Problem wth output AFP size using FOP

[Venkatasainath Darapu]

Hi,

I am trying to create a AFP file by embedding a tiff image in FO and then
converting it into AFP using apache FOP. The tiff image size is just 10 kb
but the output AFP file is 4 MB. I tried with different types of tiff
images, some of the output image file sizes is around 500 kb whereas
remaining give output file size as 4-5 MB.

I found in one forum that in the configuration we need to set the option
'native=true'. I have tried with this as well. The tiff images used in above
scenario's did not different in dimentions and i used the CCITT 6
compression for these images.

can someone please explain me as to why this could be happening and suggest
some solution for this?

Thanks in advance

Creating PDFs with fields using FOP

[mithunk]

Hi,
Can we create PDFs that have form fields (similar to Acroforms) using FOP?

The reason why I am looking for this is: I need to create PDFs and send to
another program which stamps user signature on to the PDF that sent. So the
other program is taking pdf file and signature field (either coordinates or
field name) as input parameters. I am able to generate PDFs but not able to
identify position of the signature field, and neither I am able to find any
way of creating tagged pdf (pdf with fields).
Please share your idea on how can I achieve my requirement.

Thanks,
Mithun Kulkarni

Re: AW: AW: Identifying absolute position of a FO:Block

[mithunk]

Hi,

I tried creating AreaTree for my XSL-FO. And as you suggested added bpda of
all the block elements in the area tree (untill my block is hit). But the y
position that I get after adding all these is wrong. I want to calculate the
absolute position of this block (x and y coordinates). Please help, as I
need to finish this POC in another day.
Please also mention if it not possible in FOP.

Thanks,
Mithun

We preprocess the images with ImageMagick and put the preprocessed

hi Georg,

Thanks for your answer. My question wasn't very precise, sorry. I 
would like to be able to convert the images referenced in the FO file 
whatever the attributes. For example, if I have a PNG file referenced 
in an fo:external-graphic element, I would like to convert the image 
into JPEG format with a quality of 40% and limit the dimensions to 
400x400. This is mostly to provide control on the size of the 
resulting PDF without having to change the FO file or the referenced 
images.


Thanks a lot.

thanks a lot for your answer. I read the articles, and as I understood, my
problem can't be solved on a "clean" way. Because Indesign is using
"leading" or "line-spacing", which is the vertical space only above the
line-box, and XSL-FO doesn't offer that at all (boxes around text never ever
take space just in one direction), I unfortunately need to hack it by using
line-height and move the block with the text up, because line-height creates
space above every row, but Indesign excludes the first row from
line-spacing.

I saw the only "if" possibility by using "text-depth", but FOP and maybe
even no other formatter at all is supporting that *yeah* :-/

Frangoo

AW: AW: Identifying absolute position of a FO:Block

[Georg Datterl]

Hi,

First: I had a look at IF, but AT is better suited for the task, IMHO.

Now for some details:

Here's a simple fo file with a named block:


http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>









testtext 






Here's the area tree for this fo (fop test.fo -at test.xml):























testtext




















Now look for the block element with attribute prod-id="block-to-find". That's 
your target block. As Craig said, if the block spans more pages, there may be 
more than one block with this attribute.

Now you can get the width of the block (attribute ipd) and the height 
(attribute bpd). Use ipda and bpda if you need the padding, too. Also see 
http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/AreaTreeXMLDocumentation or search this 
mailing list for "area tree".
For the block's position in the page, add the height of all previous blocks in 
the page.

Regards,

Georg Datterl

METHOD 1:

Use fop to produce the intermediate "area tree" output from your XSL-FO.
See the documentation for details on that.

Once you have the area tree, use xpath to find the block. IIRC the id
will be in the 'prod-id' attribute of the block(s) generated. If it's
broken across a page, column, etc there may be more than one element
generated.

Once you've found the element(s) you should be able to work out the
position from the positioning attributes them and their parent elements.

It's possible that the new intermediate format ("IF") is better than the
area tree for this, but I haven't worked with it much so all I can
suggest is generating it, looking at it, and seeing if it's useful. I
have the feeling the new IF doesn't include element IDs, but I may be
misremembering.
