FW: PDF generation error

[Leo <le...@tstt.net.tt>]

Hi folks

I am getting the following error when I try to generate a pdf file with a
png image. (Comment out reference to image and pdf is generated fine).
e.g of image reference
  <figure src="images/png/DSystem.png" id="HLD" alt="DSystem"></figure>

Error:
org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: No meaningful layout in block after
many attempts.  Infinite loop is assumed.  Processing halted.

I saw the post below and tried what was suggested both omiting the 
width/height or giving in cm.  This did not work.

Help. I need to generate the pdf files with images.

Regards
Leo

This means something didn't fit the page, apparently the image. I'm
not sure about the exact reason, try to omit the width and rely on
auto-scaling, or give both width and height, preferably in cm rather
than pixels (PDF is not a bitmap format).

The above is one possibility. In another, I have a picture that display 
on one page (inbetween a lot of other content), but on another page it 
is giving the error mentioned above (with very little other content on 
the page). This latter problem seems to occur only if a picture goes 
over the bottom of the first page. At least I have not seen any other 
correlating
factor thus far.

Sorry Johan. That was my carelessness. Fixed now.

Triathlon Northern Gauteng's URL should be www.in-corp.com/tng, not the 
current tgn (could have been my mistake)

The most likely reason is that the image is still too large
with explicit width and height. Try to reduce the image
resolution (use fewer pixels), or check the available space in
the PDF rendered without the image and use this information.
For PDF, you should never supply heigth/width in pixels to the
figure element.
