Your first code sample: > <fo:external-graphic src="organigramm"></fo:external-graphic> was quite obviously flawed. Your second attempt has a chance to work. At first, use a stand-alone XSLT processor like Xalan to generate the FO file. Inspect it to check whether the src attribute has the correct value. If not, fix your style sheet. If the value was correct, remember that the src attribute takes an URL, not a file name. The syntax of an URL is not quite the same as for a Windows file path, check the spec for details: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt FOP tries to get along with path names, but the code is not very intelligent. In order to ease the task, try <path>file:///E:/test/test/images/Projektstrukturplan.jpg</path> If this still fails, check whether the path is really correct. In the example above, the double "test" component is somewhat suspicious.
