[reportlab-users] Image sizes

[Yan Seiner]

Oh I understand...

I'm trying to figure out where the disconnect is...  Something between 
mediawiki and the final pdf resets some images to a fixed size - but not 
others, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it.

I think it's mwlib that's the issue...

I was hoping that someone on this list has some experience with 
generating pdfs from mediawiki.
