Hi all, just in case someone hasn't noticed yet ;-) FOP 0.20.3 is finally available at http://xml.apache.org/dist/fop for downloading.

Other changes include: - support for CMYK and embedded ICC profiles in jpeg images - support for EPS images - improved font encodings for native (Acrobat) fonts - i18n improvments for AWT viewer - support for letter-spacing - Polish, Greek, and Hungarian hyphenation - and of course a lot of bugfixes...

Re: XML to AFP
A small group at UBS has once worked on an AFP renderer for FOP but the project got halted as far as I know and they didn't want to publish the code they've done. So, a way to go (even if it's not a simple one right now) would be to write an AFP renderer for FOP. You could also ask IBM what they have done in the PPML (http://www.podi.org/standards/ppml) corner. Maybe there's a possibility. I'm looking for a way to produce AFP (IBM's Advanced Function Presentation) file from XML. I know that there is commercial products like DI Pager. I also can produce PDF or PostScript file and then convert it to AFP format. But may be somebody knows a simpler way.

Yes, absolutely. Different headers, footers, sidebars, it doesn't matter. Same fo:flow, it doesn't matter. As long as the use of a page-sequence-master ensures that a given page is pointed at a specific page-master, the regions in _that_ page-master are used.

Empty cells
Hello, Sorry for the basic question, I am creating PDF forms which are dynamically populated using Java and this works fine. However it is also required that these forms can be printed without the data from the Java. When I do this, if there are any rows with all blank cells, the whole row just collapses. I have looked on the w3c site but could not find the answer. Altering the line-height does not do anything. I have used 'invisible' characters to prop the row open till now but this has become impractical. I'm sure there is a very simple solution to my problem. Regards

FW: [iText-questions] Re: merging two libraries
My suggestion was *not* to merge the two! iText is a Java API with a document creation focus. In this day and age, XSL:FO can be viewed as just another document type - in the same way that more proprietary or older formats are (that is, PDF, RTF, etc.). Now XSL:FO is different in that you can't just double click on one and see something. But the FOP project comes close. Making iText (optionally) output xsl:fo would greatly extend its potential applications and make it squarely standards based. I would like to think that someday, StarOffice, Wordperfect, etc. would either natively use xsl:fo as their file storage format or at least be able to import it.

In this day and age, XSL:FO can be viewed as just another document type - in the same way that more proprietary or older formats are (that is, PDF, RTF, etc.). Sorry if it's a bit off-topic, but this issue is similar to the one we just managed to handle between POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/) and Cocoon (http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/). POI is a project that makes it possible to read-write common office file formats in Java. Cocoon is an XML processing framework-server. The POI team donated a Cocoon component that uses POI and outputs XML, but on the Cocoon side, committers saw too much POI code in it. Basically we understood that a project to read-write a file format should have a solid Java API. Other projects can use it to produce other results. Merging is not the best solution, both for developers and users.

Re: Empty cells
I was using fop-0.20.1 and got [WARN]: property - empty-cells is not implemented yet. So I upgraded to fop-0.20.3 and am still getting the same error.

Re: problems with fo:external-graphic
Hello Michael, Do you still have the same problem ? (SVGDocument class not found ?) I've got the same problem. It heavily depends on your tomcat version you are using. A quick hack for me was to move batik.jar from my WEB-INF/lib directory to Tomcat's common/lib. It works, but it's not very cool if you wish to make a deployable archive (a WAR file), because you have to install the WAR, ANDTHEN : Batik.jar in common/lib. Ithink the problem comes from Tomcat itself, in the way it loads the jar files. The custom class loaders behaves totally differently between Tomcat 3.2 and Tomcat 4.0.x. And even between Tomcat 4.0.1, 2 and 3 I donthave the problem with Tomcat 4.0.1 (jdk1.3.1on Linux and on Windows2K) and the problem appears with Tomcat 4.0.3 on W2K.

Rendered SVG does not contain images from xsl:fo external-graphic/
Hello, I would like to know if there is a convenient way to make preview images from xsl:fo documents. I tried rendering to SVG and feeding to Batik's JPEG transcoder, but it seems that the rendered SVG does not contain images specified with external-graphic/ in xsl:fo. Is this a bug or a not yet implemented feature? In addition, Batik transcoder does not even display text when JPG is constructed. I am using embedded ttf for displaying text. The ttf is present in my system, of course. Can this be the problem? Everything is ok when I render to PDF. Andrius
FOP Performance Limitations?
Title: FOP Performance Limitations? All, I am currently working on a project where we are dynamically creating PDF documents based on a user input. When a user selects a specific period of time, we pull out the matching records from the database, convert the dataset to XML and render a PDF report based on that dataset. Now, everything works fine when we are manipulating up to 200 records (we get the result in 1 or 2 minutes). However some reports manipulate 7000 or 8000 records and in these particular instances, the performance degrades fairly significantly (no report was rendered after 40 minutes). Does any of you have any idea/input on how to improve performance using FOP in such cases and what type of performance we should expect for the above examples? Thank you for your help.

Re: FOP Performance Limitations?
I've been making pretty big PDFs with a similar system and can share a few off-the-cuff comments. It's obvious to me that the structure of your fo document - sequences, page layout, flows, etc - can make a significant difference in memory usage and speed. However, I don't have enough concrete conclusions about what exactly does what and how to offer any useful advice on that level... perhaps others can help you there... The big thing I noticed was page numbers. If you use them and especially if you make references to them (i.e. building a table of contents) you'll see a significant speed and memory impact. GC consequences to references, perhaps. Basically you need to tune your fop script to give FOP the maximum possible heap size (i.e. fop.bat starts with java -Xmx256M ...). If you make it too large, you'll discover that between Java and FOP the memory access patterns will spank the shit out of your VM once the heap exceeds the available RAM and you start to swap. Some observations of your machine's memory availability during normal use and some experimentation should get you to the right number. Your experience of having 40+ minute rendering times is strongly suggestive of swap binding. Practically speaking, you need to make your heap small enough that java never swaps, and limit your recordset size on the front end to make sure that you never hit that memory ceiling. Between this and throwing hardware at the problem (multiple Xeons and 1GB+ RAM) we've made a go of it for 1000+ page documents. But of course every recordset+template is different so that pagecount isn't necessarily meaningful at all. One thing that I haven't tried yet but am very curious to experiment with is FOP + IBM JVM. CW has it that the IBM VM is significantly superior to Sun's VM on both CPU and RAM efficiency. If I manage to get to this, I'll post my results. If anyone else has or happens to get to it first, I'd love to hear what happens. I mean, after your write-once-porting-is-slightly-less-painful experience.
