I am trying to produce a pdf document which contains a jpeg image that has been generated using svg with base64 data. The approach does work, however the final pdf document is huge! An essentially empty document with a single 40Kb jpeg image produces a 1Mb pdf document. Is this behaviour normal?
This is the only time I'm using svg. My xsl-fo does'nt include any svg text.
Below is an extract of my fop. Am I doing something wrong?
<fo:instream-foreign-object content-type="content-type:image/jpeg">
<svg:svg height="176mm" width="277mm">
<svg:image width="277mm" height="176mm" x="0" y="0" xlink:href="" /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAoHBwgHBgoICAgLCgoL . . . ." />
</svg:svg>
</fo:instream-foreign-object>
This project involved accessing image data which is only available from the session. I tried writing a servlet, but was unable to see the correct session from within the servlet.
Can anyone help me? I'd hate to abandon fop and produce nasty html reports after getting this far!
