m I tried to launch FOP.bat but it appear and immediately disappear but I don't Know why. Try using command shell (e.g. cmd.exe). Then change directory to the place You have the .bat and start it.

AW: FOP is fun, even images brighten up?
Hi everybody, Some more information on this problem: I have a png image, which I place in a pdf. Without doing anything else, the image in the pdf is much brighter than the original image. Further information: An example image was generated with profile Dot Gain 15%. After placing it in a pdf with iText, Acrobat tells me, the image has a profile Dot Gain 15% and color management module Adobe CMM. Placing it in the pdf with fop, Acrobat tells me, the image has a profile KODAK Grayscale Conversion - Gamma 1.0 and color management module Kodak KCMS. Trying the same thing with a different image with a different profile, again, iText retains the profile, fop replaces it with KODAK Grayscale Conversion - Gamma 1.0. Now that I found out, what the problem is, can anybody give me a hint, where I can find more information regarding why fop replaces the profile and maybe even, how I can prevent that?

RE: Custom FOP Extension
Just wondering if a custom URI resolver would be a possible and most likely simple solution? So you would use a normal external graphics tag but a custom scheme in the URI. fo:external-graphic src=myscheme:. / You then set a custom JAXP URIREesolver on the FOP Factory (I think) which does the work your extension would do and provides image data as a stream. The image still would have to be in one of the formats fop recognizes natively though (JPEG, PNG, ...).

RTF doc. compilation failure
Hi folks, I have a document (in A5 format) that can be flawlessly compiled in PDF format, but fails in RTF. It seems that FOP cannot handle background images in fo:block elements when creating an RTF file. The following API in my print.xsl has caused this problem: xsl:param name=chap.label.path select=normalize-space(//bookinfo//imageda...@role='chap_label']/@fileref)/ xsl:attribute-set name=chap.label.properties ... xsl:attribute name=background-image xsl:call-template name=fo-external-image xsl:with-param name=filename select=$chap.label.path/ /xsl:call-template /xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=background-attachmentfixed/xsl:attribute xsl:attribute name=background-repeatno-repeat/xsl:attribute /xsl:attribute-set FOP fails to place the chapter number on top of a background icon. As I said, in PDF it works fine. When compiling RTF, I get the following error message: WARNING: Ignored deferred event for org.apache.fop.fo.flow.retrievemar...@be49e0[@id=null] May 27, 2009 4:11:44 PM org.apache.fop.render.rtf.RTFHandler startBlock SEVERE: startBlock: null May 27, 2009 4:11:44 PM org.apache.fop.cli.Main startFOP SEVERE: Exception java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.transformTo(InputHandler.java:217) at org.apache.fop.cli.InputHandler.renderTo(InputHandler.java:125) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.startFOP(Main.java:166) at org.apache.fop.cli.Main.main(Main.java:197) ...

xsl-fo java extension function
I've used the example code in the class ExampleXML2PDF from the FOP 0.95 distribution to see what fop can do. I'm trying to write a java extension function for the stylesheet and in the function return a org.w3c.dom.Node element. My problem is, i cannot find a easy way to construct such an object. My java function has the following signature: public static Node method(ExpressionContext e, Node n, more params) And i correctly recieve an ExpressionContext and Node of type org.apache.xpath.XPathContext$XPathExpressionContext and org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.DTMNodeProxy. The method n.getOwnerDocument().createElement(block); throws an exception since the owner document does not support any of the createX methods. I've written my own class the implements org.w3c.dom.Element and it works, but its a lot of code for something that ought to be supported by something in the extension. The reason for this madness is that i've made a java function which is able to calculate tab stops using the FOP event handlers FontInfo class (((org.apache.fop.fo.FOTreeBuilder) fop.getDefaultHandler()).getEventHandler()). Using the fontInfo class one can get access to the fontmetrics of the font used to render a given PDF document, thereby calculating the length of a word before a tabstop. My goal is to create som fo:block and fo:leader elements with the text where tabs stop has been replaced by fo:leader elements. If i just return the String fo:blocksome text/fo:block the output is escape. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/xsl-fo-java-extension-function-tp23745283p23745283.html Sent from the FOP - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscr...@xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-h...@xmlgraphics.apache.org

RE: Auto Table Column Width
Tobias, We have a similar need for auto table sizing, but we also have an additional need for table wrapping, so we simply had to come up with an alternative solution. Since the FO is generated from XSLT, we can pass the page width and margin values as parameters to the XSLT stylesheets that can be used to get the body width of the table. Then, we have a complicated algorithm that analyzes the text that will go into each cell and calculates its approximate width based on the number of chars in the largest string in that column. We use that value in combo with the body width to know how many columns will fit on the page and how wide each column needs to be. At this point in time the character metrics are stored in a lookup table for a controlled set of fonts and font sizes. Certain combinations of characters cause the metric approximation to get all haywire, though, so we're beginning to look at a way we can possibly use XSLT extension functions to have Java and its FontMetrics class better approximate the width and height of the strings. Overall, however, the algorithm doesn't change. From what I've read on the mailing lists before, yes, there is a patch somewhere in the Bugzilla queue that attempts to offer some auto table sizing algorithm but that it doesn't yet work for all cases and is an *extremely complicated* algorithm to complete.
