Thanks in advance!!

Is the image present in the path specified?

If you are following the AppSheet standard for Image taking/upload, then you should only need to specify the Image column in the PDF template like any other column.

In your table you should have a column defined as "Image".  By default, if you were to change nothing else, when the image is uploaded, AppSheet will place it in a folder named "Images" and then write that path + derived file name into your datasource.  If you are using a sheet as a data source, paths are relative to the sheet location.  Once you start uploading images you CANNOT MOVE THE SHEET or thos eimage paths will break.

Alternatively, you can specify the folder/path name in the column config and that is used instead of the default.  Again, if sheet is used, the path is relative to the location of the sheet.  So if you use a path of "Work/Pictures", AppSheet will create subfolder "Work" at the location of the sheet and then insert the subfolder Pictures inside of "Work"

On the PDF side, you will only need to use the image column as normal, <<[Image]>>.  If you are seeing the path + name details, that likely means the folder or image was not found and indicates something moved, an issue with image being written or the path was not specified as expected.

Please provide image column definition for more help is needed.

I hope this helps!
