JPG 300dpi / background
Hello,
I want to have an image in a background of a document and can write a block of
text above. I use "background-image" in the "fo:region-body" definition.
The problem is that fop can't show correctly a jpg 300dpi: it is write too big
(size x 300/72). The solution is tu use a jpg 72dpi but the impression is very
bad.

Interesting idea, although I'd check whether changing the
resolution is a possibility first.

Hehe, not possible for background graphics. Bitmap background
images are always rendered at 72dpi, no way to change this.

Sorry, that's for SVG... Besides this, the page contains very valuable info
regarding this sort of problem.

1/72th of an inch is the standard point size in PDF.
I find it curious though... Have you tried setting the content-height and
content-width for the inserted graphic explicitly? I remember having the
same problem; I managed to solve it by experimenting with these attributes
on the <fo:external-graphic ...>, so be sure to try this.
The documentation on the website, however, (
http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#resolution ) recommends you scale
the graphic beforehand. ( Try scaling it to 72/300 of its original size and
then insert it as a 300dpi jpg... if it is then inserted with (size x
300/72), it will be rendered in its original size.
Hope this helps.
