RE: PDF-PS-PDF with EPS
How about just delivering a link to FreeHEP and requiring the end user to download FreeHEP if they need that support and are willing to agree to the license?

Re: EPS image printing problem
Since I indicated Ghostscript users should use 7.06 in that POST, can you confirm whether or not your problem still exists in 7.06? I have only tried viewing the images with 7.04 so I wouldn't know about 7.06 but with 7.04 the images shows up as intended... I will go on vacation for a week now but please continue the discussion around this topic, I will read it all when I come back. /Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: XMLParser error with unicode characters in XML file.
Manoj, For the XML declaration, the encoding attribute value is specified by the IANA values. The uppercase value of 'utf-8' is the prefered form of the character set. This is the first time I have seen the need for choosing the preferred value, but I will make a note of it for my stylesheets. You can find a list of character set values online (below). Mike Ferrando Washington, DC IANA character set spec http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets W3c XML 1.0 spec http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-existing-stds --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the reply. However this problem has nothing to do with data transfer as I am creating XML file on the fly. So if is installed on Unix file gets created on Unix and same for windows... My guess turned out right. On Unix you need to specify the encoding as 'UTF-8' ( case sensitive ) while on windows 'utf8' ( and for that matter 'UTF-8') works fine..

It worked on windows 2000 pro which I am using. Does the utf8 string needs to be different on unix? The most likely problem is that the files got corrupted during transfer. You should definitely get some education about encoding issues rather than stumbling along blindly. Start here for the XML related problems http://skew.org/xml/tutorial/ There are some websites dealing with encoding issues in Java and with transferring files across machines as well.

Re: Invoking FOP from C++
Have you looked into the Java Native Interface (JNI)? It works both ways. You can use it in Java to call native libraries and you can also use it to call Java code from C/C++. This should give you access to the page count property as well as controlling output creation. This link might help you get started: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/implementing/index.html Oosterbaan, Douglas S. (LNG-DAY) wrote: Has anyone invoked FOP 0.20.5 from a C++ process? We have a large existing C++ component which needs the services provided by FOP. I've downloaded the binary and played around with it, and was considering using a fork() and exec(), but FAQ 2.8 states: It is best to avoid exec'ing FOP, use the library interface instead. FAQ 2.8 is in reference to the Jave Runtime.exec() call, but I assume the same would apply to a C++ exec(). Also, I need to get back the page count that is included in the results object returned by FOP. My next approach is to download the source, write a Java wrapper for FOP, and call my wrapper process either through an exec() or a CORBA call. But if possible I would like to just use the binary in it's original form. Has anyone else had any experience calling FOP from C++? Thanks. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: PDF-PS-PDF with EPS
The problem is that we would probably need to write some code that interfaces directly with FreeHEP's PostScript interpreter. This is a thing we can't do licence-wise. If there was an Apache-compatible general API in between that frees us from directly importing org.freehep.postscript.* we would have a different situation. One other possibility, of course, is to talk to the FreeHEP people and ask them to licence the PS interpreter under an Apache-compatible licence. Another would to be to finally get the FSF to publicly describe the impact of the (L)GPL license on the Java programming language. Finally, the integration code could also be hosted somewhere at SourceForge, for example, but this whole mix of licences makes it very hard to use FOP in a commercial environment if you need this functionality. Having all this under a BSD/Apache-style licence would make things more comfortable.
