user@forrest.apache.org forrest 0.7 image in PDF not displayed even with jai_codec.jar and jai_core.jar in ...\apache-forrest-0.7\lib\optional

[Paul . Divine]

Hi,

- As indicated in the folowing text coming from the given adress http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai,
- I put jai_codec.jar and jai_core.jar in the lib directory.
but the PNG image don't display in PDF.
- then from  http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/ , there is no more JimiProClasses.zip

What do I miss?

A second point, the PNG image printed with ie browser is OK, but from mozilla or firefox the back ground is black.

is there a known solution?

2.8. Images don't display in PDFs. How do I fix this?

Forrest uses Apache FOP for rendering PDFs. FOP cannot handle all image types natively, and requires third-party jars to be added. FOP natively handles BMP, GIF, JPG, TIFF and EPS (with a few limitations). FOP can also handle SVG (via Batik!and PNG (see below). For details, see FOP Graphics formats

To get PNGs working in PDFs with Jimi:
1.        Download Jimi from http://java.sun.com/products/jimi/
2.        Unpack the Jimi distribution and copy JimiProClasses.zip to $FORREST/lib/optional/jimi-1.0.jar.

Alternatively you can use JAI (Java Advanced Imaging API at http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai). For more info, see FOP Graphics Packages

Note
Due to Sun's licensing, we cannot redistribute Jimi or JAI with Forrest.

Thanks for response
I try also renamed  JimiProClasses.zip in jimi-1.0.jar and put it in
 
D:\DATA\apache\apache-forrest-0.7\lib\optional

The result is the same : no display

Hi,
With the explanation given in
http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#packages
I download JAI on a PC with windows XP.
Then I put jai_codec.jar and jai_core.jar in the lib directory.
 
D:\DATA\apache\apache-forrest-0.7\lib\optional\jai_codec.jar
D:\DATA\apache\apache-forrest-0.7\lib\optional\jai_core.jar

Then when I display the pdf file from the "samples"/usemap page
no image can be found in the PDF file.

Has somebody the same problem, and already found a solution.
