I can't add the PDFs in each plan created with the script

DesignScript

I am creating a script that allows me to add a blueprint for each PDF in the specified path. However, I am not able to add the image of the PDF in the blueprint. Any problem with the ImageType instance and its arguments?

clr.AddReference("RevitAPI")
clr.AddReference("RevitAPIUI")

# Importar DocumentManager y TransactionManager
clr.AddReference("RevitServices")

from RevitServices.Persistence import DocumentManager
from RevitServices.Transactions import TransactionManager

# Obtener el documento actual
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument

rutas = IN[0]
caracteres = IN[1]
nGuiones = IN[2]

TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

def create_plano(doc, nombre, r, i):
    # Obtener la ubicación del centro de la hoja
    center = XYZ(0, 0, 0)

    # Crear una nueva hoja de vista
    plano = ViewSheet.Create(doc, ElementId.InvalidElementId)
    plano.SheetNumber = nombre

    # Crear una nueva instancia de ImageTypeOptions para importar la imagen
    image_type_options = ImageTypeOptions(r, True, ImageTypeSource.Import)

    # Crear el ImageType en el documento activo
    image_type = ImageType.Create(doc, image_type_options)

    # Mover la imagen a la ubicación del centro de la hoja
    imageInstance = ImageInstance.Create(doc, plano.Id, center, image_type.Id)

for r in rutas:
    nombre = (r.rsplit("\\", 1))[1]
    nombre = nombre[:len(nombre) - (caracteres + 4)]

    if nombre.count("-") != nGuiones:
        nombre = nombre[:len(nombre) - 3]

    i=1
    
    for i in range(20):
        i +=1
        try:
            create_plano(doc, nombre, r, i)
        except:

Hello @oneiber_v and welcome !

Note,
Errors should never pass silently, so this syntax should be avoided

        try:
            create_plano(doc, nombre, r, i)
        except:
            break

Hello, thank you for replying. I have tried but I got the following error.

Advertencia
PythonEvaluator.Error en la operación
Evaluate.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File line 60, in
File “”, line 39, in
create_sheet_by_pdf
Exception: options.Path: unexpected
relative path or bad request to relativize a
path.
Parameter name: options

some problem with the path, it has only generated a plan for a single pdf of all specified in the path, also it does not add the image/pdf to the created plan. For some reason I always fail to insert the image/pdf to the plan.

Hi,
I’m not unable to reproduce this error without more information

try to use this method to check if the path is correct (before to call create_plano method)
