The file compiles and just has a grey empty box saying "name: unknownpicture". If I replace xmap1.pdf with a JPG named xmap1.jpg and don't change the document otherwise, my document compiles just fine. The problem is I need high quality files, not a blurry JPG. --Joel On Sunday, August 18, 2024 at 09:14:37 AM MDT, Mikael Sundqvist wrote: Hi, From the meeting: What happens if you do \externalfigure   [unknownpicture]   [compact=] ?

This error isn't occurring for every PDF, some of them are rendering with no such error. I tried different export settings in LibreOffice Draw, but that seemed to have no impact. Some files render in ConTeXt and some throw this error.

What is happening?

If I add [compact=] it seems to be rendering the PDF. What does [compact=] do?
