Summary: problem with fo:simple-page-master or fo:page-
sequence while creating PDF using FOP 0.20.5
Product: Fop
Version: 0.20.5
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows NT
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: page-master/layout
AssignedTo: fop-dev@xml.apache.org
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I am generating pdf using Xslt and Formatting Objects.
I am not getting any error but erlier it was showing the content with(0.20.4)
border after the fop version upgradation border got disappeared?
why it is happening? Is there any change in the fop regarding this?
I have upgraded the FOP version from 0.20.4 to 0.20.5 and I am using jars Jar-
Files fop_020_5.jar and batik_fop_020_5.jar instead of Jar-Files fop17.jar,
fop.jar, batik.jar
have a look at this used with 0.20.5 after upgradation

Re: Start Using FOP
There's lots of documentation on our website. Start here: http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html Also check our resources section which contains links to online tutorials and articles: http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html#documents-xslfo If you're getting stuck somewhere please send questions to the fop-user mailing list, not to this list which is dedicated to the development of FOP.

The dev list is really for discussing internal work on FOP. I believe your goal should be to create a servlet that serves Tiff images up. You can reference the Tiff images from an XSL-FO document using a HTTP URL, via the fo:external-graphic tag. FOP can then be called on the XSL-FO document to generate a PDF, and you can do this within another servlet if you need to. May I also suggest that you get yourself a good book on XSL-FO and learn the basics before attempting to implement a solution based on XSL-FO. snip/ Chris __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

urgent help needed using FOP
Hi,
I am currently working on a
project which convert binary data in tiff format into
PDF format. I refer to the example(FopServlet.java)
and always got error Error 500: Content is
not allowed in prolog. . I could not figure out what
the problem is. I was stuch by this. Please help me.
Here is the peice of codes. Would you please take a
look and give me a suggestion. I will greatly
appreciate it.
BTW, the binary data format from database which will
be displayed on the web is in tiff format, not a
formatting object. If it can be displayed directly on
the web in pdf format, it is not necessary to convert
it into pdf first.
thanks,
Jerry

It is not clear from your example whether your data is usable by
FOP.
FOP is designed to process XML files, specifically XSL-FO or
Formatting objects.
You state on your message and in comments that the binary data is
in a TIFF format. You move this data around, eventualy passing it
to the FOP Driver object. I don't think this is at all reasonable
as a TIFF object is definitely not going to be accepted by the SAX
parser used in FOP.
You need to read the FOP examples again.

Re: Using FOP / trying to embed FOP
Hi Kevin
This is probably a classpath problem (NoClassDefFoundError). You've got
to make sure that fop.jar (as well as batik and friends) are on your
classpath. Example:
java -cp fop.jar;batik.jar;other-jars... embed simple.fo testembed.pdf
Look at fop.bat as another example.
Don't try to compile FOP from the command line using javac. Use the Ant
build script instead and then use the generated fop.jar in your
application.
Another comment further down...
Please be so kind as to ask this sort of question on the fop-user
mailing list next time. Thanks and good luck!

How can I generate editable reports using FOP
Hi all, Does anybody know if can I generate a report to the browser using FOP and allow the user to edit this report? Thank you Gorka
Re: How can I generate editable reports using FOP
Gorka Echevarría wrote: Does anybody know if can I generate a report to the browser using FOP and allow the user to edit this report? It depends on what you mean with editable. You can edit any PDF file with certain tools. If you want to insert input fields into the result, this is something which FOP can't do, and which XSLFO is not exactly designed for. SOmeone published about an extension to FOP for inserting roughly raw PDF instructions into the result, which can be used to porduce input fields, but you should have read and understand the PDF spec in order to use this.

I have written a simple program to translate the XML data to PDF format when I run this program as a standalone application it works fine; it generates the appropriate PDF file.

Unable to generate PDF file from EJB using FOP
I have written a simple class which takes XML and XSL and translate it into PDF using FOP (this works fine when run it as a standalone application) but when I embed this program/logic in a stateless EJB it doesn't render the content to the output stream. I have checked out the class path also, I am using the same setEnv.bat file to set the environment for running both standalone program as well as weblogic application server.

Problem printing using FOP 0.20.3
Hello, I'm having a problem I can't figure out, hoping someone has done this before. I have a FOP program to do some printing from a Java. I created a Java Swing Applet that uses FOP to do the printing. I am using code out of FOP 0.20.3 distribution that is in org.apache.fop.apps. I used the same code in PrintStarter to do the printing. The printing works fine (the page looks as I would expect) but the really weird thing is that the output from the print is going to the manual feed on my printer instead of to the normal output bin. What this means is each time I print I have to walk over to the printer and manually feed in the pages to be printed...obviously not a good solution :) The same problem occurs when I use the fop.bat program to do the printing instead of my program. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Also I've tried doing this to multiple printers from multiple desktops. The strange thing is that the text I'm printing prints fine, just wants to go through the manual feed. If I use Java print from a problem that doesn't use the AWTRenderer then it goes to the correct feed.

Using Fop Within An Application
I am trying to use FOP within my application to process and display (in AWT mode) a FO I create by processing records from a database. I get to the point where I have a String object containing the FO but I can't seem to get FOP to display its AWT window. Could someone please pass along some source code that shows how to do this? I looked at the doc and the example is incomplete: Driver driver = new Driver(); driver.setRenderer(new org.apache.fop.render.awt.AWTRenderer(translator)); driver.render(parser, fileInputSource(args[0])); What is translator?

Our infrastructore guys were very perplexed when I told them that I am going to use FOP in my project, and, by the way, I need those five extra jars in the app server class path. I don't know how much avalon framework is integrated into FOP, but with respect to logkit - logging is a simple API, and since FOP already supports pluggable loggers, why not indeed make those loggers API driven, instead of logkit dependent? FOP did not support pluggable loggers properly. There needs to be some logging implementation and having our own, when there are others around, is not the best thing. The important things for logging are - handle threads - inversion of control I was able to use FOP without including jimi.jar, but batik is required even though I don't use SVG. Why is that? Can't it be decoupled somehow and only loaded when SVG is used? As I have said before, yes it can be decoupled. This will require the user agent to be implemented and a few other areas to be improved. The best way to get this done is to help out. There are a large number of things that need to be done and it seems a large number of people who want them done. Helping out is a good way to get these things done.

Re: Using FOP in Servlet
Joerg, I think the easiest way to do this is something like this (taken from the Fop task in org/apache/fop/tools/anttasks/Fop.java) Configuration.put(baseDir, SOMEURLSTRING); You may want to do the whole configuration initialization process anyway just to get things like compression and fonts. When running FOP from the command line, most of the configuration work happens in the Options class (org.apache.fop.apps), so you might want to look at that too.

Concurrency Problem with mutiple pages being generated when using fop
I am facing a similar problem to what was described in http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-devm=100015708206260w=2 and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-devm=100019510024180w=2 Except, in my case, fop starts producing too many pages because of the size of pictures being used, in addition to the table headers described in the above link. The above link explains this to be a problem in Cocoon's org.apache.cocoon.formatter.FO2PDFFormatter.format() method. I have looked at the Cocoon project pages and could not find a fix for this problem. I have tried getting all pics being used to be less than the size of 1/4 page and I still get the concurrency problem. Earlier, I was getting the dreaded OME exception, but that got fixed after applying a patch that we found on the FAQ's at http://www.owal.co.uk:8090 (which seems to be down for the last couple of days). I am using fop 0.18 with the memory patch and am running JDK1.2.2 with -ms128m -mx256m as the options. In the above links, it is mentioned that this problem of multiple pages being generated is not fixed even when using fop0.20, therefore I did'nt want to upgrade. I have tried increasing the memory option when starting the JVM but that does'nt make much difference either. I don't think the patch for the OME fixes the problem with too many pages being generated. Is there a patch available to fix that? Thanks.

RE: XHTML to PDF using FOP????
Hi, First, there is a weird d element in your last table. I'm no XHTML expert but it is not HTML AFAIK. Second, some of the tr are missing td elements. A tr needs a td (at least, in HTML it does) so my guess is that your XHTML is not valid HTML. Any xsl that converts valid HTML to say, fo will give errors or at least not the desired result..

Drawing lines in PDF using FOP
Hi all, I have the requirement to draw shapes/lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) based on x/y coordinates passed on to me. Is this possible? I checked the xslfoRef.pdf that comes with FOP and there was no indication that this is possible. I have also searched the net and came up with no references/examples. If someone has any ideas/examples, I would be grateful if you would pass them on to me. Ricardo Coutinho - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Memory leaks when using FOP 0.19.0 many times
Hi Arved, Regarding the same subject. I got the latest patch from Seshadariand it works great (with FOP 0.19)...however, the problem is every time when u run the driver (either from an application or a servlet) it writes to a temp/serilaized filethis makes the process single threaded...If one tries to run multiple threads at the same time it bombs the server. As a result, I am not able to use this stuff yet for my users. We will have to come up with some kind of solution for that.

RE: Printing PDF using FOP...
Actually the output goes to an output stream. Unfortunately sending the output stream is a little platform dependent. On Windows 2000 I just open an OutputStream to the desired printer. Under Unix I exec an lp command and get the output stream for that: proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(lp -d + output + -o -dp -); out = proc.getOutputStream(); Similar things can be done at the command line, but I do not remember the syntax off hand. For windows I think that specifying an URL for the printer works. I do not remember exactly how I got the command line to print directly under Unix - maybe specifying stdout for the file name and then piping the output to lp. I do not use the command line much. For my application FOP is invoked by a servlet.
