Hello all, I just ran into rather strange problems during FO processing, causing the exception shown below. My research (web searching, FAQ & mail archive etc.) turned up blank.

Exceptions occur, finally resulting in a null image. PDF is generated, can be viewed, but one image is missing. There's just empty space of correct dimensions in the document. Circumstances: Both images are fetched from a web server. Both are available by URL in a browser and both can be opened by an image editor program, meaning the files themselves seem to be ok. Loading the images from remote by a small java awt test application (using ImageIO) works fine. Both images were created by conversion to png (ImageMagick), one using a wmf as source the other having an emf as source. Both images share the same filename but are from different paths/URLs. Java 1.6.0_06 fop.jar: Implementation-Version: 0.94 (OxygenXML 9.0.0 eclipse plugin) fop.jar: Implementation-Version: 0.20.4 works just fine (XMLmind FO converter 3.1 without VM)) What happened? Any ideas? Upon request I'll gladly provide both images, the minimal fo source, and the pdf result. Best regards and thanks in advance, Michael Glass -- Psssst!
