fo:table-row bordersyup! row-border support isn't implemented. either
use the cell-border or the table-border itself...

( dunno for sure, but might have to do with support for cells

  Subject: fo:table-row borders


  Hi, 

  mot sure if this has been asked before: 

  I am trying to set borders on a table row. 
  According to the sample border.fo this should look like this: 

  --snip 

  --snip 

  However, this specific border does not show up in a PDF document
generated with 0.20.5rc3a. 

  This has been supported with Verion 0.17.x which I am currently
upgrading from. Has the support for row level borders been removed on
purpose or am I doing something wrong? Column and cell level borders
seem to work fine.



  Thanks, 
  Stefan

  Thanks for that - it looks like the PDF decryption can only be

 Does anyone have
  any direct experience with these tools ?

I have used their Excel pw recovery a few times. Since you do not
actually 'obtain' the password, but only a working alternative, it's
hard to say whether the original passwords' simplicity was the cause
of this pretty tool to be able to do the trick in less than a second
( Athlon XP+ 1500 ) ... although very likely.

Problem with the standards is that someone always comes up with a
possibility of reversing the process somehow - in fact this
possibility is already there from the beginning, it's just a matter
of optimizing the code to perform the extraction based upon the given
hash and algorithm, possessing the knowledge to do so, and, of
course, computing power.
Fact remains that if some particular piece of information would need
to be protected 'at all costs', it would probably also be worth the
effort to design an algorithm yourself... ( or as it happens, a
combination of the existing algorithms a la carte )

[ That's why I was playing with the idea of adding a PDF-object with
a customizable signature ( - as a binary content stream? ) on top of
the 
existing standard, but problem is that you would also need to draw
heavily 
on the Acrobat SDK to ensure that you have a way of editing / saving
the PDF 
without that supplemental sig being removed as an 'unused' object. -
thx for 
pointing that out, jerry ;-) saved me hours of work ... ]

Guess it all comes down to relying upon the standard Acrobat
encryption to be 
enough to 'scare off' most people that might be interested in what
the file contains, but if they really persist and possess the
required skills and tools, 
they will eventually get to it anyway. Keeping the pw long  obscure
will make a difference of minutes, maybe only seconds...

 
 No direct experience, but I don't think elcomsoft uses brute force
 but rather a design flaw, which isn't fixed even in the most recent
 PDF spec. That's why they can crack 128bit encrypted PDF.
 
 A long and obscure password, preferably containing unusual
 characters, helps only against dictionary attacks. The password
 isn't used directly but a 40bit respective 128bit hash of it
 instead. Brute force works nicely against 40bit encryption,
 regardless of the original password. It wont recover the original
 password though.
 
Me neither for the PDF pw 'recovery', but their tool for MSOffice /
Excel does indeed not actually 'recover' the pw. It simply offers you
a string that does the trick.

 Hmm, looks like a bug. I'm sure Jörg knows all about it and I
 didn't pay attention again. :-) Funny thing is that the gap between
 table-header and table-body is exactly the width of the
 border-top-width. Change that value and you change the gap.

 Work-around:
 - Remove the border-top-* on the table-header
 - Add these border-top attributes to table instead.

 I hope this helps.

 stymied. I found the following message and reply in the archive, 
 which describes my
 problem exactly, but no particular solution is offered.  Can 
 someone enlighten me?
 
 Problem: I downloaded the latest FOP binary download 
 (fop-0.20.5rc3a-bin.tar.tar) from the
 distribution site http://xml.apache.org/fop/download.htm. I dunno 
 what a tar file is, but
 WinZip seems to think it can handle it, so I gather its a 
 compressed distribution format.
 Winzip returns the error message Error reading header after 
 processing 0 entries.  Same
 result with Winzip current 8.5 release and also their beta 9.0.
 
 So how does one untar a tar?  Is there a preferred tool?  Or is 
 the file damaged?

  Sounds like your untar utility is confused. I remember that
  *very* old tars have incompatiblities with more modern tars, in
  particular GNU tar, which may result in this error message.
  Another possiblity is that it either missed uncompressing, or
  that uncompressing failed and the error message was dropped
  somehow.
  In either case, you can try with another toolset, or at least
  identify the toolset you are using.

What kind of signature/verification? A cryptographic signature inside
the PDF to authenticate the generator of the PDF? This is already
standardized
by Adobe.

PDF is designed to be extensible. Therefore it is perfectly valid to add
custom streams/objects to the PDF. But you must be prepared that a PDF
editor may drop the object if it saves the PDF again. And of course, you
need to provide a way to support your proprietary extension. Better
stick to standards.

On 22.06.2003 12:26:04 Andreas Delmelle wrote:

 is it possible to include an object in the pdf that

 and does this even make sense?

That hasn't changed as far as I know. Are you sure you got the
maintenance branch and not the redesign/trunk/HEAD?

 btw : switched to the latest version of the 'maintain' branch, but
 the way the custom config xml is processed seems to differ from the
 latest distribution version.
 
 any helpful hints on this one?

If u don't use custom fonts, code like in my earlier message should do the
trick.
( Create an options Hashmap  use driver.getRenderer().setOptions(...) ).

Only downside for the moment is that the producer info will get scrambled,
but as this is a
mere detail... The supplied restrictions are fully  correctly applied
though.

Hello all

I am already using FOP to create PDF documents in a servlet environment. I
would like to encrypt these documents. I can see on the website that there
are instructions to create encrypted documents using the command line tool -
how can I use the utilities in a servlet  ?

Thanks

Chris

's allright. no hurry.

another side-effect : on pressing the OK button
in the doc properties summary screen, you get the message
that 'this operation is not allowed' ( maybe caused by the 
fact that this screen is a restricted version of the
one in the full Acrobat Version  issues a command 
on pressing that button which is not allowed under 
the applied restrictions? )

also, i'm considering the option of creating an 
additional content-stream, that could contain a 
signature for verification. 
is it possible to include an object in the pdf that
would be left alone by other readers ( but could be 
used, perhaps as a form of FOP-specific verification )
and does this even make sense?


greetz,

Known problem. Encryption in the maintenance branch is not completely
finished. Dictionary strings don't get encrypted like they should. This
is fixed in the redesign, however. But that won't help you right now.
Either someone has to complete the encryption part or we have to switch
the the PDF library from the redesign.

Embedding FOP, PDF Encryption Custom fonts

Hash: SHA1

while embedding FOP using embedded TrueType  implementing PDF
encryption,
stumbled upon the following (Acrobat Reader 5.1) :

- - unable to extract embedded font ...

- - also the producer ( author / title / date - added myself)
properties in the PDFInfo
produce weird results

code :

driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
log.info( Renderer set... );
driver.getRenderer().setAuthor( author );
driver.getRenderer().setTitle( title );

opt = new java.util.HashMap();
opt.put( allowEditContent, FALSE );
opt.put( allowPrint, FALSE );
log.info( Options created... );
driver.getRenderer().setOptions(opt);

anyone encounter this problem yet?
