Actually I think the problem lies with Acrobat Reader and the coordinate system involved. If I just move the rendered area to a "more reasonable" part of the coordinate system (eg 271410,-4180575 to 1410,-0575, just dropping the leading 10's of thousands) the strokes magically appear. I would guess that the stroking code is somehow limited to a fairly small display area (just guessing something in the -32k->+32K range).
ah - thanks, you are right. I upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7 and it worked as well, like in the MacOSX PDF Viewer. If it is a problem for older Acrobat viewers I can shift the coordinate system. It is all db-driven anyway, so I can just transform the data.
The white halo appears to be a white stroke on the text.
hm - yes. I use a use-element of the original text element, place it behind the original object and a white stroke to achieve that halo. Do you have a better idea on how to achieve that that is also compatible with the PDF generated by Batik/FOP?
I hope that helps even if it really isn't what you want to hear. ;)
no, it helps a lot. I know a lot more now and can adopt my code to generate Acrobat conform output.
Thanks a lot, Andreas
