Re: Improving FOP Performance? -
this would also be my suggestion. at the moment we are also using fop as a command line script. when finishing the webapplication i will create a java servlet that runs under tomcat. first tests show a perfomance boost of 50%. mainly because the JVM must not be started every time, this overhead is being saved using tomcat and fop as java-servlet. hope to see a few more suggestions... markus -Jesiolowski, Dominik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Jesiolowski, Dominik [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 02/11/2005 07:13AM Subject: RE: [***SPAM***] - Improving FOP Performance? - Bayesian Filter d etected spam Hello, We are using FOP to convert to generate PDF Invoices for our Customers. We need to generate roughly around 25,000 Invoices Per Month and the Number would increase each Month. We generate PDF Docs from XML Input Files. We had Trial runs to check for Performance and Memory usage. Currently, We are just invoking FOP command directly from a Shell Script which would call the FOP Command repeatedly but making sure that not more than 2 (or sometimes 3) FOP Processes are running at any instant. So you are starting, and stopping JVM, each time you run fop. Consider writing java app that invokes fop processing in a loop.

problem using svg:font-face-uri when using fop-embedded servlet (was command line performance)
i have a working xsl.
in this xsl i am using
svg:font-face font-family=BoldSVG
svg:font-face-src
svg:font-face-uri xlink:href=/path/to/fonts.svg#BoldSVG
/svg:font-face-uri
/svg:font-face-src
/svg:font-face
this is working, when calling fop from command-line. the pdf is
generated and
svg:g fill=black stroke=none
font-size=48pt font-weight=normal font-family=BoldSVG
svg:text x=5mm y=55.5mmKiki/svg:text
in my pdf there is a svg-graphic with the word Kiki written in my font.
i just try to use fop in a servlet running under tomcat. there is a huge
difference in runtime (*). after reading the faq i should use
svg:font-face-uri xlink:href=url('/path/to/fonts.svg#BoldSVG')
the only problem is, that i get an error in catalina.out saying:
An I/O Error occured while processing the URI
'url(/path/to/fonts.svg#BoldSVG)' specified on the elment font-face-uri.

Fulltext search and true type fonts
Hello everybody, I've observed that the behavior of PDF documents rendered by FOP is a bit strange when it comes to fulltext search in the Adobe Acrobat Reader: With Adobe's default fonts such as Helvetica and PS fonts, fulltext search is supported, with TT fonts it's not. When you search for a keyword, you will get no hits though you might see the keyword right on the screen. On the other hand, the PDFs look very well even with TTF so there shouldn't be any problem with font embedding. I used FOP 0.20.5 on a win2k system and tried some standard Windows fonts such as Arial. Is this a known problem? Is there any workaround?

Thank you for sending the link to the archives.

RE: TXT Problems
Hello Susann, why do you use FOP at all? In my opinion it is much easier (and more convenient as well) to use the text output feature of your XSLT processor. This is so convenient that I've never tried text output via FOP at all. The advantage is that you will be able to control the whitespace in the output document, which seems to be your main problem. Plus you don't have to worry about FO syntax when it comes to writing your output stylesheets. Please note that you can do all the formatting such as indents, blank lines and capitalisation by means of standard XSLT tools such as xsl:text/ and translate(). I admit that this task gets a bit harder when it comes to tables, since you have to care for the column alignment yourself. But you can solve this problem easily at last for cells by counting the number of characters in one cell and adding the missing number of space characters. You can improve your results by specifing the column width as a parameter and trying different values for this. This should work alt least for tables without line breaks within the cells, which is obviously the case in the examples you added. Maybe this is a helpful idea for you.

RE: Status of MIF Output
I'm not quite sure whether the situation has changed so much since Frame 7.0. The old EDD concept is still in place, and everyone who has ever attempted to map an XML structure to a FrameMaker template knows how tedious a job this is. Even if you want to customise the default DocBook application to meet your own demands you'll get not that far within a reasonable amount of time! Thus, MIF output would be a nice thing to have, but I'm afraid I'm not the one to do that, at least not now (I agree with you, there are more urgent issues).

However, since Frame 7.0, all Frame users have the ability to directly manage the semantic XML document, so there is not much interest. Unless funding is provided along the way, I think it will be one of the last things to be addressed. Also, if a developer came along who wanted to work on it, we could provide some assistance.

Hi, glad to hear about the new FOP release. Something that I still miss (and maybe I'm not the only one) is support for properties like 'keep-with-next' or 'page-break-after=avoid'. When it comes to customer projects, lacking support for these properties is in most cases the knockout for FOP - users would not like to see a heading on the buttom of one page and the first paragraph on the top of the next page.

AW: Illegal 'retrieve-boundary' value error after upgrading to 0.20.5rc2

Problem with fo:marker and keep-with-next in tables
Hi *, We want to list some items on an invoice using a table. It is possible, that not all items fit into a single page. So we allow following pages, but then we have to print a carry over at the end and the beginning of each page. The computation is not the problem, we do this by adding appropriate attributes to the items' corresponding xml-elements. The carry over values then are placed into markers. Additionaly, always 3 items (= fo:table-rows) are set to keep together using keep-with-next=always. Doing so, retrieving the markers fails (first-starting and last-ending). FOP returns a marker NEAR the correct marker, sometimes even the correct one. This feature seams to be nondeterministic. Jochen Unger asked the same question a few weeks ago, but there were no answers in the mailing list. Is there a solution for this problem??? BTW, it seems that the markers' is_first / is_last attributes are set BEFORE the keep-xxx directives are processed.

keep-with-next not working in tables bigger than two pages
Hi all, according to the compliance document, keep-with-next is supported on table rows. The sample file keep.fo also demonstrates keep-with-previous working. But extending that sample in a way, that a table does not fit on two pages, the keep-directives do not work any more. Making separate tables fitting on max. two pages solves this problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround (NOT splitting tables)? Markus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, You have to consider the additional JARs used by FOP (Xalan, Avalon, ...). IMHO you get somewhat around 5 MB of JARs.

I am trying to create a pdf file from an xml file that is converted using fop.

Therefore at the start of each new section the page number should revert to one and then increment by one for each new page. At present the page numbers will keep incrementing from the initial value of one for each new page so they relate to the number of pages for the whole document.

TTFReader and different font styles
Hi all, I noticed a strange behaviour when using TTFReader to generate some font metrics files for a corporate font. The font is available in normal, italic, bold and italic+bold style. Since we run our application mainly on the Windows platform, I use the -enc ansi option in the commandline. TTFReader generates one XML-file for each font style based on the different TTF-files. That's absolutely correct. BUT when using these, AcrobatReader does use the *normal* style font for all possible styles. Manipulating the font metrics file solves the problem, by appending ,Bold resp ,Italic ... to the font's display name. Is there a way that TTFReader generates this appendix to the name? Or is the font file a little corrupt? Thanks in advance, Markus - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
AW: TTFReader and different font styles
Nope, the userconfig.xml is correct. For each font style there is a single entry, setting the correct triple.

AW: Viewing PDF without AcrobatReader or FOP??
Hi Oleg, when viewing PDFs with embedded fonts, you will see differences between the platform specific and the Java version of AcrobatReader. The Java-version does some ugly character spacing, embedded fonts are not displayed properly. That's really not a *good* thing. And the fact that it has not been updated since 1998 shows, that adobe is not interested in providing a real solution for java.

I've got a document working fairly well, but am having a difficult time doing a few things that I would have thought to be simple. 1. Cannot set the TOP MARGIN of a xsl-region-before. Setting it to anything is ignored and the data is always printed at the very top of the page. fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before margin-top=2cm margin-left=2cm margin-right=2cm 2.

Cannot set the height of a fo:leader to a small amount. The output is always preceeded by more white space than is desired. fo:block fo:leader leader-pattern=rule space-after.optimum=4pt space-before=0pt line-height=1pt/ /fo:block 4. Problem using keep-with-next across page and column breaks of multi-column pages.

Re: tabulator
It is probably a good idea to put it in table-cells, if simple block/inline structures dont do the trick. I guess you want the period always happen at the same "column", for achieving that I suggest splitting the figures in two table cells (two columns) with the border representing the seperator. but for "real" decimal padding according to the period, I dunno. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Moebius, Yvonne [EMAIL PROTECTED]An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED]Datum: Mittwoch, 12.

Re: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tools propose
Patrick, don't be silly ;-). In my opinion XML via XSL FO to PDF is _the_ missing link between databases and printable documents. Of course it's the transformation that matters, but without actual implementation like the FO namespace you don't get far. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Patrick Andries [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: Montag, 29.

Consider that once you data is in XML you can use that same data to produce PDF, HTML VoiceML (for you automated telephone system) or SVG graphical representation of the data by just changing the stylesheet using XSLT. No need to have multiple unsynced data sources for your different output requirements Isn't this the virtue of XSLT rather than XSL FO ?

Hi, can somebody provide the structure for a simple alternating page layout (odd/even)? My previous working example broke with 0.20.3, could be halfway fixed, but doesn't alternate anymore, because I am only able to reference simple-page-master's in page-sequence, and not page-sequence-master's, which do the alternating stuff, anymore. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Peter B.

problem with attribute: visibility
Hi, I´m trying to use the visibility-attribute but it doens´t work. I´m using fop 0.20.01. and all I get is the following: Warning: property - visibility is not implemented yet. Has it something to do with the Fop version I´m using? What I actually want to do is to create a blank line (fo:table-row)... Can anybody help? Thanks in advance Markus

AW: feature and limitation lists
Hi, I think these should be added as well for fop-0.20.3-2002-03-04: not implemented yet: fo:block visibility=hidden page-position=last But what about wrong implementations? Example: markers, or wrap-option=wrap This works fine, if spaces are existing. But it should wrap long lines with no spaces at the boundaries as well. It would make sense to add javadoc like comments to the dtd's or xsd's. You did not publish your small xslt yet?

April 2002 11:33 An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Betreff: RE: feature and limitation lists Here are some early results. All elements are listed, but only unimplemented attributes child elements are shown within the elements. Attributes values are not checked yet; additional comments regarding partial implementation are not there yet neither. Obviously it needs some clean-up, but I will probably not continue until 1-2 weeks from now (holidays :-). As Chuck wrote, it is not 100% correct. I noticed white-space- and linefeed-treatment are claimed implemented, though I thought they were not yet. Also, I think that fo:float is not implemented neither. But I didn't check, maybe it is in 0.20.3. This is just a proof of concept, so I don't care too much about accuracy just yet. I did it using Chuck's DTD, not schema: I wrote a small XSLT that walks through FO.dtd (converted to xsd) and checks if corresponding element/attribute exists in FOP.dtd (xsd). (Actually, this generates an XML file looking like a XSchema, which is then converted to HTML.) Chuck: a question about your xsd file: you grouped the attribute types into xs:simpleType elements. But are we sure that a given attribute is always implemented the same way in all elements that has it? Comments welcome. Benoit P.S.

A fop.dtd will answer all these question like: Feature XYZ is not working, is it a bug in my FO document or a missing FOP feature. Maybe workarounds can be mentioned in the fop.dtd, too. Since fo.dtd exists, it wouldn't be too much work to add these comments. Yes, I think this would be very helpful. But it has one drawback though. You realize only after implementing that s.th. doesn't work and expensive rework is necessary. Anyway the fop.dtd sounds like a very good start. When it gets running we can think of rearranging the collected information in addiditional documentation. What do you think? Best regards Markus Fries
New Problems runnig FOP
Hi Christian, your hint was good. I executed the fop.bat but I got two new problems now. I had to delete the Xalan.jar and xerces.jar from the classpath, so that the changes took effect, now I can´t use xalan and xerces anymore (at least not, if I want to use fop...), which is a minor problem but a little bit unnerving. If I want to start fop from command line, it now comes up with the error message: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/xml/sax/SAXException Shouldn´t this be handled by the xerces-1.2.3.jar? Can somebody help?...Please Markus
Problems running FOP
Hi, I have some difficulties running Fop and I´m trying to fix it for more than a day now. When I´m trying to start Fop from command line, it returns: Exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFound Error: org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/loggable I was able to fix some similar Exceptions by adding various jar-files to the classpath, in fact I added (almost?) every jar-file... from avalon-framework-4.1.1.jar to xerces-jar, but it won´t help. I´m using fop-version 0.20.3 and I have installed xalan (which runs perfectly...). Can somebody please help?
Antwort: Re: Problems running FOP
I´m using Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 6. And I´ve got the avalon-framework-4.1.1.jar in the classpath, which I added manually. I copied all jars to a directory and then added them all to the classpath (so I never really executed the fop.bat). Do you think this could cause the problems? Thanks Markus
