Re: Is there a property resolver in the FOP API?

[Daniel Norberg]

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for the advise, I didn't know about the intermediate format, 
I will definitely explore that possibility and see if that can solve my 
problem. Even though I could write my own utility methods for solving the task 
the best way to get correct answers is to use the same computations that FOP 
uses when it produces the PDF.

Hi Daniel,

No such function exists. Take a look at the intermediate format: Apache(tm) 
FOP: Intermediate 
Format<https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/trunk/intermediate.html>

What you can do is generate the IF XML from the XSL-FO and then you will be 
able to see the dimensions of everything within the pages. You can then use 
that information to either alter the original XSL-FO or amend the IF XML before 
final rendering.

I hope that helps

Subject: Is there a property resolver in the FOP API?

Hi,

I am developing support for transformation of FO to PDF with FOP using Java.

I wonder if there is an API method that I can call that resolves a property? 
Here is one example:


   Lorem ipsum


I want to call a method that can resolve the font-size on the  in 
pt, for instance with a similar code to this:

float fontSize = FOP.getDimensionValue(element, "font-size");

Is there such a method available in FOP that I can use, or do I have to write 
my own code to resolve the value?

Re: Is there a property resolver in the FOP API?

[Thomas Sörensen]

I haven't head of a java object mapping library specific for xsl-fo. Aleksi 
created one for flex documents. You can find it under the package 
se.excosoft.flexdtd if you are interested.

Here is an example of how it is used:
final FlexDocument document = new FlexDocument(doc);
FlexBody body = document.getBody();
String fontFam = body.getFontFamily();

You would have to create a similar package and create appropriate mappings 
between java object and xsl-fo nodes.

In case you do decide to do that make sure to create a separate project outside 
of skribenta repo. Make the project independent from skribenta and use maven to 
handle dependencies and building.

You might be using the terms incorrectly. We use XML transformers to apply xslt 
stylesheets and transform XML into XSL-FO. Apache FOP then renders the XSL-FO 
into a PDF.  You wouldn't transform fo to a PDF.

Re: PDFSignature NullPointerException

[David Law via fop-users]

ok, it turned out to be a problem with our custom ResourceResolver...
...returning null in getOutputStream(...) wasn't a good idea. 😎

Hi there,

I'm trying to create a signed PDF with FOP v2.11 & JDK 17.

I am NOT using a Config file (i.e. fop.xconf).

Instead I'm supplying an instance of PDFSignParams.
-> FOP then internally creates an instance of PDFSignature.
-> I've checked the PDFSignature instance is able to read the Keystore 
& sign content.


When creating the PDF from the FO, a *NullPointerException* is raised.
The only Method invoked on PDFSignature is add(final PDFPage page).

The message is:
Cannot invoke "java.io.OutputStream.write(byte[], int, int)" because 
"this.out" is null


(I did something similar for encryption with an instance of 
PDFEncryptionParams. That worked fine)


Before I take time to create a detailed example,
I thought I'd ask if anyone has had the same problem.

The generatePDFfromFO Method looks like this:

private static byte[] generatePDFfromFO(final byte[] bytesFO, final 
TransformerFactory factory) throws Exception {


    final     var foUserAgent   = FOP_FACTORY.newFOUserAgent();
    ;             foUserAgent.setProducer("ap FOP");
    ;             foUserAgent.setCreationDate(new Date());
    ;             foUserAgent.setTargetResolution(300 /* dpi */);

    final     var foSignParms   = new 
PDFSignParams("path/fopTest.pkcs12", null, null, null, "fopTest");


    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    final     var foRendOpt     = (Map) 
foUserAgent.getRendererOptions();

    ;             foRendOpt.put("sign-params", foSignParms);

    final     var pdfBytesSizeGuess  = bytesFO.length / 2;
    final     var pdfBytesBaos       = new 
ByteArrayOutputStream(pdfBytesSizeGuess);


    try          (pdfBytesBaos)
    {
        final var fop                = 
foUserAgent.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, pdfBytesBaos);
        final var saxResult          = new 
SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());


        final var xmlSource          = getSource(bytesFO);

        final var transformer        = factory.newTransformer();
        ;         transformer.transform(xmlSource, saxResult); // -> 
*NullPointerException*

    }
    return        pdfBytesBaos.toByteArray();
}

Any ideas, anyone?

Re: Font names using multi-byte strings

Hi,

Would it make sense to use:

characters = name.substring((skipFirst ? 1 : 
0)).getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);


...which does not throw an UnsupportedEncodingException?

RE: Font names using multi-byte strings

[Joao Andre Goncalves]

I tried that earlier but while the PDF is valid, the font name would not match 
the original PDF. I did find the following on the ISO document:

c) Any character that is not a regular character shall be written using its 
2-digit hexadecimal code, preceded by the NUMBER SIGN only.

FOP probably has this restriction because we can't display a char with an index 
over 255 with just 2 digits. Still, the original PDF does have that field with 
chars over 255 so it has to be possible. I'll keep looking for an alternative.

Thanks

I'm not sure if we should be changing FOP until we determine how the original 
font was created. If we do change FOP, we could change the exception to a 
warning but I'm not sure what else could be impacted by this change.

RE: Font names using multi-byte strings

restriction and the only thing I found was the following:

https://api.itextpdf.com/iText5/java/5.5.11/index.html?com/itextpdf/text/pdf/PdfName.html#:~:text=Class%20PdfName&text=PdfName%20is%20an%20object%20that,(page%2056-58)

When I went into the Manual mentioned I did not manage to find a reason for the 
restriction. I also tried to create a font with the same font name as the one 
in your PDF but FontForge had a similar restriction to FOP (ASCII characters 
only and not the escaped characters).

I'm not sure if we should be changing FOP until we determine how the original 
font was created. If we do change FOP, we could change the exception to a 
warning but I'm not sure what else could be impacted by this change.


Thanks

We have a PDF that lists its fonts using Japanese characters (in this 
case, it’s MS Gothic and MS PGothic, where “Gothic” actually is in 
Japanese characters).


When trying to import that image using fo:external-graphic 
(fop-pdf-images.jar), we get an exception with the message “Only 8-bit 
characters allowed by this implementation”.


In reviewing FOP code, org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFName.toHex() throws this 
exception if the character id is > 256.


Does this mean FOP cannot handle cases where the names of PDF records 
are not in simple ascii range?

RE: Empty table cell fails PDF/UA-1 validation in FOP 2.11 (passes on FOP 2.10)

[Juhani Laiho]

This was probably a testing error on my part.

I apparently had keep-empty-tags="false" in the xconf accessibility element 
when testing FOP 2.11 but not when testing FOP 2.10. Once I removed 
keep-empty-tags="false" from the FOP 2.11 xconf file, the FOP 2.11 PDF was a 
valid PDF/UA-1 as well according to both veraPDF and PAC.

RE: Does FopFactoryBuilder really have a setURIResolver method?

[Mark Gibson]

The setURIResolver in the comments seems to suggest it's talking about an XML 
Transform related class, URIResolver, that would be used in the XSL Transform 
stage.
The constructor argument is a ResourceResolver, and seems to be more FOP 
related, so used after the initial XSL transformation.

Either way, I also can't find setURIResolver as an actual method.

Subject: Does FopFactoryBuilder really have a setURIResolver method?

[EXTERNAL]

I'm wondering if FopFactoryBuilder is missing a setURIResolver() method.
The javadoc for FopFactoryBuilder shows an example of making a 
FopFactoryBuilder like so:

FopFactoryBuilder fopFactoryBuilder = new FopFactoryBuilder()
  
.setURIResolver()  <-HERE
  .setPageHeight()
  .setPageWidth()
  
.setStrictUserConfigValidation()
... etc ...
 FopFactory fopFactory = fopFactoryBuilder.build();



I am interested in using custom URI resolvers and haven't found the 
.setURIResolved method() on FopFactoryBuilder. Instead, I've been setting it in 
the FopFactoryBuilder's contructor, like:
new FopFactoryBuilder(new File(".").toURI(), resourceResolver)

But I'm wondering if I'm missing something. It would be nice to use the 
.setURIResolver() if it does exist.

Thanks,
-John

Hi,

When you set force-page-count="end-on-even" the last page will never be odd and 
that's why the page master "last_odd" is never selected. What you are looking 
for is page-position="last-1" but unfortunately FOP doesn't support that

Hi FOP users,

I am having trouble with the page-master layouts used for a page 
sequence.


The page sequence uses force-page-count="end-on-even". This appears to 
work as expected, no matter the content, the sequence always ends on 
an even page, creating a blank if necessary.


My trouble is with the last odd page when is preceding a forced 
end-on-even page. I want for that preceding last odd page to use a 
different footer layout.


I have created simple-page-masters for even , odd , blank, and last 
odd pages.


I have created the page-sequence-master to use 
repeatable-page-master-alternatives > 
conditional-page-master-reference as follows


blank-or-not-blank="blank"/>
blank-or-not-blank="not-blank" page-position="last" odd-or-even="odd"/>
blank-or-not-blank="not-blank" odd-or-even="even"/>



No matter the order of the above conditional-page-master-reference 
elements, the last_odd never gets selected.


I have verified this by generating  “intermediate-format”  output and 
see the if:page page-master-name="blank" correctly used for the last 
page in sequence but the preceding odd page is using if:page 
page-master-name="odd".

Am I misunderstanding  how force-page-count="end-on-even" works?  Or 
do I have my conditional-page-master-ref criteria wrong or ordered 
incorrectly?  Any help/ideas would be much appreciated.

Well the bug is in Apache FOP (or maybe in Saxon?) Here is a reproducible test 
procedure:

I use the FOP binary package from 
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?filename=/xmlgraphics/fop/binaries/fop-2.10-bin.tar.gz&action=download
 and the current Saxon 12.5 HE.

Create PDF with Saxon:
  $ export

Re: Namespaces are dropped in XMP stream. XML invalid

[David Law]

Jörn,

its a while ago, in the dim and distant past, but...
...at a customer site, we had some Namespace issues with FOP.
Somewhere, we'd parsed some XML without Namespace awareness.

Something like:

|DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()||.setNamespaceAware(true);|

Maybe the products you're using have different defaults for this setting?

T'was just a thought.
Sorry, I can't be more specific than that.

All the best,
Dave

RE: Namespaces are dropped in XMP stream. XML invalid

[Jörn Willhöft]

Hi Joao,
 
thank you for taking the time to look into that issue. Meanwhile, I set up a 
test case with plain Apache FOP and could not reproduce the issue either.
 
It still happens with the same static input via the Apache Camel FOP component 
though. In both scenarios it's FOP 2.10 and the Camel component is actually 
just a thin wrapper. So I am currently trying to set up a better test case and 
analysis on the Camel side.
 
Just for the records, I see that I quoted the wrong FO which added the XMP to a 
page (there is a test case for that already in FOP). Instead, the XMP should be 
added to the document. Since FOP FOP merges some metadata into this stream 
there is a potential for error, but my tests showed that plain FOP works as it 
should. So this is the one I am using:
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
font-family="Arial">







http://www.abc.de/abc/";
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";>

http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/extension/";
xmlns:pdfaProperty="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/property#";
xmlns:pdfaSchema="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/schema#"; rdf:about="">






split












SLIDE 1



 
I'll report back after I eliminated all potential stupid mistakes on my side. 
It could also be a different XML stack or the different JVM in the Camel 
environment? I'll try to find out...
 

Cheers

RE: Namespaces are dropped in XMP stream. XML invalid

Dear list members,

I need to create PDF/A-3B compliant documents with special references to an 
embedded document (ZUGFeRD compliant invoices). Currently, this fails in 
VeraPDF with some very vague and rather misleading validation errors:
* "Specification: ISO 19005-3:2012, Clause: 6.6.2.1, Test number: 5
All metadata streams present in the PDF shall conform to the XMP Specification. 
The XMP package must be encoded as UTF-8"
* "Specification: ISO 19005-3:2012, Clause: 6.6.4, Test number: 1
The PDF/A version and conformance level of a file shall be specified using the 
PDF/A Identification extension schema"
* "Specification: ISO 19005-3:2012, Clause: 6.6.2.1, Test number: 4
All metadata streams present in the PDF shall conform to the XMP Specification. 
All content of all XMP packets shall be well-formed, as defined by Extensible 
Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (Third Edition), 2.1, and the RDF/XML Syntax 
Specification (Revised)"

I finally tracked this down to FOP, which dropped some necessary namespaces in 
the created XMP stream. This can be reproduced with the corresponding example 
from the FOP homepage (https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.10/metadata.html). 
E.g. here is the fo:



  

  



  http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; 
xmlns:abc="http://www.abc.de/abc/";>



http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/extension/";

 xmlns:pdfaSchema="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/schema#";

 
xmlns:pdfaProperty="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/property#";>

  



  



  



  split



  



  



  



  



  


And this is returned when I run pdfinfo -meta example.pdf:

  http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";>
 http://www.abc.de/abc/"; abc:def="val" rdf:about=""/>

As you can see, the two namespaces 
xmlns:pdfaSchema="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/schema#";   and 
xmlns:pdfaProperty="http://www.aiim.org/pdfa/ns/property#";
are dropped from the metadata, while the prefixes are still used. Thus, the XML 
is invalid and so is the PDF/A.
This is pretty unfortunate, as I don't have any workaround for this. I am using 
Apache FOP 2.10 in the context of Apache Camel 4.8.1. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Re: Fwd: How to use fop with Java 21

[Andreas Reichel]

Good Morning Rolf,

please double check your dependencies: I think it's FOP instead of FOP-
CORE.
For me, the following dependencies work with Java21 and I get nice PDFs
out:

// PDF Output
implementation ('org.apache.xmlgraphics:fop:+') {
exclude group: 'xalan', module: 'xalan'
}
implementation ('org.apache.xmlgraphics:batik-codec:+') {
exclude group: 'xalan', module: 'xalan'
}

Viel Glueck!

Hello, in the attached .fo, in the last rows there are blocks with the 
attribute keep-with-next="always".
This forces a set of rows to form a single block and I think that's the reason 
the second page ends prematurely and the remaining rows are moved to another 
page.

FOP users,

I am having difficultly understanding the page breaking occurring in the 
attached PDFs and how to improve.   The goal is to eliminate / reduce the 
amount of whitespace created by the irregular/odd page break. The table can 
have varying number of rows. When number of rows fits in two or less pages, 
there is no issue. When greater, the irregular/odd page breaking occurs.

I have tried using fo extensions widow-content-limit and orphan-content-limit 
with varying values, each without improvement.
I have tried using (keep-with-next, k-w-n.within-column, k-w-n.within-page) = 
"always" on the rows with bolded text which produces different page breaking 
but also causes the table rows to extend into the page footer area (region 
After) and not create the additional pages.
If I remove the last two rows in the table, the table breaks nicely.
The length of the text in the either cell doesn't seem to impact the irregular 
page breaking.

FOP2.9.pdf is the result from using the Oxygen built-in XSL-FO  FO PDF 
transformation scenario.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

System details:
Windows 11
Oxygen 26
JRE 17.0.8+7 (From Oxygen installed jre)
Apache FOP 2.9  (From Oxygen installed fop)

I have gotten similar results using FOP1.1, also from Oxygen but using an ANT 
transformation scenario that uses a java task that points to Apache FOP 1.1 jar.
Thanks in advance,

Darryl

Re: Fop multiple thread generate performance

Hi,

apart from the FopFactory which Simon mentioned,
I believe you can also do the same for TransformerFactory.

Also, you could consider caching the Stylesheet Templates.
They are Threadsafe & can be used by multiple Threads concurrently.

I'm a bit rusty, but below is some pseudo-code to illustrate some of that.

All the best,

Hi,

just a short question whether this is simply not support or whether I make some 
mistakes:

Are variable OpenType fonts using variable axes (like weight, width or
slant) supported by FOP 2.9? Specifically, I want to use the NotoSans font 
family, and at least at Google's own site (fonts.google.com), the latest 
versions seem to be only available as variable fonts and not as separate files 
for the various weights.

to have "Before: next page title      Page 2 of 3" where "next page 
title" changes per page. I understand that the page number and last 
page numbers are special tags that get populated at render time. Is it 
possible to modify the footer content per page with a single page 
sequence, or do I need to create a page sequence for each unique footer?


If I need a page sequence for each, how do I get the last page number 
of the last sequence so that I can still populate "Page 2 of 3"?


Thank you,
Jon

Re: Increase logging level with fop?

[Luca Bellonda]

If you are using the binary distribution, inside the "fop" script used to
launch it there is the possibility to change the log level, see in the
comments of the script.

Best regards.

Re: Publishing area tree XML fails

[Luca Bellonda]

Speaking broadly, if a expert feature is not enforced, it should not be
available, but this is only my opinion.
Do you need to update a lot of code? Maybe the usual way of JVM property
and/or environment variable may be enough.

Hi,

 

We could print a warning message, rather than change the cmd line?

I'm using FOP 2.4 on ubuntu. I create an area tree XML file on the
command line with this:

fop -s topic.fo -at area_tree.xml

This works fine. I plan to make some changes and read it in, then
publish to PDF.

I am trying to read it in and I don't know what to expect, or how to
publish out to PDF. The docs do not go into this, that I can find. I get
failure when I run the command below intended to produce a PDF called
aaa.pdf:

RE: Embed different TTF font styles

[Simon Steiner]

Hi,

The error you see means some bold text with no font-family is using base14 
font, so you should apply a font-family to the fo:root to catch those, then 
configure fonts for those.

In fo:

Re: Embed different TTF font styles

[Alexander Adam]

Hello Simon,

Thank you for your fast response.
I forgot to mention that also embedding directly via

>  embed-url="config/xml_stylesheets/Resources/foo/Helvetica-Bold.ttf”>
>   
> 

Doesn’t work and has the same effect.
Or am I missing an important attribute here or so?

Is it expected or known that styles like bold and italic doesn’t work with the 
directory tag?

Setting the font itself works, right? Otherwise the error message wouldn’t be 
there, is that correct?

Hi,

What about setting the font-family on the fo:root if your using pdfa.
I would use define explicit fonts in fop.xconf rather than using directory 
scanning.

Hi All,

If you haven't yet heard, we are migrating the XMLGraphics project's issue 
tracking from Jira to GitHub.

For the purpose of performing the migration from Jira to GitHub Issues, I would 
like to have your GitHub User Identifier if you have previously interacted with

commenting on a Jira Issue, adding an attachment to a Jira Issue, etc.

Your Identifier will be used to add you as an assignee or refer to you via a 
mention in GitHub issues that are created from the migration process.

Please send your Identifier in response to this email at your earliest 
convenience. For your reference, my GitHub User Identifier is skynavga. If you 
don't have a GitHub Identifier, then you can create a GitHub account to create 
one. Or, if you don't wish to create a GitHub account, you can let me know that 
as well, in which case the migration process will not link migrated issues to 
you.

Also, if you wish to avoid responding publicly, please send your response 
directly to me at mailto:gad...@apache.org>>.

Kind regards,
Glenn

Hi,

Thank you for the quick answer.
Unfortunately I did try a while ago that attribute and I did retry after your

I have also tried several others TTF but ended up with the exact same result.

Hi,

I did request the creation of a Jira account following your reply.
As soon as my account is granted I will open a bug to track this problem.

Hi,

Thank you for the quick answer.
Unfortunately I did try a while ago that attribute and I did retry after your 
answer but still the same. (result below with position-by-char).
I have also tried several others TTF but ended up with the exact same result.

Hi,

I am producing an AFP file with Apache FOP 2.8 and java 17.
In my fo.xconf file am using a custom font with the TTF format and I have using 
also a xsl file. (you can find them below)

Altough then file renders properly when viewed with a tool like "Papyrus AFP 
viewer",

I have noticed that the content has issues when analyzed using AFPexplorer.

In the example below you see that the words are not generated words by words

Re: Image not included in pdf

[Anil Pinto]

I will play around with the temp folder configuration for Tomcat and see if that impacts the cache behavior I'm seeing. I can live with turning off the cache as Simon pointed out, for now, but would like to find out more about the true cause of this behavior I will post any relevant success I find in this matter. Thank you for the pointers Luca and Simon Get Outlook for Android

Re: Image not included in pdf

[Luca Bellonda]

Maybe it is a permission problem or the default tmp folder for this kind of
applications is not configured (enviroment variables TMP or TEMP) or the
start batch points to the wrong location. You can use some utility to check
the information (for example Sysinternals). If you are able to understand
the cause maybe you can update the Tomcat start script.

Hello Simon,

So, adding that code statement resolved that error message and the image now 
shows. 

Can you think of anything that's changed lately that needed this specific step 
to be performed (outside the IDE env coz it works without this line there)?

Windows 11, Java 19, Tomcat 10.0.16, FOP 2.8 is the stack

Appreciate your prompt response with a solution!

No there's plenty of space and the strange part is if I run a similar setup 
through my IntelliJ IDE and SmartTomcat plugin it doesn't complain. I wish 
there was some more information reported in a trace. 

 

The only difference I could see is that the SmartTomcat folder is under the 
Windows 11  Users folder. The regular Tomcat setup is in a normal folder under 
the C drive.

Hi all,

 

TL;DR: The 'Build FOP' instructions page is incomplete - is it worth
reporting a JIRA? How do I get a JIRA account?

 

I'm just starting with FOP and followed the build instructions at:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.8/compiling.html

 

The ant build failed due to a missing maven dependency which isn't mentioned
on the page. Is that worth a JIRA ticket to get that fixed? I've done a
search of JIRA and don't see an existing ticket. I've checked out the docs
and I would need to apply for a JIRA account (which I will need later
anyway) - how do I apply?

 

Thanks,

Dave

Hi

I’ve been testing with FOP 2.7 and 2.8, trying to inject a PDF containing an 
image in to the rendered PDF, using fo:external-graphic

The pdf image has a gradient fill component.

When scaling the fo:external-graphic using width=”x%”, the gradient fill is not 
displayed properly.

I’ve created https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-3108 with all the 
details, including a very small reproduction.

I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong, but please feel free to disabuse me of 
that notion.  All help and suggestions welcomed.

Even nested WITHs (although the heavy lifting is done by JSQLParser,
where I am only a strong contributor for).

A good test for the Highlighter is this one, Pygments gets it totally
wrong:
SELECT Overlaps( overlaps ) AS overlaps
FROM overlaps.overlaps overlaps
WHERE overlaps = 'overlaps'
AND (CURRENT_TIME, INTERVAL '1' HOUR) OVERLAPS (CURRENT_TIME, INTERVAL -'1' 
HOUR)

, ,  
2) inside the XSL I call a xhtml2fo.xsl like this:




   


("description" is my equivalent of your "text" node).

Attention: when you want to deploy xhtml2fo.xsl inside your JAR, you
will need to hand over an URL resolver to FOP:
// Setup XSLT
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
//factory.setURIResolver(
//new URIResolver() {
//@Override
//public Source resolve(String href, String base) throws 
TransformerException {
//return new 
StreamSource(ETLBox.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(href));
//}
//});

I have the xhtml2fo.xsl, maybe it will help you.

Re: Code block syntax highlighting

[Andreas Reichel]

Klaus and Team,

thank you for your feedback.
I have actually figured out something working nicely:

1) based on Pygments
2) use the XSLFO Pygments formatter (can be installed from PIP, the
code is fairly simple and straight forward)
3) from your XML document containing the Code Block:
 a) iterate through all code blocks
        b) call Pygments with the XSLFO Formatter and format the block
into a temporary XML file (your FO styled codeblock)
        c) when this succeeded, add to the Code Block node a childnode
with the absolute path to this temporary XML file
4) amend your XSL file and for each code-block use the XSL:COPY-OF
directive to insert the FO formatted content of the temporary XML file
into the final PDF directly. (Apply a XSL:CHOOSE, when child exists
then XSL:COPY-OF otherwise XSL:VALUE.)
5) clean up all the temporary files from step 3)

Caveats: 
a) you need to call Python Pygmentize from Java using
ProcessBuilder/Process (and react to failures)
b) Pygments understanding of the code is limited and the highlighting
can be questionable especially for SQL. However, I will use my own SQL
Formatter to properly format complex SQL in FO

Cheers!

Greetings and compliments of the day.

We use FOP successfully to generate nice PDF files for our technical 
documentation.
Although there is one more requirement: printing formatted code blocks 
with syntax highlighting (e. g. SQL or Java code snippets). What would 
be the best way to achieve that?


I have tried to convert the SQL/Java code to SVG via Pygments and to 
insert it as EXTERNAL_GRAPHICS. This works in general, but I cant 
control the sizing. Each EXTERNAL_GRAPHICS will have a different size of 
characters based on the size of the graphics.


Does anyone know a better way or has done something similar already? I 
would appreciate any idea or hint.

Thank you in advance and best regards

Andreas



Hi Andreas,

I haven't had such a problem yet, so I don't know tools that perform the 
actual syntax highlighting. But what I do not understand is why you are 
using SVG and external graphics. FO is capable of doing preformatted 
text and also of colorizing text. So no need to go that path. Since you 
using scripts anyway (as far as I understand), it shouldn't be too 
complicated to generated XML fragments to be inserted into you document.


Regards,

Klaus

Re: PDF-Images - When scaling embedded PDFs with links, the link position is not moved/scaled in relation to image scaling.

it certainly looks very suspicious.

Could it be that some Margins, Borders or Padding are muddying the waters?

Maybe its worth trying...

RE: Is Apache FOP vulnerable to CVE-2022-34169?

Subject: Is Apache FOP vulnerable to CVE-2022-34169?

Hi all,

I've the following issue:
I am using the Apache FOP library to generate a PDF file in my software.
As far as I understand, the current version of Apache FOP library depends on 
Xalan 2.7.2 for the handling of XSLT files, which is vulnerable to 
CVE-2022-34169.
A cutout from the dependency graph is attached to the end of the mail.

Now my question:
In my software, the XSLT file is loaded from disk, and hence, can be 
manipulated by an user(or an attacker).
If I use Apache FOP, and the XSLT file can theoretically be edited by a user, 
am I vulnerable to CVE-2022-34169?
I would think yes, right?

Are there any plans on an update of Apache FOP, which is not vulnerable to 
CVE-2022-34169? As far as i understand the Apache Xalan Java project is dormant 
and in the process of being retired. No future releases of Apache Xalan Java to 
address this issue are expected.

RE: Setting renderer merge-fonts from code

[Mark Gibson]

I’ll answer my own question 😊

userAgent.getRendererOptions().put( 
PDFRendererOption.MERGE_FONTS.getName(), true );

Feels a bit odd because you’re not telling it which renderer, but works for our 
flow.  Had tried just PDFRendererOption.MERGE_FONTS previously, but simple 
string name is needed.

Hi.

I’m sure I’m missing something simple, but I’m looking to set the “merge-fonts” 
configuration via code on the FOUserAgent.  And I’m failing.

I’ve found how to read it, but there’s no setters:

PDFRendererConfig rcfg = 
(PDFRendererConfig)userAgent.getRendererConfig( "application/pdf", new 
PDFRendererConfig.PDFRendererConfigParser() );
PDFRendererOptionsConfig rocfg = rcfg.getConfigOptions();
rocfg.getMergeFontsEnabled();

Does anyone know the magic?

Thanks

RE: Fop fails to resolve embedded fonts after update from 2.6 to 2.7

[Beat Hörmann]

I had the same problem when changing to fop 2.7. The problem is that the 
font-manager doesn't honor the custom resource resolver passed to the 
fop builder anymore. I described a workaround in


https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2861?attachmentSortBy=dateTime

Basically with 2.7 you need to extra pass your resource solver to the 
font-manager.

Re: Corrupt font display on iOS when using PDF-Images with merge-fonts=true

[Luca Bellonda]

Hello, to validate the hypothesis you could modify by hand the PDF by
changing the name of the fonts in the tags /FontName and /BaseFont to a
pattern used for embedded subset like A+xx (the value of xx is not
important) without adding nor removing any byte from the PDF. If this
solves the issue maybe a patch to font name generation is needed for
embedded subsets.

Best regards.

Hi Luca

 

We have no control over the source PDF being embedded.  They are often (but not 
always) exported as PDF from Excel.  And done by our clients, not us.

 

Do we have any other options?  Either via fixups to FOP or bug notifications to 
iOS browsers (I’m gonna guess chromium).

 

Thanks

[EXTERNAL] 

 

Hello the PDF is visible on Linux viewers and browsers, but the fonts are 
embedded as subset in both the source PDFs and as fully embedded in the final 
PDF with the fonts merged.

The name of the font in the source pdf for example is BCDEEE+Calibri-Bold, 
compatible with embedded subsets (6 chars and a plus sign).

The name of the font in the merged file is Calibri-Bold, which should identify 
it as fully embedded.

I guess the wrong viewer is not able to deal with the character decoding, 
thinking to use a fully embedded font.

Please, try generating the source PDFs embedding the whole fonts and not a 
subset.
