What error message you have received?

If you have to include drive letter into URL, you usually need to use more 
slashes to separate it from the protocol, e.g.

file:///n:/test.png

What error does Apache FOP report in its command line output?
Something about the file not being found?

Have you verified that the formatting objects XML file includes the image 
element? Search for the file path string (test.png) in the FO XML file?

When I process FO to generate PDF (I also use Apache FOP), the image paths in 
my FO XML are typically relative paths like "media/test.png".
I also configured my build system to place copies of all the images in a 
corresponding "media" directory in the same location as the FO file.

So my files look like this:

build-directory
 |_ my-fo-file.fo
 |_ media
 |_ test.png

Good luck!

Peter

[docbook-apps] Including local Image in pdf output

[Nothen, Christian]

Hello everyone,

im using Oxygen to generate an .xsd documentation and to customize it, I 
generate it in docbook format and then transform it to pdf.
To customize my documentation I added some text to the docbook footer (which is 
working!) and I also tried to add an image there, but this is not working yet.
My custom footer text is in the center and the image should be on the left, but 
just not showing whatever I tried until now.
For simplicity I created and 40x40 red image, which is located at my local path 
N:\test.png and I tried to Include it with the following code.
(Just to be clear, the image I want to include is on my local machine, and not 
on some network resource)


   
 
   
 
   
 

This is not working yet..  maybe the select "'file:/N:/test.png'" is wrong (I 
tried many different formats here), so
any help on this Problem would be very much appreciated.


Some Version Infos:
Oxygen version: 19
Transformer: Saxon 6.5.5
FO-Processor: Apache FOP
Operating System: Windows 10


Best Regards
Christian
