Export a report and include cell images

ClovisSS

Hey Guys,

Unsure if this has been raised before but I am trying to export a report to PDF and include an image currently added to a cell in the original sheet. If I export the sheet I can see the image but not when exporting the report.

Image shows on the report but when I export it, I can only see the image title (example: test.png) in that cell. Am I doing something wrong? I have tried several different ways without luck.

Any help would be much appreciated as it's critical for my staff to print out the report with the image showing.

Many Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to include the images in the PDF from a report, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a possible workaround, you could maybe use a sheet because it works on a sheet,

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic day!

Hi Andrée,

Thank you so much for your response. I imagined it wasn't possible as I tried everything I could to make it work before reaching out to the community.

I will definitely submit the Enhancement Request and hopefully it will be available in the near future.

Have a fantastic day as well.

Regards,

All, I have similar requirements. My users gave me a smartsheet with images loaded into the cell. I need to download those cell images as individual JPG/PNG files.

Hi Smartsheet,

Given the advancements since the original issue was posted back in 2016 and the improvements in processing and server capability since then, can the image limitation please be reviewed to increase the amount beyond 100? This feature is very limiting and causing extra effort to workaround. Can we increase to QTY 500?

Hi @Smyles

I hope you're well and safe!

Great idea! That would be a great update to Smartsheet features.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Hello! Has there been any progress toward adding the ability to retain images embedded in a Smartsheet cell when exporting to a .pdf? This would be a great help. Thank you. -Fred Hanawalt, University of Georgia, Enterprise Information Technology Services, Student Information Systems.
