The subject is over a year old, but as far as I know there is still no release available with a solution for the Image inclusión in the automatic PDF-document generation.
Because I really needed a solution for this problem I created a quick-and-dirty solution for the short term. The problem with reading images from the site/resources/images directory is that iText isnt using the relative paths correctly (classpath problem), you can solve this by adding the path manually to Maven startup classpath (I said it was quick and dirty ) Look up the following lines in MVN.bat and add the directories manually to the classpath.. @REM Start MAVEN2 :runm2 %MAVEN_JAVA_EXE% %MAVEN_OPTS% -classpath ./src/site/resources;%CLASSWORLDS_JAR% "-Dclassworlds.conf=%M2_HOME%\bin\m2.conf" "-Dmaven.home=%M2_HOME%" org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher %MAVEN_CMD_LINE_ARGS% if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto error goto end All images will be added without a problem and site/book generation works as intended.
