image.
I have tried the following:
Copying the image at runtime to the directory that the PDF is being generated in and changing the Control Source Type to Image File Name on the report also setting a variable with the new path to that image and putting the variable into the Control Source.
Adding a General field to the table that I am getting the path from putting the image in the General field and changing the Control Source Type to General Field Name while also change the Control Course to that field name.
You can reference this question to see an issue that I had with getting the PDF to print values from my form.

Thank you for the response. I will do some more research.
It seems FRX2Any is never more available for download so I cannot help with it.
Or do you have the download link available?

I have decided to go with FoxPreviewer. It seems to work well for creating the PDF with images and has other features that are good also.
Thank you for your help pcelba.

I hoping that I do not need any support but if I get into other things with it then I will probably check out XFRX.
This seems to be a good decision for now. You can still send the FRX2Any for my personal investigation. Address is in my profile.
I did not test FRX2Any yet, so I may just guess it does not support images.
If FoxyPreviewer isn't suitable in this case try to use some PDF printer driver like e.g. BullZIP PDF Printer or you may try to search internet for PDF printer driver which allows to define output file programmatically.
XFRX also supports PDF creation. And XFRX as a paid product still has active support.
