Hi Eric What FOP version are you currently working with?
If you're using current FOP Trunk, you may need to put JAI Image I/O Tools [1] into your classpath to have a TIFF codec. More on the new image support will appear shortly on [2] (which I forgot to update after changing). However, the "Image not available" should have been preceeded by another error message if the TIFF codec is missing. Are you sure there are no other error messages?

That's because you didn't specify the size of the image viewport (width/height or inline-progression-dimension/block-progression-dimension). Just specifying content-width/content-height like this will render the image at its intrinsic size, i.e. too big. Just try adding width="100%" which limits the image's size to the available width and the image will automatically be scaled down. > > Thanks for any help, > Eric Jeremias Maerki --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
