Same content as the HTML report, just in PDF format?

What about tagged files and pictures? For HTML, we save a copy of them in the folder. I’m assuming for a PDF file you would not expect to get a copy of the tagged files, right?

This is what I have been trying to figure out for a while now. I am trying to generate a report in any format at this point that will include links to the tagged files that will open if clicked. For example, the html report lists the tagged files and lists the file path but there is no way to view the file from the report. I would like an opportunity to include an evidence folder with the report and make the file path a hyperlink pointing to the location within the evidence folder.

Hi Henry,

Check out the following report plugin I created for an organization at the following link [https://github.com/markmckinnon/Custom\_Autopsy\_Plugins](https://github.com/markmckinnon/Custom_Autopsy_Plugins). If you copy the SPAI\_Model\_Report\_Module directory into the python\_modules directory you can then run this custom report plugin which should give you basically what you are looking for. If this is what you are looking for then you can modify it to fit your needs, if you are not comfortable modifying it let me know what you want and I can modify it for you.

Kind regards.

Mark

Based on Mark’s, I created report plugin that is printable, can display image files with exif matadata (device make, GPS position), video preview (if html supported), preview text files (if mime = text/?) and can be easy translated to your language.

Hi Mark! Long time no see… We have an issue with all the imported reports. I think they were made for Python2, but it’s only python 3 that runs in our new machines… Is it possible to adapt and upgrade your SPAI module report? Thanks a lot for all the work!

Kind regards.

Fabrice

Hi! Same question as for Mark, is it possible to upgrade this report module to work with Autopsy 4.23.1 and for python 3? Thanks a million.

Kind regards.

Fabrice.

Hi Fabrice,

Good news! The module has been updated — it now includes several new features and should work with Autopsy 4.23.1. Please grab the latest version from the repository and give it a try.

I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know how it goes and share any feedback or issues you run into.

Kind regards,  
Grzegorz
