Regions and external-graphic
Hi,
Sorry if this has been covered b4. I have tried to find an answer!
I am using cocoon 2.x and can serialize pdfs without any trouble. However I
would like to add an image to the side of main body and so far I have not
been able to do this without getting pdf errors (on the output not cocoon).
I am defining a region using <fo:region-start /> in my
<fo:simple-page-master> I am then adding the following to my
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="basicPSM">
<!-- side image -->
<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-start">
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic
src="http://xxx.yyy.com/resources/print_side_bar.jpg"/>
</fo:block>
</fo:static-content>
This does not work but if I put the same block into my body region it comes
out fine???
Any ideas would be appreciated.
PS I have just joined the list ans started using fop its cool!
Regards
Tim Cavanagh

This is a VFAQ. The keep-with-* and keep-together properties
work only on table rows. basically, put the blocks which
should be kept together in a blind table for this purpose.
The archive has a lot of examples and details, search it.

Kieron,
The viewer I am using is ADOBE Acrobat V5.05 and the error is "the file is
damaged and could not be repaired" and sometimes I get an unknown operator
being returned. I know the graphic is being parsed into the pdf because the
file size of the output goes up. Basically it seems that the parser is
screwing up the encoding but it is fine if it is in the xsl-region-body.
Many thanks for your help

same page if they are in the same region... I cant seem to get them to keep
together at all!!! Maybe that is another post?

Do you mean when viewing the pdf document the viewer reports an error.
What is the error message (or is it the helpful - there was an
error...).

Does text work in the static region.
If you put text before and after the image does it work.

Could be just some sort of pdf markup error, ending text when text was
not started or something like that.
