    Hi, I need to create a document from HTML, which has about 200 images. Since these image sources are URL's (for example, http://www.example.com/image/1.png), I wasn't able to use the addImage() method. I guess it only works with local files, correct? Also, directly using embedHTML() doesn't insert the images in the document, but only creates a link for them. Therefore, when offline the images aren't loaded. Ok, so what I do is to replace all the images with variables, save the document, and then open it again as a template, in order to use the replaceVariableByHTML() method. I did that because using this instead of embedHTML() actually inserts the image, instead of creating a link. Here's the problem: when I did the test with a couple of images, it went ok, but when I tried with 200, it keeps processing until timeout (30s I think). Is there something wrong with my approach? If so, is there any way to increase the timeout? Thank you very much! P.S.: Wasn't in scope but... the replaceVariablebyHTML() method always replaces entire block, regardless of the parameter that was passed on.
