I'm mystified as to why 0.94 has no problem with external-graphic (and in my case SVGs) and using SVGS as background and the trunk does.
You must of misunderstood me, the FO file is down to 20megs, the PDF with all SVGs, linking, and such is around 70megs. There are 500+ full page SVGS and 15000+ links (mainly in indexes). It is a 1400+ page parts manual. It is quite impressive when done, if I might say so myself. We run the entire process on a 12gig Ram 64bit Windows XP machine. Eric, you are exactly right in that I'm also seeing a blank space where external-graphic should be placing and SVG. I'll see if I can find the log, or if there isn't one at the moment, then have it created. Thanks for your insight and relating your experience with this issue.

When I get time I need to take another look at getting external-graphic to work. If you're having the same problem I was having, everything prints fine except the external-graphic space is blank, and if you can see the Java Console it will show logs of file not found. 20 megs sounds ridiculously large for a PDF file. If you're embedding images, the problem is no doubt the inclusion of ridiculously large image files. The largest reports I've generated so far are around 44kb for a 1 page report and an 84kb 7 page report which includes this svg image 3 times per page.. At that ratio a 20 meg file should be over 1600 pages.. -----Original Message----- From: Mario Madunic [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 9:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Problems with SVG display as background to region-body (FOP-Trunk) Eric, I'm using external-graphic for all non-background images to keep the file size down. I have the FO file down to around 20 megs from whopping 250 megs. I also remove all the <xsl:comments /> I place in the output, this saves another 20 megs. They are used to inform me where the various attributes and their values are coming from for style debugging. I'll try and place them inline and see what happens. If you don't mind can you post one of your SVGs? Just want to see the root element (don't need the content itself) and any DTD/XSD declarations. I want to compare what you have and see how mine are different, if there any differences.

Everything I tried basically worked with 0.94 but once I'm using the Trunk, no SVG appears in the output as a background or even as an external-graphic. Note this happens with all the SVGS. Below is the SVG partsTable_4ColBG.svg.
