FO-RTF conversion with latest fop build and stxx
Hi! I manage to download and build latest fop. After that i create RTF from fo file from command line. That was all very good and i was very happy :-) Because i use fop inside stxx and struts i tried to integrate latest fop into struts and generate rtf and i failed :-( Does anyone use stxx and fop together? I can describe what i do in code and put parts od code... Tnx, Stanislav - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FO-RTF conversion with latest fop build and stxx
If you tell us what exactly the problems are I'm more than glad to help. There's no reason that FOP shouldn't work with struts. I don't know stxx, but if that piece is properly designed, FOP should be easily integrated. You need to make sure you've got all the necessary dependencies in your classpath: - avalon-framework.jar - batik.jar (maybe RTF works without it, but I haven't checked) - commons-io.jar - commons-logging.jar Have a look at the embedding examples in the examples/embedding directory. That should help you go, as long as the documentation is not updated on our website to reflect the changes on FOP's API. Good luck and just keep asking! :-) On 11.08.2005 09:31:19 Stanislav wrote: Hi! I manage to download and build latest fop. After that i create RTF from fo file from command line.

Inline figure
Hello! Is there a way to define vertical align for a inline figure in FOP? As I checked from the compliance page, all the Area Alignment Properties seem to be partially or not at all supported. As you probably all know, by default fo:external-graphic aligns as follows (sorry the terrible ascii demonstration, hope you get the picture ;) --- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam pulvinar. | | Nunc neque. Donec tortor metus, mollis id, |__| interdum eu, scelerisque nec, orci. Cras dolor nibh, facilisis. --- And i would like to have those inline figure more like: --- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam | | pulvinar. |__| Nunc neque.

I've just looked up this message.

Re: FO-RTF conversion with latest fop build and stxx
Stanislav, in ASF BugZilla (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35939) you'll find a backwards compatible Driver.java class for the trunk code. That should (theoretically) allow you to replace the 0.20.5 fop.jar with the trunk fop.jar without changes to the calling application. That may help you to put the new code into the stxx environment without having to modify it.

Re: FO-RTF conversion with latest fop build and stxx
Stanislav, true but easily fixed - define a RENDER_RTF constant at the top of the file and add the appropriate case to the switch statement in setRenderer() case RENDER_RTF: _fop = new Fop(Fop.RENDER_RTF); break; Of course you still have to tell your application to use the new RENDER_RTF constant when invoking the Driver.

Re: FO to RTF with Revision 231325
Ok, I only looked at it through OpenOffice 1.1.4 where it looks more or less ok. Word indeed has a problem with it. If you set the page-width and page-height to absolute values, the whole thing gets better. Still, I just realized that the region-before content is not being rendered in the page header as it should be. I will have to see why that is so. But besides that, the userdoc.fo file from your jtiger.org site doesn't look ultimatively bad once the page size is fixed.

Re: fo:page-number-citation fault
The fix involved deferring space adjustment until after the actual page number is known. You wont get line breaks adjusted this way. Your only option seems to be two stage processing, which may alos allow you to get rid of duplicated page numbers. Note that for proper space adjustment you'll probably have to include a space between the leader and the page number citation. I tried to change FOP as you advised. But i've not the faintest idea of the FOP source. So it is really important for me to get this fo:page-number-citation thing to work. I would even pay for it, if someone is able to code FOP. By the way, multiple equal pagenumbers make sense for my requirements. Regards Frank - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Keeping fo:block with the page's end
Hi there! Your suggestions all work great for e.g. AntennaHouse. But FOP does not do the job.

Re: fo:page-number-citation fault
Frank Lorenz wrote: I tried to change FOP as you advised. Uh? I'm confused. Two stage processing works roughly as follows: 1. Generate the FO as before. Instead of rendering PDF, create the XML area tree (the -at option) 2. Use XSLT to extract the real page numbers from the XML. This is the tricky part, you might have to change the FO to include marker content (not to be confused with FO markers) in order to identify the areas whose page numbers you need as well as the page numbers itself. 3. Generate the FO again, but replace the page number citations with the real page numbers you got from step 2. Render to PDF or whatever. 4. Have a look on the result and check whether the additional line breaks in step 3 (compared to step 1) might cause oscillation effects. Adding a FO providing buffer space might be a good idea. 5.
