Description

From a private mail:

Today, I found an extremely useful tip for how to get the images/graphics "right" both in HTML and PDF. As you know and write in the FAQ, there is a challenge with scaling the images, especially when using APT.
I think it would be useful for others, if you could publish this tip on the site for the plugin.

What I did was this:

I made a copy of the original fo-styles.xslt, names it pdf-config.xml in my src/site/resources.
Then I replaced the following section:

<xsl:attribute-set name="figure.graphics">
    <xsl:attribute name="width">auto</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="height">auto</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="content-width">auto</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="content-height">auto</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

with this:

<xsl:attribute-set name="figure.graphics">
    <xsl:attribute name="content-width">scale-down-to-fit</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="content-height">scale-down-to-fit</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="width">100%</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="height">100%</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

And VOILA, the scaling was perfect!

This specific example is not given in the plugin usage page, and there is little documentation on what attribute sets are used by the PDF plugin. Can you please take a second look at this ticket, and either make this the default behavior in the PDF plugin, or update the documentation?

I changed the default behavior in doxia-module-fo, see r1304214. The documentation is complete IMO as it links to the original configuration file where all the available parameters are listed.

For SVG graphics exported from Google Docs, scale-to-fit seems to work better than scale-down-to-fit. Otherwise the image can end up being really tiny.
