[TYPO3-english] 4.2.12 text with image pdf issue was: Re: upgrade from 3.8.1 to 4.2.12 - experiences to share and some questions

[Simon Dawes]

Hi Eliott,

OK this is what I did as the second option and it works fine here
(http://www.offshoreconvention2010.com/index.php?id=200)

I suspect that it is something to do with your setup.

Have you checked your error logs?

Is the image actually being generated by imagemagick (it should be in 
typo3temp/pics/)?

Do other text w/image layouts work (using normal image types?)

Cheers Simon
