PDF (WITH) dynamic images

["Connell, Robert (SAPOL)" <ro...@police.sa.gov.au>]

We are retrieving images that are stored on a (non-relational) legacy
database and which are returned to us as byte arrays. It has been possible
to successfully display these images with HTML but we have not been able to
output these byte arrays as images on a PDF document using FOP. We have
pretty much tried everything without success.

Has anyone been through the process of actually getting this working?

Thanks,

Robert

Getting the images from DB should work with the DatabaseReader (or in 
the same way as you did it for HTML).
Using the images with FOP is not that easy as relative paths don't work:

You have to absolutize them.
