Hi there, i wrote a servlet that supports pdf streaming to a browser (works fine) and printing (server side) using the awtrenderer. Problem here is, on one printer it looks just fine while on the other one some parts are cut off... Well it looks like that its not the font metric problem. One of the two printers (HP V40) makes a bigger left margin than a Samsung laserprinter, while they are using the 100% same source. Is this a printer driver problem? Is there an explanation / workaround ??? Hope someone can help me out... Thanks in advance Normen Ruhrus
(Much of this message mirrors the previous answer I gave, however there is a bit more information below.)
In our testing at my company, we've found that the version of Java being used may affect the output. In particular, there was a bug in pre-1.4.x Sun java that had FontMetrics issues. IBM 1.30 java appears to be unaffected by this bug. As a result, we've indicated to our clients that our FOP implementation requires Sun Java 1.4.1+ or IBM Java 1.30+.
If you're having problems, see if you can install one of these JAVA upgrades (you shouldn't need to change the server to default to this new version to test. Just open a new terminal window, and set $JAVA_HOME to that new version of JAVA), and then do more testing. If you find it works, that may be the culprit. However, you'll want to test any other applications currently running on your server to make certain nothing "breaks" with the updated JRE before you implement the change.
HTH!
