i can make a minimal example(<100kb), so you can look into it when you have time. there are still problems with clipping in mkiv, but my first try to create a breaking minimal failed. so far db problems and clipping in mkiv are the only issues left (rest looks pretty good!). ok , plus your tex code (offlist)

-- luigi it's new . it's powerful . it's luatex . http://www.luatex.org

thanks luigi. no way to test it elsewhere :)

first of all: *thanks to luigi* for testing and for using the 'right' binary versions (which was the key) :) now the news: - pdftex 1.40.7 works fine with my test file. the only thing is, that it complains about the wrong pdf version of the included db file. .. pdfTeX warning: pdftex (file ./lib/test-db.pdf): PDF inclusion: found PDF version <1.6>, but at most version <1.5> allowed - luatex 0.25.3 doesn't break, but includes always the first image in the database. if i remember it right this was a filter problem. - pdftex 1.50alpha and luatex trunk (17.05.2008) fail with the described error the latest official released versions of luatex and pdftex generate a working pdf. both developement versions fail. i guess there is a bug in the pdf inclusion routines, as this is all that is done in my test file. if someone can tell me how i can pass the pdfminorversion as runtime parameter, i can create a database in pdf1.4 and test it again with a more 'compatible' pdf version. anyhow, i quit for today... best wishes, peter

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!

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?

Use \convertargument\{\to\ascii and \ascii.

thank you wolfgang! will try that :)
