Thanks for the suggestion. we have a vault server - using pro but I don't think that is linked to that issue but for context.
Our work folder is in C:/VaultWF so I have copied the 2024 design data as per the instructions from public that has the new data into the vault WF to equate the instructions for a network share.
The problem persists and the pdf still doesn't show any pictures. if you check the pdf, it is referencing a location for the pics that has not been created. The image reference location is: C:/VaultWF/Workspace/~~/~~/FEA/Images/Content/1/Result_0_1.bmp (I am working in C:/VaultWF/Workspace/~~/~~/FEA)
I removed some of the file path for sharing.
However, there is not a folder in my FEA folder called Images.
is this then a permission issue where inventor cannot make the folder or something?
