Open and print pdf files

Hi all, Fop is cool but once i have successfully created my pdf file it would be nice to open and print it. Does anyone know of a platform independent way to open a pdf file. So far the only way i have found is platform dependent ( for NT : Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd /c start

AW: Problem with SVG only Black White

Thanx for your suggestions, we had some gradiants in the svg, which were displayed in just black. and it seems, that fop ignores the style given by the svg-tag. where there are attributes like fill-opacity color-interpolation color-rendering etc. and maybe these things make the svg look nice in

Re: protection

You can use iText after you have generated your PDF. It is a Java PDF API that allows you to manipulate pdf pages by pages and to control PDF document properties like encryption and viewing and printing... it's easy to use and only have a few limitation like some image type not handled. see

Apart From Chaumette Patrick idea,have you tried the FOPPrintServlet.java example from FOP,it works good for me.I tested only in Windows Envt.Of course it depends whether u use Servlet/JSP. Regards Balaji --- Chaumette, Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Franck, on WinNT you can

RE: foregroundColor

A note about using XML-SPY for fop development. I used it quite a bit lately and while I found it good, the DTD it uses for XSL:FO is far from complete and sometimes incorrect. That's not to say it isn't very useful, just be careful and have the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/) handy as

keep-with-next=always not honored on a group of table rows

I would like to keep together on a same page a group of table rows. I used keep-with-next=always and all except the last fo:table-row elements of the group, but for the attached XFO document (a course schedule), a page-break occurs in the middle of a group of 9 rows (16:15), between pages 2 and 3.

Examples

On the examples page of the xml.apache.org/fop site, http://xml.apache.org/fop/embedding.html there is this sample: Driver driver = new Driver(new InputSource (args[0]), new FileOutputStream(args[1])); driver.setRenderer(RENDER_PDF); driver.run(); I thought

Its not an error, its wrong java code RENDER_PDF is s static member variable of the Driver class, so you have to type: driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF); Cheers Mirko -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: Lee Goddard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 16. Mai 2002 16:39

Newbie: html-like table to fo-table

Hi folks, again we need your help: We are using FOP and XSLT for creating pdf documents which works fine - excepting tables! The dtd contains a table-tag like similar to html: [...] !ENTITY % alignes align (left | center | right) #IMPLIED valign (top | middle | bottom | baseline)

Re: Newbie: html-like table to fo-table

Who has experiences with fo:tables and xslt and could give us a hint? It took me a month to get something passable using Perl and XSL:FO, and I can't really it to you as I sold the copyright. But: there is a very good tutorial on the site of another FOP... www.renderx.com COMMODORE 64

Re: foregroundColor

Niki I posted a schema to the dev list last week. The schema is pretty good. Feel free to point it out to the folks at XMLSpy. They can use XMLSPY to generate their own DTD from that. The schema has a few tweaks left before I post it here. Chuck Paussa Niki Dinsey wrote: A note about using
