Printing PDF with background image
I wanted to print a PDF that contains a background image. The print process needs no user intervention. The example outlined in FopPrintServlet could not render the image, I'm guessing because of AWTRenderer?. Is there anyway I could do accomplish what I want? FYI. The same PDF with no background image prints without any problem. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Printing PDF with background image
Jeremias, Thanks for taking the interest. Ok I'm looking for a quick solution at this point without me going into the nitty gritty of implementing a method (crunch time :-( ). I've got the actual PDF's rendered somewhere on the server side and wanted to route it straight to a network printer. Please advise. Jeremias Maerki wrote: You're not printing PDFs if you use the AWTRenderer, strictly speaking. The formatted document is painted on a Graphics2D object. The problem you have, as you guessed, lies within AWTRenderer which does not implement drawImageClipped and drawImageScaled. If you implement these methods the background images will appear.

Using image as background
How do you go about using an image (say TIFF) and superimposing your text data in it? Is that even possible in FOP? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

LPI and CPI vs line-height and font-size
Are they ever the same in meaning? Because I based my presumption on it, otherwise my calculation based on having a similar effect will be wrong then. LPI: 8 = 1/8 in and CPI: 10 = 1/10 in. I verified the result by measuring the printed output on paper. It was printed on a Lexmark Optra S 1250 laser printer. It didn't come out exactly as I expect. I tried it on the following renderers: PDF, PCL, AWT. They all have the same result. I'm using version FOP 0.20.5. Here's a sample of my FO file: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master margin-right=0.5in margin-left=0.5in margin-bottom=0.0in margin-top=0.0in page-width=11in page-height=8.5in master-name=US Letter Landscape fo:region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence line-height=0.125in font-size=0.1in font-family=Courier master-reference=US Letter Landscape fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body fo:block /fo:block fo:block /fo:block fo:block JTRP006 - QPRINT Override w/ Printer File Page: 1/fo:block fo:block /fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block fo:block This will print LPI(8) amp; CPI(10)./fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

a dot matrix printer (Lexmark 2381+) the font size and line height is
totally wrong and its printed sideways.
You don't say which renderer you are using? As a guess I would say you
are trying to use Text Renderer, which has a very poor quality of output.
I am using the PrintRenderer. I find TXTRenderer don't preserve the
white space on my report which is critical for me for proper positioning
and alignment.
This report will be generated by a batch program. In most cases it
will be sent to the printer without user intervention. (this part I
have a handle by following the servlet example). Other reports will
have to use pre-printed forms. I would appreciate it if anybody
could respond to this problem and point out some best practice
concerning the use of dot matrix printer on FOP.
My old dot matrix used to support PCL. Have you tried generating PCL
output and sending that instead of plain Text? It may also be useful
if posted a snippet of the code you use to send the generated output
to the printer.
snip/
protected void render(Source src, Transformer transformer)
throws FOPException, TransformerException, PrinterException,
IOException {
PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
pj.setCopies(1);
pj.setPrintService(getPrintService());
PrintRenderer renderer = new PrintRenderer(pj);
//Setup FOP
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer(renderer);
//Setup output
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
driver.setOutputStream(out);
//Make sure the XSL transformation's result is piped through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler());
//Start the transformation and rendering process
transformer.transform(src, res);
out.close();

Correction I just realized that I am using an inner class that extends the AWTRenderer. So what I'm really using is AWTRenderer. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
