Re: Userconfig.xml for FOP within an applet.
JeremiasSorry about the cross posting. I was not aware of it...Will not be repeated.I could get Japanese fonts in PDF within the applet without having to jar up any of the userconfig.xml,msgothic.xml and msgothic.ttf files.

A few months back I could use FOP within an applet to convert XML residing on the server to PDF and then send the resulting PDF to the printqueue on the clients default printer. This works perfectly. Now my question is I want FOP within the applet to recognize Japanese character sets. My approach is to have the userconfig.xml, msgothic.ttf and msgothic.xml ( font metrics ) files in the same jar file as the Applet itself. Would this work? Can I just load the userconfig.xml file from the jar file using the classloader and then call FOP ?

Re: representative example needed
Thanks! Success stories ([1] is my favorite)--as well as failures (honesty of its limitations also being helpful in increasing confidence in FOP)--are always welcome on this list. Oh, you want success stories. That I can do. I use FOP to produce all the documentation for a small software firm. I am a consulting technical writer (though I have been programming at least part time since 1987). I am responsible for creating documents both for the company itself and for several customers (each of whom naturally wants their own logos, legal wording, and so on). I use two primary stylesheets with FOP: One to produce most of my conventional documents (user guides, API guides, etc.) and another specifically for data dictionaries. The firm specializes in data warehouses for the software industry, so each customer needs a customized data dictionary. So far, the largest has been over 1600 pages in size, and FOP produces it in about 2 minutes. By the way, I use Saxon to write the FO source, since I use a number of XSLT 2 features. I also use Saxon to write the HTML versions of our documents. The only thing I really wish FOP had is better control over page breaks. I use small tables to keep headings with their trailing paragraphs and images with their captions. Other than that, I use an attribute in my five levels of heading elements to force a page break (with break-before), so I can make things look OK. Still, I wish it did better with keeps and breaks in general. I gather that's the big problem that drove the creation of a new branch and the current 1.0 effort. I've had to accept some other limitations and fiddle with memory settings, but keeps and breaks have been the only real limitation to date. In sum, thanks for FOP!

RE: representative example needed
I'm a relative newcomer to XSLT and FOP but I immediately saw the value it could offer. We have a layer of DB access objects which produce XML for reporting purposes. Rather than plug in an expensive off the shelf reporting tool I suggested and prototyped an XSLT/FOP reporting architecture. It works. The largest report so far has been 3000 pages (why anyone would want a report 3000 pages long is beyond me) and it renders quite quickly for a report of that scale.

RE: representative example needed
I should say a few words as well. I work as a computer programmer for a small software firm. We first started looking at FOP late 2001, because we had a potential bank as customer who liked to have their public yearly funds development reports produced by us. By Norwegian law, the development of a bank's funds must be reported to the public 2 times a year. So there is loads of data that has to be processed and visually presented(both print and PDF for web), this would be almost impossible to do by hand. We have two of Norway's biggest banks in our portfolio by now. This has been a great success for us. The only problems we have is, since we use PANTONE/CMYK colors for print documents, we need to carry out an automated color replace job since FOP only handles RGB. We have had some minor layout problems due to the lack of support for the space-before.conditionality/space-after.conditionality attributes(or whatever it is called), that would have made it possible to insert spaces between objects in a flowing page only where appropriate. FOP has really helped us here. We have thought for a long time that it is time to give something back to FOP, in form of development contribution. I have been programming PDF components for a long time and know the PDF file format, as well as XSL-FO. Therefore, i think i might be able to help out. However, we havent really taken the time for that. Now i think we can do that, so i hereby also let you know that i am interested in starting to contribute. 3 examples of documents that we have generated(targeting mass printing for broschure production) you can find here: http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample1.pdf http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample2.pdf http://dev.oslokb.no:8080/dennis/Sample3.pdf Regards, Dennis JD Myrén Developer Oslo Kodebureau Tel: (+47) 98 00 11 92 Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.oslokb.no -Original Message- From: Lawford, Mark : Enable [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 8. februar 2005 16:18 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: representative example needed I'm a relative newcomer to XSLT and FOP but I immediately saw the value it could offer.

I also will defer to the experts, but my recollection is that FOP 0.20.5 doesn't support any encodings but Adobe Standard and ISO Latin 1, neither of which AFAICT handles the required Polish characters mentioned. Best way to tell for sure is to open the output from PFMReader and see what it was able to do. The standard Type 1 files don't have anything resembling the Unicode tables in TrueType fonts. I haven't delved into the multibyte Type 1 formats enough to know how they are handled there, but FOP doesn't handle those formats anyway. Best bet for FOP 0.20.5 is probably to use a TrueType font, but then you have to live with the encoding limitations there (either WinAnsi or underlying text is scrambled).

Re: Embedding Type 1 Polish font - Bayesian Filter detected spam
The problem is that the PFB file defines an encoding that differs from WinAnsiEncoding in several characters. FOP only supports Type1 fonts which have an unchanged WinAnsiEncoding or Symbol encoding (if I remember correctly). In your PDF you see the oacute character which is in the WinAnsiEncoding, but you don't see nacute, for example, which the PFB file maps to code point 241 which is ntilde in WinAnsiEncoding. The real problem is that FOP currently doesn't contain a parser for PFB or PFA files that could parse the character map. I don't know if Victor Mote could use the font with his PFB parser in FOray. Anyway, you're out of luck with this font in FOP and you will have to find a TrueType equivalent of your font so you get proper Unicode support.

If it is a standard Type 1 font file, FOray should be able to parse it, but doesn't yet know how to reencode it for the PDF. If it is a CFF file, FOray would probably say that it doesn't recognize the format. Victor Mote - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Servlet Example with inputStream
Hi, im looking for an Servlet (or struts action) example, the builds the pdf DIRECTLY from the response stream. I studied the servlet example and googled some time, but all examples deal with files as input. Has anyone ever realised this task or knows such an example ? thx... - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Servlet Example with inputStream
This isn't really exactly what you're looking for, but it should help,
the XSL file is a URL, you just pass in the XML Document and it returns
a PDF. I create the XML in another method, but this is a start.
public void renderPDF(Document xmlDoc, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException
{
try
{
// Lets get the XSL file in stream form
// First get the Serlet Context so a true url can be
// determined
ServletContext sc = this.getServletContext();
URL xslURL = sc.getResource(xslReportDirectory +
xslFilename);
Source xslSource = new StreamSource(new
java.net.URL(xslURL.toString()).openStream());
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// We're returning a pdf so set it as the content type
response.setContentType(application/pdf);
//String output = null;
// Create a Document by creating the DocumentBuilderFactory
// and the Document Builder
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document docResult = db.newDocument();
// Create a DOMResult object for the result of the
// transformation, and set its node to be the result
Document
DOMResult drResult = new DOMResult(docResult);
Document foOutDoc = null;
// Create the Transformer that takes the XML DOM and
converts it
// into XML in memory
TransformerFactory transfact =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer =
transfact.newTransformer(xslSource);
// We need a DOMSource to pass into the transformer
DOMSource dsSource = new DOMSource(xmlDoc);
// if the transformer failed in it's creation don't create
the new
// FO Document
if (transformer != null)
{
transformer.transform(dsSource, drResult);
foOutDoc = (Document) drResult.getNode();
//System.err.println(output: + output);
} else
{
System.err.println(No Transformer);
}
//Serialize DOM So we can print it out if we need to
OutputFormat format = new OutputFormat(foOutDoc);
// Now convert the Serialized DOM to a XMLSerializer object
// which has a toString() method
StringWriter stringOut = new StringWriter();
XMLSerializer serial = new XMLSerializer(stringOut, format);
serial.serialize(foOutDoc);
// debug statement to print out the FOXSL file
//System.err.println(foOutDoc: );
//System.err.println(stringOut.toString());
// if the transformer didn't create fo Document
// throw and exception
if (foOutDoc == null)
{
throw new ServletException(foOutDoc is null);
}
// Create the FOP Driver and set the Logger(required), then
// set the Renderer to the output we want which is a pdf
// then set the Output stream that is the
ByteArrayOutputStream
// we setup earlier in this method
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setLogger(log);
driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
driver.setOutputStream(out);
// This is where the FOP creates the PDF
driver.render(foOutDoc);
// Now convert it to a byte array and
// set it as the output stream to the servlet
byte[] content = out.toByteArray();
response.setContentLength(content.length);
response.getOutputStream().write(content);
response.getOutputStream().flush();
} catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new ServletException(ex);
}
}
