Well, I don't really know what to do about these. The problem might be
that fop is resizing the images when printing the pdf, so I'll have a
look at this and see if I can figure out what is going wrong. If anyone
else can see the problem, tell me!

I'll take a look at this.

I'm fairly certain that it should be possible to insert a "page" before
that. I tried it before and it didn't work, but it _should_ be possible.

How many of these are there? Do you want to fix it quickly?

Again, if there aren't too many, it would probably be reasonable to fix
these and upload new translations. I don't thing it's from the pdf
conversion.
