Thanks for it. I referred to your artical. But, I am still facing problems. Bascially, my problem is related to building FOP with Japanese support (MSGothic) fonts. As per my previous mail, I generated font metrics file. But in that so many parameters are missing. For example class-name, embedFileName, embedResourceFile etc.. This thing I came to know when I looked into the MSGothic.java file. Apart from this, there are other parameters (actually variables in MSGothic.java file) like lastChar, firstChar are also not initialized. So, it is basically problem of generated wrong .java file (i.e. MSGothic.java). I don't know from where will I get resource file and values for these parameters. So, if you can guide me then I will be very thankful to you. I hope you can understand my problem. thanks, Sanket.

: fo:table
Hi, Let me try to put my question again clearly!. Please see the attached image, thats the layout I'm trying to create in FOP. Now this can be done in two ways 1.By creating a single table with 5 rows, then each ROW will a contain a table of 3 to 5 columns in its own. 2.By creating 5 seperate tables. Each table will have 1 row with 3 to 5 columns in its own. Which is best option in terms of speed, because I'm using the first option and its very slow. I'm asking this question , because in a HTML browsers, a HTML table will be displayed only if the complete table is loaded into the browser buffer. I would like to how this is done in FOP ?

Re: arial font
To my knowledge you don't need any special font for the french character, just try to find the equivalent unicode for the french characters like é à .. from the http://www.unicode.org and the replace these character with their unicode. The another trick is using Editor which supports unicode(XMLSPY does) as your XML editor, in this can you don't need to replace the french characters with unicode representation.

Since this is a one-off job,I converted my large XML data to HTML,then I converted HTML to PDF using Adobe distiller.So the task is done,but I'm half baked now with my XSLT code. Thanks a lot for replying me at right time. Regards Balaji --- Cyril Rognon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok I'll try to answer both part 1 and 2 here : as for the JVM memory parameter with servlet engines : Your servlet engine is executed in a JVM that must allow you to set memory parameters. I don't know about every ServletEngine or ApplicationServers but you can do this with Tomcat or Websphere so I guess it exists everywhere. As for multiple page sequences, it is simply a fact that the current FOP implementation seems to keep a whole page sequence in memory before it writes it down. So the biggest bage sequence you have, the more heap size you need. Therefore it can be helpfull to create separate page sequence anytime you can. In your case, it is the worst situation : one long table. You have to start and stop the table each time you want to change page-sequence. Some guy on the list had the same situation to deal with. He manage to have an average number of x row per pages. Then he twisted his XSLT stylesheet to take x rowData (detail element in your case) to build one page sequence containing one table with the x rows and so on. He has ended with a 97 page-sequence document. This may be a little extreme but it works. The archive pointer I gave you does this trick. In many case, you have to deal with many tables wich are not always 100 pages long then you can place page-sequences every time you know you can have a page break. I hope this helps.

These are typical boilerplate forms, but are customized by having the client information printed in it. From what I gather from reading the various literature it sounds like the following steps need to be performed: 1. create a boilerplate XML file (non-FO) that has all of the static text. 2. at runtime modify this XML file to insert the custom text (e.g., client name) 3. transform the XML file to XSL-FO 4. send the resultant XSL-FO file to FOP Is this correct, or am I taking the scenic route here? Pointers to examples would be most appreciated. Everything I've seen so far has been purely static text. That's the basic idea. The static text can go into the form stylesheet (.xsl file) or the xml depending how often you will update it. Dynamic stuff should all be put into the xml. FOP can transform directly from xml/xsl if you like, skipping the FO step. Look in: docs\examples\markers for a basic xml/xsl example, but in the .xsl you may need to change: fo:page-sequence-master master-name ... to fo:page-sequence-master master-reference ... for it to work.

Another step-by-step Multiple Language/font support.
Hi,
This thread may be reduntant,but I felt may be
useful for newbies..
This thread will give you some tips on supporting
multiple language/fonts.
1.Create a Language resource XML. Lang.xml
example
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
Lang
en
textHello World! Cooperate/text
fontnameCourier/fontname
/en
fr
textHallo Welt!coopére/text
fontnameFrenchTTF/fontname
/fr
jp/
ch/
/Lang
2.Locate font.
For english u don't need to find extra fonts unless
u need more style.
For other languages,u need to find either a truetype
or type1 font
For example for Arabic u can use the truetype
(Iqraa.ttf)font downloadble at
http://www7.bev.net/civic/icb/ICB_Arabic.html
Store this in your system say at C:\myfonts\ or
somewhere.
Note:You have to explicitly tell to FOP to use
particular font for rendering other language
datas,otherwise a ? mark appear.
3.Now read the document at docs\html-docs\fonts.html
in your FOP installation carefully.
This document will tell how to add,embedd a new true
type font.
For example:
a.java org.apache.fop.fonts.apps.TTFReader
C:\myfonts\Iqraa.ttf Iqraa.xml
b.Change your userconfig.xml file
font metrics-file=Iqraa.xml kerning=yes
embed-file=C:\myfonts\Iqraa.ttf
font-triplet name=Iqraa style=normal
weight=normal
/font
c.run fop with option -c
4.Now In ur XSL file,try to import particular language
data and store it in a XSL variable
For example the below code will store the fr\text
data in a variable called message.
xsl:variable name=message
select=document('Lang.xml')/Lang/fr/text/
xsl:variable name=font
select=document('Lang.xml')/Lang/fr/fontname/
5.Now use this in fo:block
like this fo:block
font-family={$font}xsl:value-of
select=$message//fo:block
Thats it.
1.With some xsl tricks u can make everything dynamic
without hardcoding any part.
for example arabic font starts at rightend can be
made dynamic by supplying some tags in Lang.xml
Now the question is UNICODE.Use XMLSPY to edit ur
Lang.xml,for example for japanese version of
Hello world go to http://www.babylon.com/ copy and
paste the japanese word into ur Lang.xml,
XMLSPY will take care of encoding.Sorry for this temp
solution,just to avoid finding each and every unicode
eqvt of other language literals.Any drawbacks?
Please comment if i have made some mistake or hard
code.

Its better to go for two xsl than doing this. --- Mark Jiang [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, We have a xml file and a xsl style sheet to render HTML. We would like to take the same xml file to render PS file. Is it possible to use one XSL-FO style sheet to render HTML and PS file? If the style sheet needs to be changed, can we only change one style sheet to output HTML and PS file? Thanks, Mark http://briefcase.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

Re: AW: Open and print pdf files
Apart From Chaumette Patrick idea,have you tried the FOPPrintServlet.java example from FOP,it works good for me.I tested only in Windows Envt.Of course it depends whether u use Servlet/JSP. Regards Balaji --- Chaumette, Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Franck, on WinNT you can directly send PostScript to a printer with something like this: byte[] psByteArray = ... produced from FOP, a PostScript byte Array File printerFile = new File(ntservername\\printername); FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(file); os.write(psByteArray); os.close(); Actually we are currently exactly doing this. Your printer has to be PostScript capable. On Unix maybe one has just to open the printer queue, don't know. PDF Printing directly to a printer works only if the printer knows how to interpret pdf (sure an expensive printer, don't know which supports this currently) or you will have to convert PDF to PostScript with some tool.

Does anyone know of a platform independent way to open a pdf file. So far the only way i have found is platform dependent ( for NT : Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd /c start +txtPdf.getText()); ). I was thinking that if java provided a way to display an active http link it would be easy to open a pdf file via the default web browser. What do you think? Does anyone know how to send either ps or pdf directly to the printer (or via a print dialog)? Thank you for your help Franck http://briefcase.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!

HTM Sevlet
Hi, I tried FopServlet example and its works fine for PDF. Is it possible to do the same for HTML that is http://servername/servlet/FopServlet?xml=data.xmlxsl=format.xsldummy=test.html ,I tried to change the code of FopServlet like .. response.setContentType(text/html); Driver driver = new Driver(foFile, out); driver.setLogger(log); driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_TXT); ... But I'm getting unknown formaating object HTML as error. Have any one tried it? Basically I want to convert XML to PDF or HTML using servlets.Do I have to write my own code,or is there out something.

Thanks for your reply,I never tried Cocoon,will try it.

Cocoon is a general purpose web application (ie servlet :-) which uses Apache XML and XSL technology including FOP to generate html or PDF on demand from XML source.

Re: step-by-step instructions how to print Chinese in PDF?

You are supposed to try a *bit* harder. The Unicode
consortium
http://www.unicode.org
is responsible for allocating character codes. The
have a sort
of character names index online
http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html
You'll have to search this, or by The Unicode Book
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201616335/
and look up character codes which you need. I don't
speak chinese,
nor do I have any chinese fonts on my computer, I
can't help you
any further on this particular problem.
Once you know which Unicode codepoints you are going
to use,
locate a font. Look into you Windows Font directory,
or, better,
use the character table utility. The character table
utility
will tell you for the selected fonts whether it is a
unicode
font, and if so, you can pick a character and get
the Unicode
code point.
After you've located a font, check with the font
directory to get
the windows file name. It should be a TrueType font
file ending
in .ttf.
Follow the instructions in docs/html-docs/fonts.html
to generate
a font metrics file and register the font with FOP.
You'll have
to do this yourself.
Prepare a FO document with some characters you think
should be
chinese script, and run it through FOP. It is
possible that you
are required to explicitely select the font with the
proper glyphs.
If you see sharp signs ('#') where you expect the
chinese script
to be this means you've screwed up somewhere.

import/include
Hi, Ofcourse this is a XSL question.Does using import/include increases the processing speed. I'm using Xalan and Fop. I tried importing a xsl with 43 variables instead of declaring them inside the main xsl.I didn't see any processing speed difference,I used my stop watch :-) to chk it.

Best coding practice.
Hi, Is there is any best practice for coding the XSL:FO, that is always 1. use xsl:template 2. check whether the element exist or not even for mandatory elements. My xsl is of 578 lines,Suddenly i felt that my code is not object oriented beacuse no where i have used xsl:template. I construct the PDF line after line.Does this affect the processing speed. Does using xsl:template increases the processing speed. Please comment. Regards Balaji http://messenger.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Messenger - A great way to communicate long-distance for FREE!

Printing Problem,
Hi, Please look at the below program and especially margin settings of body and table. If I print this out in HP printer,Lexmark printer and if I measure the paper output with a Millimeter scale or ruler.The margins all sides seems to vary by plus or minus 2-6 mm with HP printer and Lexmark.Even if I compare my printer output with the original paper document in SUNLIGHT,its varying. If this is the case how can we assure that we can produce the exact Paper document with PDF using XSL:fo which is printer portable. ?? Is PDF is printer portable ? Please advice me where i'm going wrong.
