Here's a message exchange between Tim Cook and Ed Colmar that may help:
(Ultimately, you may want to look at Zope's source code.)

Hi Tim

Grab my GreetingCard product off zope.org:
www.zope.org/Members/8days/GreetingCard/

To answer your question here is a code snippet:
            ## This file is uploaded by the user into a localFS folder
            uploadedfile = str(self.uploadedimage.file_name())

c.drawInlineImage(uploadedfile,1.25*inch,1.25*inch,width=5.75*inch,height=4*
inch)

            ## This image is a hardcoded logo
            os.chdir('/usr/local/zope/greetingcardLogos/')
            c.drawInlineImage('upsideownlogo.jpg', 3.5*inch,
9.5*inch,width=1.71*inch, height=.72*inch)


     Hope this helps!

    -e-
