FOP with IKVM: No Images

Question

I've successfully compiled and used FOP 1.0 with IKVM 0.44.5 in .NET, however I can't get it to show any images in the resulting PDF.

When I run FOP via ikvm in the command-line, I get a java.io.EOFException. When I transform the same file using java, the Images shows up perfectly.

Has anyone gotten images to work using FOP+IKVM? Any help or pointers to a solution would be highly appreciated!

Answer 1

I don't know much about FOP, but a simple example with images works:

C:\j\fop-1.0>set JAVACMD=\ikvm-0.44.0.5\bin\ikvm.exe
C:\j\fop-1.0>fop -fo examples\fo\basic\images.fo -pdf images.pdf

This results in an images.pdf that looks good.

If you have a repro scenario for this, feel free to mail it to me ([email protected]) and I'll have a look.

Update: Thanks for the .png that caused the problem. I reproduced the problem with 0.44, but in the current development version it works correctly. The most recent development snapshot is available at http://weblog.ikvm.net/
