I did a short patch which allows to Add Images from embeded Data Url's to a 
PDF. example <img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAA..." alt="nothing">

Please apply this for the next Release, if it's compliant. I Did not found 
UnitTests. Please give me an advice where they are, so I will add a Test.

Best Regard's and thank you for the amazing product.

"""
Flying-Saucer supports the data: protocol natively. All you have to do is 
register a protocol handler:

-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=org.xhtmlrenderer.protocols

No need for servlets whatsoverver.

Sorry, I know this is over a year old, but it is the closest thing I could 
find. Stevenro... I have tried setting that java system variable, even checked 
by system properties and it is there correctly: eg: java.protocol.handler.pkgs 
= org.xhtmlrenderer.protocols

What am I missing?

Thanks for the patch. It seems to work well. Please merge this into the 
official release.

In the meantime, one can make use of the patch even without updating Flying 
Saucer by making a subclass of ITextUserAgent in application code.
