hi,
when i try to include an image from one of my databases i get the following error messages:
mkii:
!pdfTeX error: pdftex.exe (file ./lib/test-db.pdf): xpdf: reading PDF image failed (0) ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
i dunno; if there's indeed a file in ./lib/test-db.pdf then it's an xpdf problem so maybe you need to preflight the file and see what's wrong with it
mkiv:
!luaTeX error: xpdf: reading PDF image failed ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!
i looked into the mkiv sources, but didn't succeed. the lua part (db only) is clear to me, but i couldn't find the point in tex, where \externalfigure is mapped to this somehow. either i have missed something or there is some code missing. mh, probably the first one :)
regards, peter
ps: any news about the \string{\{} problem in mkiv?
this is : \string { -> letter { \{ -> depends on definition but probably no bgroup } -> egroup so whatever happens, you'll probably end up with closing a group which in turn will result in an error someplace Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
