PDF newbie: image in PDF

Mar 7, 2012 1:04 AM

I am trying to learn the PDF language and make some PDF files from scratch. I have made some text files which work and now I want to insert some images, but I can't get it to work!

I have made a testfile consisting of just an image inserted as an XObject. The "image" is just a tiny gray 4x4 square. The file opens in Acrobat Reader without any error messages, but without the image.

I am posting the PDF content below. Can somebody see whats wrong?

Any help much appreciated...

...thanks in advance!!
