Yes,
we are doing the xml to pdf transformation in memeory. The xml file size is
330K and pdf file is 56 page.

I
have also noticed that doing the XML to FO to PDF in memory as opposed to
writing to disk reduces time by about 80% in the samples that I
tried.
I
was using iTEXT, XEP, FOP, RTF2FO etc.
Below you say that a 56 page PDF from XML files
takes about 2 minutes. That sounds really good - I was working with 2 pages
and 2 XML files generating FO doing an XSLT transform to merge and coverting
to PDF and that was taking me about 1.5 minutes on a 333MHZ
machine.
I
was just curoius what the total sizes of the XML, the FOs and the PDF were.
Did you concate the FOs? how did you get a single PDF (what
tool)?

How to decrease the responding time of converting from

PDF from XML files. Is that possible to convert from XML to PDF
without the intermediate stage of FO format ?

Matt, I think Adobe are working largley on XMP which is XML that is more friendly to Adobe PDF (which is a generally the approach Adobe rather than the way round you'd mentioned). Seybold offers a fantastic collection of information on these kind of issues and I also think you can get free access to check this out just for a limited period if you go to there site. http://www.seyboldseminars.com/sf2002/index.php?dir=attendeefile=registration Hope the temporary access is still good!

Are you talking about either the Make Accessible plug-in or the Save as XML plugin? I don't think either of these qualify, but it would be cool if Adobe is working on some new kind of PDF that is more XML friendly and more conducive to large docs being generated on demand (possibly sacrificing some of the exotic formatting features that reporting apps have no use for anyway). It seems that the common factor across all these commercial and free PDF generators with performance problems is the conversion of XML to PDF. -Matt _ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com

Embedding a table in a table-row

sub/superscript not supported by FOP ?
Hi FOPpers ! While writing on a extensive DocBook Documentation I discovered that subscript and superscript tags from DocBook don't get rendered properly when transformed to FO and then to PDF via FOP. I use Norman Walsh's DocBook-XSL-Stylesheets and for HTML everything work's fine... The text in both tags gets rendered just as normal text, thus being almost useless...This also covers the footnote problem, where the footnote indices don't get superscripted as they should... Is this a known problem ?

docbook link and ulink to real links in PDF possible ?
Hello FOP community As I've seen working links in a PDF (to other websites) I wonder if it's possible to generate internal and external links from my DocBook into PDF ? I already gave the archives a try but couldn't find anything useful... The DocBook tag link doesn't get interpreted at all and ulink writes the whole URL in [ ] behind the link text, which can be very annoying ! If I use the FOP extensions I can produce bookmarks that work, so I guess there could be a solution for this... btw.: When I use these FOP extensions with my Stylesheets, the TOC's and LOT's all don't get proper leader dots to right-align the pagenumbers... Why is this ? If I don't use them, I get the leader dot all fine lined up... any help would be very appreciated...

render DOM to PDF with FOP

FOP vs. Actuate Java Edition
Hello all, Recently we had a sales demo of the Actuate Java Edition reporting tool. The tool provides a Swing interface to assist in formatting the layout, and it also can connect to RDBMS data sources to provide drag-n-drop additions of report data elements. We're currently planning on using an FOP-based solution for our reporting needs. We built a fairly optimized FOP architecture which performs well -- complex PDF pages are rendered at the rate of approximately 2 pages per second on an Intel 750 MHz box. Question: Does anybody out there have any experience with the Actuate Java Edition tool? The GUI format designer would be nice, but I'm guessing not as flexible as using XSL stylesheets as in FOP. Also, would it perform better than the FOP, as in being faster or using less memory? I know the Actuate tool can provide a table of contents, which is known to cause problems when using FOP -- but I don't know if the Actuate tool suffers the same problem (sales demos use small reports). Any insight is greatly appreciated. -Ryan

RE: FOP vs. Actuate Java Edition
Hello, Yes, we had some experience with Actuate and it was.. BAD Actually we used version 4.1, used to be called ERW, but we also tested version 5 and we had the same problems First, the one that really had us change to FOP (after wasting money on Actuate), text inside Actuate produced table cells DOES NOT WRAP. The text is simply written on the neighbor cells Also, when the data source for the report is the application not the database directly, it is very difficult to program it. You'll get very frustrated having to create lots of Interfaces, ... You'll also have to launch the Actuate application from your own code in order to create the report templates, you will not be able to use it directly as an API to crate such templates (or use another standard tool, e.g. and XSL editor like in FOP). A job that will NOT be funny As for FOP (XSLT/XSLFO combination) You not only get the maximum flexibility and the standardization, but the performance is actually very good. You also have the ease and flexibility to get the data in the form of XML the way you want it (quite a lot of XML api's/tools out there.

Page background color
Hello, I am using fop-0.20.3 to generate some PDF documents. Now I wish to get a gray background for the document's hole pages, independent from the size of their content. According to the XSL-FO specification the tag fo:region-body supports an attribute background-color, so what I tried is the following: fo:root xmlns:fo=http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format; fo:layout-master-set fo:simple-page-master page-height=841.9pt page-width=595.3pt master-name=spm_1 fo:region-body background-color=#d9d9d9 region-name=region-body/ /fo:simple-page-master /fo:layout-master-set fo:page-sequence master-reference=spm_1 fo:flow flow-name=region-body fo:blockTest/fo:block /fo:flow /fo:page-sequence /fo:root But in the resulting PDF none gray area does appear. It would not help to use a tag fo:block-container background-color=#d9d9d9, because the document's content may take several pages, so the containers height would be unknown. I also tried to place a gray block-container as fo:static-content, but then it is in the foreground and overwrites the pages' content. Could anybody please give me a hint how to solve my problem?

Re: table-layout=fixed
Gabor, Here's some sample code. Notice the use of proportional-column-width() That allows you to do your percentage column widths. proportional-column-width allows you to proportion the widths of those columns not defined by a fixed width. You also need to designate the width of the table in the table tag.

Re: tabulator
Hi Yvonne, XSL FOain't no wordprocessing application, as you might guess already. It is for block-oriented layout definitions targeted at formatters like FOP. If you need something aligned, you must basically put it in a fo:block structure and assign attributes like text-align="left", text-align="center" or text-align="right" For a nice introduction to XSL FO consult the tutorial section of: http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html Sorry, but to me your mail seems a bit like: wrong train, wrong time, wrong station. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Moebius, Yvonne [EMAIL PROTECTED]An: Fop User (E-Mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED]Datum: Mittwoch, 12.

Hello, I have a problem I can't figure out, hoping someone has done this before. I have a FOP program to do some printing from a Java. I created a Java Swing Applet that uses FOP to do the printing. I am using code out of FOP 0.20.3 distribution that is in org.apache.fop.apps. I used the same code in PrintStarter to do the printing. The printing works fine (the page looks as I would expect) but the really weird thing is that the output from the print is going to the manual feed on my printer instead of to the normal output bin. What this means is each time I print I have to walk over to the printer and manually feed in the pages to be printed...obviously not a good solution :) The same problem occurs when I use the fop.bat program to do the printing instead of my program. Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: tabulator
It is probably a good idea to put it in table-cells, if simple block/inline structures dont do the trick. I guess you want the period always happen at the same "column", for achieving that I suggest splitting the figures in two table cells (two columns) with the border representing the seperator. but for "real" decimal padding according to the period, I dunno. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Moebius, Yvonne [EMAIL PROTECTED]An: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' [EMAIL PROTECTED]Datum: Mittwoch, 12.

The problem is toorder numbers with different decimal places among each other. Like 12.57 5.4 67. Is it possible align them? -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Markus Wiese [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

It is for block-oriented layout definitions targeted at formatters like FOP. If you need something aligned, you must basically put it in a fo:block structure and assign attributes like text-align="left", text-align="center" or text-align="right" For a nice introduction to XSL FO consult the tutorial section of: http://xml.apache.org/fop/resources.html Sorry, but to me your mail seems a bit like: wrong train, wrong time, wrong station. markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht-Von: Moebius, Yvonne [EMAIL PROTECTED]An: Fop User (E-Mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED]Datum: Mittwoch, 12.

Re: tabulator
Yvonne, While FOP is not Microsoft Word, it can do what you want, if you know what it is that you want done. 1. Left tabulatorfo:table-cell text-align=start 2. Right tabulatorfo:table-cell text-align=end 3. Center tabulatorfo:table-cell text-align=center 4. Decimal tabulatorfo:table-cell text-align=end plus you need to make sure that the number of digits after the decimal point are equal for all numbers. If they aren't equal, then add the right number of zeros after the number to pad it correctly wrapped in an inline element fo:inline font-color=white000/fo:inline Chuck Paussa *-Ursprüngliche Nachricht-* *Von: *Moebius, Yvonne [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *An: *Fop User (E-Mail) [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *Datum: *Mittwoch, 12.

RE: Control of long words inside a table cell
Based on the http URL given below, I used one of the sample templates and was able to fix the problem. Thanks a lot for the help. Prabhakar -Original Message- From: Roland Neilands [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 5:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Control of long words inside a table cell So I guess if its a single word like a full package name in Java where the package name is wider than the width of the cell, I will have to force breaking up the package name with white space. Is this right? If hyphenation isn't appropriate you can't widen the column, then yes.

RE:How do you create an empty report
Currently we use Cocoon2 to publish reports. Everything works fine as long as there is XML data in the XML file that is dynamically generated. But when there is no data, I get an exception on the WebServer console as below: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: fo:flow must contain block-level children at org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformerImpl.run(TransformerImpl.java:3231) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484) Here is the snippet of the XSL I use for processing the XML data: fo:flow flow-name=xsl-region-body xsl:apply-templates select=LogMessage / /fo:flow As long as the tag LogMessage exists in the XML data file, everything works as designed but if the LogMessage tag does not exist because there are no log messages, I get the above exception. Is there a way, to just publish an empty report with just the Column headers if there is no LogMessage tag in the XML data file . How would I modify the above snippet? I appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks. Prabhakar
