Embed documents (various file types) into report run as PDF

  • 1.  Embed documents (various file types) into report run as PDF

    Posted 10/03/19 03:13 PM
    ​We utilize a DB for Corrective Actions that is reportable through Cognos Analytics 11.  I am trying to get a report studio report, that prints to PDF, to be able to embed the attached documents into the report from a URL.  The URL points to a folder that holds the attachments (from what I can tell).  The report needs to display the document itself not just a link to the document.  The file types for these attachments vary amongst PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and pictures formats.  However I get this to embed I need it to be able to handle all of these file types.  I have tried using an HTML object but it just displays the path despite using the <EMBED> tags.
