Dear FOPies,
We are generating PDF document with FOP and need to insert optical marks at the left side of every odd page. I plan to insert these marks with a FOP extension that shall create a BlockArea with several LineAreas. The LineArea contains ____ (underline characters) or is blank. How can build the BlockArea?
This is my (not working) extension method (area is also a block):
public int layout(Area area) throws FOPException {
BlockArea block = new BlockArea(
area.getFontState(),100,100,0,100,0,
Constants.AUTO,0,30);
LineArea line = block.createNextLineArea();
block.addChild(line);
TextState ts = new TextState();
line.addText("____".toCharArray(), 0, 50, getParent().getLinkSet(), ts);
area.addChild(block);
return Status.OK;
}
Could somebody give me a hint please?
In another thread I've read about a possibility to insert optical marks through post-processing the PDF (not PS). Does anybody know a free java tool for doing that?
Thanx,
Sascha
