Humm, it's odd. We just launched the deployment script, as usual. I'll double check. Thanks for your reply. Philippe.

No. --> *Ancient* versions of FOP had problems with image URIs which were not absolute. That's why in *ancient* versions of XXE, there was a workaround (in the process command used to convert DocBook to PDF) for this FOP bug. In recent versions of FOP, the bug is fixed and we have removed the workaround from the process command: In XXE v7.3, but also in XXE v6.3, there is NO workaround to absolutize the URIs of image resources: --- <command name="docb.toPS"> <process> ... <copyDocument to="__doc.xml"> ... <resources include="image" match="(?:.+/)?(.+)\.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|mml|svg|svgz%1)" copyTo="resources" referenceAs="resources/$1.$2" /> --- That's the only problem I recall related to FOP and absolute URIs. --> If you have customized the process command used to convert DocBook to PDF and/or customized the DocBook XSL stylesheets and/or use an old version of the FOP add-on (currently we use Apache FOP 2.1; see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/addons_doc.html#fop1_foprocessor), please do not hesitate to send me (mailto:huss...@xmlmind.com) your customizations.
