Hi, thanks for your help Bob! At first, we first tried to run a transformation with fop 1.0. This didn´t work, so we used fop1.1rc1.
fop1.1.rc1 is still a release candidate, but it works just fine for our transformation. Each element / style is at its place and our PDFs finally show the right border of our buttons. We really don´t what it was, but it looks like the FOP of our Oxygen version (13) couldn´t handle our style. If anyone has the same problem: You can download the latest FOP version on apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/xmlgraphics/fop Thanks for your help!

It works for HTML and Oxygen XML Editor. I did some testing and found that the problem seems to be the FOP that ships with Oxygen 14. Here is what I did. I copied your customization and configured an Oxygen 14 transformation to apply the customized stylesheet *and* run the built-in FOP processor. For the Transformation Output tab, I said to Prompt for filename so I could keep track of the output. That PDF file duplicated the result you were seeing with the missing right border. Then I changed the transformation to just produce the FO output. When I examined the FO output file, it looked ok. When I subsequently processed that saved FO file with the FOP 1.0 I had installed separately on my system, the output showed the right border. Then I changed the Oxygen configuration using Options > Preferences > XML > XSLT-FO-XQuery > FO Processors. Under Apache FOP, I selected "Use other Apache FOP", and browsed to the fop.bat file that I had installed separately on my system. I saved that configuration, and when I ran the transformation, the output showed the right border. So I concluded that the version of FOP 1.0 that ships with Oxygen 14 seems to be the source of this problem. Oddly, I compared the fop.jar in Oxygen 14 to the fop.jar in my installation, and they are identical. So I cannot explain why this happens. But if you download FOP 1.0, install it, and point Oxygen 14 to use it, then you should get the right border. And let Oxygen Support know about this (you can forward this information if you like).

It works for HTML and Oxygen XML Editor. Hi, we tried to come up with a solution, but it didn´t work. After all, we considered that it would be best to reset the entire schema and stylesheet back to "factory settings". Starting from scratch seemed to be a good idea to find the error (we created a backup). All that remained was Oxygens supplied version of Docbook 5.0. We added our button style to the styelsheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xml:lang="de" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; xmlns:d = "http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; xmlns:exsl="http://exslt.org/common"; exclude-result-prefixes="d" version="1.0"> <xsl:import href="docbook.xsl"/> <xsl:template match="d:button"> <fo:inline background-color="#D3D3D3" border-style="solid" border-width="thin" > <xsl:apply-templates/> </fo:inline> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> as well as a matching counterpart to the schema docbookxi.rng. Everything else remained the same. However, the borders were still missing when transforming to PDF After all, the bottom line is that: - Except of the border, our custom style is working just fine. There is a link between stylesheet and schema - Its not Adobe Reader (Zoom etc.) - Its not our stylesheet or schema So what´s the problem? - Is it possible that Oxygen and its FO processor cannot handle our custom style? I know you told me that it´s propably not Saxxon, but is possible? - How did you (@Simon) manage to successfully transform our style to PDF? - Is is possible that Oxygen supplied an old or at least buggy version of DocBook 5.0? - How is it possible that our styles works if we use fo:block instead? We have several "boxes" in our manuals and their all rendered correctly. Thanks for your help.

Saxon is probably the most conformant and well tested processor. regards -- Dave Pawson XSLT XSL-FO FAQ. http://www.dpawson.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] ======================================================= Disclaimer The information contained in this e - mail and any attachments ( together the "message") is intended for the addressee only and may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
