How do I constrain an Advanced PDF Template's image element to a certain width and height but also keep the image's original aspect ratio? This needs to work with a variety of images with different aspect ratios.

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite's Advanced PDF templates, you can't directly set a max-width or max-height while maintaining the image's aspect ratio. The BFO PDF Library, which NetSuite uses for Advanced PDFs, doesn't support the
max-width
or
auto
properties for height/width. However, you can use a workaround to achieve this. You can create a script that resizes the image before it's used in the PDF. This script would take the image, check its dimensions, and then resize it to fit within your desired max-width and max-height while maintaining the aspect ratio. This resized image can then be used in the PDF. Here's a pseudo-code example of how this might work:
Copy code
pseudo
function resizeImage(image, maxWidth, maxHeight) {
    var width = image.width;
    var height = image.height;

    if (width > maxWidth || height > maxHeight) {
        var ratio = Math.min(maxWidth / width, maxHeight / height);

        return image.resize(width * ratio, height * ratio);
    }

    return image;
}
Please note that this is a workaround and might not work in all cases. Also, this requires some scripting knowledge and might not be suitable for all users. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
