Good morning. I'm writing this question to see if someone can provide a new idea! I saw couple blogs talking about, but without good result.

I am trying to generate an atlas, given an Oracle database, of different files, each one with its ID, generating a PDF file for each one.

The problem appears when adding a common image, such as a logo. If it comes from a reader, when doing a "fanout" on the writer, how it detects that it does not have an ID generates a file separate from the others, with the common information.

After trying with a cloner, feature merger, or adding an attribute that is the path to the image for each record, I cannot get it to be seen (I can show that the path is physically written).

Any ideas? Thank you so much!

Any common items, such as that logo, will have to be duplicated for every output PDF and get the appropriate attribute you're fanouting on.

 

I usually do that through an unconditional join: e.g. a FeatureMerger with the same value for both requestor and supplier key (value, not attribute!)
