Re: PS printing
What exactly do you think is incorrect? It can very well be, that the PostScript renderer does not work well on every occasion, a lot of features are still missing.

RE: PS printing
I have an application that generate a pdf report. But if I change RENDER_PDF with RENDER_PS, the PS file is not correct... I think if I can generate a PS file, it's because it's possible to generate PS files, so I hope to see them... Where can I know if it is possible? Anyone has tried to create a PS file directly for printing it?

Re: PS printing
Raúl, ...the PS file is not correct... does not help me much to find out what problems you have. My best guess is you're using tables and the PostScript renderer is messing up the layout. The PostScript renderer has worked for some people. But even I (who made the PostScript renderer in the first place) am currently generating PDF and converting it to PostScript using Adobe Acrobat Reader on Unix. Others use GhostScript to convert PDF to PostScript. So it's probably best if you did the same. I remember discussions on the mailing list concerning direct printing of PostScript files. You might have to search the archives. On Mon, 14 Jan 2002 15:51:09 +0100 Raúl Carazo wrote: I have an application that generate a pdf report.

RE: PS printing
Excuse me... I'm using xsl with tables, stylesheet and an image. But what I can't see is the data. The PDF I generate is correct, but is not a file, but a data-flow to the browser. I can see it and print it correctly (even if I want to save it, I can. But this isn't the idea). But if I change it for RENDER_PS and I make the file (or I send it to the printer), I can't print it (the format is not correct), and if I transform it in a PDF (with Acrobat Distiller), the image is correctly set and some of the characters (lines, even an underline) are correct. Where can I found the files for past e-mails? And thank you very much!! Salve - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: PS printing
Now, I get it! Thanks. It seems as I suspected: The problems probably come from the tables. If you are on Unix, try Acrobat Reader 4.05 on the command-line (-toPostScript and friends) to generate PostScript from PDF and print it via LPR. If you are on Windows, try the command-line options of Acrobat Reader to directly print a PDF to a printer. Or you can try GhostScript. Everything should be in the mailing list archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev Another good source of information is the FAQ: http://www.owal.co.uk:8090 On Mon, 14 Jan 2002 16:23:19 +0100 Raúl Carazo wrote: Excuse me...
