Hi,

Oh, but you already have id attributes you can use... I think the following
would do it (rough sketch, supposing that the combination nodes are on the
same level as the tables node)


  

  

  



  

  



HTH!

Greetz,

intelligent page breaks with fop

2004-11-19 Thread Timo . Roessner



hi everybody, 
 
i am generating pdf using fop, 
the problem now is, that if e.g. the content of a table cell is longer than a 
page fop doesnt manage to split this up in an intelligent way, so it just 
extends the table cell on the next page, which looks really bad.in other 
words, i want to tell fop: if the content of the table cell goes beyond the 
extent of the page, close the table cell at the end of the page and continue 
printing the content on the next page in a new tablecell.i have searched for 
this in some tutorials, but found nothing, is there a way i can solve the 
problem?
 
thanks in advance
 
timo

Tom,

mailto: links are an "unsupported" feature in Acrobat, this problem
is not specific to FOP.

The only answer is not to use IE - Mozilla and Opera both work fine. Unfortunately
if you open the document in the Reader it ignores default browser settings
and opens IE anyway, you have to open it in the browser (need the plugin).

Regards,
Roland

I'm putting an email link into my pdf using teh following fop syntax in
my xsl... 

E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Clicking on the link in the created PDF brings up an email client ok but
it also brings up a browser 
which tries to access the url 'mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. 

How do I stop it from doing the latter? 

Thanks, 
Tom

The way to tackle this problem is use the generate-id() in your xsl 
stylesheet. I cant really be more specific without seeing an example of your XML.

I haven't done it myself, but I'm guessing that this would be best achieved
by the following:
- leave all footers as you generate them now, except for the total number of
pages --the current page-number is not what's causing the problem, so this
can remain as is-- maybe you can add an empty block or block-container to
make sure this space remains blank
- only for the total number of pages, use iText to add a text box to each
page at the coördinates where this would appear if you had
computed/generated it via XSL-FO

Could be. I'd certainly recommend looking at an extension that has been
posted recently on fop-dev:
http://wwwstud.ira.uka.de/~s_hecht/

This is an extension for PDF Forms --maybe you could also achieve the same
effect by adding the total number of pages through iText into a form-field
created with the forms extension... This could maybe avoid having to
generate a text box for every page separately, since the content is
identical for all pages after all.

Hope this helps!


Greetz,

Andreas
