SVG to PDF: CMYK conversion / Can't open PDF in Adobe Illustrator
Hi
I convert an SVG file into a PDF file using FOP:
//--
// Save as PDF
//--
boolean saveAsPDF() {
try {
Configuration.put(strokeSVGText, Boolean.FALSE);
// create a JPEG transcoder
PDFTranscoder t = new PDFTranscoder();
// set the transcoding hints
// create the transcoder input
String s = new File(C:\\Temp\\Chart.svg).toURL().toString();
TranscoderInput input = new TranscoderInput(s);
// create the transcoder output
OutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(C:\\Temp\\Chart.pdf);
TranscoderOutput output = new TranscoderOutput(ostream);
// save the image
t.transcode(input, output);
// flush and close the stream then exit
ostream.flush();
ostream.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
return false;
}
catch (IOException e) {
return false;
}
catch (TranscoderException e) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
The conversion works fine, but I have 2 problems:
- The SVG file is in RGB colorspace, the PDF should be in CMYK.
How can I convert RGB to CMYK?
- I can open the PDF in Adobe Reader, but not in Adobe Illustrator.
What could be wrong?
Has anybody the same effect?
Thanks for help
Hans

I think there must be some difference in drivers of the two printers, that seem to define additionally to the XSL:FO definition of the margins their own (default) margins. I see that this is not 100% FOP question but perhaps someone in here has some experiences with printing to different printers and can share Knowledge!? Greetings Normen If the problem is related to margin-widths, I would set my outer margin (printable-area page margins) generously, and seeing if that makes the pages print. You might have one printer whose printable area requires a 1cm margin, whereas another might require a 1.5cm margin.

Thanks in advance Normen Ruhrus (Much of this message mirrors the previous answer I gave, however there is a bit more information below.) In our testing at my company, we've found that the version of Java being used may affect the output. In particular, there was a bug in pre-1.4.x Sun java that had FontMetrics issues. IBM 1.30 java appears to be unaffected by this bug. As a result, we've indicated to our clients that our FOP implementation requires Sun Java 1.4.1+ or IBM Java 1.30+. If you're having problems, see if you can install one of these JAVA upgrades (you shouldn't need to change the server to default to this new version to test. Just open a new terminal window, and set $JAVA_HOME to that new version of JAVA), and then do more testing. If you find it works, that may be the culprit. However, you'll want to test any other applications currently running on your server to make certain nothing breaks with the updated JRE before you implement the change.

Re: AW: left margin different on two printouts...
Philip, (just for completeness) when printing from Acrobat Reader 5, you've got to take into account the three checkboxes in the print dialog (in Copies and Adjustments) which can distort your print output by scaling the PDF (the function is dependant on the printable areas supplied by the printer drivers). I guess you know that one, but I can't tell from your mail if you took that into account. On 10.03.2003 22:58:21 Philip Semanchuk wrote: Normen, I am using FOP to produce my PDFs and have had the same problem, but I'm 99% sure it has nothing to do with FOP. My left/right margins are specified at exactly 25mm and they appear correct in the PDF. Here are my left/right margin results from a few printer tests. I did all my printing from Acrobat Reader 5: HP Laserjet 5/5M, from Linux with gimp-print driver: 29/27mm HP 5SiMX from NT4 (driver == ???): 29/27mm Xerox DC460 from NT4 (I think): 25/25mm As you can see some of these are off by 10% which I find annoying. We're trying to squeeze information-rich tables onto our pages and I don't like losing 2-3% of my page width to the printer's whims. But I think if we want to solve our problem we'll need to a) figure it out ourselves or b) take it to a newsgroup like comp.periphs.printers. I think FOP is not the culprit.

newbie: testing FOP on an existing document
as a beginner to FOP, i'm testing running it on an existing document to see how the PDF output differs from that produced by passivetex. as a testbed, i'm playing with tim waugh's selfdocbookx document, which has a nice working environment, a sample docbook document, and a Makefile to produce HTML, FO or PDF, depending on what you're after (if you're interested, this tarball is at www.cyberelk.net). as a test, i generated the FO file, then produced the final PDF file both using the standard passivetex that his Makefile uses, then using the latest version of FOP. as more than one person has already mentioned, FOP clearly does not handle some of the docbook features in that example. as a learning experience, i'm going to examine what's going on to see where it's failing and see if there are ways around that. if anyone has far too much time on their hands, they're welcome to take a look at the same document and give me advice on why things aren't being rendered properly. i'll be keeping a list. :-) rday - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: SVG to PDF: CMYK conversion / Can't open PDF in Adobe Illustrator
If I convert the SVG file with the version of FOP, the PDF file is much bigger (about 5 times). And a font I use (Arial) in the SVG file is changed in the PDF file. With the version 0.20.5 works this correct. I think I use the old version for the moment... One more question: Can I change the size (widht and height) of the generated PDF file?

Distribution of FOP - the different jars
Hello, I have a question mentioned the FOP Release 0.20.5. In this distribution are the following JARS Xerces version 2.2.1, Xalan version 2.4.1 and Batik version 1.5beta4. and avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar the original. In this JARS, is there only the needed minimum for FOP or contain this JARS the complete Files as defined in the original.

conditional include of fluff material
I have dynamic report, with chapters and pages. Each Chapter begins a new page. This is working in FOP. But if the chapter ends on a page that is more than 1/2 empty, I want to display some filler material (quotes from famous people, images, etc)... Is there a way to do a conditional include of content, the condition being that the page has enough space to fit the content? I don't want the filler material to generated a new page.

Best Image Format for FOP for printing and viewing?
This is for reports that people can view on-line and to print. So it's not a either view or print situation. It's like I need the best of both worlds. I need to have print quality and view quality in the same document. I am trying to get quality images in FOP, but have not been pleased with jpeg,png formats. If I use SVG, the print quality seems better, the on screen display is awful. What have people been doing to achieve a superior image quality in a PDF document with FOP for printing. Another thought was to try to create my images much bigger, than to scale them down to fit in the pdf. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. I will share my results on how I achieve this with the group when I hit the right answer. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Best Image Format for FOP for printing and viewing?
SVG is the best for printing It is a vector graphic and will sustain it's quality throughout... However, the source MUST be from a vector based application such as Adobe Illustrator. SVG's can import other raster images inside of an SVG and are NOT vector based. Therefore you must sustain the vector characteristics of the image throughout the rendering process Pete From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Best Image Format for FOP for printing and viewing?

Question about Word character encoding.
Hi,
I have a little query : I am looking for a table with the hexadecimal code
for the MS Word specific characters (eg: ... or the ' character).
I am coding a java class that will clean the Word input to avoid FOP to
render specific character as #.
eg :
if (c == 0x85) {
stBuffer.append(...);
} else {
stBuffer.append(c);
}
I looked over the web using google and didn't find it ... I began the work
with an hexadecimal editor, but a such table would be really usefull ! =)
The best would be a existing class, but I don't think it exists yet. If
someone need a such class, I'll send mine here once I will have finished
to code it.
Thanks,
Simon

RE: FOP in production app
Hi ! We are using fop 0.20.5 in client/server app (300 users, calls are synchronised) and in our websites (servlet embedded, synchronised too) running on tomcat 3.23 app server. We only use FOP for generating PDF dynamic catalogs (example here http://www.tatouage.fr/temp/fop_user_example.pdf). We just got some out of memory problem on the biggest document with lot of images, but we ran out of it by adding some memory to the serv, and we recently decided to use a dedicated server for fo rendering. I never used XEP or other concurrent, so I can't tell you about that. But we are really happy with FOP and never got any problem with it in production app. Cheers, Simon -Original Message- From: Holk, David A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: maandag 10 maart 2003 18:37 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: FOP in production app Is anyone using FOP in a production app?

Check the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/ Let me know if you find something interesting... The other usual answers: 1. Try to estimate whether there will be space left while doing XSLT and add the fluff there. 2. Try tricks with markers and/or footnotes. The latter might actually work due to a bug in FOP (footnotes at the end of a page sequences are discarded if they don't fit on the last page).

Re: PDF boomarks not created due to location?
Thank you very much Jeremias. The documentation that I have not been able to find is something that states whether this feature is WAD (working as designed) or if it is just a known quirk/bug.
