Re: A SVG image to appear on every page in fo:region-body area
Hi Pascal: Many thanks. I tried to add a block-container with fo:instream-forein-object to take up the SVG directly embedded inside the body. However, in order to have the image appear on every page, I need to define it within a static content. But, xsl-region-body is appearing within fo:flow and I cannot put xsl-region-body both as a static content as well as fo:flow within fo:page-sequence. My requirement is to embed the image that appears on every page of the body span. Please throw some more light.

SVG Gradient in FO

RE: FOP 0.92 : OutOfMemoryError
Hi: Many thanks, Andreas. Some further questions. Possibly that's why, I see that memory is not being released to the same level since when the rendering was started. Is there any API that can force memory cleanup after the rendering is done - success or failure? I removed all forward references, and my page-sequence handles very few pages now, even then I face OutOfMemoryError, wondering what needs to be done to get it through with high volume of data. Now, I have no forward page-citations, no image, just a flat table with huge number of rows, but I split that to multiple page-sequences Here's the fo sample (I have cut it short to let you feel the usage, in case I am doing wrong)... Also, where from I can get the latest FOP jar (binary) replacing my fop-0.92b.jar which I use now.

FOP 0.92 : OutOfMemoryError
Hi:
I know it's a old issue and there are many postings in this regard. Still,
some more light is required, that led to this question.
We are using FOP 0.92 for converting a XSL:FO document to PDF/RTF etc. Since
there is a table with many rows with data coming from a huge db table, it is
causing OutOfMemoryError.
We split up the document with single fo:root but multiple page-sequences
with each page-sequence having a finite number of fo components, still we
come up with OutOfMemoryError, and also, after the OutOfMemoryError comes,
the amount of free memory does not move up to the level where the
transformation is started.
Our approach is in line of the documented standards:
i.e.
import org.apache.fop.apps.FopFactory;
import org.apache.fop.apps.Fop;
import org.apache.fop.apps.MimeConstants;
/*..*/
// Step 1: Construct a FopFactory
// (reuse if you plan to render multiple documents!)
FopFactory fopFactory = FopFactory.newInstance();
// Step 2: Set up output stream.
// Note: Using BufferedOutputStream for performance reasons (helpful with
FileOutputStreams).
OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new
File("C:/Temp/myfile.pdf")));
try {
// Step 3: Construct fop with desired output format
Fop fop = fopFactory.newFop(MimeConstants.MIME_PDF, out);
// Step 4: Setup JAXP using identity transformer
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); // identity
transformer
// Step 5: Setup input and output for XSLT transformation
// Setup input stream
Source src = new StreamSource(new File("C:/Temp/myfile.fo"));
// Resulting SAX events (the generated FO) must be piped through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
// Step 6: Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
transformer.transform(src, res);
} finally {
//Clean-up
out.close();
}
After we hit out.close, does it cleanup all used up resources or should we
do something extra to cleanup?
Also, is there any guideline that how many page-sequences a document can
have and also within one page-sequence how much (how do we know how much) so
as to handle large volume? I know it depends on the amount of free memory at
the time of spawning this transform request, but still, a guildeline would
help so that I can split into page-sequences accordingly.
Also, is it always true that a new page-sequence starts with a new page
break as well? Or can we continue in the same page just like a logical page
break kind of.
Please help.

Debasish Jana

You use different widths all over the place so it's no surprise the line don't end up in the right place. Once you use 3*184pt (=552pt) but then you use 550pt and 548pt in other places. You need to be aware that the borders on the start and end sides (left/right in lr-tb writing mode) are defined to lie outside the content rectangle [1] and that width properties usually specify the width of the content rectangle, not the allocation rectangle. Furthermore, there's no point in specifying width on a table-cell when the column widths are already specified through table-column elements. Finally, I'd have a closer eye to FOP's log output, i.e. add width properties to fo:table elements and fix those height properties all over the place. I'd work less with nested tables and more with cell spanning. That will also make your FO much more readable and it will be easier to deal with the borders.

FOP 0.92 : Table-header repeat across pages with a clue
Hi: I have a fo:table spanning across multiple pages. The fo:table-header is by default repeatable, so it appears in every page where the table is spanning through. However, I want the first table header (appearing on the first page) as normal header text, and with subsequent pages, where the table header is being repeated because of a logical page break, can I add a word, say "Continued.." with the header text. Basically, I am looking for a mechanism where the fo:table-header will show "Continued.." for second, third page for the table spanning through multiple pages, but not on the first page. Any clue?

RE: TTF and OTF fonts in FOP 0.92
Hi: Many thanks for your prompt reply. We have another observation. If we embed a TTF font while rendering PDF through FOP, and if don't embed the TTF font, there is a difference noticed. If the PDF reader takes up font from installed fonts (in case desired font is not embedded), the font looks better (and different) than the case when the font is embedded. Our question is whether during rendering embedding is causing this difference. What could be a workaround in case we want embedding of the desired font looking like exactly same when picked up from installed fonts (unembedded case).

Is this "smooth text" option an option in Acrobat Reader? If so, that's not a problem with FOP but rather with the combination of the font, your display and/or the graphics driver, and perhaps Acrobat Reader itself. > It seems somehow the smoothening of the characters in the specified font is > not happening properly. Well, I used to associate "smoothing" for fonts with "anti-aliasing". This is known to give bad results under for some fonts on mainstream computer displays and certain other circumstances. A font with "Condensed" in its name is a candidate for such a situation, for reasons given further down. The print-out should be ok, because printers generally have a much higher resolution than computer displays. > What could be the reason? Are we missing something in setting up the > configurations? I don't think there is anything FOP can do in this situation. If you want good results on a computer display, use a font which has a stroke width of at least one display pixel for mainstream displays (a 19" at 1280x1024 has ~84dpi) for common font sizes (12pt). The letters should mainly use exactly horizontal and vertical strokes. Thin, slightly slanted lines fare horrible if anti-aliasing is enabled. > Another question, is FOP 0.92 using SVG to render fonts in PDF? That's a strange question. Why do you ask this? And no, FOP doesn't render fonts in regular FO content at all; rather, the glyph definitions are embedded (for user fonts) into the PDF. Rendering is done by the PDF viewer, which usually delegates the job to the graphics system on the host machine. > Also, how do I incorporate OTF? OTF is an enhancement of the TTF format. You can try to handle it exactly like a TTF, i.e. generating a metrics file using TTFFile etc. If you get an error (likely), the answer is "no chance, pal". Note that not getting an error while generating a metrics file doesn't necessarily mean all is well. Some font editors are said to be able to downgrade OTF fonts to TTF automatically with reasonably good results, you might want to ask on an appropriate forum.

TTF and OTF fonts in FOP 0.92
Hi: While rendering fonts (TTF) from XSl-fo to PDF, the fonts are not shown as smooth as it should be. The font I am using is a TTF font named "Univers LT 57 Condensed". The corresponding entry in the FOP configuration file is as follows: After seeing it in Acrobat Reader, by making smooth text option off, the texts look much better. It seems somehow the smoothening of the characters in the specified font is not happening properly. What could be the reason? Are we missing something in setting up the configurations?

Betreff: RE: FOP 0.91 Beta - Previewer problem
Hi:
Thanks for your prompt answer. Can you please pass me a sample code to
invoke the renderer in an AWT window (JPanel or JFrame). Suppose I have a
XSL-FO document which I would like to render to say PDF using FOP renderer
and like to preview it? How can I do it?
Pls help.

Why do you set an OutputStream if the file is displayed on screen?

I'd look at the source code of PreviewDialog. It should contains
everything you need to use the preview panel in your own windows,
because that's just what this class does.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/trunk/src/java/org/apache/fo
p/render/awt/viewer/PreviewDialog.java
Since this is not the first time this question pops up, it would be good
if someone would write a short Wiki page on how to do that. Or maybe
even an example class we could include in our embedding examples.

One thing would probably be to instantiate the AWTRenderer yourself and
to pass it to FOP using FOUserAgent.setRendererOverride(). I'm sorry I
can't help more. I'm not so much into GUI programming lately so that I'm
not a big help without wasting many hours first.

FOP 0.91 Beta - Previewer problem
Hi:
We are using FOP 0.91 Beta for rendering XSL-FO documents to
PDF or RTF or other supported formats. To use the previewer, we are using the
following code snippet:
--
// file is the output file created earlier, and fo is the
input stream having XSL-FO source
FOP fop = new Fop(MimeConstants.MIME_FOP_AWT_PREVIEW);
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new
FileOutputStream(file));
fop.setOutputStream(out);
fop.getUserAgent().setOutputFile(file);
// Setup JAXP using identity transformer
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer(); //
identity transformer
// Setup input stream
Source src = "" StreamSource(fo);
try {
// Resulting SAX events (the generated FO) must be piped
through to FOP
Result res = new SAXResult(fop.getDefaultHandler());
// Start XSLT transformation and FOP processing
transformer.transform(src, res);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
}
--
While hooking up the previewer, we face the following problems.
(1) The
previewer is shown in a separate JFrame window, which shows the preview, but on
closing the entire application of ours (running in a separate JFrame) closes
and the application comes out. Is it an acceptable behavior? Or is there any
workaround?
(2) In case we
would like to fit the previewer window inside a JPanel, how can we do that, so
that we can control stopping or terminating the preview window whenever
required.
(3) Is there any
other way of using the AWT previewer or are we doing any mistake to use the
previewer elegantly?
An early reply would be sincerely appreciated.
Warm regards,
Debasish Jana
FOP 0.90 help for fo:instream-foreign-object
Hi: I was trying to use fop 0.90 alpha for PDF rendering from a XSL:FO document. But, I don't have any clue how to render fo:instream-foreign-object. Suppose, I would like to render a chart using own chart drawing algorithm and want to Hook up with the fop renderer as an extension to fo. Can you pass some pointer ro link with some code examples to do that? An early reply in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
