Re: PDF as external graphic
Hi,
below is a template that I use for merging existing pdfs with
generated content. The existing pdf needs to be set up in a way that the
body region has the same width and height as the generated body. Header
and Footer are part of the generated content (so page numbering etc.
works). You can even add markers to these custom pages, so they show
up in the TOC.
start snip
-
xsl:template name=insert-custom-page
xsl:param name=master-ref/xsl:param
xsl:param name=file-ref/xsl:param
xsl:param name=content/xsl:param
xsl:param name=custom-marker-text/xsl:param

We have also had a number of occasions to want to do
two things with external PDFs via FOP:
1): insert an external PDF page into an FOP generated
document (thus, we're merging a PDF and FOP doesn't
really do anything more with it)
2): embed a PDF page within a page in a PDF document
which means that only the body section of the page
is involved.
We have used some other tools to acheive task 1, but
the result is always a bit of a hack. Some tools
don't handle page numbers, etc. so there's a lack
of consistency in the overall document.
For item 2, the external PDF object becomes part
of the FOP page, just like an embedded SVG object.
Thanks,

PS it would be really great if I could embed the PDF
in a float object and put commentary on three side.

Hi,
I have a question about fo:external-graphic. What's the reason
(technical? licensing? lack of interest?) that FOP does not support
PDF as a graphic format? It seems strange that FOP supports PDF for
output but not for input.
The reason I ask is because I'm trying to embed some PDF
illustrations as figures in a PDF document via FOP. What is the
workaround for this? Will I just have to convert the PDFs to a format
that FOP supports?
Thanks,

area tree + custom attributes or elements
Hi, is there an (easy) way to add custom attributes to a FO document that would be preserved through the whole FOP process? The idea is to get feedback about on what page (and position) a certain block or other other content *would* come out in the output format (e.g. PDF): Let's say I've got a block that should always be displayed on the first half of the page. Now, when I generate, I'd have to search for this block in the area tree in order to determine it's position... but so far I don't know how to mark/identify such a block.

Re: area tree + custom attributes or elements
Hi Jeremias, thanks for the pointers! The bigger picture of such an use case would be to have a more interactive way of xsl fo generation. In automated publishing there's always the big question of to what extend the users needs to interact with/modify the output. Right now there's only black and white. Generate PDF directly or generate something that is editable (e.g. InDesign or Word etc.). Since Word is not my first choice (for anything) and InDesign is quite a complex beast, I'd find it most desirable to have a toolset that let's the user define the contents he/she wants to publish and get immediate feedback about the output- while still being able to change various things concerning output/layout. The intermediate format seems to be as close as you can get but the area tree xml would need to be transformed to more abstract information e.g. chapter XY starts on a left page (334). Then the user could decide to insert a blank page or custom page (maybe an advertisement) to push the chapter start on the next page and fill the empty space etc. I know a lot of this already possible by defining it in XSL-FO but not everything can be predefined... Regards, Max Jeremias Maerki schrieb: If prod-id in the area tree works for you (as suggested by Georg), that's fine. However, that doesn't give you the absolute position of the element on the page. You can calculate that position from the various attributes if you can figure it out. But that's quite tricky and undocumented. Usually, that's the renderers' job and encoded in their source code. So you'd be building half a renderer just for that. The new intermediate format [1] I'm working [2] on uses a system more like SVG (absolute coordinates plus nested transformation matrices) where it's pretty easy to calculate the absolute position on the page. But there's no support, yet, for identifying an element from the FO. We may add that later. At any rate, if you want to pass through custom attributes, that's pretty easy for most FO elements: Just specify your own attributes in a non-FO namespace. You may have to let FOP know about that namespace using FopFactory.ignoreNamespace(String). Alternatively, register an ElementMapping object with FOP. These extension attributes should make it to the area tree XML and to a certain degree also into the new intermediate format. Anyway, before you go down such a road, I'd re-verify that you can't implement that requirement using plain XSL-FO.

Page Layout - Spreads, Bleed etc.
Hi all, what is the current status of xsl-fo concerning a Spread-based Layout (like InDesign uses)? I need to change an existing layout to support blocks/graphics that bleed off the page.

Unless you have very specific needs such as PDF/A compatibility requirements, you need not, and in fact you should not embed neither Helvetica nor any other Base14 font (Times, Courier, Zapf Dingbats). These are supposed to be available in all environments where you can read PDF (even if this implies a font substitution). Did you have a look at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/0.95/fonts.html#Base-14+Fonts Thanks for the quick answer. I've read this paragraph. But when I send a PDF to the print shop they'll make a preflight and complain whatever font might not be embedded. I have no idea why this problem occurs - The font seems to be embedded but not properly. Any workarounds?

fop and cmyk: pdf-image vs svg
Hi, I just wanted to post some results from my various approaches to get vector based graphics into my fop workflow with cmyk colors: While FOP can handle CMYK color values defined in XSL-FO documents quite nicely, CMYK colors defined in SVG graphics will end up as RGB in the output PDF (so far, Batik seems to mess this up). As well, none of the tools (Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape) I tested, preserve the CMYK color definitions when I save the SVG file. So I'd have to post-process the files and correct this. So far, the better alternative seems to be to not use SVG but PDF and use the pdf-image extension, see http://www.jeremias-maerki.ch/development/fop/index.html to place the PDF images. With PDF you've got tool support for CMYK and the graphics remain vector graphics - no need to rasterize. And it is as easy as: fo:external-graphic src=foo.pdf#page=1/ @Jeremias: from your source code (Ver. 1.2, PDFBoxAdapter.java, line 223), it looks like you're reading out the MediaBox from the to-be-placed PDF?

Re: fop, svg and cmyk colors
Hi Peter, thanks for the information. I am kind of stuck at the moment because the only option I'd otherwise have is to rasterize the SVGs. The patch would be interesting - I guess the first thing to do would be to identify the packages (there probably are some...) where the color data will be processed. Regards, Max Peter Coppens schrieb: Maximilian, For what it is worth I originally started (I think) the cmyk/icc support that is currently in FOP (although I probably has been made more robust by others who are familiar with the fop code). At that time I also had a patch for Batik to support cmyk/icc colors. If I remember correctly it more or less worked (for pdf output), but I never got to submit it. It was a fairly clunky patch touching numerous source files and I was far from sure I had it covered completely. I guess I could delve it out from somewhere in case you are interested in updating it and taking it through the patch submission process.

Re: fop, svg and cmyk colors
Hi Jeremias, thanks for the fast response (wow, this seems to be quick-response-list...). Ok, so far this my conclusion: - FOP supports proprietary (and standards based: icc-rgb()) support for defining CMYK colors. Do both work for PDF output? - Batik only understands icc-color() - but can it handle it correctly? - If I'd post-process my SVGs and convert all color definitions to icc-color() it should (?) work Concerning your 4 points towards tool support etc: I'm dealing with some graphic professionals and when I ask something like What is this icc profile thing they only say it is not important because most print shops will ignore it anyway... So in the end, the standards based approach and defining profiles will ultimately fail to find its way on the printed paper... I guess if there was a general purpose color profile that one could use (if no specific profile was available) - this might help. Regards, Max Jeremias Maerki schrieb: Both SVG and XSL-FO are using sRGB color space by default. The color industry came up with the ICC standard for non-sRGB colors which is what the SVG and XSL working groups chose for non-RGB colors. Unfortunately, many people don't seem to understand how this works and many creation tools don't support it. That's why people keep falling back to (uncalibrated) CMYK. FOP's basic support for CMYK is basically a concession to that. It's a proprietary extension, too. AFAIK, Batik hasn't been confronted with this too much until now. It doesn't support uncalibrated CMYK at the moment, so at the moment you can't use the same approach in both XSL-FO and SVG. Best practice as recommended by the editors of the SVG and FO standards is: - Use ICC color profiles - in FO, use rgb-icc(num, num, num, name, num*) http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#expr-color-functions - in SVG, use color icc-color(name, num*) http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/painting.html#SpecifyingPaint But yeah, you probably don't have tool support for that. And you can't use EPS in PDF. Leaves you rasterizing SVG to CMYK bitmaps at the moment. :-( Of course, proprietary support for uncalibrated CMYK colors could be added to Batik and FOP's PDF transcoder in the same way it was added to XSL-FO support. But IMO it's the wrong way. Essentially, we need four things to make this work as it is supposed to: 1. SVG and XSL working groups should sit together and harmonize their color efforts. I've mentioned that to them before so they are aware. 2. People (software developers, content creators, print shop employees etc.) should learn about ICC colors. 3. SVG creation tools need to start supporting ICC colors. 4. FOP and Batik need to be reviewed if they handle the ICC colors correctly in every case. The functionality should be there but due to the lack of actual real-life projects this is probably not well tested. I'm available to help with improving color support in Batik and FOP. I think it's an important aspect of the two applications but there's still some way to go.
