Fitting data of a table into A4 size
Dear FOP experts: I'm now building an application that generate report in PDF format. I'm using FOP. A requirement of report format is all report data must fit into a PDF page (A4 for example) in both vertical and horizontal sides. This is my solutions: We calulate maximum number of characters on a line in horizontal side, number of line in vertical side, after that we calculate the width and the height of a character and calculate the font size follow these width and height. Could you have an idea about this issue or suggest another solution? Best regards, Hiennt

Re: Running junit tests fails
junit.jar is sufficient. The jar should be placed in %ANT_HOME%/lib. Use JUnit 3.8.1 or later to be sure. The JUnit task is included in Ant's optional.jar but only works if junit.jar is present in %ANT_HOME%/lib. Actually, I don't understand why the JUnit suport is recognized but the test cases don't work.

problem with positioning of fo:block-container
Hello! I'm using fop 0.25 for quite complex design and output to pdf. i had some problems which i managed to solve, but one remains : in some files, fop has problem with element fo:block-container and positioning it on X axis. I mean - i have several fo:block-container elements with the same value in left attribute and different values in top attribute. One or more (smaller part of all) are rendered rather strange - x position of the block-container is badly shifted to right. i found solution - to manually change the order of the fo:block-container elements. but it sometimes results to shifting another fo:block-containers. is this known problem for fop 0.25? i need it for rather big project - i think it would be really good testing for fop .. :) ps: i have another problem, which i managed to solve, but i do not like my solution :). i have this piece of code : fo:block fo:inline font-family="arial"a/fo:inline fo:inline font-family="courrier"b/fo:inline fo:inline font-family="arial"c/fo:inline fo:inline font-family="courrier"d/fo:inline /fo:block is there any way to get 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' to render on one line? i mean, without putting all fo:inline on the same line (i have looong lines), like this: fo:blockfo:inline font-family="arial"a/fo:inlinefo:inline font-family="courrier"b/fo:inline... when i tried to use inline-container, nothing was rendered. my solution is something like this: fo:block font-family="arial" afo:inline font-family="courrier"b/fo:inlinecfo:inline font-family="courrier"d/fo:inline /fo:block thanx for anything.

Minimising FOP Runtimes
I have been working on creating a three tier system that per client requests gets data from a database, pumps this into a PDF via FOP XSL/XML processing, then sends the resulting PDF back to the client for display. This project is reaching its end and creating a 3 or 4 page document usually takes 4 or 5 seconds (this is just the FOP processing aspect). Now this is acceptable but there is no harm in hunting down speed improvements. Having read through (and implemented any relevant suggestions) the FOP documentation regarding speed, I thought it would also be a good idea to speak to the people that use this application on a daily basis, as experience is invaluable when it comes to this type of thing.

Actually, I don't understand why the JUnit suport is recognized but the test cases don't work. junit-3.8.1.jar is the lib subdirectory of the checked out distribution. The build script declares this directory to be ANT_HOME. When I put the junit jar file there, the JUnit support was recognized. The build script does not add the junit jar file to the LOCALCLASSPATH. But when I did that it made no difference. Ant's failure message mentions optional.jar. I do not have that because it does not come with the checkout. Could that be the cause?

Re: Running junit tests fails
Looks like it. Please download the latest Ant release and install it following Ant's installation instructions. Then use ant.bat/ant.sh to build FOP and not build.bat. Ant can be found at http://ant.apache.org. I've heard that best practice is not to bundle Ant with a project but to make an Ant installation a requirement on every machine someone wants to build Java projects on. Looks like we hit one of the reasons for this best practice here. I'll raise that point on fop-dev. Sorry for the trouble caused. I was the one to introduce JUnit tests in the build.xml for HEAD.

This may be due to inherited margin settings. Be sure to placeabsolutely positioned block containers only as immediate children of the flow, and that there are no margins set on the flow element.

There is no reason why it won't be rendered on one line. If you mean you don't want the whitespace between a and b and so on, then no, there is no way to do this without keeping the line breaks out of the text content. when i tried to use inline-container, nothing was rendered. This element isn't implemented. There is an error logged, and the content is dropped. I also don't think it would help with your problem if it was implemented.

Generate the '.fo' separately, say with command-line Xalan and then generate your PDF with command-line Fop. This may take more resources than a 'pipeline' approach like Cocoon but will tell you which step is more expensive. You will need to do this anyway if you wish to run a profiler. Has anyone tried CatchXSL at www.xslprofiler.org ? It seems to work and has a nice UI but I didn't grok it in the few minutes I played with it. (I suppose one could intentionally write some bad XSL to demonstrate the use of this tool.) Check your 'java' command. There are two versions of the JVM available(on professional OS's anyway) which are selectable as 'java -server' and 'java -client' respectively. I found a benefit of about 10% from the -server version.
