 "Mom now treats all pdf images identically to floats, which is to

However, if you want text to stop at the place the pdf image is
inserted in the source file, leaving a hole at the bottom of the
page, then FLOAT FORCE is the way to go.

I'm not seeing the warning at my end.  Which version of mom are you
using?

  pdfmom -dVERSION=1 foo

will tell you.  (Foo can be anything; pdfmom just needs a name of
some sort or it will hang.)  The current version is 2.4-4_e.

If you are up-to-date, could you send a file (and its associated
images) exhibiting the warning?  I dealt with it in version 2.2, or
so I thought.
