Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Images in PDF appear too large


Hi,
Your examples use "px" (pixels) as the units for scaling, but px is not 
well defined in XSL-FO.  In XEP, the doc says it assumes 120 dpi for 
pixels, although the XSL-FO spec suggests 90 dpi.  I don't know what FOP 
assumes.

I would suggest you use a unit such as "in" or "mm" to specify the size. 
You should be able to just set contentwidth="0.25in", and the image will be 
output 0.25 in wide and scaled proportionally, with the viewport the same 
size.  That should work in both XEP and FOP.
