images from openoffice files doesn't display in PDF output

[Jan Zelenka <Ja...@profinit.cz>]

Hello,

I use openoffice plugin (0.8-dev) to generate HTML and PDF output from
openoffice sxw files. When sxw file contains images these are correctly
displayed in HTML but not in PDF.
It's not caused by unsupported image format or problem with picture size or
adjusting high/width ratio.
I think it's caused by some image location problem (for html output images
are saved into openOfficeEmbeddedImage\zip-swxfilename.sxw\file-Pictures\
subdirectory)

Have anybody encountered (and solved :)) this problem?

thanks, Jan

Sorry for the delay in the response. I've encountered the problem  
myself. I haven't taken a look at why, but I suspect you're correct  
that the image location hasn't been established when the image is  
requested by FOP. It's also possible that the template which converts  
the OOo file to PDF doesn't accommodate for images (I seriously doubt  
this is the case). I think the document you want is the  
document2fo.xsl template.

I'm working on something else right now, so I can't take a look. But  
others on the list might have an answer.
