Hello,
The PlanetPress virtual drive's purpose is to emulate a printer's hard disk at design time. For example, if the images are to be printer-resident in production, you can save them on the virtual drive while designing the form and preview it with the downloaded images without the 'Run locally' option checked. The virtual drive cannot be used to print in real time.
That being said, the options are :
-embed the images in the form as image resources
-use external images, either printer-resident or on a network location
Since there are only two images, you could try to insert them as image resources and use them as static conditional images : two picture objects are placed in the same location on the page, each referring to one of the logos, and each of them is associated with a condition resolved to true or false according to a part of the data page so that only one is displayed at a time. Of course, you could also use them dynamically, with one picture object calling either image according to the data.
You can also dynamically call those images externally : in that case, it is recommended to make the images printer-resident and execute the form on the printer, but you can also install them on a network folder and run the form locally(with the 'Run locally' checkbox checked).
Of course, you may want to test different scenarios and see what you consider preferable.
Thanks.
