    I don't know if it is related to this temporary workaround or not, but when generating AT format, XEP creates a directory (to store image files) with a name that is not correctly formed: If there is a dot in the file name, then only the part of the name that is before the dot is used.

    Examples:
    AT file name | directory name
    -----------------------------
    foo.xep | foo_files
    foo.bar.xep | foo_files

    I think you should trim from the last dot in a name, not the first, or even not trim at all: "foo.bar.xep_files".

    I wonder why this directory is created at all: As the FO file already contains a valid URL for the images, why not use it in the AT file as well? There would be a constraint that a relative URL for the FO file must work for the AT file.

    Cheers,
    Benoit

    Benoit,

    > I have the following error message when converting XEP's area tree
    format
    to PDF:
    >
    > error: Pdflib internal error. Broken xref. Please report to
    manufacturer!.
    >
    > The resulting PDF is seen as damaged by Acrobat reader and cannot be
    read.
    > If I convert straight from FO to PDF, no error is reported and the PDF
    looks good.

    We have found the reason for the problem, and will release a patch soon.
    The problem is likely to happen to all files with images. As a temporary
    workaround, please use the following call to build area trees:

    java -cp ... -D... -DOUTPUT_PRODUCER=com.renderx.xep.gen.backends.H4XML
    \
        com.renderx.xep.Driver [fo file]

    Best regards,
