Re: Page header/footer in FOP

The Page body will vary, causing pages to increase and I need to put the same header/footer line in all pages. Is there any possbile way to do this? This is fairly easy to achieve. Modify all your page-masters so they have a before and after region, e.g. fo:simple-page-master name=example page-width=210mm page-height=297mm margin-left=5mm margin-top=5mm margin-right=5mm margin-bottom=5mm fo:region-body margin-top=20mm margin-bottom=20mm/ fo:region-before extent=20mm/ fo:region-after extent=20mm/ /fo:simple-page-master Then in you page-sequence define two static regions with the contents of header and footer in each, e.g. fo:page-sequence master-reference=example fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before fo:blockThe header/fo:block /fo:static-content fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-after fo:blockThe footer/fo:block /fo:static-content fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body !-- your body content as usual -- /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence Chris _ Use MSN Messenger to send music and pics to your friends http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Merging XML and FO files
That's great, thanks a lot for those files they more or less cover everything I needed to know. One small thing though, due to the nature of the documents I am creating the ability to create intelligent tables is essential. As an example I have a table called foos in which all my foos are listed, the data being held in a database. Now as the total of foos I have increases (or decreases), I will need to regenerate the table (PDF) and this table needs to look professional. So I need something that will allow me to create dynamic tables that will only contain the amount of rows I need to add the details of the foos in the database. I had a look around on http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/ I found some information about basic merging, but nothing on dynamic merges. -Original Message- From: Manjush G.

One small thing though, due to the nature of the documents I am creating the ability to create intelligent tables is essential. As an example I have a table called foos in which all my foos are listed, the data being held in a database. Now as the total of foos I have increases (or decreases), I will need to regenerate the table (PDF) and this table needs to look professional. So I need something that will allow me to create dynamic tables that will only contain the amount of rows I need to add the details of the foos in the database. I had a look around on http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/ I found some information about basic merging, but nothing on dynamic merges. -Original Message- From: Manjush G.

page-height=indefinite in PDF rendering to be continued

First sorry for my poor english.
It seems that page-height=indefinite is not yet implemented in fop
0.20.5 with PDF Rendering
Is there another solution to make page-height dynamic ?
I have an idea, but i don't know if it will be work.
I have created a xsl variable like this : xsl:variable
name=page.height5cm/xsl:variable
and my simple-page-master tag is : fo:simple-page-master
master-name=default-page page-width=5.57cm
page-height={$page.height}
You can certainly set the page-height at XSLT stage.
Is possible to get the y coordinate (in cm or in) of the last block of
my document ?
Not until after the document has been rendered, which I assume is no
good to you? Why do you think you need to know this?
Chris
First, thanks for your anwser Chris, but it seems that i was not clear
in my first message
I need to create with FOP a document which have a static width (5 cm for
example) but with a dynamic height (dependant of the content lenght in
the document).
how generate a document with a adaptative height of the contents of the
document ?
I understood that i can set the page-height at XSLT stage, but at this
stage it is impossible to know the length (in cm) of the PDF output.
My first idea was to set the page-height during document is rendered,
but it seems impossible.
My last idea is to make one first document with an arbitrary page-height
(rather important), check the real size (y position in cm of the last
block of the document), and
make a new output with the real size in page-height (set during the
second XSLT stage)
It is certainly longer but it allows me to wait for the new version of
FOP which support the indefinite parameter in page-height during PDF
rendering.
thanks again for anwsers ;-)
regards, guillaume.

ERROR: Renderer has not been set!
When trying to convert an xml and xsl into a pdf by running the command: fop.sh -xsl filename.xsl -xml filename.xml -pdf filename.pdf on a solaris platform I receive the following output. This has worked on other boxes, I am not sure why it is not working on this one: FOP 0.20.1 using SAX parser org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser ERROR: Renderer has not been set!
