Hello,

I'm trying to create PDF from my Docbook output via the corresponding stylesheets but FOP cannot find the image. I read Bobs description and I believe the path of the image is correctly setup.

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ModularDoc.html#XIncludeGraphics

The generated FO source look like the following:

<fo:block id="d0e101"><fo:external-graphic src="" width="auto" height="auto" content-width="auto" content-height="auto"/></fo:block>

and files are in the following structure:

article.fo

/content/images/DojoFolder10.gif

I also tried:

article.fo

/images/DojoFolder10.gif

If I run the FOP transformation I receive:

[fop] Image not found. URI: content/images/DojoFolder10.gif. (See position 60:101)

Any advice would I'm doing wrong?

Although we switched to XEP a while back, I did start off using FOP. I can't remember exactly why my old FOP Makefiles did this, but it *looks* like they were trying hard to get working references to images. So what I used to do in my old Makefiles was to change to the directory containing my book.xml, and then run the xsltproc and fop from there. I also set img.src.path to `pwd`, which may have been overly paranoid...

If you can (given the other fun you seem to be having with FOP), I would recommend getting the free personal edition of XEP and see how that works. We felt that XEP was a much better processor than FOP, and it was worth our while spending the relatively small amount getting the non-free version.
