Hi, Just to add to Peter's notes, the file path for Windows users is slightly different and should be: <fo:external-graphic src="file:/<INSERT FILE PATH>"/>
e.g. <fo:external-graphic src="file:/c:/tmp/pdf-image/overlay.pdf"/> rather than for Unix users: <fo:external-graphic src="file:///tmp/pdf-image/overlay.pdf"/> Just in case that causes any confusion.
