fo:region-body column-count question

2003-08-29 Thread Wessel van Norel
I've a question, is it possible to detect when you have entered the next 
column?

Why do I want to do this. I've a layout that is devided in 4 columns. 
Those 4 columns are setup like this:

X  |  Y  |  Y  |  X
The first and the last column contain the same type of data and the 
middle two columns also.

Also the data of X and Y are linked together (X is information about Y). 
They need to be next to each other, when a new X starts a new Y also 
starts.

To do this I want to create a region-body with two columns and within 
the columns I want to put a table with two cells. The problem is when 
the first column is full (reaches the end of the page) and the second 
column is started, the cells need to be swapped from position. I have 
absolutely no idea if this is possible and if so, how to do it.

I hope one of you guys can help me out.
Regards,
Wessel van Norel

Re: problems with fo:block and fo:block-container in FOP 0.20.3/0.20.5

Everything inside block-container is not visible on output, when I change
block-container into block, everything looks good,
why do you need to use block-container? block-containers are only partially 
implemented in FOP at the moment. In the example you posted, blocks will do 
exactly the same thing.

Another problem is related to situation when block contains 
block-container,
in this case I'm getting following error while running FOP:
FOP doesnt support block-containers inside a block, block-containers have to 
be a direct child of fo:flow at the moment.

yes, I know they will, but this example arised while I was wandering
how can I position something in XSL-FO using absolute positioning,
during those experiments I've made some XSL-FO code having block-containers
off topic, is there any possibility to use absolute positioning in FOP ?
if I remember properly it is not supported, is it ? any suggestions how
to use any trick to do this ?

absolute positioning is possible in FOP using block-containers. E.g.
fo:block-container position=absolute left=3in top=5in width=2in 
height=2in
fo:blockHello there/fo:block
/fo:block-container

As already mentioned you need to put them as direct descendents of fo:flow 
or they don't work. Note also the properies Ive used, you must specify all 
of them.

PDF generation with only a subset of a Font embedded?

2003-08-29 Thread Ricardo Coutinho
Title: PDF generation with only a subset of a Font embedded?





Hi all,


Does FOP support this feature. If so, then how can I enable it.


The complete embedding of the true type fonts is creating far too large pdfs.

By default, unless you specified '-enc ansi' when you created the metrics,
FOP subsets TrueType fonts.

Title: RE: PDF generation with only a subset of a Font embedded?





Thanks for the reply,


Okay then let me explain my actual problem which I thought was due to my font metrics files. My font metrics file were created with a previous version of FOP, i.e. there was no '-enc ansi' option.

My problem is that the I can not search the text in the generated PDFs. When looking at the PDF with an editor , it appears that everything is an image. Is this due to the fact the metrics files were CID-keyed? I read the information on the http://xml.apache.org/fop/fonts.html#truetype-metrics page explaining the differences in the metrics file generation.

Although using the metrics file with the '-enc ansi' fixes this problem, I am then have bloated PDFs. 


Are there any other alternatives?

RE: PDF generation with only a subset of a Font embedded?

2003-08-29 Thread Teator, Michael
My solution was to embed the entire font with the 'enc -ansi' option, then
post-process them with Neevia Document Converter to subset the fonts.  This
does a little better job with the subsetting as you can still search.

I believe Neevia just calls ghostscript to do this function.  I'm not
positive though, but since Neevia already worked, it was cheaper than
developing a solution with ghostscript.

No, you cant absolutely position a fo:block, that what fo:block-container is 
for.

do you know why block-container's content is not visible in some cases ?
which XSL-FO elements could I use inside of block-container to not loose
my content ?
What are the some cases that you've seen? If I have to guess, I would say 
the content is too big for the block-container. Are there any messages when 
you run FOP at the command line?
