[reportlab-users] pb with images

[Jerome Alet]

Hi there,

while doing some work with my PDFMap utility,
I've noticed that when viewing the document with Acrobat
Reader 7.0 (Linux), I've got the message "Wrong operand type."
when I visualize the file in the case I represent some objects
with images.

NB : despite the presence of the error message dialog box, the 
document displays correctly on screen. The same document displays
without any error or warning in xpdf 3.01-3 (Debian)
Also I believe (not really sure) that the same document displayed OK 
without any warning in acroread 5.0 

If I linearize the code using the pycanvas framework included
in ReportLab, I've got a 54 Mb python program (>41000 lines long)
which in fact does (for each image) :

--- CUT ---

c.restoreState()
--- CUT ---        

The RL version I'm using is 1.20 from Debian.

Any idea what could be wrong ?

I can make the linearized program and the images available if needed.

thanks in advance for any help

bye
