Scaling of background-image

2003-02-19 Thread Jeff_Mitchell
I'm working on getting a block to use a background image, but it seems that when the image is inserted into the PDF, it's put in at some terribly low resolution. I'm trying to get the image to scale to fit the space of the block, but to no avail. Here's a quick snippet of the FO I'm using:

Roland- And just as Jeff was preparing to leave work, a ray of light came down from the sky, and a voice spoke to him. 'Jeff', the voice said, 'I am Roland, the keeper of the knowledge of absolute positioning. Check your e-mail one last time before leaving.' And Jeff checked his e-mail, and

Matthew- I've used FOP (with Sun's JRE, not Microsoft's -- see Oleg's note) with IIS 5 (and I would assume it would work with IIS 4) by basically writing an ActiveX DLL that shells out to a call to the fop.bat file, and monitors a log file of the output from the batch file to see when it's

All right, I'll cop to being a dumb VB er, but it's company mandated, not me. Anyway, here's how my app works: A user comes into the site, and makes a request. (Clicks a button saying, Gimme a PDF) This request is added to a DB, and the ASP immediately returns with a status page for the

Matthew- I ran into the same problem as you (I was trying to call FOP from an ASP page), and what it looks like we need is some sort of VB-compatible version of JNI, which allows C++ apps to call Java apps natively. I ended up doing what others have suggested, and calling FOP via a shell.

Re: Quality of Grafics

Stephan- Are you noticing degraded image quality in a printed version of the PDF, or only in an on-screen display? If it's in the on-screen display, I would attribute the degradation to the way the PDF Viewer handles scaling of images. Rather than using a nice, blurred scaling algorithm, I

Max- Why the reluctance to use tables? Is it a design issue, speed issue, technical issue? Generally, tables are the textbook answer to this kind of question. If your specific project has requirements that make tables inappropriate, there may be other solutions. -Jeff Mitchell

Patrick- The server portion of the URL you're using looks like an NT name, or at least a name in your default domain (TCP/IP, not NT) If you're doing this all on one machine (if you're running FOP on epndev0006), why not use a relative path through the file structure (i.e.

Re: FOP Jars

2002-05-09 Thread Jeff_Mitchell
Sal- jimi-1.0.jar isn't necessary to run FOP, but if you want it, I'd suggest downloading it from Sun. It's not included with the FOP distribution because of licensing issues. I believe those same licensing issues would preclude people from sending the file around via e-mail, too, but IANAL.

Devon- Check J.Pietschmann's reply to your problem. He explains why your original command wasn't working, and why Jimi isn't included in the FOP download. I believe you can just download Jimi from the Sun site if you want it, but I've been running with the batch file as is, with no problems.
