I need to put horizontal lines on my PDF so the user can write more stuff on
the printout.
I tried using a background image. It looked good but doubled the size of my
PDF. Seemed like fop was generating multiple copies of image. Our users
have low-end computers and printers and a 30 page document is taking 30
minutes to print. I think this may also be a W95 :( sysconfig issues, but
that's not an area I'm knowledgable in.
I removed the image and tried drawing horizontal lines in the region-before.
This worked, but the lines show through blocks in the body, even if I set
the background-color of the block in the body.
has anyone overcome this problem?
Have you tried fo:leader?
Here's a FAQ about leaders:
http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html#leader-expansion
I found examples like the following in the examples/ directory:
<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule"
rule-thickness="1.0pt"
leader-length="6cm"
space-before.optimum="12pt"
space-after.optimum="12pt"
start-indent="1.5cm"
end-indent="2cm"
background-color="blue"
color="#000000"/>
fop-0.20.5/examples/fo/basic/leader.fo
Hope this helps!
