Hi,
so there we go... I guess since this is only on the FO 2.0 wish list
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-xslfo20-req-20080326/#bleeds) this would
be an extension for now?
Would you advise to take your pdf-image extension as a starting point?
Regards,
Max

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.
[1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=618626&view=rev
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.
So the lack of support didn't cause enough of an itch to anyone to
implement it. I hope you're going to itch enough because I currently don't.

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.
FOP provides lots of extension points. And since you have the source,
in some cases you can subclass certain classes if you must. But that
might not help you here. Better for the project would be to do it right
and integrate the functionality into FOP. This could be a great
opportunity to contribute something back to the project. That's how FOP
got where it is: People scratched their itches. Of course, you can also
just wait until someone thinks this is fun to implement. It's how Open
Source works.
Remember: You're not alone if you implement this. We're going to help
you with hints and pointers as much as we can. Just keep us in the loop
to avoid late surprises.
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?
