Error: pdfetex (file ./rimg0016.jpg): reading JPEG image failed

Seems there are only a few error possibilities in some function read_jpg_info(). Could you put the image online for checking?

Certainly: http://www.panix.com/~derwisch/elmar/finger.jpg I have sidestepped the problem by converting the images with help of ImageMagick.

gives no problems here, e. g. in plain pdfetex 1.11b this works without any warning or error: \pdfximage{finger.jpg} \setbox0=\hbox{\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage} \showthe\wd0 \showthe\ht0 \showthe\dp0 \box0 \bye gives 1284.8pt/963.6pt/0.0pt And it looked like your error came right out of pdfetex. This Exif-JPEG format is _tolerated_ by pdf(e)tex since 1.10a, and no change in the code since then. Do you happen to use an older pdfetex version? But why is Hans' texexec giving problems?

...which has most likely removed the Exif header. Regards, Hartmut
