PDF woes

I'm using docbook as the source to generate my site and
most things seem
to work well. The biggest problem I'm having is with the
PDF output
missing images. Regardless of whether I use the Simplified
Docbook
plug-in or the docbook scripts directly, the following code
to place an
image in my doc:
    <figure id="fig_1">
      <title>Celtix Configuration
Hierarchy</title>

      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata
fileref="images/configuration.gif" />
        </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>
    </figure>

results in an empty table in the generated PDF. The HTML
looks great and
has the image in place.

Is there a work around for this? Am I using the wrong
mark-up?

Also when using docbook directly, code listings placed
inside a
<programlisting> element loose there spacing and all
run together in the
PDF. The HTML looks great though.
Is there a way to fix this?

Since you use *.gif this should not be the problem.

Where are your images located?
For the PDF to display them correctly place them in
  ...\documentation\resources\images

See http://i
ssues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-635

don't know.
using the sdocbook-plugin <programlisting> works for
me.

can you send the output of the HTML-markup for this tag?
if the spacing is still there,
you may try to format it in skinconf.xml/extra-css
by using
  white-space:pre
(see http://en.selfhtml.org/navigation/css.htm#ausrichtung)

Hope this helps
