Bob Stayton writes in "Using the XSLT Sheets" that FOP can handle PDF as a vector format:
Table 16.6. FO processor supported graphics formats FO Processor Bitmap formats Vector formats FOP PNG JPEG SVG PDF
But I get the following error from FOP 0.20.5rc2
[ERROR] Error while creating area : No ImageReader for this type of image (file:/KM/usr/ziegler/LEDA/Tutorial/pdf/Pictures/ArrayOfChar.pdf)
My DocBook source is the following:
<mediaobject>
<imageobject role="html">
<imagedata align="center" format="PNG" fileref="Pictures/ArrayOfChar.png"/>
</imageobject>
<imageobject role="fo">
<imagedata align="center" format="PDF" fileref="Pictures/ArrayOfChar.pdf"/>
</imageobject>
</mediaobject>
Can someone please help me? I've already browsed through the mailinglist archive and the bug reports of FOP, but I haven't found anything.
I'm using java version "1.3.1", DocBook Stylesheets 1.60.1
Greetings, Joachim
