  • {workbook_inf} does not support command: '{getImage/getPDF}' through Web API. 
  • Default image for WORKBOOK with name: '{workbook_name}' is missing.

Getting images and PDF does not work via Web API, which is used only for "trusted" auth. Try switching to REST API at the Advanced Configuration Page > Loading Strategy if using "trusted" auth is not critical for your configuration.
