Yes. The single PDF page is generated fine - the image displays etc - but
regen+flatten loses the image unfortunately. The image is base-64 (See http://ase-64.ora-code.com) encoded
in the dataset and is bound to an image field in the document using
LiveCycle Designer. I'm trying to use iText to perform the concatenation
of a series of generated pages but it looks like the images get lost
during the flatten process somehow.
