Re: linebreak fop0.94
Isn't there another way? Like you suggested, I would have to write my fo stuff into a single line, otherwise there will be lots of additional linefeeds.

Problem with experimental PDF in PDF from trunk
Hi, I was delighted when I read about the experimental PDF-in-PDF support as we experience a bit of a performance problem with embedding SVG. But unfortunately, the embedded PDF is not visible. The border around it has the right dimensions, but the content is not there. The SVG/PDF which we embed is generated by ReportLab. I don't have access to a PDF validator, so I'm not really sure if ReportLab generates valid PDF output (I now that their SVG output is not always perfect, though) Here's an example: http://www.piquadrat.ch/pie.pdf The FO: http://www.piquadrat.ch/fop.xml, and the resulting PDF: http://www.piquadrat.ch/fo.pdf FOP is from a SVN checkout I made yesterday. I put fop-pdf-images-1.0.jar and PDFBox-0.7.4-dev.jar in lib/. When using the command line, no error messages are displayed.

Re: Automatic font detection and SVGs (or fonts and Courier New)
Hi, Problem solved... I found http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=13513575framed=y and saw that this has been fixed in the trunk...I moved to the trunk anyway now ;) I had to delete the font cache for it to work... great!

Re: linebreak fop0.94
Hi Andreas, thanks for your help. The empty-fo:block variant doesn't work my way. I already considered it but it does not only create a new line but also inserts an empty line. I rather want to make some kind of HTML br replacement: one br - newline, n brs in a row - n-1 empty lines. I will try your first suggestion - it sounds pretty good if the processor output can be manipulated that way.

I will try your first suggestion - it sounds pretty good if the processor output can be manipulated that way. Yep, it's definitely the way to go if what you need is what is described above. The issue with empty fo:blocks is also one of performance, BTW. They only generate additional overhead, while the layout-algorithm has a ball with preserved linefeeds. It might take some caution, though, since generally, unexpected linefeeds tend to pop up that survive the XSL transform. Be mindful about linefeeds coming in from XML source like: someNode someText /someNode The leading and trailing linefeeds will both be presented to FOP, and might thus cause mayhem if you use linefeed-treatment=preserve. In case you're not sure where the value of the input node comes from, use normalize-space() in the XSLT to strip those off. For all else, I certainly do hope that you do not need hyphenation in this case, because currently this combination leads to all sorts of strangeness, like duplicated pieces of paragraphs...

Re: Default font FOP and Adobe
I'm sorry Juanita, but we can probably spend the whole day documenting and someone might still find some little detail missing. Everyone can easily find out what font is used for any by looking at the fonts list in Acrobat Reader's Document Properties dialog. I'm going to add this missing piece to our documentation right now. BTW, any is not mapped to Times New Roman, but to Times Roman. I don't know if there's a difference between the two. Probably not, nowadays, since Adobe maps Times Roman to Times New Roman in recent versions of Acrobat Reader. They also map Helvetica to Arial and there definitely is a difference there.

Re: setting a pdf as the background of another pdf
This is certainly the right place to ask this question. It's not about XSL-FO in general, but about FOP. I suggest you look at the following Wiki page and go on from there: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/HowTo/EmbeddedPdf Caveat: The feature is still somewhat experimental. The other option is to simply create the form content with FOP and then use a PDF post-processor [1] to stamp the form and the content together. That's how it's been done up until now.
