Problems with version of xerces - xalan
Hi everbody, I'm trying to make a pdf of an docbook document by transforming docbook to fo via xalan and by making pdf from that with fo. I'm now in trouble with different versions of xalan - xerces. I'm using jdk 1.4, with includes an older one and with this nothing is working. So I put xalan-2.0.1.jar and xerces_1_3_1.jar in jre/lib/endorsed. Now the docbook-fo-transformation is working, but not the fo-pdf transformation. When I use xalan-2.3.1.jar and xercesImpl-2.0.1.jar as contained in the fop release, the fo-pdf-transformation is working, but not the docbook-fo transformation. I suppose it's due to incompatible xalan-xerces versions. Does anybody have experiences with that ? Any idea ? Thanks a lot Stefan -- Stefan Kuhn M. A.

Check out xalan 2.4.1 and xercesImpl 2.2.1 (they are latest versions probably), fop0.20.5rc happy with them, may be docbook too? -- Oleg Tkachenko eXperanto team Multiconn Technologies, Israel - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Nesting Tables
I am new to FOP and I got the examples running. I will be using FOP to generate PDF invoices and was wondering if there are any examples of how to nest a table inside of a table and have the nested table be centered inside of the top level tables column?

Re: blank page
Oscar Schoof wrote: There is no reliable way to get the real total page count with FO mechanisms, you can only get page numbers. For me, it is for reference only, i don't need a page-count. Still, a reference like 'page 2 of 1' is weird. 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. Looks to me that the 0.20.5 renderer makes the use of fo:page-number-citation a problem. It's the XSLFO design, not the implementation posing the problem.

You can use blind table columns with proportional column width for centering. The following will appear to center a 5cm column: fo:table table-layout=fixed width=100% fo:table-column column-width=proportional-column-width(1)/ fo:table-column column-width=5cm/ fo:table-column column-width=proportional-column-width(1)/ fo:table-body fo:table-row fo:table-cell/ fo:table-cell...fo:table-cell fo:table-cell/ /fo:table-row ... Depending on your problem you can add the two columns for centering to the table you want to have centered, or you can use the code above and put the inner table into the cell with the content.

Im trying to access the .xsl file by setting the relative path. Ive written below line in my servlet to set the baseDir: org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put(baseDir,http://localhost:8100/LDNotes/phySignatures/); where phySignatures is the dir where my images are located. Im getting below error while opening the PDF file: [ERROR] Could not load external SVG: The current document is unable to create an element of the requested type (namespace: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg, name: hea d).

Re: problem in FOP for locating image with relative path
Jasmin, I had some problems using a relative path with images also. What I ended doing was sending the application path as an attribute in the xml file. Using application.getRealPath() from within your jsp should give you a starting point, or ServletContext.getRealPath() from within a servlet. Richard Shonk Flowserve Corp.

For example the JSP that has link to open this PDF file using xsl-fo has url=http://localhost:8100/LDNotes/doctor/ShowAllFinalDocs.jsp and my all images to display are located in /LDNotes/doctor/ folder at default server directory of JRun.

problem in FOP for locating image with relative path THOUGH have used BaseDir
Hi, In context of my below email, I have also tried with setting base dir from the servlet by writing below line in servlet: org.apache.fop.configuration.Configuration.put(baseDir,http://localhost:8100/LDNotes/doctor/); and change my xsl-fo code like below: (just specifying image file name in source attribute as a relative path) fo:block text-align=center start-indent = 10.0cm fo:external-graphic xsl:attribute name=srcxsl:value-of select=Dictator_Signature//xsl:attribute /fo:external-graphic /fo:block But still Im getting below error: [ERROR] Could not load external SVG: The current document is unable to create an element of the requested type (namespace: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg, name: hea d). [ERROR] Error while creating area : No ImageReader for this type of image (http: //localhost:8100/MDNotes/doctor/signature.gif) Now, if I change my xsl-fo file again as below (give full path where the file is located in local system) xsl:attribute name=srcC:\\JRun4\\servers\\default\\MDNotes\\phySignatures\\xsl:value-of select=Dictator_Signature//xsl:attribute than it works fine.
