@Pavani_Regulagedda You can try by storing the image as a Rule-File-Binary record and read its pyFileSource value (Base64) in the Paragraph using a DB open call. In the same Paragraph rule, render the image with an HTML <img> tag using a data URL like data:image/png;base64, plus the Base64 string. Then include that Paragraph rule inside your non-autogenerated Section that is wrapped with <pd4ml:transform> so PD4ML converts it into PDF content. In your Activity, generate the full HTML using Property-Set-Stream into a string property (like Local.theHTML) and make sure it includes the Section that contains the Paragraph. Finally, call the ootb HTMLToPDF activity with that HTML string, and the image will appear in the generated PDF.
