No Images on the iPad with the PDF "Head First - HTML with CSS and XHTML"

Well, so far downloading the eBooks and reading them on the iPad works perfectly. I've tried both ePub (iBooks) and PDFs (GoodReader) and it works well.

The only exception to this is the eBook "Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML". While I can read it perfectly on the Adobe Reader on my PC it won't display any pictures in the reader(s) on the iPad.

I tried
- Good Reader
- iBooks
- PDF Reader
- Documents to Go

Always the same problem. Same goes for downloading it multiple times from different computers. As I said, all the other 11 eBooks from O'Reilly I bought work well - just not that one.

Anybody got an idea for a solution?

One thing I havent tried yet is converting the PDF via calibre (for example) to an ePub eBook. I suppose by doing that I will lose the TOC which will make working with the eBook much harder.

I am having the same problem -- I cannot see the images either on my iPad with that book.

Just letting you know that it's not just you, in case you were worried. :)

And I'm adding myself to this thread so that I'll get a notification if/when there is a fix.

Thanks for reporting this. We're working on a fix and will release a new version once we figure it out. The problem is related to transparency errors in the PDF, which can be tricky to troubleshoot and fix.

I believe this problem is fixed with the latest release. Please log into your account at oreilly.com and download the new PDF available on the Electronic Media page. Let me know if it works for you.

Tid, I am having the same problem as above.

What did you change in the PDF file to stop the "transparency" problem or the disappearing images problem if they are not the same.

Thanks
