Fonts in PDF (embedded postscript)
Hi all, I create pdf-documents with fop which have other postscript files inside. Now when I print the generated pdf, the fonts (specified in the postscript) are substituted by (I think) Courier. I've tried to embed these fonts into the pdf. Now the content of the pdf uses this fonts correctbut the embedded postscript looks still poor on printing. I print the pdf via command line on Acrobat Reader 5.0. Has anyone an idea?

I tried with XEP (from RenderX) and it seems to work here. The problem with XEP is a) it does note support pcl output, which I need, and b) it is a Windows-only-thing, which is also a problem. [...] AFAIK, XEP is not limited to Windows. Probably Nwilan meant Antenna formatter, which is windows only.

and characters in fo:block
I have problem with '' and '' characters. I use fop for doing some reports, and from time to time I need to print something like 'empty' or 'null' Of course I cannot just write this in content of fo:block element, becouse XMLparser will expect /empty or /null tags, but how to print that MZ
Table footers and headers
Can I define table-headers and table-footers that are only visualized when the table is segmented into several pages? If the table spans 3 pages, is the effect that I want that page 1 has a footer but no header, page 2 has both header and footer, and page 3 has header but no footer. If the table spans 1 page, then no header or footer should be visualized. Thanks for any help! _ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
RE: Fonts in PDF (embedded postscript)
Attached is a sample pdf file with one included postscsript-ad (Ad.ps). The PDF uses the same font like the original postscript file (BellCentennial). The postscript file is called in the generated fo-file as followed: fo:block text-align=center fo:external-graphic src=file:/c:/Ad.ps/ /fo:block I print the document on command line from whithin a java program: Runtime.getRuntime().exec( [path_to_acrobat]/acdrord32.exe myfile.pdf /p /h ); The text in the pdf is using this special font but the postscript font will be substituted on printing with Courier. If I print the generated pdf document to a postscript-file and open it with gsview everything looks ok (fonts are installed in ghostscripts fonts directory). It's impossible to embedd the font in each postscript file, because of the most of the postscript files contains only one line (like Name Tel.-Nr.). (Theoretically) hundreds of generated ad's are in one pdf-proof and thousends of proofs can be processed in a batch.

Acrobat maps the font names to different names when you convert a PDF to PS. The PS part in the PDF has then no access to the embedded fonts because the names don't match. You could try to let the application that produces your EPS files embedd the fonts. I've checked with CorelDraw and it works. But that will obviously mean that the font gets embedded twice, once for the EPS and once for the PDF. Another approach is to switch to SVG instead of EPS. Can you post a sample? How do you print the PDF? Jeremias Maerki attachment: example.zip

I don't know how to put the file name after file:/// (assume that every thing is in resource.jar) FOP has no idea where your xsl is stored, it just receives fo document as input. You must provide valid absolute or relative URI for each image, that's it, you can use http:, file:, jar:, gopher: protocols, whatever java supports.

A user can then filout the form and print it. see http://www.erhverv.toldskat.dk/Blanketter/31025.pdf Hi Thomas, Currently it is not possible. It should be quite possible to do this with an extension but so far no one has implemented such an extension. Keiron.

Is it possible to position a block in an exact location and have the rest of the text flow around it? example.

keep-with-next and small-caps
Title: keep-with-next and small-caps I have two problems: I'm trying to keep multiple rows together, like so: fo:table-row keep-with-next=always [ cells ] /fo:table-row fo:table-row keep-with-next=always [ cells ] /fo:table-row fo:table-row [ cells ] /fo:table-row That doesn't seem to keep it together though (no changed behavior). I looked at xsl:fo tutorials and this mailing list's history and it seemed to me the above should work. I'm using fop-0.20.4. Any alternatives/suggestions? I was using font-variant=small-caps in a table-header. That was working just perfect if this table only was one page. The header was also present on consecutive pages but the small-caps was gone (it was just normal font-variant). Why is that? In particular I'm very confused by that because I thought fop only evaluates the header once (I verified that with debug messages). So how can the header then be different for tables that span multiple pages? The above seemed fop issues to me (limitations?), so I hope I'm at the right place. If not let me know and I guess I'll seek an xsl-fo mailing list. thanks, Philip

I looked at xsl:fo tutorials and this mailing list's history and it seemed to me the above should work. I'm using fop-0.20.4. Any alternatives/suggestions? It works fine for me. Chances are you misunderstood the semantics a little bit. keep-with-next constraint means that last area generated by the object shouldn't be a trailing one within a context (page, column, line), therefore the only a situation when your table-row ends up and there is no areas after it on the page considered to be not satisfying the constraints. I mean if your row starts on 1 page and ends on 2 one then next row should be started immidiately after it on 2 page and the condition is satisfied.

xsl-fo as a report writer
Hi, I am an analyst/programmer working for a small data processing application service provider. We currently use a proprietary 4GL as a report writer. Sadly the report writer in this 4GL isquite buggy. We have reported these bugs to the 4GL vendor but they have said that they have no intention to fix any of the bugs with their report writer module. The 4GL can export data in xml format. My intention is to evaluate xsl-fo/xsl to see how wellit can render this data to the printed page. My questions are: Can xsl-fo handle headers/subheaders/footers/subfooters/totals/subtotals/control breaks and so forth? Can xsl-fo handle line drawing?
