Hi Nate,

It's strange.

I need an image that cause the problem and the XEP configuration file
(xep.xml).

Is there any warnings/errors in the log?

Best regards,

> The XSL:FO that places these graphics:

>     <fo:block keep-with-previous.within-column="always"
> space-before="8pt" span="none">
>       <fo:external-graphic src="{$imageLocation}" width="{$imageWidth}" />
>     </fo:block>
