Re: Question about watermarking in FOP.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one but I have forwarded your enquiry to the fop-user mailing list. You should join in, perhaps. Trev Todeush, Serhiy To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Serhiy.Todeus[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: Question about watermarking in FOP. 25/05/2002 02:55 AM Hello, Trevor! My name is Serhiy Todeush. I am using FOP 0.20.3 to generate PDFs. Couple of days ago I run into problem with watermark in my documents because current version of FOP does not support BACKGROUND-IMAGE. I saw you answer on the FOP-user forum about using an image in REGION-BEFOR as a substitution for watermark. I tried this technique and it worked. But I still have a problem, because the image appears on the top of text in the main body, i.e. I cannot see text behind the image. (I use GIF file with transparent background as the image). Dou you know by any chance how to resolve the issue? Is there any way to bring main body text to foreground? May be you have some working example which you can share with me? I really appreciate your attention to my request. Thank you in advance, Serhiy

drawing a table with different line-widths
Hi, I have to layout a table like this: = -- = = -header - = = -- = = -- = = -- = =--= . . . = - last - = = -- = My first try was to define border properties on the header, the body and around all cells. I thought I got it, but when I printed in postscript the lines were stacked in each other. I used PDF first and that was fine. I need to get PS though. Now my second try looks like this fo:table xsl:call-template name=Tabelle/ fo:table-body border-left=1.5pt border-right=1.5pt border-top=0pt border-bottom=0pt border-style=solid xsl:apply-templates select=... mode=tabelle/ /fo:table-body /fo:table xsl:template name=geheimhaltungsTabelle fo:table-column column-width=50mm/ fo:table-column column-width=50mm/ fo:table-column column-width=50mm/ fo:table-header border-width=1.5pt border-style=solid fo:table-row fo:table-cellfo:block font-weight=bold.../fo:block/fo:table-cell fo:table-cell border-top=0pt border-bottom=0pt border-right=0.5pt border-left=0.5pt border-style=solid fo:block font-weight=boldmiddle cell/fo:block/fo:table-cell fo:table-cellfo:block font-weight=boldName/fo:block/fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /fo:table-header /xsl:template xsl:template match=... mode=tabelle fo:table-row fo:table-cell border-top=0pt border-bottom=0.5pt border-left=0pt border-right=0pt border-style=solid fo:blockxsl:value-of select=...//fo:block/fo:table-cell fo:table-cell border-top=0pt border-bottom=0.5pt border-left=0.5pt border-right=0.5pt border-style=solid fo:blockxsl:value-of select=...//fo:block/fo:table-cell fo:table-cell border-top=0pt border-bottom=0.5pt border-left=0pt border-right=0pt border-style=solid fo:blockxsl:value-of select=...//fo:block/fo:table-cell /fo:table-row /xsl:template results in a gap between header and body. And of course I still have to fix the bottom line. I tried fop 0.20.2 and 0.20.3-2002-03-04. I think it might have s.th. to do with the border-collapse property, but as it seems fop or I do not understand the spec. Can anybody help please? Best regards Markus Fries
WG: Re: FOP FO to MIF transformation not working?
Hi, I may be missing something obvious, but FOP does not appear to run MIF conversions. I attempted to convert simple.fo from examples/fo to MIF and received the following output: fop simple.fo -mif simple.mif [INFO]: FOP 0.20.3rc [INFO]: building formatting object tree [INFO]: rendering areas to MIF [INFO]: [1] [ERROR]: null All other formats work fine. Do I need to any special FO directives for MIF to process? Thanks, Robert
Re: WG: Re: FOP FO to MIF transformation not working?
I had the same error and it was due to the attribute::master-name instead of attribute::master-reference in fo:page-sequence and fo:conditional-page-master-reference solution: replace master-name with master-reference in the mentioned fo-items and it should work !

Re: AW: WG: Re: FOP FO to MIF transformation not working?
Hi Robert, I've token a look and tried to generate the MIF file on my machine, and it worked without any problems. The difference : I'm using FOP 0.20.3 You're using FOP 0.20.3rc It might be the problem !

I could not find the mentioned attributes. In my example there is already fo:page-sequence master-reference =simple. You would help me a lot (!), when you could tak a look to the attached file, or if you would send me an exmple that works in your environment.

The implementation for collapsing borders is, well, incomplete. Read the comments near the end of src/../fo/flow/TableCell.java why it's not easy to adhere to the spec. You should probably use border-bottom on the blocks within the table cells and refrain from specifying different widths for border-top and border-bottom. Happy tampering! J.Pietschmann
