DataMatrix Barcode in PDFs with FOP
Hello FOP-Users, I need to include DataMatrix Codes in PDFs and I wonder if someone has experience with this. Do you know any libraries that provide this feature? Barcode4J only supports 1D-Barcodes, DataMatrix is a 2D-Barcode. Thanks, Alexander.

Re: DataMatrix Barcode in PDFs with FOP
There are several commercial tools out there (Google is your friend) which implement DataMatrix, but you'd have to integrate them into FOP yourself. http://idautomation.com/java/ is probably the first address for a commercial tool. DataMatrix is very high on the task list for Barcode4J but it is non-trivial to implement. I assume that I'll start the implementation later this year. I don't mind some additional motivation for that task, though. :-) On 21.10.2005 10:30:54 Alexander Schwartz wrote: Hello FOP-Users, I need to include DataMatrix Codes in PDFs and I wonder if someone has experience with this.

Problems with overlapping regions
Hello FOP List, i have a problem with overlapping regions. I have content of the region-body that overlapps content from region-after.

Re: Problems with overlapping regions
The only weird thing I can see here is the extent property on the second region-body. This property doesn't apply to region-body. BTW, it would be much more fun to reproduce your problem if you posted a complete FO file and stated the FOP version you are using. :-) On 21.10.2005 13:47:56 Timo Haberkern wrote: Hello FOP List, i have a problem with overlapping regions.

Hello
Helo there, I´m using fop under a linux-debian box. I´ve been trying to get the trunk version of fop, from here: http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/fop/ I´ve set up ant, and the last version of java sdk/jre. I´ve donwloaded the last two versions by now, which are: fop_20051021104642.tar.gz fop_20051021043611.tar.gz But when I build them up and try to use them, I get an error like this, more or less: No element mapping definition found for fox:outline I think (in my ignorance), this could be either because automatic-snapshots are not always working-products, or because I´m doing something wrong, although build-process seems to finish ok. Why I´m looking for a newer version than 0.20.5 is because I can use background-image, and some other properties seem to be already implemented, as seen here: http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html#fo-object-section Any comments are welcome.

Re: Problem with fox:outline in FOP Trunk (was: Hello)
The snapshots are currently broken due to long path names. But that's not the problem you're experiencing. The problem is that fox:outline [1] is not implemented in FOP Trunk anymore. It has been superseded by the new bookmark elements from XSL-FO 1.1 [2]. I wonder if we should add fox:outline again for backwards compatibility. Hmm. A little request: Please put a descriptive text in the subject line next time. Thanks.

Re: Problem with fox:outline in FOP Trunk (was: Hello)
Hello again, Sorry about that, and thanks very much to both of you for your replies. I din´t say I´m using dockbook, together with xlstproc and fop. I´m just a newbie with all of this, but after your replies, I´ve managed to correct docbook-xsl sources to handle properly fo:bookmark-tree and it´s descendants. Now I´m getting another error wich has got something to do fo:static content asking for one or more block entries. I mean, what to do If I´d like to use fop´s latest snapshot + docbook as a tool-chain? Anywhere form where to get info about this specific issue? Also, Jeremias said the actual snapshot is broken due to long path names in this case, where can I find info on whether the actual snapshot is actually broken or not (and where), so I sync of all this and handle it and work always with latest versions?

There's no direct info that they are broken, but we removed the links to the snapshots. We will reenable the link when the snapshot production is fixed.

The redesigned FOP is much more strict about the interpretation of the specification. The reason why XSL is strict about this is to guard against XSLT errors--i.e., a erroneously un-activated XSLT template causing your fo:static-content element to be empty on (say) page 240, and you not knowing that because your XSL processor silently kept running (or just giving a warning message among several screens of other output.) By halting, it allows you to go back and fix the template error instead of submitting an erroneously built document to someone else.

Image - Scale Width/Height
Can someone have a box (eg: table cell) set to a specific height and width and say to have an image scale to the size of that box?? If images are taller than the height, then scale by height. But if images are wider than the widths, then scale by width. But if both height and width are higher, then scale it such that the image fits in the box but still maintains its aspect ratio. Thank you. Prakas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Prakash R wrote: Can someone have a “box” (eg: table cell) set to a specific height and width and say to have an image scale to the size of that box?? In principle, yes. Unfortunately, FOP 0.20.5 doesn't implement height properly, which may lead to an increased height of the table row.
