Success! :-)

At first, I thought it didn't work. FOP complained:

[INFO] [1]
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

I suppose my PNG file is too big (380,6 kb). On the other hand, when I use
the EPS (9,9MB), the PDF is rendered correctly!


Now I have a little strange problem: I can see the frontpage in KDE's
preview, I can see it with GV (ghostview), but I can't see it with Xpdf or
Gpdf, Kpdf. What can cause this?



Best regards
