Try doing the same with the XML/XSLT/XSL:FO approach and I guarantee you that the total outcome will be much more both in lines and complexity. I think to generate PDF with iText is as easy as generating XML from Java. XSLT is just a complicated language. You seem to assume that everyone wants to generates PDF form a Java program, using XML/XSLFO only as intermediate steps. In this case, you would have a point. However, it is possible that 1. The primary source is already XML (file or database), or you get XML from a source you can't control (for example a web service). 2. Apart from PDF, you have to present the same information in another format, in particular (X)HTML, perhaps and/or WML, VoiceXML, SVG ... I have to note we also generate source code in various programming languages as well as DDL and initial databease input from our XML using XSLT. If one of the above is true for a project, XSLT+FO can save some work and ease maintenance. If you have both, it's a very strong case for using XSLT+FO, other approaches are getting unmaintainable quickly.

Re: table border problem, and block text-align problem...
it's probably thick when you vieuw it with adobe acrobat reader... when ya print it it will be the same size (normally) the font you need to make an metrics file (xml) look into docs there somewhere in subforlder will be a font.fo (read it) then you'll know what to do kind regards, Jochen Maes EDP departement Programmeur KBC-Securities Havenlaan 16 1080 Brussel Tel : 02/429.96.81 Fax : 02/429.17.48 E-mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** This message is for the named person's use only.

loading the config.xml in java for rendering ?
hi ! i uses the driver class to render an pdf like this: Driver driver = new Driver( new InputSource( FOPTest.fo ),new FileOutputStream( FOPTest.pdf ) ); driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF ); driver.run(); Now i need the Arial font and have specified it in the userconfig.xml file but java dosn't know that. on xml.apache.org the say not to forget to start fop like this (when using new fonts, to load the configuration file): -c conf/userconfig.xml how does this work in java ? something with calling the ConfigurationReader ? and somehow pass it to the driver ? greetings Nick Winger (Software-Developer) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: loading the config.xml in java for rendering ?
Nick:
We do something like this:
if (configFile != null) {
//blah file stuff here
String filename = configFile;
File userConfigFile = new File(filename);
Configuration.put(baseDir, file: + new File(.).getAbsolutePath
());
Options options = new Options(userConfigFile);
}
Options is in org.apache.fop.apps.

driver.setRenderer( Driver.RENDER_PDF );
driver.run();

but java dosn't know that.
on xml.apache.org the say not to forget to start fop like this (when using
new fonts, to load the configuration file):
-c conf/userconfig.xml
how does this work in java ?
something with calling the ConfigurationReader ?
and somehow pass it to the driver ?

Re: static table-footer height ?
Hi Nick, I have a little dirty workaround for this: -declare a page sequence that will contain your big (ie multipage) table. -put your table head in a static flow -put the real table content xsl-body flow Hope this helps.

AW: static table-footer height ?
i could do that... it would work with the footer too, but i tried it, and the region-body overlaps the region-after. i made the region-after extent=10cm and the region-body extent=15cm. but the region-body is bigger than 15cm, i don't know why... any suggestions how to get the region-body not to overlap the other regions ( in this case region-after) ? greetings nick -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: fred redf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Montag, 4.
