Hi Jeremias,

Yep, that's what I found before posting my question.
I've prepared FOP so TrimBox, BleedBox and MediaBox can all be set [1].
But the wiring into an extension hasn't been completed, yet.

Alright, so these methods can't be accessed through configuration etc. right now. I find

setBleedBox(box); ///Recommended by PDF/X
/
very interesting, because I thought it would be quite common to have a bleed area in professional layouts. /

I've attached a patch which comes from a working copy where I started an
implementation for bleed. Not sure if it already does anything useful,
but it could be a starting point. HTH
Thanks for the patch. So I guess I'll have to build FOP from source then ;-) FOP does not support customization (like User-Exits), does it? I am willing to test and code a little but modifying FOP core sources is out of scope of my current project.

Regards,

Max

Hi all,

what is the current status of xsl-fo concerning a Spread-based Layout (like InDesign uses)?

I need to change an existing layout to support blocks/graphics that bleed off the page. I know I could use a custom page size to add the extra area but the resulting PDF won't be correct in terms of Trim Box etc.

What would be the best way to implement such a feature? Add another extension?

Regards

Max
