RE: Opacity in SVG graphics on PDF documents.
-Original Message- From: Koes, Derrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Ah, opacity is not a problem with jpegs.

Opacity in SVG graphics on PDF documents.
I know that opacity is a problem as evidenced known problem 6. http://xml.apache.org/fop/graphics.html#svg-problems However, does anyone know why? I attempted to work around this issue by converting the image first to png (tried tiff and jpeg too). The opacity is there with png, but any text is choppy, pixilated, especially when printing. Text is much better if I leave the svg graphic as it is, but of course, everything is opaque.

RE: Opacity in SVG graphics on PDF documents.
Hello Not sure why this is a problem. I use batik to create JPGs with transparency from SVG input. I then embed these with FOP. Have you tried rasterising your SVG separately ?

AW: URLs in external-graphics - corrupt PDF
This gets off topic for this list by some comfortable margin now. I agree, however it might be interesting for people to know that the problem is actually Jboss 2.4's WebService MBean (not tomcat) which does read mime type from a fixed file within the dist jboss.jar (org/jboss/web/mime.types) which does only contain two types: HTML and CLASS. http://www.thecortex.net/clover/eg/jboss/report/org/jboss/web/WebService .html On the other hand FOP could be smart enough to do its job without mime types at all ;) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The trouble with GIF images starts at GIFImag.java line 85, where the Java run time library is used: ImageProducer ip = (ImageProducer)this.m_href.getContent(); Apparently getContent() relies on the content type, which is actually the correct thing to do (if its available, the signature tests are for recognizing files). Web servers are expected to set the correct content type. Otherwise, we get uncoordinated behaviour, like IEx.

It is most certainly some sort of misconfiguration in your server. The exception is apparently thrown in GifImage.loadImage(): ImageProducer ip = (ImageProducer)this.m_href.getContent(); and somehow someone gets a sun HTTPConnection rather than the expected class. I don't have time right now to dig deeper, but it may be the getContent() doesn't return an ImageProducer. You can put some traces into the code to confirm this. Just as a guess, check the MIME type configured for the file (including case) in the server. Access the URL with a browser which doesn't second guess, like Mozilla, or use wget's raw dump.

1. Does FOP signal any errors related to the external graphic?

The URL is correct, a browser displays the .gif image. Well, it work with BMP images (however color images appear b/w) so it is probably a problem with FOP's GIF decoder (?). However FOP just can decode the GIF if I don't pass an URL but an file system path...weird. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Check your syntax against: http://xml.apache.org/fop/fo.html#external-resources I can't tell from your report whether you tested the same image on a local file system as you tried using the URL. If not, be sure to try that, to try to eliminate the possibility that the image itself is causing the problem. Also, be sure to turn on the -d option for debugging, and look in the log.

If I use an relative local file system path everything works just fine. Narrow down the problem: 1. Does FOP signal any errors related to the external graphic? 2. Can you see the image if you point a browser on the machine where FOP should run to the HTTP URL? 3. Can you download the image to a local file with wget (no cookies, referers, common user agents...), and is this the image you expect?? The most common causes for the sympoms you describe are spelling errrors in the URL and server setups which require certain context information from the browser. Some more context would have helped too: FOP release number, the URLs in question, the image format, whether you run FOP from the CLI or embedded... Psychic powers are still in limited supply.

Re: Graphics in pdf
I think Josh's suggestion is the right one. Here are some relevant pointers to the archive: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-devm=101100884011907w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=10044527565r=1w=2 I want to put an eps-graphic into a pdf-file.

Hello, I want to put an eps-graphic into a pdf-file. I havn't found how I could do this. But maybe there is another method to put a high resolution graphic which looks good in a pdf-printout into a pdf document. Thanks for your help Christine
