I have a XHTML displaying rows from a dataTable having few texts columns and one image column. I have been able to export the text columns for all the records in pdf, but I am not able to export the images in the rows. I searched in lots of posts to find out a way to export the images from the rows, but failed. Please note that I am not looking for exporting a single image for header or footer, which can be handled by preProcessor attribute in the p:dataExporter tag. I found good hints/examples for exporting single image using PreProcessor in dataExport tag. The hints are working fine for me. But I was unable to find any hint/example for row-wise image export. Please help!
My technology stack: JSF2, PrimeFaces 4.0, itext-1.1.4, JDK1.8, GlassFish Server 4
My current xhtml output given below. I need to export the green ticks and red crosses to pdf.
