******************************************************* Clearly this is because it is not handling the background-image very well. In out case, we are using user-input to run the report, so we can't restrict against this form of useless HTML. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Run a PDF report, giving it HTML shown in the DETAILS above, and BIRT will fail to create the PDF, instead throwing the exception above.
I can not reproduce this issue with latest 3.7.2 release build. Please try the latest release.
