Of course, it is a bug, though I really don't see how the format attribute could influence the process of converting images. In principle, the ``image converter'' ignores the format attribute and only uses the file extension (.pdf, .tif, .tiff) of the URL which is the value of the fileref attribute. We'll investigate this problem and fix it in next release (this month). Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. --- PS: Converting PDF files requires declaring an image toolkit plug-in leveraging Ghostscript. Converting TIFF files requires installing the Jimi image toolkit plug-in or running XXE on a Mac (where Java has built-in support for the TIFF format).
