Hi, In XSL-FO, in default context, height specifies the block-progression-dimension
reading the XSL-FO spec (see §7.15.3 at [1]): b-p-d expressed in % "is calculated with respect to the corresponding dimension of the closest area ancestor that was generated by a block-level formatting object", here the outer fo:block and: "If that dimension is not specified explicitly (i.e., it depends on content's block-progression-dimension), the value is interpreted as "auto".", witch is the case here. So, the fo-block b-p-d depends on its content. IOW: you have no contraints vertically, so if your image is heigher than available body content-height, FOP try to render it on next page. You should set an absolute height (not relative) to your fo:external-graphic.
