Dockbook -> PDF how to size images

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all

I know that this is the wrong list, but maybe anybody has more knowledge.

Trying to generate the pdf the images look horrible size (like Figure
50k FT Architecure).

I'm using following code:
<figure
  id="50k FT Architecture">
  <title>50k FT Architecture</title>
  <mediaobject>
    <imageobject>
      <imagedata
        fileref="images/50k-ft-architecture.png" />
    </imageobject>
  </mediaobject>
</figure>

Thanks
Felix

Hi Stefan

Late thanks for workaround. I just can believe that this is the online
solution ... It's really odd and I expected a better solution from
dockbook. Maybe I can find something at the Apache FOP pages.

Late thanks and regards
Felix

I made the same experience with the Studio documentation. In the end I
used the 'scale' attribute, but its value must be set individually for
each image by trial and error. The good thing is that the scale
attribute is only used for PDF output, in HTML the image still has its
original size. Here is an example:

  <mediaobject>
    <imageobject>
      <imagedata scale="75" fileref="images/fromX500toLDAP.png"></imagedata>
    </imageobject>
  </mediaobject>

HTH,
Stefan
