I use iTextPDF to generate PDF file from xpages document
 
I do some search from google and found this script from a blog.
It should insert an image to a PDF file, but it seems like not working
 
============================================================================================
 
var imageString = "http://" + facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest().getServerName()+ "/" +  db.getFilePath() + "/getImageURLView/A795D3AEB37B1D2848257ACD001688E2/$File/YTL_Logo2.gif";

var image:com.itextpdf.text.Image = new com.itextpdf.text.Image.getInstance(imageString);
 
============================================================================================
 
 
Could you guys tell me what is wrong with the script, TQ.

Re: iTextPDF insert image to PDF
 Did you "print" the string to verify that the produced string is correct?
 
If you put the produced string URL into a browser does it find the graphic? 
 
The code looks ok, except you can use the session and database global SSJS variables instead of having to invoke facesContext.

If this is running on a server, you need to make sure your server can do a DNS-lookup to find the url.
Print the url to the console, and do a check on the server to see if you can find it (using IE on Windows, or wget on Linux)
