RE: Generating PDF on the fly using on the fly XML
Try looking into Cocoon...I use it to take data from a database, parse
it into an xml file, transform it using XSLT into an FO file and render
the resulting FO file as PDF on the fly...it handles
pictures/text/forms just fine. You can find it at
www.apache.org/Cocoon.
Hope this helps!

one method of using dynamically create xml content would be to use the
StringReader.
here some sample code:
StringReader input = new StringReader(xmlString);
try
{
FileReader inputxslt = new FileReader(new File(xslfile));
Transformer transformer =
TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(
new StreamSource(inputxslt));
driver.setOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(pdffile));
transformer.transform(new SAXSource(new InputSource(input)),
new SAXResult(driver.getContentHandler()));
}
catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe)
{
...
}
catch (TransformerException te)
{
...
}

Subject: Generating PDF on the fly using on the fly XML
Hi,
I used to create a servlet that can produce PDF by setting
its contentType.
1. Now, I wonder if I can use Apache FOP to take XML
stream that I created using JDOM to produce a PDF?
How?
2. Is it possible to produce a PDF that only contains JPEG
using XML stream? I am thinking about storing an image
stream in an XML document like this :
picture
the stream is here
/picture
3. What about producing mixed content (image and text) in
a PDF? I know I can use the external link/external file fo
element. But what if the image and text are all created on
the fly?
Thank you,

RE: differenct space needed for different letters?
Yes...you need to used a fixed width font (like Courier) as opposed to a proportional font (like Times New Roman). Proportional fonts base the distance between letters on the actual width of the letter (e.g. w is wider than i so it gets more space). Fixed width fonts assign the same width to all letters.

Hi, I have mutiple line of text in one block in the header for my page, I make each line the exactly same number of letters(same string length), then I found out that the actual space each line takes is not the same, some are longer and some are shorter, just like below. Is there any way to make each line appears to be the same 'actual length' ? start of line ccc c ccend of line dongjiang - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: why some talbe cells have thiner border?
I have noticed this too...it appears to be a matter of how the exact positioning of the borders is done. I created a form with several boxes on it and I had to play around with the xslt for quite a while before I got all of the box borders to coincide exactly on the printed form (we made the decision that this was more important than a perfect screen rendering).

Dtang, Does it print out this way or is it an artifact of the PDF display? I have noticed differences between the display and the print output in the past.

Re: Showing FO output
I think having the ability to view the FO source would be both very helpful for debugging and also great for learning what is going on.
