NX Image is missing when publishing Work Instructions as PDF

When publishing Work Instructions to PDF, the images are missing in the created PDF file.

Solution

To be able to publish Work Instructions to PDF, an open source application called wkhtmltopdf has to be installed on the computer (in the default location C:\Program Files\wkhtmltopdf). However, the behavior has changed in version 0.12.6. It now disables local file access as default, which causes this problem with images.

The workaround is to install wkhtmltopdf 0.12.5 instead.
