PDF printing with embedded HTML

Question

Hi all.... I am running Apex 4.0.2.00.07 on 10.2.0.4.
I have a report that looks beautiful on a web page
it's in in an interactive report with a 2 level grouping
the data is 4 columns
image, html table, image, html table
The image is not stored in the database, it's in an images folder that I use the following code to display
<pre>
<img class="mainimage" src="/images/112045_cha.jpg" border=0>
</pre>
As for the class, that's in a css at the top
<pre>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
.mainimage {
max-width: 200px;
max-height: 200px;
width: expression(this.width > 200 ? "200px" : true);
height: expression(this.height > 200 ? "200px" : true);
</STYLE>
</pre>
When i look at it in the report, it looks nice, but my requirement is a need to print it.
If i just print it from the browser, my rows don't line up at page breaks.
If I export to HTML, my images don't retain the css tag and are too big (also the breaks are not honored)
If I export to PDF, the breaks are not honored and the HTML is displayed (the img tags and the table displaying the data).
I have FOP configured, BI Publisher is not an option due to budget.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Check this link,

You can use portalpagenav function and refrence the target report in the column data format instead of go url.
