You're probably a victim of the 72dpi bitmap scaling. Since you have the image as an RFC2397 URL you had to use Batik to load the image as FOP doesn't support that URL scheme.
One thing you could do is find a Java implementation of RFC2397 which plugs into Java's own URL handler mechanism. A quick Google search didn't show any, though. Batik implements RFC2397 in a non-standard way but maybe you could write a wrapper around it to still provide a normal Java URL handler as described here: http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/protocolhandlers/ Sascha Schmidt posted something like this last year. I haven't looked at it, though: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgId=1892793 This way you could use an fo:external-graphic instead of an SVG wrapper which should solve your problem with PDF size. Hope that helps. On 11.02.2005 05:55:52 Burlock, Craig (SAPOL) wrote: > I am trying to produce a pdf document which contains a jpeg image that has > been generated using svg with base64 data.
