Re: [docbook-apps] Re: [docbook] Keeping the size of a screenshot for XML->FO->PDF transformation

In fop 0.20.5, there is only one way that I 
have found to scale a graphic.  You need to set the width attribute in the 
imagedata to a number with unit, not percentage:  width="2in".

Yes, I have this problem too. 
  I also could not find a solution, but at least I could localize the 
  problem: 

While the best resolution 
  for screenshots in PDF files is between 96 and 150 dpi (as I saved them), FOP 
  invarily renders the pictures with 72dpi. This results in 1024x768 screenshots 
  having the totally unreasonable size of 36 by 27 cm (14 by 11 inches). 
  

You can do what you want in DocBook 
  attributes - this does not change. 

Anyone an idea?

            [docbook] Keeping the 
              size of a screenshot for XML->FO->PDF 
          transformation

        
          
          

            
            

Hello,

I tried to find an answer to the following problem on 
  mailing-list archives
and using google but with no success.

I have 
  several screenshots in PNG format. When I generate the PDF file
(using FOP) 
  the small screenshots appear a lot larger than the original
files. Not only 
  it takes too much space, but also the text is fuzzy.
I tried using the 
  different attributes for imagedata (width, depth,
contentdepth, 
  contentwidth ..) but the output is always the same.
I would like the 
  graphic to always be the same size as the original.
What should I 
  do?
