on the reference page of the document, you should find a small,
otherwise empty frame named TableFootnote (spacing and capitalization
is critical). If it does not exist, create one using the frame'
drawing tool.
You can adjust the height or width of this frame, use it to hold an
image

Are you opening the file that the cross-ref point to while you're
generating the PDF? If not, try opening it.

That is a very big if. A full partner participant-stakeholder, or more likely
the department manager? It is more likely that the software developers,
business analysts, and the project manager are collaborating to get a decent
set of requirements down. At that stage, TWs have no place, whether
