Has anyone had any luck using the graphic callouts when generating a PDF? I only get blank spaces where the images are supposed to be. They show up in HTML, just not in PDF.
Thanks for any help you can offer. |

I used to have the same problem but I fixed it.
I'll have a look in the source again and answer tomorrow. RingerSan |

I get the callout graphics in HTML. I originally got the numbers, but I changed to graphics later.
Is that what you were asking? Thanks for looking. I appreciate any help you can offer. |

OK, I finally found out what I was missing. I was trying to process a file that did not have a callout subfolder in the file's folder.
In other words: be sure that the file you are working on in the repository folder has an "images\callouts\" subfolder in it, along with the callout images. If I recall correctly, eDE sets this automatically for you when you use the docbook_create article (or book) command. However, if you're an idiot like me and think you know it all, make sure when you create a folder yourself to place all the goodies inside it. |

There are two of us already (idiots). I did the same mistake and i needed 1 day to find your post. Thanks to your contribution, i'm no longer troubled by this issue. If you'll ever be visiting Slovenia, call me and i'll buy you a beer.

Hi samiam,
you wrote "... I originally got the numbers, but I changed to graphics later. ..." I'm also an "idiot" to docbook and especially to callouts and have the problem to switch from textual callouts to graphical callouts. Can you (or anybody else) tell me how and where to do this. Would be great! Greats from Germany. |

Sorry for the delay in response, Domo Sokrat. Can you describe the problem you're having?
What I've done to get graphics is to include the following line in my custom.xsl file (located in c:\docbook\stylesheet folder): <xsl:param name="callout.graphics">1</xsl:param> where "1" means that you want the graphics turned on. This line is also found in the e-novative.xsl file (same folder) but I placed it in the custom.xsl file because I'm trying to group all of my customizations together. I hope this helps. Again, sorry for the delay. |
