RE: Column / character width question

Why can't you use a 2 column table in that region? If the text is always the same, you should be able to format it in such a way so that it looks like it flows from one column to the other. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: Pdf document is closing if I close another existing pdf.
This issue has nothing to do with FOP. It's actually a bug with Acrobat Reader. If you watch your process list, you'll see one instance of AcroRd32.exe (Acrobat Reader), which is doing double-duty for displaying both PDFs. When you close the PDF outside of the browser, AcroRd32.exe dies, which blanks the PDF in the browser. AcroRd32.exe really shouldn't kill itself. We had the same problem with Microsoft Word (imagine that). That's what you call poor AddRef()ing from the company who wrote COM rules.

FOP Helvetica - is it really Arial?
Font Gurus, There's a debate raging in our company right now about the use of Arial and Helvetica in FOP produced PDF. After careful examination of both fonts, I can see absolutely no difference, even though Helvetica has minor but distinguishable differences from Arial. I'm using the information on this website to distinguish between the two fonts: http://www.ms-studio.com/articlesarialsid.html It appears to me that Helvetica is actually Arial in the PDF. Even when I have Acrobat Reader 5.0 list the fonts, it says Helvetica maps to ArialMT. So, my question is: is this a problem with FOP or Acrobat Reader? Is Helvetica something that Acrobat Reader renders or did FOP use Arial for the Helvetica font? I'm not exactly sure how fonts work in PDF, but I've read Helvetica comes standard with PDF. I find it strange that Helvetica is mapping to Arial though. I'd appreciate any background information you could give me on this subject! Actually, what it boils down to is this: why bloat the PDF with embedded Arial, when Helvetica is exactly the same font IMHO? Thanks, Scott

Re: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose
I just keep track of it myself. Declare a member variable of type int and
increment it everytime a request comes in and decrement it after the request
is serviced (in a finally{} block, watch out for exceptions messing up your
counter).
Make sure you synchronize access to it and it should work just fine.
private synchronized int addThreadCount(int add)
{
return (count += add);
}
... doGet(...)
{
int reportsRunning = addThreadCount(1);
if (reportsRunning MAX_THREADS)
{
// Sleep thread until ready
}
try
{
// generate report
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// handle exception
}

Adding Fonts - Must I use absolute paths in fopconfig.xml?
I've got my own servlet with FOP which reads a fopconfig.xml file that I deploy with the servlet. So far, so good. However, when I added fonts to fopconfig.xml, I had a bunch of problems until I hardcoded the path to the font under my servlet. Obviously, this is a problem because my servlet (supposedly) can be deployed anywhere and I need to use a relative path for the font files. I set the baseDir beforehand, but that doesn't seem to help. This works: font metrics-file=C:\tomcat\webapps\reportserver\Conf\arial.xml kerning=yes embed-file=C:\tomcat\webapps\reportserver\Conf\arial.ttf This doesn't: font metrics-file=Conf/arial.xml kerning=yes embed-file=Conf/arial.ttf Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose
The short answer is you can't expect a large number of users to ask for reports at the same time and not run into memory problems. Believe me, I've stress tested my report server and hit this wall quickly. However, if you write your server to only run X number of reports at once and queue any other requests until other reports are finished, you can avoid those problems and achieve a robust and stable FOP server. At that point, adding more servers can get you better scalability. So far, this has worked well for me. -Original Message- From: Carter, Will [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2002 5:29 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose This one has got me scared...

RE: Why is FO(P) a superior model than what most proprietary tool s propose
Each request comes into the servlet on a separate Java Thread. I keep track of the number of reports currently being generated and Thread.sleep(1000) the queued threads. Every second or so the threads wake up, check to see if they should run (next in line and # reports running MAX) otherwise they go back to sleep for another second.

Images in region-start
I'm trying to place an image (JPEG)on the left side of my page that runs the whole length of the page inside the xsl-region-start. But, for the life of me the best it will ever do is approx. 3/4 of the length of the page (8.5inx11in). I've tried everything, including resizing the image until I'm about to scream. It doesn't make any difference. Even if I stretch the image vertically, but not horizontally, it still is exactly the same height in the PDF! I've tried using the width attribute, but it doesn't seem to increase the height, no matter if I shrink or expand the width. The height attribute seems worthless. By placing the "space-before" attribute on the block enclosing the image, I can move the image up or down the page, but I can never get the image to fill the whole page. This is in FOP 0.30.3rc. Has anyone successfully ran an image along the whole left side of a page? What's the secret?? Thanks for any help! Scott
