Adding a Signature to the PDF exporter from the Signature Pad component

Hello,

Wondering if there is a method to add the base64 image data from a signature pad component to display the signature in the pdf exporter. I've had success displaying the signature pad image in a text component using the following:

`<img src="data:image/png;base64, {{signaturepad1.signatureImageFile.data}}" alt="Signature" />`

Unfortunately, to my knowledge, markdown won't accept this.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Hey @Joshua, what do you mean by the PDF exporter?

Sorry @justin, the PDF Exporter query.

Gotcha @Joshua. I've been playing around with it and it doesn't seem like you can put straight HTML in there, which would mean you're not going to be able to display that Base64 image from the Signature Pad component. We're using this library, so I'd try and see if there are any answers there:

Okay @justin, thank you for letting me know.

@Joshua and I went through this, and as a rough workaround we sent the images to S3 and pulled the URL into the pdf exporter. Adding in HTML to the pdf exporter is a good feature request as it would let us directly put base64 without an intermediary URL.
