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 +txtPdf.getText()); ). I was thinking that if java provided a way to display an active http link it would be easy to open a pdf file via the default web browser. What do you think? Does anyone know how to send either ps or pdf directly to the printer (or via a print dialog)? Thank you for your help Franck

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 batik and the adobe-viewer. because in the svg the fill attribute had only none, black and gray as values. here is the svg tag we´re using... svg xmlns:xlink=http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink; style=fill-opacity:1; color-interpolation:auto; color-rendering:auto; text-rendering:auto; stroke:black; stroke-linecap:square; stroke-miterlimit:10; stroke-opacity:1; shape-rendering:auto; fill:red; stroke-dasharray:none; font-weight:normal; stroke-width:1; font-family:apos;sansserifapos;; font-style:normal; stroke-linejoin:miter; font-size:12; image-rendering:auto; stroke-dashoffset:0; xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2000/svg; after all, it seems i have to go deeper into this svg stuff. cheers sam -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: J.Pietschmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.

This hasn't come up before. As a wild guess check whether your SVG contains transparent stuff or certain other shading effects, FOP can't render them properly into PDF. Apart from this, I'd have to resort to mind reading, which I'm very bad at, unless you post your SVG code. It would be nice if you trimmed it down as much as possible. This may also reveal the problem to you. J.Pietschmann
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 http://itext.sourceforge.net Cyril At 10:08 16/05/2002 +0200, you wrote: hello all, Is there a way to password protect a pdf ?

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.

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 well. [Niki Dinsey] Hi there ppl, I've spoken to XML Spy about this a couple of weeks ago, seems they used a DTD referenced from the XSL W3C Working Draft, 21 Apr 1999. This was the last time w3c brought out a DTD for the fo namespace. They (xmlspy) won't allow you to manually edit the auto complete so I guess we're stuck with this outdated version till W3C get round to bringing something new out. Does anybody have a newer version of the fo DTD/XSD Check the mail from XMLSpy below: Niks _ Dear Niks, I have spoken to our CTO and he has said that we have not implemented the new commands due to the fact that the W3C hasn't brought about a new XSL dtd since the http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-xsl-19990421/#AEN7695 version.

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. Obviously, the group of rows would hold within a single page, so why is this page break occuring? How should the keep-with-next property be specified on a fo:table-row? I saw from previous postings that keep-with-next=always was used; the XLSFO REC 1.0 spec rather mentions keep-with-next.within-page=always. I tried the two but it didn't work either. I did read from J. Pietschmann (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-userm=101950534709263w=2) that the keep-with-next property should work for table rows. Is this true for FOP 0.20.3 or should I get the latest CVS version? Or did I overlook something? I joined the source XFO, as it is rather lengthy, and marked the group of row which spans across pages 2 and 3 with the '[BEGIN]' and '[END]' text markers. As there is a keep-with-next=always on each row, but the last, I would expect the group to be rendered on start of page 3. Please note that there are external references to small SVG glyphs. I also joined the resulting PDF document; the offending page break occurs within the group of rows labeled 16:15, at end of page 2. I tried with FOP 0.20.3, binary distribution, JDK 1.3.1_02 (win2K). Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards Olivier Lange Some history: For the same document, I first had trouble with this group of rows in a table, were the first cell spanned across a group of 9 rows; the group of rows with the spanned cell crosses the page boundary, but no page break occurred. I found that there was already a bug #6997 Row-spanned row data breaks over a page within a column filled in the Apache bug database, so I added my source document as broken testcase; there is also the resulting broken PDF document: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6997 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1? !-- HEI Course schedule, Summer 2002 Le Petit Atelier de Génie logiciel, O.

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) #IMPLIED !ENTITY % alignes_span %alignes; rowspan NMTOKEN '1' colspan NMTOKEN '1' [...] !ELEMENT table (title?, thead?, tbody+, tfoot?) !ATTLIST table %id_req; width CDATA #IMPLIED summary CDATA #IMPLIED cellspacing CDATA #IMPLIED cellpadding CDATA #IMPLIED !ELEMENT thead (tr)+ !ATTLIST thead %id_imp; %alignes; !ELEMENT tfoot (tr)+ !ATTLIST tfoot %id_imp; %alignes; !ELEMENT tbody (tr)+ !ATTLIST tbody %id_imp; %alignes; !ELEMENT tr (th | td)+ !ATTLIST tr %id_imp; %alignes; !ELEMENT th (%outer;)* !ATTLIST th %id_imp; %alignes_span; !ELEMENT td (%outer;)* !ATTLIST td %id_imp; %alignes_span; [...] Transforming into html with xslt was no problem as expected, but how could a template look like in fo (a bit heavy for newbies because of counting columns etc.)? The fo:table-markups are a bit confusing, and some of them don't seem to work as expected in the current FOP-version (like table-and-caption).

tax a database with such a heavy load, when you can
use the Apache HTTPD. Just write a little Perl to convert
the docs as they come in, and put them in an obvious place,

Or is there a good reason why not? (Like, you work for Oracle...)

Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated! Kind regards Olivier Lange Some history: For the same document, I first had trouble with this group of rows in a table, were the first cell spanned across a group of 9 rows; the group of rows with the spanned cell crosses the page boundary, but no page break occurred. I found that there was already a bug #6997 Row-spanned row data breaks over a page within a column filled in the Apache bug database, so I added my source document as broken testcase; there is also the resulting broken PDF document: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6997 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=iso-8859-1? !-- HEI Course schedule, Summer 2002 Le Petit Atelier de Génie logiciel, O.

You have at least two options:
1. Let the Java library write a stream in an encoding which
is understood by an XML parser. Look at the documentation for
java.io.OutputStreamWriter for this purpose. Create one with
UTF-8 or perhaps another UTF encoding, like
w=new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(f.xml),UTF-8)
w.write(theString,0,theString.length());
Be sure to put an XML declaration in front with either
encoding=UTF-8 or no encoding specification at all (UTF-8
can be autodetected). There is an overwiev of character
encoding handling in Java on the package summary for java.lang.
2. Print the XML character references yourself. This isn't hard
(assuming your default character encoding is ASCII or an ASCII
extension like ISO-8859).
for( int i=0;itheString.length();i++ ) {
char c=theString.charAt(i);
int ci=(int)c;
if( ci=127 ) {
System.out.print(c);
} else {
System.out.print(#+ci+;);
}
}
