Re: Background image - resolution changed during fop processing
Hi, My solution to resolve this problem is to use the different zone. The body zone is over the region-before zone. Also, you can put your image in the body zone and your data in the region- before zone. fo:page-sequence master-reference=pdgGeneral fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before-pdgGeneral Your data /fo:static-content fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block fo:external-graphic src=... height=...cm/ /fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence Antoine POURCHEZ Selon Barbara Baur [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi I tried to follow the hints on graphics resolution and set an image width using the content-width property. Unfortunately this did not work, probably because background-image itself is a property of fo:region-body.. I 'solved' the problem in the meantime by resampling the image to 72 dpi. This may work for simple images but for more complex ones the result may not be satisfactory when the pdf is printed. So I am still looking for a proper solution for this background-image problem.

RE: Need text to flow outside the block
Thanks for your input. I have run out of ideas trying to get the text to fit and now looking into commercial formatters. I have an issue with images also. I am setting the content width and content height to fit images within a certain boundaries. This works great for images larger than the area. FOP shrinks it to the correct size. But, now the images smaller than the region are getting stretched. I am using eps image files. Any way to shrink large images (which I have achieved) but avoid smaller images from stretching?

There is no easy way to get this working with FOP. The possible options as I see them: 1) redesign your document so that absolutely positioned text doesn thave variable height. 2) redesign your stylesheet/FO making use of an outer table with nested tables. This is difficult to explain in an e-mail, but I have had to do this myself for a customers rather complicated statement with lots of absolutely positioned items. 3) I hate to admit defeat, but you may have to consider a commercial XSL-FO formatter. snip/ Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Help me from Outmemory issue
From my recent investigations I can assure you there there is no FO rendering tool that is less memory intensive, and the current version of FOP is one of the best choices in terms of memory usage. I use FOP for report generation, and I can have source XML documents that can be from 20kb to 1.2GB (yes GB). This is do-able if your willing to accept that performance is not going to be stellar, and you have to accept a lot of restrictions in XSL and XML development. Just to head off the inevitable question. Many of the reports are stored for future audit purpose, and the number of pages isn't an issue since the PDF is searchable. The information needs to be stored in a non-(easily)-editable format as at a point in time. The transforms must go through the XSL:FO transformation because the end user is able to edit the stylesheets and alter visual layout. Here's some of my experience: 1. The first problem your run into is that none of the XML transformers are easily able to handle a 1.2GB XML for transformation. All of them seem to insist on loading the entire XML into memory, even when using a SAX or Stream input source. There are three solutions. a.) Use SAXON in the preview mode which allows you to process the document as you read it, or b.) Write a disk based XML DOM solution and extend out the NodeSource class in SAXON (see the JDOM input source example), or c) create the FO directly instead of creating XML for transformation. I choose option b, and I created a Disk based XML that allows DOM style access to an XML document of unlimited size. The memory footprint is about 12MB regardless of the XML size, but you pay with performance. 2. All of the current FOP tools I looked at usememory to store the the pre-rendered FO information. The onlyproduct that I could overcome this with was FOP, where after an end of page-sequence it renders to disk and free's the memory. In order to use this I determine a logic group-by that is frequent enough to reduce memory usage and break on that. It results in a new page at the end of every group-by selection, but it works. There are a lot of choices for this, you could use something like a break on change in first letter in an alpha-name sort (ie moving from A-B creates a new page). By page sequence the fo:tag that is refered to is 'fo:page-sequence'. Each time a '/fo:page-sequence' is encountered the in memory info is rendered. !!!This means that you can no longer use page numbering, so I use iText to post-process the report and add the 'Page x of y' to the bottom of every page. To date, my largest transformation was a 1.1GB FO document, resulting in a 378,000 page report. Total transform time, including XML - FO, then FO- PDF was about 45 minutes on a P4 2.8 with 512MB RAM. The upper JVM memory size was set at -Xmx128m, and during the transform the peak memory usage was about 110MB. (so under the maximum) As a finally note, there is a FOP alternate design project that is underway that is addressing the memory usage, but it's not yet available Hope these suggestions help. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Monday, June 14, 2004 2:45 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Help me from Outmemory issue Hi all, I am having out of memory issues when transforming my FO - PDF using fop-0.20.5rc2.

Wrapping too long words?
Hi there, i have the following problem. Perhaps you can help me. Ok, since i am producing my fo file from an automatically created xml file, there are often words wich are too big for a table cell and so overflow in the next cell. Sometimes words are even to long for one line of the page. So is there a fo attribute to wrap the word and go forward in a new linewhen it exceeds a predefined length? It has not to be an "intelligent" wrapping like hyphenation. Ciao.
