Thank you. I followed your suggestion and now the transform works w/ no errors. But I couldn’t get svg to work, so I resorted to png.
Also, I don’t understand what “OpenTopic” is all about because it doesn’t exist in the path.

Hi Bill,
I guess you tried to configure custom images for your note elements. What is your configuration?

If you are using a custom plugin (like I do), whatever the location of the plugin, the images should be in:
com.your.pdfplugin\cfg\common\artwork

(If you are using a customization based on DITA OT org.dita.pdf2, then I think that the images should be located in:
C:\Program Files\Oxygen XML Editor 16.1\frameworks\dita\DITA-OT\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\Customization\common\artwork)

Then in my com.your.pdfplugin\cfg\common\vars\en.xml, I have the following:

<variable id="caution Note Image Path">Customization/OpenTopic/common/artwork/note_caution.svg</variable>

<variable id="danger Note Image Path">Customization/OpenTopic/common/artwork/note_danger.svg</variable>

<variable id="warning Note Image Path">Customization/OpenTopic/common/artwork/note_warning.svg</variable>

<variable id="important Note Image Path">Customization/OpenTopic/common/artwork/note_information.svg</variable>

Note that, it may sound stupid but this path does work, I tried a relative path or the absolute full path and it doesn't work.
I assumed the following: a path concatenation is built when the temp files are created and that why you end up with a path like:
C:/DocLibrary/MXEngineOperationServiceBook/temp/pdf/oxygen_dita_temp/Configuration/OpenTopic/cfg/common/artwork/warning.png
then when the PDF is created from it doesn't find the images because this path does not exist.

For example, if I set the following:

<variable id="caution Note Image Path">../artwork/note_caution.svg</variable>
(Note that my source files are in D:/SVN-Annette/IFU_MT/Sources/Projet_ong/trunk/ )
Then I got the error:
[java] EXCEPTION: Failed to create image file:/D:/SVN-Annette/IFU_MT/Sources/Projet_ong/trunk/temp/pdf/oxygen_dita_temp/../artwork/note_caution.svg of type null

But the temp files are expected to be created in:
D:\SVN-Annette\IFU_MT\Sources\Projet_ong\trunk\temp\pdf\oxygen_dita_temp\Customization\OpenTopic\common\artwork

So, I concluded that, even if the images are NOT in a path with "Customization/OpenTopic", I do need to indicate this kind of path in en.xml.

Now I hope my explanation will help you,

Regards,

Note that if you try SVG images, you may get the same error message if XEP cannot connect to internet to validate the SVG DTD :)

One thing you can do to try and diagnose is look at the FO or the error
message:

file:/C:/DocLibrary/MXEngineOperationServiceBook/temp/pdf/oxygen_dita_temp/C
onfiguration/OpenTopic/cfg/common/artwork/warning.png

Does that file exist? Should it be there? Should it be somewhere else?
All RenderX knows is that the DITA toolkit passed in this:

<fo:external-graphic src="
url('file:/C:/DocLibrary/MXEngineOperationServiceBook/temp/pdf/oxygen_dita_t
emp/Configuration/OpenTopic/cfg/common/artwork/warning.png ')"/>

So all RenderX can say is the such-and-such a file does not exist.

Thanks Kevin,
Then how do I get the note element symbol in the PDF output. Is RenderX
having trouble navigating to two different directories for images? I could
change the location of the note symbol folder (C:\Program
Files\oXygen\frameworks\dita\img) to my project images folder but I don't
know how to tell RenderX\Oxygen where they're at. Even note element symbols
in elements that are not a conref to a collection library are not being
found.

Exactly Bill.

There is no memory error or you would not get any PDF. With 384MB memory you
should be OK doing a book of 500+ pages.
The only error (which is not a fatal error) is that it cannot find the image
and that is why is says:

" ... of type null"

Null meaning it cannot determine the type of image because it cannot find it
or it is corrupt/garbage.

Be careful in your Java settings for memory also. You cannot set memory to
anything greater that 1280MB in Windows, Linux and a little higher in *nix
safely if you are on 32bit Java.
Only 64bit java will allow you to get beyond that barrier, that is a Java
contiguous memory limitation for all Java.

Thank you Hans. I appreciate the quick response to my inquiry.

I changed to setting from -Xmx1500m to -Xmx2048m and then transformed.
Transform resulted in the same error.
Tried -Xmx3048m and same results.
The error hasn't changed:

[echo] Maximum Java memory: -Xmx384m

In About:
JVM Memory Used: 84MB (3%) Total: 2709MB PermGen: 57MB/256MB

I am thinking that Kevin Brown's suggestion may be correct, that the images
aren't being be found for some reason.
The note element gets the images from this folder: C:\Program
Files\oXygen\frameworks\dita\img

Other images in the book are in a folder off of the project root, called
"images." And those come in just fine.
The collection library where the note elements are stored in the root.
The PDF generates but the note symbol is a red X.

Hi Bill,

You need to increase the Xmx JVM parameter which defines the amount of
memory your Java process can use.

See the following document for how to do just that:

Subject: [xep-support] Maximum Java memory

I am transforming using PDF - RenderX and get this error "Maximum Java
memory." The DITA topics are in a bookmap, which transforms just fine to Web
Help. I am using Oxygen 16.1. The error occurs when it starts converting
some PNG symbols in a note element, which are conrefed in different topics.

transform.fo2pdf.xep:
