RE: Omitting content length
Well, the alternative is chunked transfer-coding (which can be used on either the request or response payloads). This is completely defined by HTTP 1.1, and _must_ be accepted in both directions by HTTP 1.1 compliant apps, so if you send it to a recent IE browser it should know what to do with it. I assume. :-) In the context of servlet engines it doesn't make sense for a servlet to be aware that a _request_ was transfer-coded, whether chunked or anything else. The HTTP layer should handle this transparently. If it doesn't then it will probably choke before your servlet ever gets a chance at it (this is what should happen anyway). Going in the other direction one can only that the servlet engine/HTTP server combo will pick up on the fact that, at the instant that it must commit the response, it doesn't have a content-length, and will therefore switch over to chunked transfer coding, thereby keeping the connection open _and_ allowing you not to worry about calculating an overall content-length. I see from mailing lists that the Tomcat people were talking about chunked transfer coding for Tomcat 3.2/3.3 a year or more ago - do they have it properly implemented in 4.0 - I don't know. Worth checking out. If all else fails I'd suggest that your servlet do all the work itself, but my gut feeling is that if the servlet engine doesn't do chunked transfer coding anyway, it's hardly going to properly react to the fact that your servlet is doing it itself - it'll probably close the connection on you anyway after committing the first buffer. Hope that helps.

It looks like what is happening is that I was writing this directly to a servlet's outputstream, so I never set the content length header. This made IE puke, although Lynx caught it ok. I've read through the threads about how IE handles content length header and requests the document twice.

increases his size extremly whit every new page. Its always the same svg

Re: size of pdf
There's currently no such option AFAIK. I've got the same problem,
although I don't have such big graphics. This will eventually be
improved.
Work-around: If you include this header graphic on every page in your
document you could skip it entirely in the FO file and create an overlay
page as a PDF with only the ever repeating stuff. Then you have to use
some PDF touch-up tool to include the overlay page in the target PDF and
apply the overlay on every page.

Several questions about FOP
Hi all, i've got several questions about PDF generation with FOP. We want to use a open-source implementation of XSL-FO in our project, but stumbled across several open topics. Perhaps you can help us with these: 1) Can one use FOP on a host-environment, ie. IBM mainframe computers, or does EBCDIC somehow cause problems 2) Can one use font A, even is font A is _not_ installed on a client? Is this done automatically when rendering the PDF, or do I have to include additional fonts somehow in the PDF? 3) Is linearilazation possible, ie. displaying the first page while loading the rest? In Acrobat Reader, this can be queried in the File- Document Info-General-Optimized = true|false 4) How well does FOP perform in comparision to other XSL-FO implementations? Thanks for your time in advance, Sebastian Will

In Acrobat Reader, this can be queried in the File- Document Info-General-Optimized = true|false I think this is possible but I don't know whether I recommend it. If you generate on the fly then you will innevitably hit issues regarding Content Length and IE resulting in you generating the whole PDF before serving any of it at all. Is linearilazation a property of the PDF, the reader, or the thing serving the PDF? 4) How well does FOP perform in comparision to other XSL-FO implementations? FOP's strength is not really in its speed or memory use. It performs reasonably when compared to other engines (so I am told) but other commercial xsl:fo engines may be faster for what you need to do.

FOP creates page descriptions suitable for printing eg PDF, RTF, or other more exotic formats. I can't see any reason for the output of FOP to be used for a query string. Do you perhaps mean the output of Xalan (the XSLT engine)? If so then perhaps an XSL or Xalan mailing list may be more appropriate.

PDF Plugin Launch
Hello, I am using FOP embedded in a servlet. I use the following two lines to inform the browser that the result stream is a PDF file: response.setContentType(application/pdf); response.setHeader(Content-disposition, attachment; filename =\report.pdf\); Upon receiving the PDF file, Internet Explorer will launch the File Download dialog that asks What would you like to do with this file? with the options being Save or Open. This is not the behavior I want. I want Internet Explorer to simply launch the Acrobat plugin to view the PDF within the context of the browser. This is what IE does if there is simply a link in the HTML that points to file.pdf. Coincidentally, Mozilla launches the plugin to view the PDF, as desired. How can I set the content type and/or the header so that IE launches the Acrobat plugin rather than saving the PDF to file or launching Acrobat externally?

Re: Absolute positioning?
Patrick, The block container size needs to be big enough to fit the contents. Any contents that don't fit in the height and width get cut off. Make the height 24mm. The border attribute needs all 3 components, solid 1px black I'm not sure if bottom is implemented. You can calculate the top by using (region-before-height - block-container-height) I haven't gotten to the position elements in my testing.

RE: Absolute positioning?
Hi Chuck, sure I can set the top attribute, but then I will have to take care that the table in the block container will have to fit 100% with the start of the table of the xsl-region-body. I hoped with using bottom I was always sure to get the bottom of the last block element in xsl-region-before attached correctly to the first block of xsl-region-body. What do you think ? Dipl.

Re: Absolute positioning?
Patrick, Sounds good to me. Try it and see if it works. (Then write to the list to tell us if it does.) The bottom attribute is definately part of the spec.

FOP Servlet example problem
HI, I am trying the examples of FOP (0.20.3), most FO file run successfully except 'images.fo'. When I run FOP as a standalone application, all examples work fine, however, I encounter a problem when I try the servlet version. I deployed the fop.war in Tomcat 4.0.3. When I try the 'images.fo', the returned PDF do not have any images. The following messages displayed in the log of Tomcat.

Re: PDF Plugin Launch
I wonder if this is a variation of the oft reported IE5 problem with recognizing document types. IE ignores (I think) content type and depends upon the 'pdf' extension. The extension gets mangled. To solve the problem, use 'a=b.pdf' as your extension name. Another exceedingly annoying issue is the interaction between Acrobat 5 and IE5. If you allow Acrobat to do its thing in the IE 5 browser window, eventually the connection will break and you'll be looking at a blank IE screen. The problem is in the ActiveX version of Acrobat used when Acrobat is opened within the browser. To assure that this will not happen, I'd advise running the Adobe reader outside the browser - this can be done by adjusting Acrobat's properties: in Acrobat 5.0 Edit-preferences-General Select 'options' in the left column, make sure checkbox next to Display PDF in Browser is unchecked.

Re: Several questions about FOP
1) Can one use FOP on a host-environment, ie. IBM mainframe computers, or does EBCDIC somehow cause problems FOP is written in Java and Java uses UNICODE for characters. I know better than to suggest that EBCDIC won't be problematic but in theory it's not supposed to be a problem. Although it's been a while since I served on a battleship ;-) I understand that Big Blue now provide Linux on the Operating Systems formerly known as MVS and/or VM.
