Before worrying about encryption and digital signatures, Fop needs to achieve full conformance to the basic FO specification. Remember, Fop deals primarily with XSL:Fo and PDF is only one of the output methods. Fair enough, but if it is in an open spec. It is likely possible, which is what the OP was asking. I do of course agree that conformance, possibly full conformance to FO should be achieved before concentrating on minutiae such as this, which are probably only of interest to a minority. Standards conformance is in the interests of all. I think, though, that it is also true that the majority of people here have a greater interest in PDF than any other application of FOP. Furthermore there is already a high quality FO -> TeX pathway, so I don't think that people would be inconvienced by an effort to 'polish' the PDF arm of this project. > If so, it should surely be still possible to encrypt/lock a document. Do I hear you volunteering to write the code to do it? Yes. I am not sure that I will get started full before the end of February, but I intend to contribute to 1. Java 1.1.8 version 2. keep-with 3.

pcl output & landscape documents
Hi, some time ago I posted a question on how to get fop to generate a landscape document in pcl correctly. I got no answer so I searched for a work-around. Here it is for anyone who should run into the same problem: -generate the pcl file as-is. if you send this to the printer you will get a clipped portrait-oriented document. -now write a program/script that searches to pcl-file for '&l0O' (\027 + & + l + zero + capital O), and substitute all these by '&l1O' (\027 + & + l + one + capital O). -send this 'enhanced' pcl-file to the printer, you'll get a nice landscape doc. In fact what you've done is replace the pcl-code for 'portrait' by the 'landscape'-code. Dirty, but it works... I'm not a java expert myself, but why is it so difficult to build into the pcl-renderer to check the width of the page against the height of the page and set the orientation accordingly? Andy
Reusing Driver object instances
Hi, I am trying to make my code more efficient, so I was reading FOP documentation to find out what is said there about optimizing. the following is said about reusing objects in file http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html : *** > If FOP is going to be used multiple times within your application it may be useful to reuse certain > objects to save time. The renderers and the driver can both be reused. A renderer is reusable once >the previous render has been completed. The driver is reuseable after the rendering is complete and > the reset method is called. You will need to setup the driver again with a new OutputStream, > InputStream and renderer. *** How can I know in my Java code that the Driver.render method is done? When is Driver.reset method called? I am dynamically generating the XSL-FO document from XML and XSL documents. I am thinking that I could have a single class variable for each of my XSL stylesheets, and always use the same object instance when generating XSL-FO documents. Should I have the code that is calling method Driver.render inside a synchronized block to be thread-safe? I am not actually sure if I want to always have only one PDF document rendered at a time... has anyone found a good solution for this? ( in other words: does someone understand what the text i cited from FOP documentation means at practical (Java) level? :) ) Thanks, - Teemu

Lock generated PDF was Re: Security on FOP
I have a question: with FOP, Is possible to lock with a password the PDF Document generated??? No. [ snip ] You will have to do some post-processing with other software. Is this something that is not implemented? Or something that is thought to be not possible or not desirable? My understanding is that is is possible to both digitally sign and encrypt PDF files. This is described in the 'ppk_pdfspec.pdf' downloadable. Is it known that digital signing needs some form of authorit not available to authors of FOP/Apache? If so, it should surely be still possible to encrypt/lock a document. Ben.
