FOP 0.20.3 - master reference issue
Hi all I've updated my version of FOP to 0.20.3 (from Fop 0.20.1) and immediately got an issue with an existing .fo which was working nicely for a while there. The error I'm getting when kicking FOP into gear is: [INFO]: FOP 0.20.3 [INFO]: building formatting object tree [ERROR]: 'master-reference' for 'fo:page-sequence' matches no 'simple-page-master' or 'page-sequence-master' I take this to mean that either a reference name in my .fo is wrong or missing but the relevant bit of the .fo looks like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master master-name=main margin-right=1cm margin-left=1cm margin-bottom=1.5cm margin-top=1cm page-width=21cm page-height=29.7cm fo:region-before extent=3cm/ fo:region-after extent=2.5cm/ fo:region-body margin-top=4cm margin-bottom=3.5cm margin-left=0cm margin-right=0cm/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-name=main fo:static-content flow-name=xsl-region-before fo:table Am I missing something obvious here or has FOP changed the way it works in some subtle way?

Re: Multi columns for a text
Thank you very much for your response, I understood and succeeded with multi-column body region, but it didn't fit my needs. In fact I need multi column in block containers or tables, because i need two columns on the left and a third one completly independant in the right in a page and i need a two columns area and a third columns area in the same page. Do you have simple examples or urls to manage multi columns in block-containers or tables ? Thank you for your help Xavier J.Pietschmann wrote: Xavier DAMAY wrote: I want to generate dynamically a multicolumn area for a press-like Pdf. Does a solution exist ? I tried fo:block and i'm not confortable with tables. I will appriciate any help, You can create a multi-column body region by specifying the column-count property: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/slice6.html#fo_region-body You can have only one multi-column-area. There is a possibility to put a span=all for blocks which you want to have to span all columns (mainly intended for headlines). This would give you a layout as in a multi-column book. If you want to have a complex newspaper-like layout, with a grid with various possibly multi-column articles, you have to do it manually, either by using a blind table for the grid, or by using block-containers on absolute positions.

TIFF output format
Hello Everybody, for my application I created output from FOP to multipage TIFF images. I have a need in this format to fax documents, created by FOP. I think FOP developers can be interested in possibility to add to existing output formats the formats supported by Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) - BMP, JPEG, PNG, PNM and TIFF. TIFF is widely used for faxing, in image-processing systems. Other image formats can be useful to create read-only copy of the document, show FOP output in standard browsers. If FOP developers are not interested, my experience at least will be useful for some FOP users. Number of image processing can be reduced if AWTRenderer will allow to specify image type for the output images. When using image type BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_GRAY you don't need to convert image to gray. When using image type BufferedImage.TYPE_BYTE_BINARY there is also no need in binarization. Note, this type can't be used with current version of JAI, because it crashes on inverting big images of this type. This bug is already reported to the JAI developers and I hope will be fixed in future releases. The double invert operation on the image is a workaround of problems with photometric interpretation in TIFF images. The code is released under the same license as FOP itself. It works well for me, but I do not give any guarantees about its usefulness. I used JAI 1.1.1, FOP 20.3. The images were generated for faxing by RightFax 7.2 fax server with using their Java API.

In fact I need multi column in block containers or tables, because i need two columns on the left and a third one completly independant in the right in a page and i need a two columns area and a third columns area in the same page. As far as i have understood the spec, you can't define an arbitrary area and have multi-column flowing text in it in XSLFO. Study it yourself, maybe i've overlooked something. Do you have simple examples or urls to manage multi columns in block-containers or tables ? If you mean text flowing automatically from column to column, there aren't any. Block containers can't have multiple columns for itself. The purpose of block containers is mainly changing block progression direction, for example having text flow from bottom to top in an otherwise top-to bottom text, although they are also often used simply to group blocks for positioning and similar tasks. In tables, you can have multiple columns, but you have to distribute the text across columns by yourself, it won't flow automatically, and there are no mechanisms to make balanced columns easily. You can try to produce balanced columns at the XSLT level. J.Pietschmann

Does it work if you switch off bold and italics? (by the way i tried font-family:helvetica, too) Try Helvetica (capital H). Details matter, sometimes :-) J.Pietschmann
Re: Border after fo:table-row
Emma Larsson wrote: Ok.. But then I have to set these attributes for each cell in each row? There is now way to set the border on the entire row at once? Yes, setting border properties on a row is not implemented, one reason being a pending clarification of the spec. You have to set the border attributes on each cell, and shift any margins and padding cells might have to the blocks within the cells. J.Pietschmann
Re: Adding Fonts to userconfig...

Re: rendering xml escape characters in svg
Eric Smith wrote: Is there a way to get xml escaped characters to render in svg's? All my xml escapes of foreign language chars in svg's render as literal question marks. (The same escapes render fine when in xsl:fo). I suppose you mean character references, like #x2022;. You can try to select a font which has glyphs for the characters in question. Standard fonts usually don't have glyphs for what are probably foreign characters to you (there will be people for which they aren't foreign). AFAIK Batik, which is used in FOP for rendering SVG, uses Java fonts for rendering, check with the Batik people for how to check for and install the fonts you want. It may be possible to use FOP fonts by setting strokeSVGText to false, see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-devm=100525746417127w=2 J.Pietschmann

This means, precedence can't be used to collapse space-after and space-before of consecutive blocks. Assuming Western reference-orienattion and writing mode, clause 3a of Section 4.2.5 indicates that if the border-after-width and padding-after of the first block are zero, and the border-before-width and padding-before of the second block are zero, that we have a block-stacking constraint. In which case the precedence on the space-fater of the one and the space-before of the other can be used precisely to achieve this collapsing effect. Regards, Arved Sandstrom
