#1 fo:external-graphic cannot be .gif on win2003

[Anonymous]

I use nfop in a webapplication on a windows server 2003
machine. If I try to include a external-graphic into the
pdf, in this case a .gif, an invalid pdf-file will be
generated.

acrobat error:
"There was an error processing a page. There was a
problem reading this document (109)."
(ctrl-click[OK])
"Object label badly formatted."

However on my development machine (windows xp)
everything works fine when I include .gif graphics.

My sollution has been to convert the .gifs to .jpgs
