Chris,
Hi Fred,
Thanks.
A PDF file is created, which is then sent to the printer (w/ proper
settings in the printer setup dialogue).
The scaling is in the PDF file itself -- or, at least, in the
PostScript I get by executing pdftops.
Does this mean you see the scaling in the PS and in the PDF or just the
PS? Feel free to send the PDF or the XSL-FO and I'll take a quick look.
The labels are created via a custom web application connected to a
database, which creates an XML file. I wrote the XSLT that transforms
the XML to XSL:FO, which is then sent to (what I hope is) a standard
fop transform call through org.apache.fop.apps.Driver, which sends the
PDF file to the user's browser.
I can certainly excerpt the relevant code if you wish ....
Glad to see that the flags and stringparam don't mean anything to you,
either. I was afraid I'd lost my ability to read (or grep, anyway)
TFM.
I think it is a docbook parameter. If you aren't using docbook then that
parameter won't help you.
Thanks again for your help.
Chris

Hi!
Hi,
I have a fop applications that prints labels on US letter paper; I need
to revise it for A4.
I can see you are generating PDF, but how is the output sent to the
Printer via Adobe Reader or -print output on FOP command line?
I can change the page-height and page-width in fo:simple-page-master --
but, when I look at the resulting PDF, it's been scaled by .9406 (to fit
US letter paper).
If printing via Adobe Reader you need to make sure all scaling options
are turned off and the printer is configured for A4 paper.
I've seen references to XSLT_FLAGS and --stringparam paper.type="A4",
but I don't see where to use such things in my Java code (which calls fop).
I'm not familar with that option. Are you using docbook?
And it seems that this would be a FAQ, but I've been unable to find it.
I'm using fop 0.95.
Thanks for your help!
