OT: page break problem
hi, sorry for posting this on the wrong list but i think everybody (except me) on the list knows enough to help me. this is my xml file in a very short form: ... ... ... now i'm doing a transformation fo -> pdf with fop and an xsl file and i want to make a page break after each tag. the problem is that i now get an empty page cause it also makes a page break after the last page. the section in my xsl file looks like this at the moment. how do i get the page break without the last blank page. sorry for the newbie question. thanx in advance. mk - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: blank page
Look carefully: you want to have the *page count*, or alternatively, the last page number in the page sequence (because counting starts with "1"). Usually this can be done with a page number citation referring to something on the last page, however, there is *no* way to refer to something on a forced blank page. Ok, i understand it, i think. I cannot refer to anything that does not exist as an object in the (my own) fo-source (or formatted object tree). It's the XSLFO design, not the implementation posing the problem. You mean: the XSLFO design gives no pointers or handles on how to implement "this"? It there somebody allready talking with the W3C people about this?

Concatenating pdf's
Hi, not specifically a FOP question but I have a requirement to append on the end of a FOP-generated pdf another pdf. This other pdf is not dynamically generated. Is this possible? Page numbering and TOC do not need to reference this additional pdf if that makes things easier. The only way I can see of doing this is to reverse-engineer the pdf to be generated by FOP but we do not have time to do this.

Re: Aligning a block with the bottom of the page
Use the region-after sections of your static-content of your page-sequences. Okay, thanks. Er, is there any way to do this inside a ? In general, i would say: no. Maybe you can construct something in a page-wide table. I still advise you to use the static-content for this. Thats it's purpose (i believe) and easy to implement. What's your problem with static-content? (Look around for examples with page-numbers.) Oscar - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ive amended your sample xsl below. So that page-break should only be output if its not the last occurrence of page element in the input xml.

Could you try to enable debugging? I don't know how FOP is called in your environment. For the FOP command line this is -d. When embedded the logger must be set to DEBUG level. Could you then post the full error message together with the stacktrace and maybe some XML/XSL files nicely zipped up? Maybe someone with DocBook experience could check if this problem can be reproduced? Jeremias Maerki - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FOP logger plea for help :-)
Howdy, This question isn't specifically aimed at Jeremias, although he made reference to the logger, which prompted this question: Is there some sort of newbie tutorial where I could learn how to enable the logger on Windows, RedHat Linux and/or AIX? I've spent many a moment trying to figure out how to use the logger, but to no avail. I run Windows 2000 Pro, Linux RedHat & AIX (I'm just a user of the UNIX/Linux boxes, and not administrator, but I can have admins install/configure stuff for me). I've seen logger net set errors every time I run FOP from the command line in Windows: [ERROR] FOP 0.20.4 [DEBUG] Using org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser as SAX2 Parser [ERROR] Logger not set I think I could learn a lot about the FOP process if I could see a log.

Re: FOP logger plea for help :-)
You're running FOP from the command line, so you won't have any chance to influence the setting of the logger yourself. You can only use the -d option to set the logger to DEBUG level. But what you see here is probably a bug in 0.20.4. Have you tried 0.20.5rc already?

You can only use the -d option to set the logger to DEBUG level. But what you see here is probably a bug in 0.20.4. Have you tried 0.20.5rc already? Actually, I'm not currently having a problem. I copied cmd line output from my last successful run of FOP. That was merely one of the lines output when I executed the -d option in the command line. So, are you saying that since I'm running from the command line, I can't set up the logger? Does the logger show anything different from what I get with -d? FWIW, I've tried 0.20.5rc and have found the output almost identical with the current version. One exception is that it seems to run about 30%-40% faster now (!): ** FOP-0.20.5rc ** [DEBUG] Initial heap size: 2678Kb [DEBUG] Current heap size: 6424Kb [DEBUG] Total memory used: 3745Kb [DEBUG] Memory use is indicative; no GC was performed [DEBUG] These figures should not be used comparatively [DEBUG] Total time used: 7431ms [DEBUG] Pages rendered: 4 [DEBUG] Avg render time: 1857ms/page ** FOP-0.20.4 ** [DEBUG] Initial heap size: 1909Kb [DEBUG] Current heap size: 6033Kb [DEBUG] Total memory used: 4124Kb [DEBUG] Memory use is indicative; no GC was performed [DEBUG] These figures should not be used comparatively [DEBUG] Total time used: 12468ms [DEBUG] Pages rendered: 4 [DEBUG] Avg render time: 3117ms/page It's interesting to note that 0.20.5rc requires more "Initial" & "Current" heap size, but used less memory. It also appears to shave off 1260ms (40% savings!). Keeping in mind that this is a Release Candidate and that things could change (not to mention release date! :-), but this certainly bodes well... Other than speed, I haven't noticed any changes since the previous version personally (what do you guys do with all of your time anyway? :-). Seriously, though, I've been using only JPG & GIF files, so I haven't needed the functionality of JAI & JIMI yet. I'm also looking forward to ENCRYPTION options. BTW, I noticed this in the Release Notes: This is the last planed release in the 0.20.x series (aka maintenance branch).

We can use all the help we can get. Even answering questions on fop-user is a big help for us because we can concentrate more on code.
